Why is motive so hard to find?

Establishing a motive can be complex because it involves understanding an individual's internal thoughts and intentions. Police investigations often rely on witness statements, digital footprints, and forensic evidence, which can take time to piece together. Without a clear confession or manifesto, the 'why' behind such an act remains elusive, as seen in this Krakow case.
