Why?

Why did the Spanish or Latino guy kill the Plain Jane with the great body at the cabin before doing her? Seemed like a waste to me.

She could identify him, therefore she was a plain risk.

That wasn't the question.

I thought it was, but to be more specific the movie character was just erasing his past and Moira was no longer of any use. However, Felix Cortez in the book does not kill her and only had an affair with her to ascertain inside information where she worked in D.C.

It was an interseting choice. He's either gay. Or unsexual in nature getting off more on power games. Or he actually possesses something of a moral compass and couldn't kill a woman he just banged.
