There she goes again. ;-)
I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around that because people are the source of supply and a dead person can’t provide supply. Also, I’m tired...

Yeah, but isn’t killing the person cutting off the source of supply? That’s what seems counter-intuitive to me.

No. Because they already have a source of supply to replace the old shortly dead one.
You mean like guy kills wife for one last shot because he had girlfriend as replacement?

Yeah. Like Chris Watts had Nichol Kessinger sittin' on ready before he wiped out the whole family. He wouldn't have committed the murders if he didn't have a source of supply lined up.
I think I need a new hobby.

OK, but are you saying he got supply from the act of murder or that the murder is a means of getting better access to the new source.
It’s a pretty interesting hobby

Both.
Interesting. Gonna have to noodle on that.

That was the final discard. I'm certain he got supply from it. In much the same way (dragging this back on topic) that Trump got supply from firing Tillerson on Twitter and every single tweet he tweets out every single day of his miserable soul sucking life.
