Something that doesn't show up on a lie detector or psychological exam. A mass murderer or serial killer doesn't tend to provide much foreshadowing of what he/she will do in a few decades, or what will lead up to it, even though people always try to go back and study or research the person's behavior, or ask people that knew them if they remember anything about the person. There's not really a simpler explanation than the person was always evil below the surface, no matter how good or humanitarian (or charitable/warm/generous) they seemed on the surface. Evil people can smile just like anybody else can.
The evil guy/girl knew that hiding in the light where everybody could see him/her would keep him/her in business longer than hiding in a dark alleyway where everybody would think to look for evil and creepy people/shit.
