The media unfailingly reports each time: "Authorities are searching for a motive." Why? What will that accomplish?

I understand that from a law enforcement perspective, motive is considered an important element of a crime. But from my point of view, it’s silly to expect that motive will bring any closure or understanding. That’s because I believe that anyone who murders a person in cold blood has to be insane (from cold-blooded Charles Manson to some hot-blooded twenty-something who thinks the world is out to get him). And looking for a rational explanation from an insane person is, well, insane.

Just me.
