As a psychiatrist, I will say I found the OCD argument somewhat compelling, myself. Certainly not Schizophrenia so much, given how meticulous and organized the individual was. Personality disorders is a slam dunk, though bear in mind that forensic psychiatrists who interviewed Jeffrey Dahmer disagreed as to whether he was even antisocial. I read some of the reports at Mendota Hospital in Madison, WI, and could not believe just how concrete some of the forensic psychiatrists were.
OCD can take many shapes and forms, and also on average takes 17 years before anyone even seeks treatment. If he was in the throes of a struggle with some scrupulosity or moral intrusive thoughts that were distressing, and had poor insight into them, he could very well have believed himself to be possessed (some in the past have referred to a Factor X or being possessed by a demon. I believe Dennis Rader is one) by some intrusive thoughts -- an inner demon -- and in some perverse, disgusting way, done "exposure" by engaging in these behaviors. Certainly not the response prevention aspect of OCD treatment, which could arguably explain the escalation over time. /Conjecture
That said, his alcoholism is clear from his physiological appearance to me. Appears older than stated age, mildly plethoric face, subcutaneous fat distribution and by all accounts someone who should appear /younger/ than stated age given his biking, fishing, and athletic hobbies. Nonsmoker should knock years off his appearance also. Furthermore, individuals with antisocial personality have comorbid alcohol use disorder anywhere from 60-85% of the time, estimates suggest.
Whether or not he had OCD, which judging by his yard and some other peculiar behaviors at the crime scene, seems plausible, he could very well "simply" have had antisocial, narcissistic, paranoid, and obsessive compulsive personality disorders. The first three can be seen with the Iceman (link here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=toTW2bYwUtk ) Richard Kuklinski. Similar family structure, of note.
