Sometimes it's reversed and the Instigator will bring the killer to the victim, instead of luring the victim to the killer. The reverse tactic is as follows:
Step 1
Same thing, for whatever reason, you and another person not getting along.
Step 2
An Instigator hears about the disagreement . The Instigator knows both of y'all avoiding each other to keep the peace. But Instigators hate peace, so this is the part where they devise a plan to get y'all in the same vicinity.
Step 3
The Instigator knows your location, and purposefully brings your enemy with them.
Step 4
The Instigator arrives at your location. You see that your enemy is with them also. You're taken off guard. As expected, you and your enemy exchange heated words. You are killed.
Step 5
The Instigator pretends to play the role of the Innocent Bystander, acting shocked and dumbfounded. Unfortunately, to law enforcement, it does appear that things just escalated. They don't realize it was orchestrated.
Step 6
Now usually the Killer does get arrested when it's done this way, because this time the Killer went to where you were located, instead of waiting for you to meet them at a location. In this reverse tactic, you were a sitting duck. You just didn't know it yet.
Step 7
The Instigator sometimes is charged with accessory , but not always.
Step 8 (varies)
If the Instigator was not charged with accessory, then only the Killer gets arrested and never realizes they got played by the Instigator. The Killer was so busy thinking they were setting the victim up, that they failed to realize they were also being set up....by the Instigator.
*There are plot twists to this reverse tactic also. Sometimes, your enemy really did NOT have plans on killing you. Sometimes the Instigator will tell your Enemy they going somewhere else, but then purposefully pull up to where you are located. Your enemy could be just as surprised as you when y'all see each other.*
