I was friends with a psychopath for a long time (ended the friendship when I finally admitted to myself what he was).

This definitely matches how he saw himself. Big time self identity as having transcended the social contract. But also, not in any way ignorant of the social contract. Understands it better than most people actually, made a serious study of history, philosophy, and sociology when he was still struggling with his own psychopathy.

He tried really hard to find a reason to be good.

A friend of his died in suspicious circumstances, and it matched an “idle thought”/what-if scenario he used to talk to me about. I suspect he killed that guy, and my gut tells me he hasn’t stopped.

Hopefully you've tipped off the cops

He’s extremely powerful, and I have nothing to back it up with.

I honestly hadn’t considered it, and I will do that consideration seriously.

If you're serious and you really think that my be the case, might want to contact the detective on the case or try to get one opened.
