Mr. Palcznski who has a disorder referred to as manic depression, which causes him extreme mood swings, has been talking on a telephone throughout Saturday night with a psychiatrist who is trying to convince him to release his hostages.

Sources said Mr. Palczynski was in a similar situation before. In 1992, he kept police in the state of Idaho at bay for 16 hours following a domestic violence complaint by a girlfriend. He was finally forced out with tear gas

And since March 7, Mr. Palczynski has been on the run when police say he kidnapped his girlfriend, killed the couple she was staying with and a neighbor. A fourth person was killed the next day by a stray bullet as Palczynski allegedly carjacked another vehicle, a police source revealed.
