I don't think that's necessarily true, though. There have been higher profile murders where the killers were deeply involved in a fantasy world:

Bludgeoning someone to death with a brick in a sock takes some planning, but not much, nor is it particularly sophisticated. Much like stabbing a friend to death.

Not to mention that if people are lost in "obvious make-believe" and yet not a gibbering mess as you mentioned, how would we know it? You'd only see the cases that confirm your supposition. Quite a few serial killers are under some wacky delusions, but they're not always caught right away because they function at an acceptable social level long enough to carry out their plans.
