Paid Members DJ Kris Posted December 13, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 One the subject of this though. What's the odds that there's 2 copycat killers and the original dude who killed say two prostitutes? Maybe they're all trying to outdo each other Or maybe the killings are drug related, or pimp related, or gang related and the media has hyped it up so much that the real killers arn't suspects (in the public's eye.) I don't think, for example, that there is any evidence that the women were actually killed WHILST working as prostitues.Well they disappeared from the streets at night, so I think it's unlikely they were walking the dog.Today's paper suggests that the killer(s) may have something against the Police and is trying to make them look incompetent. If that's the case, they've gone a bit overboard, all they needed was a break in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted December 13, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 It's obviously someone who KNOWS they are prostitutes. In fact, surely it's a regular customer. Surely they wouldn't go off with a stranger when they know other women have been killed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandiman Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 They've been a bit euphemistic about it, but the police are giving the impression there's a significant similarity in the state of the bodies. That's usually a clue that they suspect a serial killer and are keeping some details quiet to avoid inspiring a copycat, which can confuse an investigation.(Note - all above inside police knowledge based on Law & Order and associated franchises. CSI: Ipswich practices may vary.)You're pretty much right, John. Standard practice dictates that there are three reasons for witholding information: 1) The victims are under the age of 18 (Which they aren't) 2) Risk of inspiring copycats and 3) because the nature of the crimes is 'too grotesque for public consumption.' For example, if the bodies were found with parts missing, heavily mutilated, etc.None of the victims were sexually harmed according to ITV News, They think the perp or perps behind it are clearly full of anger at women in general, judging from profiles being given out by psychologists anyway.That's pretty much just more evidence it's a copycat. So they either haven't noticed (And with the state of the British police force, I wouldn't rule it out) or they're keeping it quiet to avoid causing any unnecessary alarm.Either way, as far as I can tell they have three weeks to catch the guy, or they've lost him to the wind.Come on, Ipswich CID, this one is easy.

Kandiman Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Detective Sprules on the case! It'd make a great TV show.Well, I'm clearly more qualified to deal with this than Ipswich CID. I'd have had him by now.This is what happens when one dpeartment in the British Police Force is supposed to investigate all types of crime - no specialisation.

Guest Dangerous Dave Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Surely they wouldn't go off with a stranger when they know other women have been killed?They do, becasue they need the money.It could be that they know the person (regular customer) and trust them.Well, I'm clearly more qualified to deal with this than Ipswich CID. I'd have had him by now.I would be curious to know if the Ipswich CID have ever put on a wrestling show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is if someone decides one day that he's going knock off 5 pro's in quick succession there really is fuck all you can do about it (without using the benefit of hindsight). Random murders within a specific social grouping are easily the most difficult to solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random murders within a specific social grouping are easily the most difficult to solve.He's following a pattern. I did my second year dissertation on famous serial killings. If you know the pattern, you know where he's hitting next. The trouble is, to be absolutely certain he is following the pattern I think he is, I'd need to see the evidence, autopsy photos, etc.An education is a wonderful thing. Espescially when you have it and others who don't think they know more than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful, or you might as well put on the flame-retardant armour now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
