Math can be a damn sucker. Because like in every area of expertise, it is garnished with $60 words to hide that things are quite easy. Bottom line is, if the number of missing persons in a group suddenly spikes by 25% or more, something is foul and someone should look for the reason. 10% more...

A little bit of math, maybe you get the gist then: When Corll and his helpers were busy in Houston, the number of persons who went missing in the area didn't raise by any significant number. But the number of missing males 10-15 and 15-20 almost doubled. So the delta per victim group in one...

But the relevant point is, PDs need first better technologies and methods to recognize an SK is working in their area. Because if they know, they have one at thier hands, they can still call people who know SKs, but if they have no idea there is one, they can't do a thing and they can't call...

Can be, I'm not an especially empathic personality myself. But before someone misunderstands that, I am not a psychopath. Only impatient when it comes to run in circles. Thanks for that! Pretty easy, there's a multitude of reasons. Some have low self-esteem and try to boost it by...

Sounds more Hampton-ish ...

I doubt that, simply for a mathematical reason. The motives for murder are many and even more for crime in general. The usual detective has to focus on the common crimes. But guys like LISK or, at that, most other SKs are so off the normal scope and in general so rare, that they are out of the...

DeLong earned her spurs with the Kasczinski case aka the Unabomber. Has some other SK cases with lower profile. All profiles, I have ever seen from her were right on the head, but she hates (obviously) to work with incomplete information as most of us outsiders have to do in the first place. And...

The oldest case I remember, some authorities tried that happened in Athens, about 560 B.C. Pindar wrote something. Didn't work already back then.

Oh well, we talk Cleveland/OH here. They told for like ten years there is no connection between some reports of missing prostitutes ... till they found all bodies together on Anthony Sowell's place.

Well, I was the only one who got an answer post about an opinion ... in a poll. But about Jesus and the Michael ... sorry, but we used up all possible examples for impossibilities in theories already, I just ran out of examples. And then I even botched it, because at least for Jesus some...

Try Clint van Zandt? Seems, he is not so worried about his public reputation despite the fact, he runs an own firm in this business.

Okay, that we get that right: There is a poll. everyone can say his opinion. The only thing different I did, was mentioning the bloody truth. Which is reason enough to jump me, Hawkshaw. Lets face it, none, not one of the East Coast PDs has made even one good hit against even one SK unless it...

I wrote, almost two and a half years ago a profile. The few things that happened in the meantime didn't damage the profile or, in some little details, supported it with additional information in the victimology. Problem is, I sketched out also at least one possible way to get the guy. That was 2...

I usually calculated two minutes (unless 1 time, for the MP time line issue discussion). GC should be on record as kind of a gatekeeper for OB. And then, dispatch should have been already aware, something was going on at OB and that the person in the center wasn't GC but a girl running around in...

They can't keep someone on the line if said someone has to let someone in through a gate. And they let someone go who says "oh, and there comes a black car and she is running" And about BB and walking her dog, I took that as a real possibility, which, opposite to other possibilities, what she...
