Murder of Deborah Linsley - Wikipedia

The attacker had dirty blonde hair and had killed before. I know its 1988, however 13 years isn't that long.

Meant to come back with some organization and clarity, lol!Are the discussions/posts over the last few pages primarily focused on an effort to find similar murder cases in the area/time period?? It seems DNA testing of evidence in these other cases would have ruled-in/out the same person who killed Eve and Lynne. Or even ruled Sutcliffe in or out as the killer in the other cases? What am I missing? Maybe I'm just lost (wouldn't be the first time, lol)

There was a case that received a lot of attention where the attacker was called Penguin man in the media, because of how he walked. I think late 70s or early 80s. A quick search hasn’t brought anything up, but I will look deeper for that.Register | British Newspaper Archive

Described as 15 years old in this piece, Michelle calls the man who attacked her "ugly man" I really need to find more on this man as he is also referred to as the penguin, this would also fit in with the man seen walking behind Eve Stratford with the odd walk and standing outside her flat around the time the attacker was said to leave.
Eve Stratford and Michelle Booth were both attacked on March 18th 3 years apart.
We are looking at other possible victims that appear linked and there fore murdered by the same person who killed Eve and Lynne, Sutcliffe as often stated in posts while discussing this, didn't kill them or he would have been matched his on file DNA. Many of these people have been considered as being victims of PS without proof, including the victims of the unknown killer of Eve and Lynne and I think that is his only contribution here.Are the discussions/posts over the last few pages primarily focused on an effort to find similar murder cases in the area/time period??

Sorry I missed the notification of your response earlier. That's interesting to know, about diabetes. When Ì met my husband I thought he smelt like uncooked croissants, a sweet, fresh smell. As he got older his reminded me of raw meat, quite a difference. Odd.
We mentioned foot fetish before, many of these ladies had their footwear removed.
It says on the link that DNA exists for the case, which means her murder cannot be linked, it would have been compared on the database and ruled out.Thanks for the link, just started a thread..

I probably should have directed my reply at Pinkissy who posted the article, I was reading through the thread backwards
If DNA is added to the database I believe it's automatically compared against everything else on there. Fred West's DNA would have been on file when they added Eve's + Lynne's murderer's DNA and discovered the same person killed them both.

Lynda's killers DNA was apparently found on stored evidence from her murder and compared against the DNA of Eve and Lynne's mutual murderer, it didn't match so we have to rule Lynda out as having been killed by the same person. Source below, I bought the magazine to get the info since I couldn't find it online except in Wikipedia which cited The Sunday Times. Eve and Lynne's cases were reviewed in 2008 and that's when they discovered their murderer was one and the same, then because there was no DNA on file for Lynda, she wasn't raped, but it was thought her murder so similar to Eve's that she should be checked, they tested saved evidence. Police and more have stated how rare the style of killing of Lynda and Eve, plus living so near to each other and killed within 5 years if each other, to have different killers is amazing.
Yes but you know now since I got that magazine, that they were killed by different people. Plus with Lynda there is no way there was more than one perp as there is only one set of footprints going to and from her house.
It may be less that nobody considered it, but that until the advent of PCR it wasn't considered sensible to use consumptive (destructive) tests that may not reveal anything. By waiting, they have made a prudent choice. Far, far less material is required these days to get a profile, and profiles can be developed from degraded or mixed samples that wouldn't have been attempted a couple of decades ago.Murders of Eve Stratford and Lynne Weedon - Wikipedia

I checked out the source if info, it's clearer than the wikipedia entry. It explains why there are loads of pieces online saying there was no DNA, it's because there wasn't any until they tested scene evidence again, back in the 1970s the knowledge of forensics was very basic and they only took obvious samples of semen, saliva or blood to test for blood group. They didn't even have the same sophisticated levels of finding and removing those samples. Forensics are always improving and while cold cases are supposed to always be reviewed, nobody it seems had considered testing her stored evidence between the 1970s and 2000s.
