The book says there "was definitely no mutilation, dismemberment"
It doesn't say there was definitely no sexual assault, only that there did not appear to be, "as far as they can tell".
I wondered about the DNA/rope thing too. You'd think rope would be loaded with DNA. Makes me think he used the plastic coated galvanised clothesline, nothing with an exposed weave. It would explain why it was being confused with phone cable too.
Regarding the lilies. The lilies where Jane's body was found were a completely different flower from the ones carried by the Mosman Park rapist. The lilies near Jane's body were white Arum Lilies, they are not native but tend to naturalize in places where there is damp/marshy ground. The Mosman...
Did the Karrakatta rapist stalk his victim though? He may have but he also may have laid in wait for a victim to pass by or it could have been purely opportunistic.
I have to disagree with your final point. A rapist and killer is likely to get off on things like power, control and violence. He...
It was probably released for a similar reason that photos are released, to identify the missing/victim to the public and to possibly jog someones memory. I think there is or was home movie footage of Ciara floating around out there too. Jane was dancing with the white haired man but I'm not sure...
re: The video of Jane.
There are two different men she interacts with. One is a balding, white haired man and the one she kisses on the cheek has dark hair. Even though you only see the dark haired man from the back, my impression was that he is an older man also. Jane is wearing the black...
I really think the Iona connection here is very much a coincidence. The CSK targeted women of a similar physical description in a specific area. This lady didn't match the general description and she wasn't in the area. There was also, iirc, around an 8yr gap in the ages between the CSK victims...
It's not that I think the steps they took weren't justified (tho the LW thing certainly didn't need to be the circus it turned into). It's that people already had tunnel vision so introducing new info to the public could only help combat that if anything. I do think they had the wrong people in...
Arrogance and incompetence? The tunnel vision thing is a bit of a joke considering how hard they went on LW. Or the heavy focus on taxis early on. I remember when they changed it so you could no longer hail a taxi in any of the entertainment districts, you had to get in line at one of the...
