Does anyone know if the ob girls were found with shoes or not? I keep reading conflicting storys about this.
The fact they were all laid in a row right to left kind of raises a red flag to me. At the same time who is to say that maybe it's not a copy cat if this info was public before ob girls were killed.
Okay, forget that rwo thing, it's not correct. And if you look at the order, in which the victim were placed (the dynamic, how the dump site grew) it's easy to see, what formed the pattern:
In the case of the LISK, it was the road, obviously. He dropped the first, then, 2 years later, the second left of the first. Then another years later the third to the right of the first and then, some months later, the Amber on the outer left. That is more concentric circles crossed by the road in a left hand pattern.
The AC bodies were placed in different trenches, just some kind of from the left to the right. There is no enforcing cross line, the pattern is right-handed and linear.
And since we are about it, lets talk other differences and similarities:
1.) The optical similarity between the victims
Measure the cheeks, the eye positions and so on, and there is rudimentary similarity at best. The bone structures weren't also changed by the poll, so we can forget that part.
2.) LISK took 2 years between the first victims, then a year, another year, half a year. That is what I would consider a pretty normal kill curve.
AC on the other hand killed four in like eight weeks. This was fast, driven. His average kill speed was about factor 100 higher than LISK's. Now, after comparing the kill curves of a lot of SK cases, I think, those kill speed functions are as individual as fingerprints in a way. Which, IMO, means, that can't be the same guy.
3.) COD, as far as mentioned in the media was asphyxiation or strangulation. Which is the way, about half of all power/control-oriented SKs go. We have 11 more strangled in Albuquerque, are they connected because they were strangled? Or the murders committed by Mary and Norma Bell were connected because they strangled her victims too? To say, they are connected because they were, in an arbitrary way strangled or asphyxiated, is like saying, they were connected because they were all females. Which doesn't make sense because most SK victims are females and children anyway.
4.) LISK wrapped his victims in burlap. As it looks to me, without clothes, at least, I can't see in any of the few crime scene photos in the media any remains of cloths, while there were remains of the burlap visible. So, pure pragmatism.
The AC victims were dressed but without shoes. They were all staged face-down, looking to the East. This indicates a stronger ritualistic aspect in the AC murders that is entirely missing in the GB4 cases.
So, except for some things, LISK and AC share with hundreds of other serial killers in the worldwide history of serial killing, AC and LISK are pretty much opposites.
