Hi all,
I thought I'd write to Bret Christian and ask him about access to Archives regarding the security company used at the time of CSK, and anything else he could perhaps help us with. I've never met the man but just went on Post website and sent a private email. He seems like a really nice bloke.
Here's his reply below, sadly no archives for that period. And he'd really like to see a photo of the accused in his 20s, hey wouldn't we all! I told him the only place I reckon he'd be able to see one is in the family album!
"[FONT=&]Thanks for your note.[/FONT][FONT=&]Like you I had teenagers clubbing in Claremont at the crucial time, and we have all been deeply affected.[/FONT][FONT=&]The old Post archives are very hard to search before we digitised our records.[/FONT][FONT=&]However there were several security companies operating at the time - Claremont Council hired one in response to the public outcry, and Club Bay View also received a court order to upgrade their security presence on the streets of Claremont, not just at the club.[/FONT][FONT=&]Good luck with your sleuthing.[/FONT][FONT=&]Has anyone found a photo of E in his 20s? Id love to see it.[/FONT][FONT=&]
[/FONT][FONT=&]best wishes[/FONT][FONT=&]

Go lamp! Nice work. Yikes, he hasn't even seen a photo. That is sooooo strange.

Perhaps not so surprising, imo BRE has been active since he was a teenager. Criminals tend to avoid having their photo taken and running the risk of it appearing somewhere in the wider public sphere where they might be recognised.
Not as concerned, as he's puffed and sagged with age and only sees a glimpse of the face he wore when he was the Claremont serial killer.

It’s quite likely he avoided pics. Remember the comment by CG on Facebook where she was almost apologetic for tagging him on to a pic? Sounds like he liked to keep under the radar.

Where I used to work there was an employee who had been looking up very unsavoury material online, clearly suspected of being child abuse material as police got a warrant to search our workplace and his home simultaneously. One thing about him was he was in a fairly high profile position yet ran a mile and ducked for cover when photo opportunities arose.
I have to wonder how many girls recognised BRE not by his name when he was arrested, but by his pic when it was published, as a result of near misses many years beforehand.

You know Aroundthecorner I wonder how many more women would come forward if we had a nice young 20 something photo of BRE published in the MSM? The footy one gives us a better idea, but still might be hard to picture him when he was "in his prime". Notice he has his hand up kind of saying, no pictures please in the footy photo. He must have been SO confident though, if he is guilty that is, to be photographed later on receiving a public award and shaking the hand of Mr Ripper (a friend pointed out the irony there of that name, didn't even connect it with the old London serial killer of the same name?)
Yes I imagine it’s a bit of a trade-off - sometimes being TOO resistant to photos makes you look even more suspicious.

I think you're referring to a different Caporn from Timothy John Caporn, former bar manager of many of Perth's Pubs and Clubs.Boy Petedavo when you dig, you REALLY dig! Caporn, now there's a name I've heard before somewhere in relation to CSK, hmmm....

You're mind is probably reminding you of David John Caporn, former policeman, who became a fireman.
