Re: Sarah Spiers missing 26 January 1996 from Claremont, Perth, Western Australia
There is some interesting comments on that blog Hayalet (granted they were posted in 2006) ... particularly this one:

i am the mother of SALLY ANNE BOWMAN, my 18year old daughter was murdered on 25th september 2005. she was brutally stabbed to death and sexually assaulted. i keep reading about the clairmont murders in perth western australia, but to my knowledge no! D.N.A. has been requested from london on mark dixie, alias shane turner from the australian police, i wish it had so the families in australia of these younge girls who have been murdered there can maybe have some closure if the D.N.A. is a match. The parents in australia need to push this matter with the Australian police A.S.A.P.
I'll have to do some digging, I can't recall whether Mark Dixie was ever officially ruled out by the W.A Police as a suspect with DNA evidence. You would certainly hope that the DNA was in fact requested and tested. I do, however, recall investigators in the U.K stating that if Dixie was responsible for any other heinous crimes, it would almost certainly have been in Australia.
You know, Mark Dixie certainly has a striking resemblance to the unidentified man seen interacting with Jane Rimmer on the CCTV footage.
For what it is worth, he also resembles somewhat the identikit released by a group of psychics at a show held in Perth at the end of September 2009, called the "Psychic Taskforce", where they discussed aspect of the Claremont cases and offered "psychic insights" into the crimes.
That show was controversial and slammed by both the public and police alike, as self-proclaimed psychics inserting themselves into the investigation have reportedly been disseminating misleading information and causing a great deal of distress to Sarah Spier's family since Sarah disappeared.
See news article here:

Still, it is interesting to note the similarities in their identikit to Dixie.
This is the identikit:
This is the e-mail that was circulated around regarding the Psychic Taskforce show that was posted on some other public forum. I hesitate in posting it here because the details contained in it are essentially purely speculation and could well be completely misleading, but it makes for interesting reading nonetheless. Please take it with a grain of salt.
This is from the Pyschic Taskforce show in Perth at end of September with Scott Russell Hill, Deb Malone & Anthony Grzelka – makes interesting reading
I have just seen the most amazing show.... and have just seen the face of the Claremont serial killer – if he crosses my path I will know him in a heartbeat!!
The show was by 3 psychics who have done an AMAZING investigation into the Claremont killings. And the information was too incredible not to pass on ..... oh and by the way – he is planning on striking again very soon so make sure you let as many females know this info as soon as you can.
So.... the killer is about 35 years old now, possibly as old as 40. He has been killing for quite some time – the Claremont girls were not his only victims. In fact if you remember Julie Cutler and Hayley Dodd then you will already know he was operating well before Claremont. The psychics know where Sarah is located but it is going to be difficult to get her remains as they are underneath limestone in Henderson. This area was redeveloped very soon after he hid her body there – in fact he knew this would happen as he works in the area. As for his work he is involved with Trucks, mechanics and guess what... there is a serious RAC link to this man. In fact the psychics know who he is – they know his full name, they know his work history and they know the colour and make of car he used when he took Sarah. And they can link all of these things to the person they have identified. The information is now sitting in the hands of the Police... it will be interesting to see what happens.
So things of interest – this man is not a taxi driver, he actually drove a blue Ford Falcon (can’t remember the exact model as I am hopeless with car *****!!) and he definitely knew Sarah – that is why she got into his car. He was a casual friend of one of Sarahs’ friends – that is why she trusted him despite not knowing him really well. The psychics also have the name of this friend and they can use this to verify the information to the Police. He is very clever, cold and calculating – everything was well planned and he went out knowing exactly what he was going to do and how he would make it happen. He had a plan.
The really important thing that has been uncovered is that Sarah was not the girl sighted at the phone box on Stirling highway – this is really crucial as the Police have been looking in totally the wrong direction. Basically there are witnesses out there who saw some really significant stuff that night but discounted what they saw because it didn’t fit with Sarah being at that phone box at that time. So rather than report what they saw to the police – they believed their info was not relevant because the Police had Sarah pinned to a position where she never went. She was actually taken from a car park behind Club Bayview – as was the case with Jane and Ciara. This guy picked these girls because of their hair – and he has kept their hair as trophies. He interacted with these girls before taking them AND YES he is the man on the CCTV vision that has just recently been released – and yes he was talking to Jane on that footage.
I had a really good look at an identikit picture of this man. He is of Mediterranean or Italian background. He has dark hair and dark eyes. I felt absolutely sick when I looked at him and as I stared at his picture I could feel the rage and anger and hate – to the point where I saw his face change to what it would have looked like when he committed these crimes. It was really scary. He is driven by compulsion and he will not stop. So you may ask why has he gone so quiet? Well he has other victims buried very close to Sarah. They were taken before Sarah. But he has in the meantime gotten married and had children. The psychics believe as a result he switched his victims to prostitutes who could disappear without any fanfare. They all agree that his man wants to be famous, he wants his work to be known. He hid Sarah very carefully but was disappointed she was not quickly discovered – hence he made no effort to hide Jane and Ciara – it was important to him that they would be found. He is a south of the river person with links to Freo, Kwinana and Henderson and he has a brother, sister and also 2 children of his own. They also believe his compulsion is going to cause him to strike again – and it won’t be the prostitutes he will be going after. They are hoping if enough people start talking about all this info and if they can get his picture spread around enough it might make him think twice about doing this again. More than anything they are just hoping the Police will act on their information.
Whilst they were careful not to describe anything too graphic to us about what he did to the girls – he did some pretty bad ***** to them – and it involved a ritual that had “surgical aspects†this was important to him, he did it to all the bodies. And the violence escalated with each girl. Sarah was still alive when he took her to Henderson – she actually tried to make a run for it when they got there – but to no avail. He is driven by issues with his mother – whilst she did not physically harm him, she put him down a lot and he suffered mentally at her hands. She did this because of issues with his father. He has an inferiority complex and this is why he goes after the high class girls – when they reject his offers they are signing their own death certificates.
Personally – I have no doubt that Sarah is talking from beyond the grave and she has tried to make her efforts known by linking in to high profile media personalities like Scott Russell Hill. She has timed it to coincide with all the latest hype about Claremont – particularly with the release of that footage not so long ago. I am sure she is telling us there is going to be a lot more bad stuff going down unless they solve this mystery and get this guy locked away. Even if you have no belief in psychics and what they can do – at least tell your daughters to be on their guard and give them as much info as you can – it won’t hurt to have this knowledge. I think these psychics have absolutely nailed this case – they have really detailed information and it will be easy for the Police to validate if it is real or not. Lets hope with a new approach and a bit of help from the other side that this case can be shut – for once and for all.
Not wanting to change this email, I have made some notes of discrepancies & inclusions. It was a full on day with a lot of information to intake.
1- Sarah was not taken from behind club bayview. This is where he was parked and saw Sarah initially (also his 'stalking ground'). He offered her a lift there and she said she was ok.. She then walked off down Bay View Terrace and fumbled through her bag for keys - think about when you do it- she got a bit frustrated and made a slight scene that someone would have seen. This was in front of a Cafe (now offices). Someone would have seen but not said anything because at the time the police said she was somewhere else! He pulled up to her here and she got in there!! She's told Scott Russell Hill 'I wasn't supposed to get in the car' but she did, but it wasn't an obvious struggle, cos she knew him.. He then drove her to down towards Peppermint Grove, where she was going to stay with friends, but then he struck.
2- The psychics, although drawn to the site at Henderson do not necessarily believe she is there but one of the bodies of his other victims are. He did take her there though! They were also drawn to the area as they believe his has strong connections to the place- he either by work or his home. He also has connection to Limestone - crushed Limestone! His route to this destination was straight down Cockburn Road (you could travel from Freo straight to Kwinana at this time).
3- A group of guys, likely from the South Freo Football club where out that night, drunk & mucking around, and one of these boys did an army roll over a car - This was his car!
4- He likes to drive long distances (the Hayley Dodd connection)
5- The car was done up, lowered body kit etc. So he's into his cars. He is also into racing/speedway (hence the Kwinana/Henderson connections as well)..
6- He is good looking, but extremely violent. He would be violent to his wife & kids - hence the family break-up which is about to happen, this divorce/seperation will give him the freedom to re-commence his killings!!
7- We were not told about the RAC connection at our show.
