Re what you wrote: "Another interesting point is the the fact that the offender traveled south and then EAST with JR, but North and then WEST with CG."
That's how it appears after the fact, but we don't know that for a fact -- the killer may have accessed the disposal sites from any direction. Eg he may have lived south of the JR site, taken JR to his residence then to the disposal site. Same with CG - he may have lived north of her disposal site at the time she was taken to the disposal site. If the killer lived in a set location at the time of JR and CG murders ie adjacent to the ocean eg Cottesloe that would mean he had traveled north-west and south-east.
The Claremont area was also an area that young 'hip' people gravitated to in order to socialize. The scene in Fremantle at the time comprised of a heavy tourist base and left-over hippie and artistic types, Subiaco had a totally different 'vibe' to Claremont -- with a more settled population attending the nightlife spots. Claremont was the place to go to 'to be seen'.
Interesting (to me) is that when LW was interviewed by press and in particular the Allison Fan interview, and the snipped interview in the 2015 Sunday Night (Ferguson / Bayens) doco, he clearly indicated he was following girls in Claremont because of his 'concern for them after what had gone on for a few years'. He gave zero explanation as to why his compulsive driving loop included the street workers' area adjacent to Northbridge. No journo, as far as I have been able to find, has ever questioned him about that and the stalking of the Claremont prostitute back to her parent's house and from a press report that appears to have occurred in December 1995 which btw is when he moved into his own unit.
Hey Mordekai and Parkie - you have both said you were persons of interest (with regard to Claremont); and you both say that police have cleared you. Did they put this 'clearing' in writing ?
The only 'evidence' we have about LW being cleared, is the Postnewspaper's owner / editor's articles that morphed after the Terry Dobson (6PR) interview. The police via the CIA doco with WA police representative Byleveld saying police had 'started fresh'. This does not mean they had cleared anyone. We have to look very closely at the timeline relative to the new forensic work in the leadup to the airing of the doc, and the reviews they were doing at that time.; and I consider it shows that WA police started over with their forensics.
I think what has occurred is the press / media have made a quantum leap into the quagmire of the still 'unknown'; beating up public readership figures. Look at Postnewspaper's massive readership / circulation increases detailed on the front page of their online site. Circulation / readership increases like these mean more huge bucks in the bank for the owner of that newspaper. Same goes with all the other newspaper sites.
WA police would never come out publicly and announce a suspect, or persons of interest are cleared for a very valid reason; and that being that if they did so, and it was later to turn out the suspect or poi was (somehow) involved perhaps as an accomplice -- heads would roll from the bottom to the top.
Interesting to note that non of this week's press coverage has included the slightest hint about DNA, 1995 rape and CG link, or the clearing of the main suspect.
