Australia Claremont Serial Killer, 1996-1997, Perth, Western Australia - #8 ARREST*

[Froglady]

I was reading a google forum from 1997/8 last night. Am I allowed to post the link to it? It had a lot of news reports from at the time and a few email adresses from I think edu or uwa? Couple of interesting comments in there.

Potential BE event between 90-92 within 10 km's of Huntingdale. Twice Police were apathetic and directed me toward FOI application. Is there a way for me bypass the police drones in reporting this? Crimestoppers looks like the only other avenue.

I would ring crime stoppers again. At least it would be a weight off your mind

I'm not sure he did have a 100% success rate. A couple of women around that period escaped from taxi drivers who were trying to attack them (although,these of course could be different people responsible for those attacks)
I'm sure some people just passed it off as a nice friendly man offering them a lift so they'd be "safe" if he was offering lifts. Plus they were probably a bit intoxicated and may have been a bit vague on the details of his face and car the next day to report anything about the encounter.
There are great theories for both blitz,fake taxi and him simply asking if they want a lift.
He may have even worked around these girls or at universities at some point or just seen them out on other occasions and they may have felt safe to accept a lift from him due to his familiarity.

I used to catch night bus Stg Hwy late '70s - offered lifts couple of times but couldn't describe cars or drivers after. Just stood well back!

IF this guy has moved around a bit with his work at times one would assume the police are looking at his employment records to see if there are any events elsewhere.

You would like to think so but so far I have heard no reports of this other house BE lived in being searched by the police and considering the blunders over the years it is safe not to assume anything with WAPOL, this is not to say that there would not be some good people working there but their reputation for solving high profile murders correctly is not good.

Is anyone interested ?
Or is this a group who believes corruption doesn't exist ? He was talking abouta cd aswell with every wa police officers address on it

Yep and people still offer people lifts to this day, indeed i suspect a lot of good, innocent people would have stopped and warned a girl walking by herself near claremont, even potentially offered her a lift.

As children it is drummed into us to NEVER get in a car with a stranger!

Several years ago, I was walking home from doing some grocery shopping, locally, a hot Summer's day and some "kind" person (a female) stopped to ask whether I needed a lift. I, automatically, said "No, thanks". :snooty: Old habits, die hard.

The spanner in the works in the Claremont case is that people knew there was a predator prowling for victims in claremont, it was not safe to be on the streets, so if someone they trusted(for whatever reason) offered them a lift it makes complete sense to get off the road. Indeed this guy might have said, you can't be walking around by yourself it not safe here there is girls going missing etc.

If I was a girl at the time you would not get me close to Claremont CBD at night by myself, if you were there you'd either have to be pretty confident or naive.

In terms of Claremont at night it is hardly the seedy dark place some are making out, for the most part it was very well lit and there were drunk people everywhere. You only need to look at the map with all the markers of everyone in Claremont that night to see how many people were there.

I do wonder if this guy was doing bog laps around Gugeri/Stirling road/Stirling highway and either Leura avenue or potentially bayview terrace though post camera installation I doubt he would have been using Bayview BUT cops should be reviewing footage now looking for cars this BE may have been using.

I used to be paranoid if girls wanted to walk off by themselves in Claremont or surrounds after CSK, but it still happened and literally guys would have to stop some of these girls physically or go chasing after them to prevent them being alone, it certainly seemed to me like the guys were much more conscious of CSK than the girls I knew in Claremont.

What evidence, even circumstantial do you have to support corruption in this case?
All the other miscarriages of justice involved people being found guilty without DNA evidence, that is not the case in this instance and I do not know of a case in WA where DNA has been tampered with.

Hi Ive read back a lot on this thread and I saw a mention on fb of the victim in huntingdale I think it was...it appears that she completed suicide...her last fb post was sept this year which I wonder if it coincides with her case being reopened. Im not sure if Im allowed to share in her her name.

 

[hateyrgutsloveyrface]

This is natural progression of a serial killer, the act of abduction psychological and/or physical torture and then murder ARE the sexual pleasure. if the 3 girls were raped then he is a sexual pervert whom progressed to lust killing

Now if he did not rape the girls then that to me suggests there would be a lot more victims out their because you don't progress from break in and attempted rape to successful rape to murder without rape that fast.

I don't think that BE was a lust killer or a torturer. Lust killers tend to mutilate their victims pre and post-mortem. Dahmer was a lust killer. BE was a rapist who progressed to killing as a means of furthering his control over the victims OR he wanted to reveal his face to his victims, revel in their fear and disgust and then murdered them as a way of covering up his crimes. I think it was more the former than the latter.

What leads you to think she committed suicide?

Here is another thought that may explain why the attacks seemed to stop in the Claremont area?

After all the publicity about the disappearances in Claremont and the release of information regarding the recorded taxi call by SS and other tech being implemented in the area ie: cameras and possible other covert stuff, is it possible in his capacity as a Telstra tech that he was called in by WAPOL as part of the investigation to install stuff? They may have asked Telstra for assistance to bug? phones or tap? in to exchanges as part of their processes. If he was familiar with the Claremont exchanges etc then he may well have inadvertently known about some of the less public aspects of the investigation?

 

[JoeDetective]

Two nice lakes within a block or so of his current home would be a very comfortable place to dump something if he knew the cops were on to him. I suppose without any evidence that he went there, there is no point searching.

Cops should be going over his cell phone with a fine tooth comb and tracing everywhere he has been for as long as technologically possible.

Still, do not understand why the other house he lived in has not been searched yet.

I'm interested in what you have to say but you need to explain more of what your talking about.

So I had to contact WAPOL to find out if I was breaking any laws before I posted this but I can confirm that Brad worked at UWA on and off as a telstra tech for a couple of years fixing faults, programming etc. He was only there for a week or two at a time while the regular guy was on leave and he was one of several that worked there intermittently.

I actually typed up my thoughts on the CSK back on the BF forums and on here during the day at work with Brad sitting directly opposite me. I made him a cup of tea as I often did for the people in that office. He's quite a big bloke, and wore his hat inside (don't know why I remember that) People have been asking me since he was arrested if he ever gave off a creepy vibe or if there was anything "off" about him. I remember not liking him at first because he comes across as aloof but over time whenever he was back for another stint in that office he warmed up enough for us to say hi and greet each other by name around campus.

I don't know if he worked there in the 90's when the girls went missing. I don't know if he studied there either. I do remember mentioning two attacks in Nedlands in the last 3-4 years. One on Caporn St I think, where someone tried to grab a girl off the street and i walked past while the detectives were knocking on doors asking if anyone had seen anything, and the poor girl from IGA on Broadway who was stabbed in the back while walking home. That one always frightened me, and is why I don't listen to my headphones while walking at night anymore.

It will probably come out in the next week or so that he worked at UWA, so just remember: You heard it on Websleuths first
I'm happy to answer any questions if I can.

Wow this is nuts. I have a feeling BE must have lurked here or on the Big Footy forum posts. I doubt he would have posted.
Found out today that one of my mum's friends knew him through Belmont Little Athletic Club. He was also described as aloof by her.

Well when you have guns pointed at your head and the man is trying to show you paper work talking about crown witnesses and so forth and your missus receives a call from a private number asking where you are ..so explain it to me . I dont think the case is as clean cut as the police and politicians aren't telling the truth. Civil libiterians what's that ? Don't like the crown ?
as for dna I don't think BE will last that long like a pawn in Carl Williams situation inmho

So can we clear up if this did or did not happen with CG?? at this location.

I don't think the matter can be cleared up at this point. It's been discussed dozens (possibly hundreds) of times on WS threads alone.

Until new information is released, I don't think we can say with certainty that it happened. I am torn because I believe Frankie72 is being truthful. There might be an additional aspect that we don't yet know.

Even if it did happen we don't know that CG willingly got into this vehicle. All MO, of course.

Do you have any evidence to support your claims? WAPOL is very corrupt (it is known,) but your statments about getting private calls, cops messing with DNA and BE being a scapegoat just seem like nonsensical ramblings, I'm sorry.

...the reason why I ask is I was told a bunch of information by a fellow that implicated himself Pw and sr , it's was delivered at a very turbulent time in my life , he suggested to me that he lived in Mandurah in a house provided by Pw . claimed that the victims were bunt *advertiser censored* that would do anything for drugs confirmed that sr had a taxi ect all while his 16 year old son egged him on in the back ground , he spoke of other things at the time , laughed about milat ect , son was a present at this time , this guys done 25 years in prison 25 out .this guy was showing me police documents talking about crown witnesses ect ...

Snipped.

Referring to three murdered women as 'bunt *advertiser censored*', even as a secondhand reference, is uncalled for.

The theory your acquaintance relayed sounds like nonsense. IMO.
