Why do people think it will be a legal aid lawyer representing the alleged perp? My guess is that with a high profile case like this, lawyers would be clammering to get their names in lights. I could be wrong of course!
Also, do people agree with my theory that everything took place in the alleged perp's car? I'm just going with my gut here and reports that even seasoned journalists were physically ill when they were briefed off the record by Vic police on the crime. If it was that awful, I'm guessing he couldn't do that on the street when there was a possibility of people walking by. He would need to be hidden from view. Also, there have been no reports of an obvious crime scene. The car seems the obvious place. If so, it would be literally littered with DNA evidence.
Having said all this, I'm wondering what happened to make this escalate into murder. I can't believe I'm saying this but my understanding is that one of the reason many rapes are not reported is that women don't believe that they will be believed and/or they themselves are treated like the criminal. Knowing this, wouldn't a perp just assume he'd get away with the rape & leave it there? I know the alleged perp is a sexual predator and has been caught for rape before - but I am assuming there were many more rapes he committed where he wasn't caught? What snapped in him to progress this to murder?
I do believe everything took place in the car.
What the reporters heard may not involve a crime scene as such.
Serial "anythings" often start out with less awful crimes and build up to a horrendous act. Serial killers often have a history of harming cats or dogs early in their lives. we may never know why this time, we may, at a later date find that others that he raped did feel like they were going to die though.
His DNA would be recorded from previous crimes wouldn't it? (sorry not trying to be smart but I am an aussie living in America and have covered courts in both countries and the laws mesh at times lol)
The smallest and oddest thing can make a person snap. I remember a mother over here that killed her kids for talking back. The woman had a history of mental illness and she snapped at a bit of lip from teenagers.
