Australia Australia - Kylie Blackwood, 42, Pakenham, Vic, 1 Aug 2013

[IHAVENOCLUE]

I am also curious as to why the family members (Kylie's parents, husband, others) and close friends are not being more visible and/or vocal in requesting the capture of the perp...

I do respect their privacy, of course....

but I find the silence unusual when reviewing other similar cases...

I agree ... the silence is deafening. Both from the families, and from the police.

I hope something is actually happening in this investigation, and that it is not stalled.

No further requests from police for info, perhaps some locals are 'helping with the investigation'. There were comments in MSM that local crims were offering help.

Probably unrelated but a 20 year old woman was found dead in a home in Pakenham on Wednesday.

Apparently the 20 year was found dead at a house in Ahern Road. This is not very far away from where Kylie lived in McCaffery Rise.

Is anyone else thinking serial killer?

Thanks for the map Makara - not far away at all.

...and yes that awful thought did cross my mind

Hey Ausgirl,

Just wondering why the query whether the hubby handled rentals? Are you wondering about disgruntled ex-tenants? Or something else......?

Bit of both, Isis, ha.

I could see disgruntled tenants of a certain type going that far for revenge, mainly. That could be personal enough, for some.

Usually, my first thought when a wife is killed at home is 'hubby did it'. If so, should think there'd be people coming forward to say "Oh no, things were not quite right there" as that level of anger and sheer callousness is hard to hide on a daily basis. There'd be escalating arguments, relatives who knew there was strife, etc.

Saw there'd been another murder - though I think it might not be as obvious a murder as Kylie's? As the police were 'investigating' it as a suspicious death, which sounds more like blunt force or poisoning/drugs, something that might look accidental at first... ??

They're being VERY tight lipped about that one, though, No details at all that I can find.

 

[SouthAussie]

And they haven't released how Kylie died either, except that there was a lot of blood What is going on in Pakenham? Why all the secrecy over how these two women were killed?

The death of the 20 year old woman is now a homicide investigation.

The police do commence their investigation of a murder from the inside out, i.e. they investigate those closest to the victim and then it is an ever widening circle including ex-spouses, lovers, disruntled employees, employers and so on. The fact that there has been no recent plea from the police for further witnesses or information on Kylie's murder leads me to think that they have a suspect and are just getting all their ducks in a row before they make an arrest.

If in fact the 20 year old woman was murdered by the same perp, this will give the police even more evidence to work with. They are very quick at connecting the dots when it comes to homicide. Having said that, the murders may not be connected at all but I can imagine the women living in Pakenham would be terrified right now and I feel very sorry for them. But if residents are on high alert to what is going on around them, it can only be a good thing. There is an old police saying "the police are only as good as the local community."

It IS puzzling and unsettling to discover another in-house homicide... So close in location to Kylie's home...

:what:

Yes it is Cluesy. I'm thinking if the 20 year old's murder was due to a domestic dispute etc. the police would have the killer in custody by now or would certainly have a fair idea of who he/she is.

I wonder if similar "mysterious" hooded men will be caught on video, or have been seen by witnesses, around the 20 year old's house, too?

Still no name for the 20 year old found deceased in Packenham?

wonder how long she had been deceased?

Hi SouthAussie :seeya: One of the MSM articles about Kylie's death does describe her as being stabbed in the chest, hands and face I think......I don't have the time to find which one right now though. The same one that has the neighbour finding her sitting up on the lounge I think.........

Just a thought I had as I read that paragraph Ausgirl - I don't necessarily know that neighbours would have known. Yes, argument would have escalated but some men are able to control themselves for their public image - may have ensured the 'arguments' didn't get wildly loud etc. Controlling men can be very cool with their anger, rather than explosive.........quiet threats etc. (Not saying this about Kylie's husband, by the way, as he's been cleared - just talking about a 'type').

But yes, family and close friends would have known you'd think. Unless the wife wasn't the type who discussed really personal stuff with people and kept the big stuff to herself, had more social relationships. (Again, not saying this was Kylie, just speculating in general!)

JMO :twocents:

That's my recollection too.

Speaking of controlling men (your next post), have you checked out the thread for Lisa Harnum who was allegedly thrown from her Sydney apartment by her abusive fiancé? Sad and extreme case of domestic abuse.

Sadly, I have Brightbird.

I was actually thinking of him when I wrote what I just did.

So cold.......he is chilling. And I bet he had a slick mask going on in his daily life - and super charming in the beginning, I'll wager!!

Am struggling with even reading that thread - it is just so distressing. Such a vulnerable woman, such a cruel man......truly tragic.

My feelings exactly. Truly horrifying and heartbreaking. Yes, it conjures up difficult emotions just to read about.

Hi there :seeya: Just so you don't think I'm completely off my rocker (which is still debatable nonetheless ), I did see the original articles stating Kylie was 'stabbed to death' - though none attributed that directly to police statements, if I recall correctly.

And this statement (from 12th October article) continuously sticks in my mind .....

"POLICE have never revealed publicly how Kylie Blackwood died."

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/la...other8217s-death/story-fni0ffnk-1226738956486


So, I guess I'm wondering if Kylie was actually stabbed to death. Or did she die some other way (strangulation perhaps?) and the blood came from horrible slashing and other wounds carried out in a vindictive manner .. wounds that didn't actually kill her?

I have also noticed that the language in MSM has been toned down now to just say 'murdered' as opposed to 'stabbed to death'. So maybe the MSM assumptions have changed, or been corrected by police?

(Just analysing every word .. as usual )
