Is there any part of the country, or indeed the world, where we don't need to check out this man?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Something happened in Central Australia during his visit, in my opinion.
Wish we knew exactly where he went there.

 

[Kemug]

I suppose if this ends up where we all think it might, ie a serial killer finally caught, you could say that Carol and Russell didn't die in vain.

I wonder if he went alone, or with Melanie. I am afraid that poor lady will be facing many interviews.

I did wonder if she really is the supportive wife, or a victim playing her part just in case GL did walk a free man JMO

Good point

 

[mam544]

Cognitive dissonance would be very likely, it would be very difficult to reconcile ‘man she loves (assuming) and is married to’ with ‘her husband is the man who has killed two people and his actions in covering it up’.

She and the children are also victims of Lynn's actions. I hope they are each receiving counselling.

Apparently he only killed one, the other one is just dead.

But Greg said...

so he claimed. Unfortunately we will never know for certain because he destroyed all the evidence that could have cleared him if it all went down the way he claimed.

Destroying evidence that would prove one’s innocence makes no sense, so I’m not buying his story.

Animal abuse, arson and bed wetting in childhood.

That's known as The MacDonald triad. Reviewed here:

The MacDonald triad posits that animal cruelty, fire setting, and bed wetting in childhood is indicative of later aggressive and violent behavior in adults. Researchers refer to this phenomenon as a precursor to later antisocial behaviors including serial and sexual murder; while practitioners cite the triad in clinical formulations and risk assessments. However, there is yet to be a critical review and consolidation of the literature that establishes whether there is empirical support.

This article explores the validity of the triad. We conducted a narrative review of the relevant studies examining the MacDonald triad and its individual constituents. There is evidence that any one of the triad behaviors could predict future violent offending, but it is very rare to find all three behaviors together as predictors. Thus, the empirical research on the MacDonald triad does not fully substantiate its premise. Rather, it would appear that the triad, or its individual constituents, is better used as an indicator of dysfunctional home environments, or poor coping skills in children.

What area is included in "Central Australia"

Central Australia - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Central Australia, also sometimes referred to as the Red Centre, is an inexactly defined region associated with the geographic centre of Australia. In its narrowest sense it describes a region that is limited to the town of Alice Springs and its immediate surrounds including the MacDonnell Ranges. Commonly, it refers to an area up to 600 km (370 mi) from Alice Springs, in every direction. In its broadest use it can include almost any region in inland Australia that has remained relatively undeveloped, and in this sense is synonymous with the term Outback.

In a modern, more formal sense it can refer to the administrative region used by the Northern Territory government, as of 2022.

Replying to myself - which might possibly be some comfort to their families.

The 60 Minutes episode from Sunday is now up on YouTube. For those who may want to watch it. It is just 14½ minutes long.

Feels off ‘liking’ anything with that man’s face on it..but it was an interesting segment however brief.

Though it does have Murderer appropriately emblazoned across it.

Thanks JB absolutely fascinating I would love to know his childhood background.

maybe she has some bees to let out of the hive

If Melanie has read about the Viergevers, I bet she has a swarm of bees in her bonnet, killer bees. I can't begin to imagine what's running through her head right now but this latest news must be devastating.

Interestingly DSM-5 does not define psychopathy as a disorder. It’s somewhat brought under the banner of Anti-Social Personality Disorder (ASPD).

But from afar Lynn seems to check some of those boxes.
