From memory (because the copy is stored elsewhere) the woman (who blogged the details) gave the distinct impression the conversation if you can call it that, occurred on the footpath outside Club Bayview. I've got a strong gut feeling this guy went into the Club and perhaps the Continental Hotel and met these girls previously but then again would he do that because then his image would be printed onto their memory having spoken to him already. If he didn't first make contact inside the Club, then he has stalked them hasn't he. But then this raises the question about the girl being dragged from her vehicle at the Claremont Subway: was he waiting their on the off chance or did he know or or did he meet her inside the Club. Police should have covered that during their questioning of the girls. Given the sexual assault and rape victims also attended Club Bayview this seems to be the hotspot. I'll be posting more newspaper clips later today; one which contains the information from a Club staffer who stated to press that Jane had been seen inside the Club and this was very early on in the piece as well.
With the detail and dates I detailed yesterday re the sexual assaults, rapes, abductions, murders all the girls had been to the Club except Jane (?) and Ciara. The Continental was only mentioned in the press for Sarah, Jane and Ciara. Sarah we know was at the Club, Jane and her girlfriends apparently according to her female friend Lynda (CIA doc) walked to the Club but there was a queue so they decided not to wait, instead to go home with Jane changing her mind at the last minute. I still believe this (Jane's decision) was due to the passenger licensing requirements of 4 passengers only and her unselfish caring attitude towards her friends; and perhaps on the off chance she might meet that someone special. Her bodyl anguage tends to tell me she did not know MM as she did not alter her stance, move forward or unfold her arms; she presented him with a beaming open-mouthed welcoming smile. He would be good looking for her to respond the way she did. Ciara did not actually attend the Club (that we know of) but did she walk past the Club and then cut up Church Lane to the Stirling Highway? Witness accounts have her between Church Lane and Stirling Street/Queenslea Parade (same street but renamed to the south of Highway) and waling on eastbound (south) side of Stirling Highway towards Mosman Park (to her parent's home).
The woman had stated in the (now) removed blog that she had been interviewed 4 times by Macro. She had recognized Sarah but was this recognition prompted by media coverage or did she recognize her as a patron of the Club? I am reliably informed that police were made aware of the blog which raises the possibility or even probability they had taken steps to have the particular blog removed. There could be various reasons for doing so in particular she had what appeared to be her real name and coloured photo as her avatar and included her location. A search of the name and location tended to verify this blogger had not used a false name or location. There may have been concerns for her safety and rightly so. Now all I have to do is find the copy passed to me minus name and photo and location detail, supplied from a source which I cannot reveal.
I have lots if thought in response to your reply. Unfortunately, they aren't organized
It would be odd to offer someone a ride who was just walking by on the sidewalk. But the killer was odd, so he may not have understood this was not socially acceptable (meaning he was a psychopath who hadn't yet learned this would scare girls off). This doesn't put me ant closer to answering if he was in the club or not.
It is hard to determine how he found his victims:
1. Trolled around in his PV or cab or other vehicle. Waiting to see a defenseless girl on her own.
2. Went into clubs or bars and selected his victim. Followed them and attacked if he had the opportunity.
3. Parked or hid in a secluded spot, one that was on a path girls would likely travel at the end of the night. Then just wait for a good opportunity.
4. Knew the victims and stalked the beforehand.
5. Hung out at closing time, outside the bars and watched for victims. Once he found a target, he tried to head them off by running to his vehicle and meeting them down the road.
Regarding Jane staying in Claremont night, I don't know if we can speculate bc we may have misinformation. After rewatching the CIA, I don't think Lynda is being completely honest. I don't think she has any nefarious intent, but was some portion of her interview scripted? Actually, many of the statements in the docu seem...off.
