The Post says this:
Two new clues to the Claremont serial killer have been uncovered. The man who terrorised the western suburbs in the mid- 1990s drove a white mid-1990s Holden Commodore VS Series 1, most likely a station wagon, to abduct and murder at least two of his victims. The killer also has some link to screen-printing, the manual process of printing coloured words and patterns on fabric such as T-shirts and other clothing.
"At least two victms". Does this mean they have collected car fibers from CG and JR? The article only talks about JR. Or are they just going off the fact that CG was least seen talking to the driver of a white holden commodore station wagon?
Also - not sure it matters whether it was rope or clothesline. What matters is how the screen printing material got on there. How does that happen? From hanging freshly screen printed clothes on a clothesline/rope used as clothesline? That part confuses me.
CSK must have stopped because he realised he had been spotted talking to CG. And maybe he also became aware that he could be leaving DNA on victims (he obviously was too stupid to be aware of it earlier). Sounds like he realised too late though anyway.
Methodical - no
Smart - no
Professional - no
He got spotted by witnesses. Total dunce.
It looks like the investigation was a complete *advertiser censored* up. They have the DNA but don't have a suspect. They haven't released any key information to the public until over 10 years, and now 20 years down the track, when almost everyone would have forgotten or had their interest in the case wane due to time. They have spent so much Police resources and Money and needed review after review to stare them in the right direction after using keystone tactics to do Police work.
It appears the serial rapist in the Karrakatta case sat in a car park waiting for his victim before abducting them in a blitz attack and bounding them with 'washing line' before throwing them into his vehicle (Panel Van) and transporting the victim to the cemetery to carry out the rape (Victim blindfolded). -So it is possible this is his 'safe' spot, or 'kill' spot.
Fast forward and he has access to the latest Holden Commodore VS Series 1 (Likely Station Wagon) which is apparently 'White' in colour and he is now cruising the streets looking to bungle them into the car via a blitz attack. It is unclear whether this was carried out near the male witnesses at the bus stop, or whether he drove further down the road (or lane way) and pulled in somewhere and waited for his victim to bungle into the vehicle during the 'blitz attack'
It would be nice if the quality of the information the public received was high enough for them to atleast help the Police in their inquiries, instead of the secrecy that has hindered this case and made a mockery of any public appeal.
It looks like the critical car information, and mystery man, was apparently only important enough to release almost 10 years (if not longer) after the Claremont murders happened. They narrowed the case from the beginning and allowed the most corrupt shady Police figures to get their hands on the file and taint the crucial early years.
Now we have a serial rapist bungling people into vehicles with washing line / rope, possibly killing his victims with this washing/ rope. We had an FBI agent tell our local Police two key cases were linked to the serial rapist (Karrakatta and the CSK cases). The Police knew at this stage both vehicles that the serial rapist apparently drove. He was not lining his boot with anything and just leaving his victims bound in the back seat leaving fibres instead of trying to cover evidence. The serial rapist was reckless, he did not care to be caught it seemed, or did not care about covering DNA or evidence. He may have hid Sarah Spiers only because he raped her before hiding her, and with Ciara Glennon and Jane Rimmer he may have just dumped them both at opposite ends of Perth as he escalated to just outright murder.
Which makes the drop zones interesting, probably two points as far from his home as possible without spending too much of the night out and about.
Not sure where the ink comes into it, but didn't the Police believe printing parts were possibly 'stolen' implying the rapist may have been doing the printing at home? or he may have stolen washing line from a location and the Police are just confused, hoping, and cant really pinpoint exactly which screen printing business the printing elements came from. Or maybe they have, or can, and if they can work out who may have stolen them, then they can work out who this serial rapist is.
And you don't know whether this serial rapist at first just bound and bungled his victims into the vehicles, and then later on decided to line his boot with plastic knowing he had made mistakes previously, then changing his MO to seek a new 'easier' hunting ground to keep a low profile.
Police were taking huge amounts of DNA from the early days so it makes you wonder when they first had the DNA evidence? Or knew they had a profile, it is mind baffling they never ran some of the key evidence against other cases though. Only to get a match. If this case is as high profile as they come it does make you wonder what a bad Police officer/ Detective would be like in WA.
The most amazing thing is the Police didnt release key evidence that the Public could have helped with, like identifying the cars and releasing the info immediately. They have bungled the case and 20 years later hoping that by releasing this now they wont be made to look totally inept when the Coronial Inquest eventually happens and reveals all the incompetence the case has to throw around.
