Hi all. Long time lurker here, I have read through the BF thread and also all 3 here on WS. I have always been intrigued with this case, I was 16/17 at the time and about to venture into the nightlife in Perth. Being male, it didn't change the way I behaved but seeing the Jill Meagher murder a few years ago reminded me of this time in Perth when it was gripped by fear. Shocked and saddened that the SK hasn't been bought to justice and is still on the loose, it has almost been forgotten.
Anyway I just wanted to throw my 2c in for discussion.
1) I know a lot is being centred around the Conti but I recall back in the day, all the talk was around Club Bayview. The Conti was perhaps the last place they were seen but I'm almost certain back in 96-97 all the fuss was about CBV being the place where it happened. In 98 when I was of legal age to hit the nightspots, some would joke to the females in our group (hope nobody takes offence, just stupid jokes that young people make) that we should go to CBV, to spook them. Has the focus changed gradually over time, rightly or wrongly?
2) There has been some discussion around the activites that the SK participated in which allow him to be famililar with the 2 disposal sites. I'm not sure a SK fits the image of riding dirt bikes through bushes. I was thinking, could it be something a bit more sophisticated, like picking wild flowers? I think one of our POIs has shown he has an interest in gardening and the lady was picking flowers when she discovered JR's body.
3) Another alternative is that the SK is interested in car racing which fits in with the car enthusiast profile. The 2 disposal sites, I notice they are close to the 2 raceways in Perth. Wanneroo Raceway in the north and Kwinana Motorplex in the south. Not sure how these link in, but it's just something I noticed.
4) The Karrakatta link has popped up from time to time, someone who is familiar with the cemetary. I don't know how this would link in, but when I read DMs book, I do recall the story of Romuald Zak who visited CGs grave daily after she was buried there. Apparently he worked with CG and died suspiciously. Could he be related somehow?
5) One thing that has always stood out for me is that the 3 girls were all single and broke away from their group to go solo at some point in the night which makes me think a male love interest is involved (nothing new here). Most girls would be quite giddy and find it hard to keep from friends if they had just met a guy, so could it be that he was married and therefore a secret? Either way my suspicions are that the CSK is a good looking, charismatic male. Again, probably nothing groundbreaking here.
That's all I have to add. I'll go back to lurking now
Keep it up everyone, there's some great stuff in this thread. Praying for justice.
