Hello
I have just finished her book. For people who can't be bothered, this is a pretty good summary:
http://www.abc.net.au/austory/specials/beforeyouleap2/default.htm
I did some research and I have the name of her ex partner. There are legal records open to the public in regards to this man. He certainly had the time, and the means to accomplish these crimes. He was in jail for the majority of the past decade and would be about 60 now. He has a Linkedin profile with zero connections, and states he is a car mechanic in the Perth area. Will dig further!
Oh excellent, thanks. I'm just finishing up the Debi Marshall one now and then onto that one, so perhaps we can compare notes?
I'm doing a minor in psychology at uni and I found an article about serial murder in Australia.
from
Mouzous, J. & West, D. “An examination of serial murder in Australia” in
Trends and Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice, September 2007, no. 346 pp. 1-6
I found some more info which will have to wait until later tonight when I have some more spare time though.
Edit + Update:
“While overseas research suggests that serial murder is predominantly perpetrated by persons not known to the victims, in the case of serial murder in Australia, 25 victims did not know their attacker (stranger homicides) while 24 victims knew their attacker, either intimately or as an acquaintance.”
and “Much research has found a sexual element to be common in the murders committed by serial killers. Based on the information available in the NHMP case files, there is sufficient evidence
to suggest that six out of the 11 series of serial killings involved a sexual element.”
“This could include evidence that the victims were sexually assaulted, or of sexual overtones in the crime scene or torture of the victims. In all but one of these serial killings (one series remains
unsolved), the victims and offenders were not known to each other.
Five of the 13 serial killers had a history of prior sexual offending, and one offender was described by the sentencing judge as a ‘sexual predator of the worst kind’.”
“These serial murders involved 13 known killers (excluding the Claremont killings in WA – while these murders are unsolved,
it is suspected that a sole offender was responsible, based on the similar modus operandi in each case).”
These quotes are all from Mouzous, J. & West, D. “An examination of serial murder in Australia” in Trends and Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice, September 2007, no. 346 pp. 1-6
Which is academic and peer reviewed. So while the public has not been privy to the m.o of the CSK, from this one can infer that all three of the victims died in a similar manner and most likely had a sexual element to their murders.
In Marshall's book she discusses that Rimmer was found naked and that Glennon was found in a state of an undress. Police have always denied any sexual assault prior or post-mortem - however, the evidence contradicts this. Especially as a corpse that has been exposed to rain, animals and the elements which would make physical evidence difficult to retrieve.
