Kitty I'll read that later. As to a kitten it rings a bell but where did I read it? I don't recall. Killing is something he seems to get his kicks from so heaven knows what or who else he has gotten rid of, we may or may not ever find out.
I think it's likely we read it among the lists of previous actions which his defence was trying to get eliminated from evidence.
I don;t recall upshot of that one and I don;t think I ever really heard a description of the killing. But in the book there is a killing of a cat in a particularly gruesome manner...
Recall he was the dominant partner in his relationship with TEB. It's likely that was his preferred role in all his relationships...and in all his dealings with others,possible, I say speculatively because there is no evidence that he dominated in an academic career though posibly his role as teacher was a dominant role.
Just watching the film clips and the godawful book analysis above and trying to figure what fits with what we know and we know so little, I was mentally applying and the questions were coming up.
the book was missing when his ex-wife, Michelle returned. His favourite book
When the FBI came, she told him to go with them, she told them that she believed it was possible that he was the perp. I think she went into a fear response v son after because she asked the police via text if she could get a barring order.. This suggests that as the realisation hit her and the full gravity of the slaughter penetrated her psyche fully, she became afraid.
I also read yesterday that his 600 hrs of phonecalls were monitored and recorded, his defence objected on grounds they were personal matters INCLUDING SEX
It does look like he tried to woo her back once imprisoned
It was his defence team that took and prepared her submission in December saying the searches were illegal..he is still using her and they are complicit in his abuse of yet another woman.
Woman as Object, to be used and discarded.
The research is there in shining lights that women do not recover fast from abusers, they would be aware of this research but they still inveigled her through whatever he informed them were her weakest and most vulnerable points to get her to agree.
Does she love him still, she was asked.
Her reply- 'Is it relevant'
Maybe a more appropriate question would be 'Does he control you still?'
clearly he does and his request to her to delete his accounts and comments is proof of that. If she too was a submissive, it is likely she is still.
I wonder how TEB is? She is not expected to testify.
Is anybody taking care of her?
Is he still phoning and twisting her mind still too?
i think its likely.
When did phone-sex become prisoner's right, particularly a prisoner on trial for murdering a woman? And particularly when the type of sex preferred by this particular prisoner was a well documented abusive sex.Not a crime with a willing participant, I know. Was it tEB or his wife or did he have other slaves too?
The other striking point from the condensed form of the book- everyone was rich and successful. When his mates watched him putting a body in his carboot,they merely admired the designer bag he used..
They were all rich kids. Brendt was broke and lazy too, I think.
He needed money more than he needed a kill.
Or he needed a kill in order to make money , either by selling the footage or engaging in an act of necrophilia, filming it and selling it. There is a big market . I spent a long time searching it out in the early days, looking for YY...
I still think he profited from her death ,
was the book present and dit it form a part of his killing ritual? did he read her passages? Did it become so blood spattered that he had to discard it afterwards?
Michelle also stated in earlyinterviews that a blue holdall was missing too, not designer, but depending on how closely he followed the book's description, it may be significant.
The book character used to 'try' to confess to people that he had an insatiable urge to kill people.
He killed men and he killed women in his nice designer apartment.
Over the years, did man male students of his ever go missing? We concentrated on females but Brendt's ambition was to b a serial killer.
There is talk that his mandate is online somewhere, he detailed plans of how he would fulfill this ambition
I have not located or substantiated it but the book killer drew little cartoons and coloured them in.
Brendt drew cartoons too
It's a possibility that he tried to fully merge with the book character by imitation...
but they were oceans apart in terms of lifestyle and income.
Did this bother him much and how did he plan to bridge the gap?
To make money from his sexual acticities?
Did he film sex with Michelle, tEB and any other women he collected from his dating sites?
where did he store thefilm and have the police yet found it?
Was there another device that he hid and remains hidden. He was expecting them, after all, he had time
