Well, I've tried to understand this case. I think I need a damn excell spreadsheet with the facts and names. It's maddening. I feel the best way to break this down is to look at each girl as an individual and not part of a cluster. I'm trying to narrow down their lifestyles and what led up to meeting with their untimely death.
Jessica Taylor, in my opinion is easy to understand. Although I believe that to be because of the Port Authority and that I know that area like the back of my hand. Before I even seen the photos of her standing near her area - I could picture it in my mind. I was sure before that there's only one part where the pimps and hustlers were, I was right.
Please be aware that the term "sex worker" means: ANYONE who works in the sex trade. *advertiser censored* stars, Strippers, Dominatrixes, Fetish models, Prostitutes, Webcam girls, phone sex operators. It's not exclusive to prostitutes.
Anyway - with all the victims of the murders in which are profiled here (I don't know who's the GB4 as opposed to others) - I can look at - at least 3 and see heroin in their eyes. Once you know what you're looking for, it's rather easy. I think there's a misconception of heroin use and what you're capable of while being an addict. A heroin addict is rather docile, compliant and easy to take over. But when they are sick, that's an entire other story. Most streetwalkers (or even escorts) will smoke crack along with doing heroin - because they want to "even" the buzz and keep from nodding out. Or they do speedballs. Cocaine and heroin together = a death sentence. Crack and heroin are cheap drugs, which is why it's more rare to see anyone out on the street level doing cocaine.
If someone were the prey on dope sick girls, all they would have to do is look for the watery eyes, over dressed (you get serious goosebumps and shivers when you detox), constant sneezing and stomach pains. This is "jonesing" and if a person sees this, and sadly there's a lot of Johns' that look for this - they know the girl will do damn near anything to get her fix to feel better. Heroin is the worst withdrawal feelings. Imagine food poisoning with the worst panic attack you've ever had mixed with allergies. You just want it to go away and you'll do anything for 10.00 (the price of a pack aka 1 bag of heroin).
Port authority is shady business. That entire area even in the daytime is filled with pimps and hookers, guys selling their methadone and people running over priced heroin out of a certain hotel. if she was working that area without a pimp, believe me - there was another pimp holding his spot. A girl would not go out working without her pimps permission - and a pimp going to jail wouldn't leave his girls unattended. He would instead ask a friend to take over or his "bottom" girl to do so for him. Most pimps do not want a girl with a habit to feed, as they are likely to steal from them or run off or get arrested for possession. Most pimps are also drug dealers aka the suppliers. So, Jessica was a heroin user and I can only think that her pimp was low level, inexperienced and earning very little. A wanna be if you will. He was or still is, in the "bloods" (gang) which he openly admits.
it's very possible Jessica refused to go with another pimp who knew HER pimp was in jail. Or she violated some sort of street code.
I did glance through about the man dressed up in women's clothing. I don't think any of that is related to a serial killer. But I have a lot of reading to do, and I'm curious why that area is so prevalent to body dumping (has it always been?).
On a side note: I brought up the deaths in my city to prove a point about people posing as those they are not, in order to gain trust and cause harm. Or that regulars turn bad often without any warning. If monsters looked like monsters then there would be a lot less worry. I do not appreciate people asking me to prove what I said. Everyone has a google finger. It's the same to be said about the "blacklist". The reason I do not want either link in this thread is because #1 it compromises many people and #2 the last thing I'd want to see is someone googling the deaths of my friends/associates and finding this thread - then the rumors start that the LISK is somehow tied. I hope this makes sense.
