Let us assume the following:
The deceased escorts had met the serial killer on business at least one time, possibly several times, prior to their demise. Because of the prior contacts the escorts trusted the SK, since nothing bad happened before. I say this because it seems the deceased escorts had been less vigilant when going out on their last calls. That is why I suspect prior contacts and the escort trusting the SK.
This theory hangs on two underlying assumptions:
a.) It means, the killer is a John and the escorts were killed at their umpteenths visit at this John's place or a meeting with this John at least.
b.) it implicitly assumes, said John would operate out of LI.
The problem is, he may even operates out of LI, but we know in at least one of the cases, the victim made it back from the last client to NYC to the bus terminal. And the last John she had was in a hotel in NYC not far from the terminal at all, not in LI.
The whole reason to go for JB or the drifter or Pak is the connection with SG. Now, if SG is unconnected to the LISK and Manorville murders, as it appears, we need to look at the GB4 again without any assumptions based on the SG case because it's highly likely that the person who killed SG (if she was murdered in the first place) didn't know about the bodies further down the beach. And vice versa, the person dropping the GB4 probably have never heard of SG before.
Let us say that this was the SK and Shannans first contact, he was checking her out so to speak. That is why a) he was not concerned that she had a driver with her, b) he was not going to harm her and would let her go. c) No sexual act took place (according to JB).
He in fact contracted the driver ... and why would I believe, no sexual contact took place when this statement comes form a guy who ordered just a prostitute a la carte? At least the intention was there, so the only reason no sexual contact happened was, that SG suddenly ran out with a bad trip.
My main problem with this theory is, this repeated visits would classify as a variant of a stalker type personality. Stalker type personality come basically in two forms:
- The personal stalker
This type, as SK, has a very narrow knitted victimology showing off victims of similar optical traits, simply because the stalking process starts with seeing. The GB4 don't fulfill that criteria.
- The symbolic stalker
This type bases his urge to stalk someone on a symbolic value. In other words, the victim isn't as important as person as it is as a symbol for an event, a group of persons or a single person in the sense of a surrogate. Typically, this type would have a wider varying victimology in which the victims only one or two aspects have in common, because one of those will be the connection to the symbolic value that determined the choice of victim, the other ones normally come from the availability of victims. I can't see JB fulfilling that criteria, nor Pak, nor CPH.
However, all stalker type personalities start stalking after seeing the victims. There are rare cases known, that seeing a photo did the job, but that's really rare and mostly limited to celebrity stalkers. So, if you're right, it would mean, the killer has seen the victims somewhere BEFORE he first booked them to check out further on them.
The Oak Beach outcall was an opportunity for Shannan to build trust in the SK. While at JBs house SG discovered something that scared the living daylights out of her and she ran. The SK had a problem. (Supposedly there were three men at SNs house that night; might there have been more?)
He had to silence SG, (or he would be identified and caught) and that is what happened.
No SK would try something in a lose group of people, unless it's a team, a pack or a lose pack (compare the Freeway Stranglers for an example of those). With all kinds of antisocial personality disorders comes a certain degree of paranoia.
Do not get obsessed with body placements etc, the SK is deranged and what seems logical and sensible to him will not be logical or sensible to you.
In fact, those things in most cases make a lot of sense and include a lot of logic to them. The trick is to follow their logic, not your own. The general dismissal is normally the reason why it takes in the US average 15-17 years to catch an SK,
My hunch is that the SK is one of the men that were at the house that night, he might be somebody other than the three men identified already (JB, PCH, the drifter) or he is one of them.
I was mobbed several times for pointing out, that there is no piece of evidence, no behavioral connection, simply nothing, that connects SG to the GB4 or the Manorville victims. Still, as the events showed, all details point out, LISK and SG's killer (if she was murdered at all) aren't identical. In the cases of the GB4, we see a serial killer who follows his own star. He does so coldly and controlled, at least over most of the time, and he knows what he is doing. He has probably also studied other serial killers and to a point, he is pretty proud of his work. On the other hand, in the case of SG, we see someone covering up in a manner, subtle as a steam hammer without the faintest creativity or knowledge. Ask yourself, what kind of moron woul drop a purse with an ID in the vicinity of the body? Only an inexperienced moron. Different kind of animal.
As to why the SK started dumping the bodies after SGs disappearance is obvious. He was in possession of the bodies, some for many months. If SG had said something to somebody, the SK did not want to be caught with the bodies in his possession.
This ignores the behavioral details of the dump site. The placing, the wrapping, the exact distances between the bodies, this all indicates a kind of trophy yard. This wasn't just dumping (and yes, I think, I thought initially as mere dumping ground without signs of remorse, but the more details, I see, the more I change to trophy yard). So, the bodies were out there for a long time, all but one since before SG died.
LE should focus on
1) Who was in JBs house when Shannan was there?
2) What she could have heard?
3) What she might have seen?
In fact, they searched his house, they got his SUV (which was white, Pak's was the black one). So, they did exactly that and it brought them to nowhere.
I believe in the 23 minute phone call Shannan told LE what she heard/saw. Dormer is behaving like he does not know anything; she drowned because he does not have enough evidence yet for a conviction. He needs something more than the words of a dead escort on a 911 call.
You forget another possibility: Dormer is maybe just a moron fearing for his further career.
Has LE done a full forensic search of JBs and PHs homes? Why not? Probably it is too late now.
In fact, they did. At the same time JB underwent a lie detector test which came back inconclusive (means, he lied about something but not about not having murdered SG). His SUV was also checked for fibers and traces of body transport. Nothing came up, neither in the car nor in the house.
Who is/was drifter, has he been identified? What is his story? Just as likely he is SK as PCH or JB.
He was identified, but I forgot his name again. Go back in this thread and you find some hints about this drifter.
Police are holding back info as they should; contents of SGs 911 call; what was purchased at pharmacy; who went to the pharmacy; was there a prescription involved, and which doctor issued it?
There are two kinds of information: One, you can use to pin a suspect to a crime. Details. And then some, that, if going public, would help to cathc an SK with the public's help. Unfortunately, in the last forty years, LE didn't learn to estimate which kind of information they have, not did they learn to listen to the public. Some SKs were almost literally dragged to the police's doorsteps and LE still let them go for more kills (for example Gacy).
Did any of the skeletal remains show signs of medical expertise?
Dormer cannot be as thick as he comes across, is he hiding something to protect the integrity of the investigation, or is he protecting someone?
Why can't he be that thick? He appears to me entirely willing and able, at least in that aspect. And of course, he is protecting someone ... his own sorry rear and his career.
