@ApparentlyInDenial did you get your timeline of missing persons together? I remember your geo mapping from Sarah E’s case.
Yeah I did a little - the strongest tentative links (geographically and by patterns of possible victim selection) are Georgina Gharsallah and Gillian Affleck. If you go back further there are others. It cannot be a coincidence that so many serial killers/pathologically violent-toward-random-women people have come from the Eastbourne/Hastings/Brighton area. And then the Sussex/Kent borders; you can include Wayne Couzens in that group.
Interesting that you bracket Georgina Gharsallah and Gillian Affleck together. They seem quite different in victimology terms to me, so it would be interesting to hear your reasoning. I can't claim more than a passing acquaintance with either case tbf.
As for the area, the coastal towns have long been a magnet for people with mental health or drug-related problems (much like seaside towns in other regions probably), which may well skew the homicide rate. I suspect they also have higher than average suicide rates too. It would be interesting to see what data is available.

I knew you’d ask that
Affleck was 50, 17 years older than Gharshallah. And a bit more middle class background. It was the looks that stood out for me, which combined with the complete disappearance and the geography, made me think twice; Affleck looks younger than 50, is quite slight, brunette and pretty. She’s Anglo British, etc. Im by no means certain as none of us can be. Bit of a wild card maybe.
I'm not sure I even see them both as likely homicide victims tbh, but we're all just guessing without more info, as you say. Sorry to digress, everyone. I'm done now.![]()
So we know very little about the man arrested and charged by police for Alexandra's murder who is Mark Brown, 40, of Squirrel Close in St-Leonards-on-Sea in East SussexI find the whole 'stalker' aspect with Alexandra Morgan disturbing.
Missing mum-of-two feared 'stalker' & told pal someone 'followed' every move
Quote:
The 34-year-old posted online about the “stalker” in 2018 and then referenced the incident again last year.
In a reply to a pal who asked: “Where have you been?” she said: “Living the best life where nobody followed my every move.”
Another friend posted: “I was wondering only the other day where you’d gone! Hope all is ok.”
Alex didn't seem very happy living in Hawkhurst as she posted on the FB group Hawkhurst Community back in 2020 that someone had smashed the passenger window of her car and she would cut the fingers off whoever had done this.
There is also another instance where her car was keyed by someone three times in 2017.
I am not sure if the above instances could be related to the account in the newspaper about when she first started to be stalked.
1st ever post. The longer the search continues, the stranger this has become. The police were onto the suspect relatively quickly, they subsequently found the car which would indicate rough location, and yet massive prolonged searches have so far been unsuccessful. I can’t help thinking they’re in the wrong place or that someone is very proficient in disposing bodies….. and that leads onto the absolute fluke in uncovering Leah Ware’s disappearance from what seems the exact same location.
Is there a body count going on? Apologies for morbidity, but it is almost impossible to find no trace in such a centred location after all this time, surely?
