Apologies for over posting and being a bit slow, what does gemini thing mean (which way, how)?
(Warning, below post is a bit graphic!!!)
I have read up more on NY serial killers operating at that time frame, Rifkin and Shulman, just to consider all possible scenarios in MVJD case, to find out how they worked, their victims, their methods, and also just to see how it was on the streets of NY then. What striked me is that both were targeting call girls (on the streets) and drug users. They both hated call girls, Rifkin even mentioning that those girls are real killers (probably referring to AIDS?) and they are not punished for their killings. That statement made me think of Carl's up thread suggestion of MVJD perp possibly being prostitute hater, we have already just two here.
Another thing what I have noticed, even though both have completely different methods, that they both attacked their victims during the same act! And that really stuck with me and again made me think of possible scenario in MVJD case. They both attacked their victims while girls were performing oral sex on them. Rifkin victims mainly in his car and Shulman's mainly at his home. They striked them over the head with heavy object from above (Shulman - dumbbells, hammer, ax etc) and then strangle them. This could explain why MVJD had no sexual contact detected if it was just oral sex and it would explain the bump on her too.
Bump on her forehead - it was clarified that bump was already on her forehead at the crime scene and not as result of her autopsy. Can anyone say from that photo, if it looks as just normal bump from hit or fall or if it looks like actually fractured bone in skull? We also know that she had bruised eye, so some beating was definitely involved.
Another little fact is that Shulman made his victims strip naked, cook crack for him at his home and then they had "little party". Again, made me think of cocaine in MVJD bloodstream. Rifkin sometimes drove his girls around and paid for their crack hits.
All above would make sense (call girl, drug, oral sex, bump), only thing which does not fit for me in this scenario is MVJD being tied up. Why would you tied up someone who is already willingly in your car or home and then already incapacitated by blow during oral sex or strangled...
Probably overthinking, maybe MVJD was not that willing, but forced where she was and tied up (but no sexual assault though) and that she would have to be tied up somewhere for some time, still alive. But being tied up, then bump on her head not making sense. I think by seriousness of her head injury we could tell, if the bump was minor it was probably to incapacitate her prior to her being tied up, or if it was fracture, it was probably to kill her when already tied up. Gee, sorry, what a horror story... I hope my explanation is making some sense.
Last thing, when Rifkin was describing one of his victim, he mentioned that she was real big fighter, and most difficult and that she even broke most of her fake nails on him. Made me think of MVJD nails. Do we know in what state were her fake nails? Any missing? Any broken or chipped or rather still perfect?
I am not suggesting either of them was involved here, they did hide all their victims with real effort, but reading helped me think about new possibilities in the case; hope you do not mind me sharing.
) as it does give us look of her from different dimension. She does look quite hmm real there. (Lindsay Lohan comes to mind). Her ear is clearly visible (great for comparison) and also nose from side view, which still look small, has no bump on it and not looking as flat as from profile. She appears to have small mole on her right temple parallel with eye and also small mole on her nostril. Both were not visible on her profile pic. Her mouth and cheek look quite natural here, much better then on profile view with weird postmortem circle around her mouth. Her hair appears quite darker but it might be due to pic being black and white. Btw, this is her postmortem photo from side and not the crime scene photo discussed up thread, right?
