adios 717 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Couldn't find a serial killer thread, so... They've allegedly finally caught the GSK who was last active in the mid-80s. Had been presumed dead as he'd been very active for a decade then just disappeared. Only thing that really caught my attention is that the suspect is a former cop, which is something straight out of a movie and should prove "interesting" as the story unfolds. He was guilty of a rake of rapes/murders and used to call his victims to taunt them afterwards. It's unclear at this time whether he was taunting the dead ones. They finally nailed him on DNA evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44881 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Aye I saw this on the news last night. Been meaning to have a read of how they actually got him. I thought it was the Zodiac at first when I saw the news report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Wiki mentions them matching the felon database with GedMatch Genealogy DNA service. Not sure if that's how they actually got him but all it would take would be a near-relative to upload their DNA to link him. I'm on there so I guess my dreams of a terrorising the sheep of Dingle are on permanent hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US has a very fucked up culture for a Western country but probably has the best rate of identifying and capturing them too when compared to some South American countries, for example, where they are also prevalent. So I think it's a mixture of lunacy; large, sprawling, anonymous cities and detective work spotting trends we can't compete with (and perhaps don't even want to).

While not instant killers, the ones that worry me are the ones with property who can keep their victims alive for as long as they want. I think I was scarred by that scene in pulp fiction.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I think one of the first films I remember was the child killer (can’t rember.... Wayne ) who was played by Brian denratty? , who had the kids buried under his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
