Do you guys remember the Green River Killings in the 80\'s? 49 Women murdered, and the killer was never caught. The killer picked up prostitutes in the Strip in Washington State. The Green River Task Force spent $15 million on botanists, anthropoligists, seers, psychologists, lasers that could lift fingerprints, and computers that can match a face to a sliver of jawbone. Justice denied. Serial Killers are very hard to catch as they pick their victims at random, or when an opportunity arises. The killer doesn\'t know the victim which makes it so hard for the police. It\'s a scary world we live in.
Actually,yes I remember the Green River Killings. Some made the conspiracy theory up that the Green River killer was actually the Zodiac Killer, another uncaught famous serial killer.
Serial killers can be hard to catch, depending on the kind. Those with control are the hardest. When you have a sexual sadist like Ted Bundy or Jeffery Dahmer, they eventually get sloppy and do it more and more.
I actually spend alot of time reading on things like this. Serial killers, forensic science and so on.
Like you said, it is a scary world we live in. Sometimes the people we least expect turn out to be monsters (Hello? John Wayne Gacy?!?).
On the note of Condit not being a suspect you could look at it one of three ways. 1) They don\'t have enough evidence to actually make any suspects. But still, they should have at least an idea. 2) They don\'t want to create a political scandal. 3) The Police have reason to believe it is a "serial killer" and they don\'t want to create a public panic or they don\'t want the killer to know they have a "clue".
I personally think it is number two. If they believed it was a serial killer, more and likely they would let the public know. Does anyone remember the hysteria with Richard Rameriz? They had the public in a panic, so that they would be on their toes. So, I think three is a very silm chance. As for number one, they should have at least a suspect. The girl is a missing person and they have no reason to believe she ran away nor any evidence pointing towards running away.
The only reason this case is attracting the attenion it has, is because of her affair with Condit. People go missing everyday, but they don\'t take overtake all of the nations news. Which goes to show, its all about money and political ties in this country. If she would of just been another white girl who went missing, the cops would of passed it off as a runaway or waited for her body to turn up. There wouldn\'t of been such a fuss. But, because she slept with Condit , her case is more important then the other missing persons. Pretty sad, if you ask me.
