      A lot of others were probably told they were the main suspect. Just recently the media are telling us that police have a new main suspect in the Elizabeth Membrey murder. One of the earlier main suspects was charged and spent about 2 years in jail awaiting trial only to be found not guilty. But not to worry, they now have a new suspect.
      And Catholic cardinal George Pell was sent to jail for an offence that even basic logic says could not have even happened.

    First, prayers and extreme sympathy to all victims and their loved ones. Always. But, in stories such as this, my first and last question is Why, oh why don't households have dogs?
    I have guard dogs but, if people don't understand dogs enough to handle them properly, get a Chihuahua at least. They have phenomenal hearing and with only nominal training, are wonderful alarms that let you know to get the gun!
    No one builds a better alarm system than nature. Use it, please

    While this TV show is quite good for its time (about 3-4 years ago), it contains a probable clanger. The family of the 13 Apr 1991 kidnap victim probably didn’t own the Lower Plenty takeaway café, but they did own the much more upmarket Cantonese restaurant, Mings, in Eltham near the Lower Eltham Park. They also owned a restaurant in Bulleen Shopping Centre and possibly another in Warrandyte.
    Since this was made there have been some interesting discoveries by citizen sleuths. The “electricity connections theory” was broadcast in March 2022 and the incredible news that the 1991 international profile was based on incorrect information that claimed all 4 incidents from 1987-1991 took place during school holiday, when as pointed out by a Melbourne newspaper on 17 April 2022, this was not the case. Both topics were mentioned by youtubers before this back in 2021, etc.
    Apart from new information released, there are also new suspects, among them a robber, shot dead at Melbourne Airport in 1992.

    The audacity of the offender and the inability of the Australian police to find the offender is appalling. What about voice identity? Apart from this tragedy has Australian esprit de corps suffered from the decision made by England, Australia and the United States regarding the Pine Gap incident?

      exactly. It feels like the police are almost lazy at times. They're happy to get small time crims but the big fish end up getting away and escaping to another country or living their lives out somewhere else. The police corruption in Australia is astounding.

    He murdered karmein because she saw his face. The spray painted car was another red herring. He was notorious for leaving false clues.

  • @david-dj8or
    @david-dj8or Год назад

    After Karmein was abducted, unbeknown to the parents, Karmein was probably trapped in the car being driven a few miles from the house then right past where they were working.

  • @Rasputin443556
    @Rasputin443556 10 месяцев назад

    He obviously moved on after the Chan killing. That he had now killed a victim would lower parental compliance in later abductions. How pronounced are regional accents in Australia? Since his surviving victims portrayed his speech as unremarkable, he obviously was from the Melbourne area or had lived there a long time. To keep from sticking out, any new place to where he would move would have to have similar speech patterns as Melbourne.

    2 girls from the same Private school. What are the odds. Clearly the Man responsible is connected to the school. Cleary the offender has connection between the northern subs and eastern. Look for links of the teachers and principle if they grew up in Lalor or Thomastown and worked in the East. its also known that the man used British words didn't the principle have a bit of an accent. The offender was clearly educated, moved in circles in which young people were active and knew information about the families. Which would be easy to discover when u worked at the school. Cant be hard to narrow the list down very quickly

    • @penguinvic4188
      @penguinvic4188 Год назад +1

      The problem with the theory that the offender had to be connected to the private school the last 2 victims attended, is that the 3 July 1990 victim was taken from her home on a Tuesday night, and held for 50 hours, in a normal week of school. This practically rules out any full-time male members of staff who were present at the private school that week.
      The theory also doesn’t explain the connection with the 2 state primary school, some miles away, where the other victims were students at.
      Now it could be someone who had a grudge against these schools, real or imaginary, or who may have had something to do with them i.e. trades person, parent, coach, ex staff member, etc. But police despite their best efforts never established a connection.
      Also it appears the offender was was very comfortable around things electrical and all crime sites were near very high voltage electricity (66 kv) or things unusual that were electrical (pole fittings, transformers, etc). A TV program was done on this in March 2022.
      Added to this is that the latest major suspect was a man who made dim sims ... which is about as far from the private school and staff as you can get.
