Interesting Ron is doing a show on channel 7 called Homicide, I wonder if he will talk about his attempts in finding MrC

Hope so
This is not a forum I venture into much so please forgive if I post something that sounds silly. With this case one thing always nagged at me as a possible theory.
Was Mr C a minor or even major celebrity type who Karmein Chan recognised? He seemed very comfortable with himself in terms of being so unhurried and taking so long about things that a degree of ego is quite likely - along the lines of "they could never catch and pin it on someone like ME". Yet making a mistake with Karmein Chan accidentally seeing him and instantly recognising who he was?
I realise this sounds very far fetched even as I write it but wondered if it was a line of enquiry ever pursued in any way...and no I would not even begin to know who he may be if this was the case. I equally realised that KC may have recognised him as someone very close to the family also which makes my theory rubbish.

The theory that Chan was killed because she saw him is a very popular one. But not because he was recognisable - more so that he was always extremely diligent in getting rid of evidence.
If she became an eyewitness, well there’s really only one way to get rid of that.
top cop Ron suggested he may have been a local realestate idendtity, so you might be on the right track

Ricky balcombe case says hi
The web page over at "Melbourne Marvels" was updated again.
It remains the best place to catch up on old news articles and theories on Mr C
www.melbinmarvels.com
The latest entry, details the Sharron Wills abduction . so sit back and read through the various articles. (a long read)
A lot that I haven't seen before, including the channel 10 connection and photos from behind the home.
They continue to explore the Linesman theory and partly suggest MrC may have been from interstate?
I certainly would not limit the suspect pool to Melbourne and surrounds
Its good that someone is still on the case
Its often suggested the first victim in a series of crimes is the most significant.
The offender and family may have crossed paths at some stage. Obviously without the parents thinking he was threat.

Found another good page on Mr Cruel
Who is Mr Cruel? – Website dedicated to unmasking the Melbourne child killer Mr Cruel
Read through these pages and discovered a suspect that fits MY Profile of MrC
A dude that may be hiding out in an Asian country. Also fits a description of a suspect Ron Idles talks about, a person who converted sheds?

When the story was being covered in the late '90's early 2000s, the name Maurice Marion was always being mentioned, but with the seeming resolution of the Prue Bird case, this has fallen away. I was a big fan of Henderson Kids and he had a memorable scene in that show...memorable because his violent history would have been fully known to the show's producers.

A note on the name of the victim. Throughout the years, the victim of this abduction has variously been referred to as Nicola, Nicole, Nicky, Nicki and Nikki in a variety of media publication…

I follow you on Reddit too, I seriously doubt there is anyone else in journalism more qualified to be briefed on the Sierra Files than you are. The amount of research and writing you've done is astounding. Great work.I comprehensive Blog on the Nicki Lynas Abduction can be seen in a update

I really hope Nicki was able to live a well-adjusted life - she comes off as incredibly smart and cunning. This sort of trauma would never leave someone but I hope she got the support and stability that would be required.
Also the description of the sicko sounds a lot like the stubby little prick Elkner.

I'm not the Author of the melbourne marvels page, i just report when there's an update.
Yes, its one on the most comprehensive studies of Mr C.
I guess the next step for the guys working he case, is to develop a kind of profile. Working the case for so long you get a feel for what MrC was like.
I think these researchers are well advanced to be even be allowed full access to the police files. A fresh mind, can find something that's been missed.
Personally
I still think MrC is an unemployed looser, who was very lucky not to get detected. He's not as organised as people think, and may have missed details like, putting petrol in his car before the attack on Nicki. He has levels of compulsive behaviour, like over preparing in some other aspects. He showed signs of nervousness in the early attacks. (hands shaking) And signs of insecurity, like talking to imaginary friends. so he's not the hardened criminal like people think. MrC has no friends or associates, so i think the FBI profile is way off the mark. He's a mummies boy, with his mom probably knitting his Balaklava. The overalls are probably his dads.
Theres a lot of info via that link johnnymac posted from melbinmarvels.
I must have been down some "rabbit holes" for 8 hours following the info lines.
So much info there that was not available previously.
Well done.
Thanks again for the research.

I’ve only just discovered the crime board and am fascinated by this mystery.
Has the possibility that the plane noises were a recording designed to deceive the investigators ever been considered? He seemed to throw out red herrings routinely as part of his MO from what I’ve read.

Make yourself at home.
I don't think anybody thought of that but yeah agree it might have been one of his red herrings.
An interesting theory, but would be very hard to replicate at a volume that would be considered believable, and then not attract attention of neighbours. Also would need a degree of "surround sound" to sound authentic.

I think they're genuinely suggesting the bloke convicted of the Claremont murders didn't do it
I used to live near Greensborough, I'd have planes basically go right above my house. Mr Cruel was suspected to live in Eltham. I'd say it's more likely he was under a flight path than faking it.

It has been considered. I've seen it mentioned a few times on comments and did wonder it myself. But, I've never seen police mention it.
