I've done a fair bit of posting on the CSK thread, which along with the Beaumont Kids and Wanda Murders must be one of Australia's most frustrating unsolved murders/disappearances. The two biggest mysteries in the CSK case are a) How did the CSK get the girls into the car, and b) Why did he stop killing, or if he did stop where is he?
I was having a trawl around online last night and came up with this great site:
http://missingandmurderedaustralia.blogspot.com.au/
I'm sure the police have a far more sophisticated system that has all missing persons and unsolved murders in it, each with a heap of data which can be searched upon to link disappearances/murders nationwide. But this site is pretty good for the public. I've only had a quick look and it looks far better than the Govt's public missing person site that has a search function that doesn't seem to work.
A large percentage of murdered women are killed by their partners or someone close that they know. There are two motive categories:
1. A specific motive that is personal such as passion, jealousy, financial. (Motive 1)
2. Sex and killing (Motive 2)
Take Baden-Clay for example. Allegedly murdered his wife to reduce financial loss through divorce and so he could be with his mistress. His motive isn't killing, rather the killing is a means to an end. If free he would be unlikely to go on a murder spree. On the other hand a person motivated by sex and killing is likely to keep doing it......
Motive 1 is usually by someone close so easier to solve (husband, child, work colleague etc). Motive 2 is harder because it's often a random with no links and no leads.
So we can extrapolate that a higher percentage of women on that website are likely to be murdered by someone with Motive 2. We can also extrapolate that it's likely people with Motive 2 will repeat their behavior (i.e. be or become a serial killer)
There's no doubt a percentage of those women on that site were killed by someone close (husband, pimp, jealous ex BF) and the police can't prove it or have little evidence. But there's also no doubt some of these women were abducted and killed by random killers. And the chance of every single one being a single kill murderer is very slim.
So how many serial killers do we have undetected?
Just a quick flick through that site I recall seeing about 3 from Katoomba in NSW. Anyone want to have a crack at making groups depending on geographic locations or age etc.
