When I first read this thread I couldn't help but think of a similar situation in my own backyard. I'm sure most of you haven't heard of the case here in Vancouver, B.C. involving a local pig farmer named Robert Pickton. He is Canada's worst known serial killer and is currently being held in custody on charges of killing at least 27 young women from the eastside of Vancouver.
The story is long and winding, but basically the remains of these women were found on his pig farm a few years ago. When the story first appeared over the news many people were having gruesome images as to how these women came to rest on the farm. The police conducted a massive excavation of the property and brought in forensic and DNA experts to help with the investigation.

They have just finished jury selection as of yesterday I believe, and now we are all waiting to see what comes of the trial.

They are going to have to catch him/her soon before this escalates into another Ripper and media frenzy.
Yes. They also need to hope that the killer doesn't move either......
this is a fascinating and very scary case, i hope the murderer (i notice everyone assumes it is a man? it probably is, but still...) is found swiftly and brought to justice, however i fear that may not happen, the perpetrator is obviously picking on protitutes, who are relatively defenceless and find themselves in more dangerous positions than most people, coupled with that there aren't a lot of willing witnesses due to the nature of the people using prostitutes and it seems that the police have very little to go on if the press are to be believed - a few sketchy reports and very little physical evidence.
i hope this can be ended soon and without further loss of life, and moreso hope that the police are closer to a resolution than they seem
Just watching Tania's father on the TV. The man is obviously devastated but made a very brave statement.
Tania's story is a recurring one. Once, she was a happy and loving daughter until drugs took her. From there, it escalated to prostitution and ultimately her death.
My best wishes go out to there poor girls families.
RIP to the five girls and I hope that the killer rests in pieces (Whiskas Oh So Get Revenge On The Sicko Meat made from the murderer's body. I would buy it for my cat too)
I cant help but notice that in your profile you fail to mention your year of birth.Quote:

Eventually. It took five bodies to turn up before an order was made to send in help and not worry about finance. That's about a week after they started to report three girls certainly missing and another one unaccounted for, and the first body turned up, isn't it?Quote:

Why are you getting in a tizz about support from other forces? Mutual aid is available at the drop of a hat. There is a database that contains a list of specially trained staff and experts available for Police to call upon whenever they need. There is also mutual aid available in the form of regular officers who can be called to assist with regular duties whilst the local officers are seconded on a major investigation. Suffolk would have taken the steps to ask for assistance as and when they felt it necessary.
Finance can be an issue sometimes - such as the crazy amount of money it cost to police the G8 talks at Gleneagles last year - but money isn't an issue when something like this is concerned. Forces can ask for financial assistance from the government retrospectively. I heard that my own employer is seeking some extra pennies to cover the cost of investigating the worlds biggest cash robbery this year - which is an ongoing major investigation.
