gestures to the written board. “Stella McQam’s number was carved in to the right hand, so was Madison Albrook, whereas all the other victims had their numbers carved into the left hand. This could indicate a second killer if this is deliberate. Stella McQam was stabbed in the heart whereas the other victims had their throats cut.”
Bullface hates herself right here, for just being able to talk about the victims in such a way. She doesn’t see them as humans anymore, they are just victims.
“I know we are tip-toeing around Shannon Leona’s death but …” It almost seems like a crime to say Shannon Leona’s name out loud. No one wants her to be called a victim. “Both Shannon and Adelina had been stabbed repeatedly whereas the other victims were unmarked. This indicates that the killer went into a frenzy with these two women but not the other victims. Maybe an individual factor about these particular victims prompted this or maybe it was because with the other victims he … they had less time.”
“So you think there could be two of them?”
“Right now, there is no evidence to suggest there is just one killer or that there are two or even three killers. We need to consider all possibilities.”
“Have you researched into the victimology?”
“So far we cannot find a connection between the victims, they all vary in appearance, age, profession and hobbies. His youngest victim was nineteen, his oldest hasbeen thirty-eight. None of them shared similar facial structures, hair styles or colours.”
Bullface has the victim’s profile pictures on screen now, flipping through them slowly. First comes the artist’s facial reconstruction of Jane Doe 217, then a blurred close up of Jane Doe’s face, taken from the only photo they had. Jane Doe had long black hair and evident bruising across her face. Then the picture of Fran Lizzie, a young girl with short brown hair and big green earrings. Then the older Adelina Sasha, still a striking face with long brown hair and green eyes. Stella McQam scowled at the room, from a photograph taken by the police, an ugly figure with false dyed blonde hair and sharp cheekbones. A flash of ginger hair as Bullface quickly shows Shannon Leona’s face to the flinching officers. Isobel is a smiling crazed contrast, pulling a face into the camera. Then the serious face of Madison Albrook stalks into view, the picture had been taken of her studying, glancing down at a book through thick glasses.
“Visibly, these women have nothing in common, both Shannon and Madison wore glasses, Fran Lizzie wore contacts. The victims Jane Doe and Adelina Sasha show that he is not sticking to one race either. All these victims had different jobs, Fran Taylor worked as a sales assistant, Adelina Sasha was an office clerk, Stella McQam was a prostitute, Shannon Leona …” Her voice drops slightly. “Isobel Hilarie was a first year art student and Madison Albrook was a second year criminology student. Though they studied at the same university, so far they appear to have no other connecting factors. The assailant may not have even known that they were students. None of the victims lived in similar areas or were members of the clubs or societies. The only thing that these victims have in common is that they are all female. I would also like to mention here, that so far every single one of these victims have had the contents of their purses taken. Since the credit cards have not been used, I believe he is taking these items as trophies. It is possible that when we arrest the assailant that he may have these items in his house or nearby. He has also taken photos of a least one of his kills, maybe more. Anyone searching a house of asuspect should look for these items.
“I think we are looking at an assailant or assailants who kill when the opportunity arises. They don’t pick a victim but rather they pick a location, the dump sites have been mostly isolated areas implying the assailant has knowledge
