Entertainment & Music Cold Cases

I find cold cases fascinating, the oldest case in US was a 7 year old girl who was murdered in 1957. A mothers confession and a train ticket solved it and caught the killer. Anyone watch this, I recommend this, it will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Gripping.

Taken: The coldest case ever solved

But we have our own cold case in Western Australia that was recently solved after 20 years, "Claremont Serial Killer". They finally got him.

Man charged over Claremont serial killings

 

I thought this was going to be 'show us your chilly box'

 

I guess no one is into cold cases....??

 

I dont drink beer anymore

 

The wife loves true crime shows. I've seen a few tv shows about the Tamam Shud case - Wikipedia doubt it will ever be solved but quite the mystery.

 

I don't drink beer any less either.

 

@MTR sorry you asked?

 

Your right but the fact he has been charged is a big one, because DNA is a match, let him worm out of this one... it won't happen

 

Not at all.... makes me realise no one is interested in this stuff, same as my family.... lol

 

I think it's amazing, just haven't read or watched much about it recently, missed the news. Thank god some people are interested in it though and catching killers.

 

Just finished reading the article you linked. Then googled - seems the case was re-tried and he was let out in April tnis year after 5 years in prison.
Did you say you were watching it on something?
If I could start my life again, there are 2 things I'd do that I haven't done this time around: become a dancer and become a detective. Wouod love to be a detective!

 

not so the bustard did it. If you have fox work through it, he raped his sister, I have no doubt he did it, plenty of evidence to back it... also why would mother confess on her death bed
still in jail. thankfully.


Anyone on PC been watching this?
watch it and report back..

 

Wylie I particularly disliked this coverage/topic a disaster..because the media has ripped it apart and its total spin for the sake of a story and ratings, and no conclusion just innuendo .....lost interest in this within 10 minutes ...just my opinion

the cold case I posted has been solved and details the evidence why I found it fascinating, maybe others will disagree ?

 

I read it (the video is a bit hard to watch when I'm distracted) and find it interesting.
In the way the article written, I find it quite convincing that he did it. Though it could also been a very big misunderstanding - awkward people usually viewed very differently by others. Some of the character description is subjective though it is then strengthened with other testimonials.

I don't read cold cases in general unless it's solved, as otherwise it is a story without an end.

 

Spoiler Alert... dont read if you dont want to know.

I actually watched the police interviews twice now, the killer was the next door neighbour's son and at the time police never interviewed him, they stuffed up. The mother protected her son, and gave false information to the police at the time. The guilt got her at the end, hence her dying confession.

The 7 year old murdered was with a friend at the time and she actually ended up identifying the killer straight up from a photo police provided. There are so many other factors that link him to the murder, I have no doubt.

My mother was the younger neighbour who got off the tram at the same stop as Betty Shanks in Brisbane in the 1950s. I now understand why she was so neurotically over-protective of me. She has been interviewed a few times in the last twenty years by two authors who have written books about it - I read Ted Duhrs' book "I Know Who Killed Betty Shanks". It gave me the creeps.

The person in question has long since died, his daughter has come forward with significant information but there would not be any evidence as he had her destroy it at the time. The man was never a suspect at the time - it is his daughter's linking of various pieces of information that drew her to the conclusion. Her statements were ignored by detectives for many years until a retired journalist from the case recently took it up.

This doesn't involve a murder case, but the DB Cooper case is one of my favourite unsolved crimes.
