The post about the CSK was made on April 5 or 6, 2013. Mel's link should direct you to the correct post.

The comment is one of the last comments made under the post. It shows up as July 2 or 3 (as of right now it is the third to last comment).
 
All of this is my understanding of from a Perth Now article, except the part after 'IMO'.

Mark Dixie was investigated by WA Police in relation to the Claremont killings but was ruled out by detectives, and UK authorities have been briefed on that.

Dixie raped a woman in Leederville, WA in 1998 but was not caught. He murdered Kelly Bowman in the UK in 2005. DNA collected at that time was used to connect him to the Leederville rape.

British police are highly critical of the WA police regarding Mark Dixie.

IMO: The article indicates WA police ruled Dixie out based on investigation, not DNA. Maybe they don't have Claremont DNA (this is a hot topic, I will post separately about it). The article also hints British LE thinks Dixie might be good for the CSK.

The attacks Dixie made seem incredibly unsophisticated (yet vicious). He jumped out naked from a bush and started screaming obscenities at a woman. I have a hard time seeing that person as the CSK. But if the comment Mel1303 linked to is true, then maybe Dixie is the guy.

Does anyone remember hearing any details from/about the bouncer? Not suggesting he's guilty or anything. Was his name Thor? Did he have long blonde hair or hair permed into an afro?

I just read a long, convoluted story and was curious.

Andrew Peter Garforth (Convicted killer of Ebony Simpson)


Andrew Peter Garforth is also suspected of the unsolved 1979 murder of West Australian teenager Felicia Marie Wilson, 19, of Kwinana, Perth. Miss Wilson, a former Miss West Coast finalist, was stripped naked and slashed before her killer smashed her skull with a 27 kg block of limestone as she walked home from work at the Kwinana Community Health Centre about 4.30pm on January 10, 1979. The manhunt went cold until the early 1990s when WA detectives received information from NSW police about a man who reportedly had nightmares about Miss Wilson. By 1994, NSW police had further information about Miss Wilson's death that linked Garforth, who lived in the area at the time, to the unsolved crime. The investigation is ongoing.

Mark Dixie is a nut. I don't even think he would have been able to pull off the Claremont killings had Hannibal Lecter been there giving him directions. His many crimes were similar to each other, textbook examples of disorganized attacks.

I agree, Dixie seems disorganised and a very unlikely suspect, although it is interesting he may have been working in Cottesloe, in one of the pubs SS visited on the night she disappeared.
 
I cant find any trace of this Thor guy except on the ancestry board. Both his christian name and his surname are distinctive, but I keep coming up blank.
 
Also on Trove (but not viewable online) is this interesting publication. As discussed up thread, it has been suggested that Sarah worked at BSD Consulting. BSD completed a review of the taxi industry in Perth in 1999.

And you can read another article, Are you a killer, asks police quiz here, along with an explanation of Deception Detection:

No doubt about you. That's excellent...keep going!
 
I keep telling plod they need to investigate all taxi drivers who left the Industry in 1997. Especially Italian drivers. Yet I am shot down in flames by Cuddy Dankers who cannot see what I am pointing too. Includes the SCS & others in the police service who watch this blog. Well ask the SCS who they recon is the guy in the Conti video?
 
Well I`m trying to find the post elsewhere, not on Big Footy either where a woman said the csk tried to fake an English accent but he was from Europe. Re the guy in the video, Well I don`t recon he is here at all. And I don`t think plod have a clue. They are most likely working on some faint dna atm.

The only comment I can find (outside of BF) is here: http://wildchild1962.hubpages.com/hub/The-Devils-Playground-Serial-killings#lastcomment3246976

I would love to see the comment you referenced.

I find it even more interesting that I have found several articles about this attack, but not a single image of the artist's impression of the attacker. I have read the articles and I feel it is highly likely that they are somehow related. But why can't I find any images of the 'attackers' face?

Frustrating!! The photofit is likely in The Mirror archives and the West Australian archives. The Mirror is £9.95 for 48 hours. I might sign up for that in the near future. The West is still on microfilm for 2002, so the only access is at the state library.

Still, it should be online somewhere...

The article from our posts says the attacker had a ponytail. Does that apply to any of our known POIs? Also,
this article says the girl was walking on Palmerston St. Is this considered a safe area?

I have seen this. But it is not me who posted a comment there. I never knew who SD was till more recently. I have said that b4.That wildchild link is not what I am after. I think the lady mentioned it on You Tube in a reply. Mentioned a guy trying to put on an English accent. I will find it but have not the time right now. BTW the JR footage, well he has a pony tail showing. Did you all not see that? I did.
 
Another change of the dynamics of the Deckchairs of the Titanic as of 5 days ago. The Captain of the polished ship way back originally had ideas.. Col that is. A bloke in Highgate with a plastic lined boot Col & team spotted, Fork in hell. Then the next in line was so focused he disregarded Cols theories & focused on a bloke going around in circles. The Cops eventually pointed their Heckler & kosh machine guns at their suspect when they had no other suspect. Ok, leaks to the media ensued. Chief suspect bolted down the hatches & waited. The Chief then fugged off to put out spot fires elsewhere that ensued... Then we had a good bloke,a damn good bloke, looking at the case along with his team. Probably the best who looked into it I`d say. Limited evidence of course. Links tentacled into several other murder cases of females in Perth came about after. But where did this end? Ok, some may say that slight DNA that might link to someone who tried on a dress in Claremont before the final buyer bought the dress... Was the CSK a party goer?, Did he have a ponytail? You really have to look at the Suburb & who could/ would have done this. Plus did he have a place nearby in the suburb or near that? Was he a Taxi Driver? Did he shove off when DNA as going to be asked? Was Dixie really in Claremont cooking up a dish & then doing what he did with Sally Anne Bowman et al repeated? I am putting this out as I am not happy at all with the Changing of the guard at the Special Crime Squad as of the last few days. The SCS lost a good bloke and IMHO That is where it will end at 19 years & 9 months.
