Australia Claremont Serial Killer, 1996-1997, Perth, Western Australia - #7 *ARREST*

[styzr]

I've actually never been asked for my name when booking a taxi. I do however live in a smallish town so there isnt much of a queue going on.
I think he was nearby watching people call or tapping the calls then just offering a lift or maybe pretending to be the taxi they were waiting for.
What color are the taxis in perth? I know they are usually white everywhere I've lived.

The taxis in the 90's were all white with black writing. Always a Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon. I remember them always asking for a name as I would be prepared to agree to whatever name they called just to get a taxi quicker. Perth was notorious for long waits for taxis compared to the eastern states.

The story might be worth a listen imo thanks cb65

.

Yeah I'd be really curious to hear about some more. Was gonna e-mail him ages ago before they discovered BE but chickened out.

Yes they are the photos I couldn't figure out how to load

I find it interesting that one of the girls in that school photo become a well respected Perth Lawyer while Bradley Edwards become a serial killer, oh how the journey of life takes different roads!

He still achieved a fairly respectable career too, unfortunately he had an extremely shocking hobby also.

I knew he was a 'telstra tech' but didn't realise he had a second job? Tell me about this other well respected job he had?

Interestingly a Barrister with expertise in Criminal Law. Good grief.

And seemingly is married to a Supreme Court Judge.

[emoji888] hi, this is my virgin WS input.
what a secretly most vile life this perp has led, and all that time managing to keep himself off the radar - it's almost a certainty his charges are the tip of an iceberg - everyone now pondering exactly how he has whiled his alone time, and how much else he may be responsible for.
—obviously not all of the following,
but plenty of reading and food for thought here —

Remember he would have only been 30 so to be fatherly would have been a stretch...

I think he would have charmed them. If he is indeed the guy from the CCTV footage, look at the reaction in JRs face. In a matter of seconds he's made her comfortable.

I don't think he pretended to be a taxi at all, nor hacked phone lines. Think he just waited in the right place, said the right things and off they went

For SS, she had already had called a taxi and was waiting for it. He would have only a couple of minutes to chat her up and convince her to abandon her taxi and come with him. Possibly, but unlikely.

For JR and CG, again possible, but given it was known girls were going missing from Claremont you'd think they would be more wary by that point about getting lifts with random guys.

Has anyone discovered how long he was married for/year he got married?

Sarcasm noted but Electrical Engineering Superintendent for RioTinto Iron Ore isn't exactly the equivalent of living in your parents basement.

For zoom in shots

Hopefully this is correct guy - going from info ( #potr's ) link to gosnells high school archives . If it's wrong let me know quickly

It's actually the dude on the right in that high school photo. One with the glasses.

Just imagine how many cases could be solved if the amount of people visiting this site now............... put some time and effort into some of the other unsolved cases?

 

[cantbelieveit]

I thought it was him in the pic - but there is another taller guy to the left of him in the back - reckon that could be him instead?

Forgive me, I'm new here, do the police actively trawl these forums, or have these forums led to any break throughs?

 

[cantbelieveit]

There's a name missing in the school photo - i.e. teacher - then 3 students, then there's a 4th person in back - I think it's the tallest guy at the back

Do you know that for a fact?

 

[mandy.maree]

I'd be trawling through here if I were a detective. New insights..ideas I maybe hadn't thought of. The more people who get together and brainwave their ideas ,the better.
I've seen so many interesting theories here. Some very smart and dedicated people

Some people on here (not me) spent a lot of time discussing previous attacks.
