Calling it a safe suburb when one of the most notorious serial killers had called it his home. The Birnies, another notorious serial kiler team had used Stirling Highway as their trawling avenue.
Numerous murders, and obvious large scale crime.
Quite the opposite a safe suburb, one the most dangerous suburbs to live in the country.
20 years difference between Cooke and Cutler is where we are today. The point was, as we sit here today, those people int he area knew of the Cooke era. Many of them had been through the Cooke terror.
Eric Edgar Cooke, nicknamed the "Night Caller", was an Australian serial killer. From 1959 to 1963, he terrorised the city of Perth, Western Australia, by committing 22 violent crimes, eight of which resulted in deaths.

Serial killers and more serial killers attributed to the immediate area. Safe suburb is a perception and opinion, not reality.
Homeswest and large scale flats have always been an issue in the area.
I totally agree. I don't think people were living in fear. I think the public had become more conscious of the threat, and some girls were still taking risks going home with boys they didn't know.
But sure, parents were probably more concerned and some required a meeting before you could shoot of with their daughter.
Ciara's undoing I think was her recent return from Ireland. Although we haven't heard if accused has met the victims yet.

Sometimes I cannot understand why some of the stuff is written in these forums
Eric Cooke was executed in 1964 ... Julie Cutler went missing in 1988 ... I would not call that close to her disappearance
Homewest being in an area is irrelevant to this case , the suspect and victims were not homeswest residents to my knowledge
Drug use is a problem in all areas , it is the access or lack of that causes problems with drugs
I have worked in antique restoration in the past and been in many Claremont homes that were not on the river , I would not describe them as working class ... but I have not been in every home in Claremont
As for people living in fear , the venues were still crowded , that rules that out
On the Homeswest issue ..Scarborough was built as a Homeswest suburb for the returned soldiers of the Korean war ... did that stop anyone going to the beach
