One thing I don't think that interstate or international visitors to this particular forum thread will understand is that Perth is (and was) more like a big country town than a proper city. Especially during the 90s.
I don't want to rub you up the wrong way but this just isn't true. The only people who would say that at the time are people visiting from bigger cities like Melbourne, Sydney or London.
The population back then was approximately 1.1m people. Bigger than nearly all US cities outside their top 10. Bigger that all UK cities outside their top 3. To suggest it had a country town feeling and everyone knew each other is absurd.
Typically around the Claremont nightlife scene, there is a bit of a everyone knows everyone feel. Despite claims to the contrary The Conti and CBV are the domain of the 6 private schools that service the area. No different to a biker bar in Rockingham - they attract a certain clientele.
The fact is there is one or more people sitting on the identity of the serial killer.
Let's not start calling guesses fact. Not only is it not a fact but it's highly unlikely. On one hand it's unlikely that someone with knowledge would not come forward on this one and on the other hand, given the perceived organisation of the CSK it's unlikely he would have told anyone.
Friend of mine who was formerly incarcerated at Casurina Prison, W.A also has speculated to me that the CSK is currently behind bars for serial rape. I personally see this as conjecture. But worth taking into account too. Apparently this guy has bragged in prison about being responsible but there are no shortage of nutters who want to claim responsibility for Australia's biggest unsolved murder mystery.
Macro would have gone through this with a fine tooth comb. Perhaps this is where "known sexual pervert" appeared from?
2. As an organised serial killer, he is particularly adept at appearing for all intents and purposes 'normal', (this combined with LW's history of depression and mental illness rules him out to me, the guy seems anything but normal,)
The only mental illness he has is depression. Typically undetectable to a stranger unless you're standing on top of a bridge ready to jump.
I've met him a number of times. He just came across as a loser with no mates. There was nothing abnormal about as you suggest. His eyes weren't rolling, his mouth wasn't frothing, he didn't have turret's. He was just a normal guy and the only thing stuc out about him was he didn't dress or look like an ex-private school boy.
3. Based on the fact that the police and peer reviewed research into serial murder in Australia refuses to mention the manner of death or the exact number of victims I think it is highly likely that the CSK is a sadist (that is, gets off on inflicting suffering on other human beings,) and would have prefered the intimacy of strangling or stabbing the women to death.
1. I doubt they know how many victims. They probably have a prioritised list and aren't sure which ones are CSK and which aren't
2. Evidence strongly suggests throats were cut and the CSK is not a sadist
This combined with the taunting call that was made to Don Spiers after Sarah's disappearance confirms (to me at least,) that he is a sadist.
You seem to be picking some unconfirmed theories and assuming they are fact whilst not others. Any reason why?
4. Possible other victims in W.A include Julie CUTLER, Lisa Jane BROWN, and Sarah McMAHON
SM is highly unlikely.
5. Due to the overwhelming evidence demonstrated to me through my research,
I'm not seeing it. At all.
I'm working on my own time line and stuff so I'll post what I come up with.
You're going to find if you assume unconfirmed theories as fact as your baseline, the further you extrapolate off this base, the further you get from the truth. I think you need to nail down what is fact and what isn't first and then work from there.
