DEBORAH ANDERSON
24.01.2000, am - Deborah Anderson tells her father she is going to visit the South Perth Zoo. She borrows her step-mother's white Ford Laser. The step-mom needs to use the car to go to work in the afternoon and DA is supposed to return it before that time.
24.01.2000, 9:39am - Deborah stops at an ATM in Woodvale and withdraws money.
25.01.2000, 12:26am - Deborah's charred remains are found in the front seat of the Ford Laser at a shopping center in Middle Swan
* A few months later new forensic evidence revealed the vehicle had travelled to Geraldton and back on the day that DA's remains were found. (Since she was found at 12:26am, I assume the vehicle travelled to Geraldton on 24 Jan.)
* DA may have been spotted on Brand Highway/Great Northern Highway (assuming on 24 Jan).
Why would DA drive to Geraldton--a 4 hour trip, each way--if she knew she needed to return the car that afternoon? She supposedly had a secret older bf, but that doesn't explain taking the vehicle on an 8 hour road trip when she was supposed to return the car in the afternoon.
And what were the forensics that proved the vehicle had driven to Geraldton before it was set on fire?
Similarities to the CSK case:
1. Same age as the known victims. DA was 24 (other known victims between
17-27)
2. Perth suburb and same era
3. DA was last seen on 24 Jan, and SS disappeared on 27 Jan. Many of the disappearances and assaults on the Perth area occurred on holidays or on holiday weekends.
4. CG's claddagh brooch was taken by her killer. DA's engagement ring was taken by her killer.
What pattern did you point out Spooks between DA and the known victims? [emoji846] I missed it.
