Hello,

Here is some rather interesting news on the serial killer front. Police in
the city of London, in the privince of Ontario, Canada, say that they have
found new evidence and leads regarding as many as TWENTY unsolved murder cases,
dating all the way back to 1956! They are now saying that there is a good
chance that a serial killer has been stalking the area, and claiming victims,
possibly over a TWENTY-SEVEN YEAR time period, beginning in 1956 and ending in
1983! Wow, this is BIG news, even though there is no CONCLUSIVE evidence that
all 20 of these unsolved murders are linked.

All of the 20 killings took place in a very limited area, around the small
city of London, population only 300,000. The very first victim in this POSSIBLE
serial killing spree, was a 5 year old girl, sexually assaulted & then
murdered, way back in 1956. The 5 year old, Susan Cadieux, was found in a yard,
during cold weather, with FROZEN TEARS running down her cheeks! She was
apparently crying AS she was murdered. No arrests were ever made in that case.
Police say that this possible serial killer targets young girls, although
future victims were in their teens. There may be 2 different serial killers
involved in this 27 year long series of girl murders, but police do seem fairly
confident a serial killer WAS involved in a MAJORITY of these 20 slayings!

15 detectives have now been placed with a task force, for the specific
purpose of further investigating these unsolved and very possibly linked,
murders. Investigators have new DNA evidence, along with crime scene
similarities and "patterns" within the killings, that strongly suggest a serial
killer was involved. I just love to think about a man, in 1956, raping &
killing a 5 year old girl, and then embarking upon a 27+ year serial killing
career, with the cops never even figuring out that there IS a serial killer on
the loose, much less making an arrest!

The killer apparently stopped killing in 1983. All 20 victims were slain
between 1956 and 1983. This leads investigators to ASSUME that the killer might
have died or been arrested for a different crime. I think it is JUST as likely
that the SK decided to retire, and bask in the glory of a beautifully
successful 27 year killing career.

It's interesting that these 20 victims were killed such different ways, some
were shot to death, others stabbed, others strangled, other beaten to death. 10
of the 20 killing occured between 1967 and 1969, which may have been the PEAK
of this fellow's killing career. That does make sense, with the killings
beginning in 1956, slowely increasing in frequency until there was a burst in
1967-1969, and then the rate of murder easing off, until finally coming to an
end in 1983.

Nothing like a set of articles like these, on a successful and prolific
serial killer who was never caught, to perk up my spirits.

Take care, JOE

TIPS SOUGHT IN UNSOLVED KILLINGS

THE 20 LONDON AND AREA SLAYINGS TOOK PLACE BETWEEN 1956 AND 1983

By Roxanne Beaubien -- Free Press Crime Reporter

  A special police team investigating 20 unsolved London and area slayings
spanning almost three decades turned to the public for help Wednesday.

 Last month, 15 officers from London police and provincial police began the
task of reinterviewing witnesses and family members of victims found beaten,
stabbed, strangled or shot between 1956 and 1983, said Project Angel
co-ordinator OPP Det.-Insp. Mike Coughlin.

 Since the task force, which first went public last summer, began going through
the old files more than a year ago, links have been made between three cases,
Coughlin said.

 Some connections

 London Deputy Chief Jim Balmain said the three linked cases are among the 10
unsolved murders between 1967 and 1969 and are connected by the method of
killing or evidence at the scene, not by suspect.

 Without elaborating, Coughlin said those three cases also have been linked to
two other murders outside the geographic area covered by the project.

 But even if those cases were the work of one person, there is no need for the
public to panic, Balmain said.

 Nothing recent

 "We've had nothing recent, which would indicate that the killer's either died,
been locked up or moved away to some other part of the county," he said. "Those
are angles that we will be following up."

 Modern investigative techniques such as DNA testing, databases and behavioral
profiling give investigators hope they will crack the old cases.

 "It was decided that this was probably the last best chance of apprehending
any offenders" responsible for killing the people whose photos are still on the
walls at London police headquarters, Balmain said.

 "These were targeted for potential similarities," London police Chief Julian
Fantino said of the cases. "We're looking for common denominators in every step
of the investigation, obviously" he said, adding he's not ruling out a serial
killer or killers, but said it's premature to make any conclusions.

 Last August, The Free Press reported project investigators were beginning the
process of getting DNA and forensic evidence -- available in most of the 20
cases -- tested at the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto. Some of those
results are back, but Balmain said none of the DNA suspect profiles matches
each other.

 The youngest victim and oldest case is that of five-year-old London girl,
Susan Cadieux. Her sexually assaulted body was found the day after she
disappeared in January 1956.

 At 66, Irene Gibbons, the oldest of the victims included in the investigation,
was found strangled in the bedroom of her Strathroy home in August 1975.

 Nine of the deaths were in 1968 and 1969. Sixteen of the victims were female,
half of whom had been sexually assaulted. Two of the females, 16-year-old
Glenda Tedball, last seen near her Thedford home in 1967, and 31-year-old Irene
MacDonald, last seen in 1978, have never been found.

 Victims were found in various locations in London and surrounding areas,
including Port Burwell harbor, St. Williams and near Tillsonburg.

 Body parts of Priscilla Merle, 21, were found in Kettle Creek north of Port
Stanley over a three- month period after she disappeared in 1972.

 Only skeletal remains were found of 15-year-old Soraya O'Connell four years
after she was last seen leaving a drop-in centre on Fanshawe Park Road in 1970.


 The two forces are splitting the staffing requirements and salaries for the
project, Balmain said.

 Coughlin refused to say how much the provincially funded investigation is
expected to cost. The project has secured funding for this year, he said.

 Anyone with any tips can contact the project office at 686-2552 or Crime
Stoppers at 661-8477 or 1- 800-265-4444.

 Victims of the unsolved crimes

Canadian police renew old murder probes

LONDON, Ontario, Feb. 4 (UPI) _ The Ontario Provincial Police say they have
found new leads that could help them solve 20 murder cases going back more than
40 years.

Police investigators said today the murders all took place near or around
London, Ontario, a town of some 300,000 people about 100 miles (160 km)
southwest of Toronto.

The OPP says the unsolved murders include the sex slaying of 5-year- old Susan
Cadieux, whose body was found in a London yard in 1956, with tears frozen on
her face.

Investigators have not released a complete list of the victims, but say they
includes 16-year-old Jacqueline Dunleavy, who died in January 1968. Her body
was found in a ditch.

They also include 15-year-old Jacqueline English, murdered in 1969 and thrown
nude into a creek, and 17-year-old Donna Jean Awcock, whose body was found in a
dam in 1983.

Police suspect the 20 cases may be linked and could be the work of one or two
serial killers.

The OPP have put together a team of 15 detectives who have been working on the
cases over the past year, though Detective Inspector Mike Coughlin says
investigations of murders ``are never closed.''

He says police keep looking for the killers, no matter how slim the chances are
for an arrest.

He says investigators have DNA evidence, or ``genetic fingerprinting, '' along
with other materials collected from the scenes of the crimes.

What is new is that investigators are now applying techniques that were not
previously available, including databasing, and police have sent many of the
samples to the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto.

Coughlin says investigators have found a pattern in the killings, but there is
no conclusive evidence yet that the murders were the work of one or two serial
killer.

Science could solve murders

London police hope new advances in DNA testing will lead to killers in old
cases

By Nick Pron
Toronto Star Staff Reporter


LONDON, Ont. - Homicide detectives are hoping that modern science will help
them make arrests where old-fashioned police work failed in the slayings of 20
people in and around this city.

In what is believed to be the largest reopening of old murder cases in the
country's policing history, detectives have turned to the crime lab to pinpoint
some killers from the several hundred DNA samples of hair, blood, skin tissue,
semen and saliva now being analyzed.

``We're going to give it our best shot at solving some of these murders,''
Ontario Provincial Police Detective Inspector Mike Coughlin, head of Project
Angel, told a packed news conference yesterday.

``I'll guarantee you we'll solve as many as we can.''

While no arrests are imminent, Coughlin said investigators have targeted
several hundred people they want to talk to about the slayings, which took
place between 1956 and 1983.

At least three of those murders are linked, the 27-year OPP veteran told
reporters.

Coughlin was just 7 years old, and lived in nearby St. Thomas, when 5-year-old
Susan Cadieux was abducted from a London churchyard in January, 1956, molested
and then left to freeze to death.

Years after, he said in a later interview, he recalled his parents talking
about the murder that shocked London at the time.

Among the other 20 murder investigations probed by a team of 15 detectives from
the OPP and London police department are:

• Margaret Sheeler, 20, of London, left her home abruptly in December, 1963,
after arguing with her husband, and vanished. Her body, clad only in a blouse,
was found nearly a month later in a field about two blocks from her home. She
died of a blow to the head.

• Frankie Jensen, 9, of London, disappeared while on his way to school in
February, 1968. His body was found two months later in the Thames River, near
Thorndale, clad only in an undershirt and shirt. He had been clubbed to death
on the side of the head with a blunt object, possibly a brick.

REMAINS FOUND

• Lynda White, 19, of Burlington, disappeared in November, 1968, after writing
a French exam at the University of Western Ontario, in London. Her skeletal
remains were found five years later near St. Williams. Her clothes had
mysteriously been bundled up and tossed under the bed of her home soon after
she vanished.

• Soraya O'Connell, 15, of London, vanished in August, 1970, after telling
friends she was hitchhiking home from the Fanshawe Youth Centre around 10 p.m.
Her remains were found four years later at a dump near Stratford.

• Priscilla Merle, 21, of London, was last seen getting into a station wagon in
March, 1972. Her body parts were found soon after, starting with her left arm
in Kettle Creek, near Port Stanley. It was severed by a power saw, police
believe.

• Irene Francis Gibbons, 66, of Strathroy, was found in the bedroom of her
house in August, 1975, with tissue shoved down her throat. She had been
strangled. The tissue in her throat was similar to three other murders.

London police Chief Julian Fantino said later he was optimistic that some of
the killers would eventually be ``brought to justice.''

The chief, himself a former Toronto homicide detective, said that finding the
killers would help to bring closure to the families of the victims.

Fantino said that detectives never forget unsolved homicides, even after they
retire.

Two of the investigators on Project Angel came out of retirement to help in the
manhunt - Jim MacIntosh and Merv Johnson, best friends, one-time partners on
the London police force and both former deputy chiefs.

``I felt I owed it to the families, the victims and the community to do
something, to help out in any way I can,'' MacIntosh said.

``It has always bothered me to know there was somebody out there who shouldn't
be free,'' said the 62-year-old grandfather, who worked on several of the
slayings with Johnson, including the 1968 murder of Jacqueline Dunleavy, which
is also being investigated.

Johnson, 63, said he was thankful for the second chance to hunt down the
killers, saying that he would be satisfied even if only one of the 20 murders
was solved.

London Deputy Chief Jim Balmain said it was possible that some of the killers
have long since left the area, or even died.

The suspect in the oldest of the cases, the 1956 sex murder of Susan Cadieux,
would be in his late 70s if he were still alive.

Balmain said that since 14 of the victims were from London, officers on the
force were taking the unsolved case very personally, saying ``it is something
that sticks with you . . . never goes away.''

`LAST CHANCE'

Project Angel, he said, may be the ``last and best chance'' detectives have to
find the killers. The task force name, he said later, comes from the term
Guardian Angel, and ``pretty well sums up how we feel about these cases.''

OPP Detective Superintendent Larry Edgar told reporters that the unsolved
slaying of Lynda Shaw, 21, who was murdered near Highway 401 during the Easter
1990 weekend, was not one of the 20 cases and that her murder is still being
actively pursued by other detectives with his force.

He said the task force, which was organized by the OPP, was using major case
management techniques developed by his force, along with computerized databases
that list, for example, other sex murders.

Yesterday's huge news conference, attended by some 30 media outlets, was the
first official briefing to the media, although the task force was formed over a
year ago.

Detectives said they wanted to be sure of which cases they would pursue before
asking for tips from the public on their hotline, (519) 686-2552.

Although promising further briefings to reporters, Coughlin refused to say
where the team had its office. He said his team didn't want to be hounded by
reporters.

There are at minium two killers here and likely some singeltons in the mix.
Only a paranoid skitz kills both young and old and they can't last that long.
We have at least a pedophile and a normal and maybe a gay too. Remember the
rule," They kill what they fuck, or want to."

Hello,

I would agree that it's unlikely all 20 victims, over the 27 year time span,
were harvested by the same killer.

>Only a paranoid skitz kills both young and old and they can't last >that long.

Here we start to disagree. Your blanket assessments of serial killers
represent the height of arrogance. Every serial killer is UNIQUE, and your
attempts to categorize killers into neat little boxes are pathetic. On the
other hand, it is good, from the killer's viewpoint, that so many police and
other investigators have these types of narrow and false perceptions. This is
helpful to the killer, in terms of avoiding capture.

>We have at least a pedophile and a normal and maybe a gay too. Remember the
>rule," They kill what they fuck, or want to."

Sorry, but your rule is ridiculous. Every serial killer is motivated by their
own unique life experiences. Many killers have absolutely no sexual component
to their acts. Some don't even masturbate afterwards. But go ahead, keep on
trying to throw all serial killers into your neat and narrow-minded boxes. All
that accomplishes is it blinds you to important and useful facts.

There are no "rules" on a person's True Reality. Every killer is unique and
experiences their homicidal motivations from their own unique perspective.

Take care, JOE

They aren't my boxes, they are their boxes, I just observe.

There are three which each fits into
1 Normal, kills what he fucks, men women or children. " He was a quiet
child."

2 .Nurse poisioner, kills those in his or her care. " She took such good care
of them."

3 Parinoid skitz, drooling crazy, hears voices, kills men, women, whatever
moves. " Everybody thought he was a little odd."

He or she may think that he of she is unique but he or she probably hasn't


studied over 400 cases over 400 years. The patterns are clear.

and

It is true that you sometimes don't understand their motives till they tell
you. Sometimes they don't know themselves.

Hello,

No, they are your boxes. You are looking at specific cases, and then you are
generalizing about ALL serial killers based upon your preconceived notions,
which are validated by a FEW cases. From those few cases, you choose to
arrogantly make proclamations about "all serial killers", and you blanket
assessments are simply false.

No, there are serial killers that do not fit into any of these categories.

Studying patterns does nothing more than give you the facts of what each
killer did. It does not provide insight into the True Reality motivations of
each killer. And if you truly have carefully studied 400 serial killers,
without BIAS, you would see that plenty of them do not fit into your three
categories. Although if you are BIASED, it is easy to place all killers into a
broad category of "paranoid schizophrenia", and ignore the FACT that 75% of the
serial killers that you have chosen to place in that category do not suffer
from clinical paranoia or schizophrenia.

>> and
>>experiences their homicidal motivations from their own unique >>perspective.

Sometimes they do know, and choose to NEVER share their innermost core
reasons with anyone, for as long as they live.

Take care, JOE

Because of my nom de net some say that I'm only a computer code. Some
who know me think that I'm a softie.

The only way to study, learn about and solve crime is in cold blood.
Use your heart, and you become a bleeding one or a vengence seeking fool.
You can see examples of this on this NG.

If it is any comfort to you, I sort of blew my stack at Andrea the other
day. ( My reply to FUCK YOU GEORGE...) I don't think that people caring
out their duties should be blamed for laws which the people support. Blame
the people. After studying serial murder for about 18 months, my partner
and I had to take time off because the brutality was getting to us. So, much
as I might like to be Spock, I'm human.

FWIW, I think LO52964 is one of the most insightful, concise, on-point posters
in this group. The ability to be coldly analytical doesn't mean one is a cold

You, Steph.

I'm sorry for the tone of my post. So then you actually at one time felt
sorry for someone you busted? Have you ever show leniency? (Cause you seem
like a stick to the book type).

If this was for me, and I'm not sure it was. I reply with an old Ross
MacDonald line. Chick,"What are you some kind of crusader for justice?"
Hero, "No, I'm a crusader for mercy, but justice is what keeps happening to
people."
