Serial killings: Unsolved, and unpublicized, slayings of women fill FBI files

GREETINGS,

   THE EXCERPT WHICH PRECEED THE ARTICLE ARE ALL TAKEN FROM, ” THE FALL OF AMERICA “,CHAPTER22—-

  ” The great country of America and her great richness, great institutions, and her great towns and cities, spread out like a blanket over the surface of the Western Hemisphere with her tall buildings going upward over a hundred stories! The great architects and building engineers have become such experts at building to precision that it makes their past history of two and four thousand years ago look like child’s play.

 Her land is shadowed with the wings of her many planes which cover her almost like a cloud. The great and wonderful work of science on the earth and in the air, her great mighty fleets afloat on the high seas (on the surface and below the surface), her great scientific mechanical communications system! Yet with all of this might of skill in engineering or building, the country of America displays and practices more savagery than any civilized country on the earth. And all of her educational institutions are not enough to make a man so intelligent and proud of his education and of being an American citizen that he would not practice the same savagery.

 There is no such thing as law and order. The law is disregarded, as though it were thrown in the jungles to be carried out by savage beasts. Murdering, killing, robbery, raping, and drug addiction are the only law and order that is respected.

 It has become such a country that the civilized man of intelligence and decency is afraid to walk the streets of the vast towns and cities of America. He would be more secure in the jungles, around and in the midst of wild beasts than to be walking in the streets of these great cities in America after night.

 Groups of robbers and murderers, killers, and dope addicts are prowling the streets after night to exact their evil intentions upon the innocent. This is a mob of savages that the intelligent and decent women should not dare venture out among. And if we see such women walking around, they are part of this savage people.

 It has become dangerous even for the girl and woman to be standing alone in any unprotected place, day or night. Rapists lurking around bus stations and robbers also and thieves are at such stations, and with such conditions existing in a so-called civilized country like America, this is the worst name that could be applied to her.

Police, detectives, and FBI all are here; but these daring savage acts are committed right before their eyes and ears.”–pgs.99&100

Authorities in Indiana and Ohio have launched investigations into suspected serial killings after a Scripps Howard News Service study of FBI computer files found many alarming clusters of unsolved homicides of women across the nation.

Also, police in Nevada confirm for the first time that they are hunting a likely serial killer who has targeted up to seven women, mostly prostitutes, and has scattered their partial remains across three states.

Many of the suspected serial killings detected in the study have never before been disclosed to the public.

All told, authorities in seven cities have confirmed that a statistical analysis of federal crime files conducted by Scripps has detected known – or strongly suspected – serial homicides in their communities.

The study was based on computer records of 525,742 homicides committed from 1980 to 2008. The FBI provided most of the data. But Scripps supplemented these using the Freedom of Information Act to obtain detailed records of 15,322 killings that local police did not disclose to the federal government’s entirely voluntary crime reporting system.

The resulting database – which crime experts say is the most complete accounting of homicide victims ever assembled in the United States – was created to determine if serial killings could be identified among the nation’s 185,000 unsolved homicides.

“I remember we had three of them, all elderly women who were strangled,” said Lake County, Ind., Deputy Coroner Jackie DeChantal of a series of unsolved killings about four years ago in the Gary, Ind., area. “I remember talking about it then. We couldn’t get anyone else to say that they were connected.”

DeChantal has since reviewed coroner’s case files and added three more suspicious homicides to a list of 14 strangulations identified in the Scripps study, some dating back to the early 1990s. She plans to review the cases with investigators from the Gary Police Department.

“We thought it was just odd when they happened,” she said. “Why would you kill somebody old like that, unless you were robbing them? But that didn’t appear to be the case at the time.”…MORE HERE
