Since the board has gone a bit quieter over the last several months I have been listening to YouTube videos on murder cases, solved and unsolved.
After listening to hundreds of them, (and I just let the computer select the next for there are thousands of investigations covered over the years), I'm wondering if I'm learning anything that might help solve the McCann case.
Without a doubt a lot of murders are committed by family and people known to the family.
There also seemed to be a high proportion of repeat offenders especially soon after being released from a previous stint in prison.
But the one group that has surprised me are these serial killers who can clock up 25, 50, or even more victims before getting caught, and then often because they had not completed the job correctly and they were identified by one of the victims.
So how were these cases listed on the police files, were they just missing persons?
If they pick up a stranger, and take them in a car to some quite deserted location and they kill and bury the victim, they seem to get away with it. They are particularly hard group to catch.
I have become mindful of how important DNA databases are and I came up with this thought that all deceased persons should have their DNA taken and that their DNA profile should be stored for the purposes of familial DNA matching.
Would that be possible? What do you think about that?
