TELEVISION TRAINING FILMS FOR SERIAL KILLERS

I am very much in two minds about the never-ending array of serial killing reports that appear on the TV channel Crime Investigations. There are reports daily on the killing of young girls.

These reports warn young girls in the USA of the dangers of the street from young sex workers taken by a killer at night to young girls on their way to school.  Parents are warned to take care of their young children in danger from paedophile killers.

Young girls die as sex workers, hitch hikers and innocent shoppers in supermarkets snatched in the car park. The TV reports 20,000 unsolved murders of young girls in the USA in 2017.

But that is not as gruesome as the numbers of murders in Latin American nations, the result of killings by the drug cartels.

These TV reports are also training films for serial killers. We learn that young female hitch-hikers are fair game for serial killer long distance truck drivers who rape and kill them before dumping their bodies over state borders.

The TV reports give criminals the insight into police procedures. In the USA, police will scour a neighbourhood looking for hidden surveillance cameras on shops and petrol stations, in supermarkets and schools. They can track a missing person from camera to camera street by street.

A suspected killer is often seen lurking in supermarket aisles looking for women and not buying goods.

We see the power of DNA analysis of tissue samples some having been stored for 30 years, There was no DNA analysis in the 1980s and 1990s but tissues were stored for over two decades.

We see the dangers of paedophiles seeking young boys and girls on internet and pretending to be young teenagers who ask to meet their victims. One young womqn arranged to meet a paedophile who was waiting in the dark to kidnap her on the front path to her house. She was taken for several months.

My daughters complain that I always want to know where they are going, with whom and when they will be back at the house. If they leave in an unknown vehicle and do not come back, I will have no idea of what to tell the police.

There are regular reports in Papua New Guinea of young girls raped and abused often by strangers, village men and family members.
