I didn't realise Dirty Harry was inspired by The Zodiac Killer.

Fair play. That’s some sterling work.

I watched a video one of the guys made on it. It was written with the first letter being one down and two across and it continued all the way to the end like that. Not sure what he did to write the last letters.

I had a feeling it was based on something real life but not that case specifically.

I was glad they focussed on the victims and the cops (not that they really did an awful lot, save find shoe prints here and there...), Ramirez really creeps me out.

Watched that this week. He was a mad cunt. Bit of the Cavani about him.

Fucking relentless, wasn't he? Striking two or three times a night. Most serial killers do one every few months, this cunt was on steds.

And random with his killings aswell. Men, woman, old and young, throw in the noncing also and yeah, bit of a bad penny.

They referred to it as “I don’t think it was his first rodeo”

Without wanting to get into the death pelanty argument, the cunt was on death row for 23 years until he carked it.

 

If anyone deserved to be sent on his way early it was this cunt.

Quote

By the time of the trial, Ramirez had fans who were writing him letters and paying him visits.^[120] Beginning in 1985, Doreen Lioy^[121]wrote him nearly 75 letters during his incarceration. In 1988, Ramirez proposed to Lioy, and on October 3, 1996, they were married in California's San Quentin State Prison.^[122] For many years before Ramirez's death, Lioy stated that she would commit suicide when Ramirez was executed. However, Lioy eventually left Ramirez in 2009 after DNA confirmed he had raped and murdered 9-year-old Mei Leung.^[123] By the time of his death in 2013, Ramirez was engaged to Christine Lee, a 23-year-old writer.^[

Watched that last night absolutely appalling the way the women who were murdered were treated.

Well that was till the Ripper killed Jayne McDonald who according to the police was an "innocent victim"...

I guess it doesn't matter if it's West (who were the force investigating the Ripper) or South Yorkshire police involved they are still a gang of horrible incompetent cunts 

I read a book years ago written by the son of the first victim. It really brings it home the effect it had on one family let alone all the other families. I think he had 3 siblings and none of them had a good life, alcoholism, prison all sorts.

He also said every time there was a new victim the papers would put up the pictures of all the victims and, of course, his mum being the first one, it happened again and again. Shocking.

On the same theme - I’m sure Nilsen’s victims weren’t given too much sympathy at first because most were gay men.

Charles Sobhraj (The Serpent) deserves a mention. Partly for the possibility that he was involved in the murder of circa thirty people, but mainly because he pulled Jenna Coleman.

Just blitzed through night stalker and the Yorkshire ripper documentaries. Compelling and harrowing in equal measure. Had no idea about the stories of either, the fucking incompetence of the police was outrageous in the Ripper story. 

 

Why are serial killer stories so fascinating? Evasion from the law and the path to their eventual capture, I guess.
