CASE NOTES
by Brub Nicolai
THE CRIME
The strangulation of seven young
women along the west coast
March: a girl on skid row. She was the first we found. Initially we didn’t think she was part of the case - she is not of the same caliber as the other girls, but the crime is the exact same
(27)
April: a nice, normal girl - young, attractive. (27) Why on earth did he kill her?
From Wilshire
From then on: one a month, except august. What was he doing then? Have we not found someone?
No common theme, never the same neighbourhood. (27)
Mildred Atkinson - a nice girl like the others (except the first) (28)
This is very frustrating, like hunting a needle in a haystack (27-8)
Los Angeles is TOO BIG
MOST RECENT: Betsy Banning
How devastating! Little Betsy Banning.
Silver lining - no sexual crime. What has happened for the killer to decide this??
all of which associated with public transport,
and who work
All women of the public sphere - rise of attitudes against women working. Women hater???
A majority of the victims show signs
of sexual assault
Potential link - Brucie from England
similar crime, she was strangled and raped
This is worrying me slightly - what about Dix
THE KILLER
What we know:
and ordinary sort of man (131)
having asked at teh drive in, they said he was a nice looking fellow, nice clothes (132).
He could be ANYONE - just an ordinary guy.
He has a car - the locations bodies have been found are too obscure for someone who doesn’t.
He is well off, he has nice clothes. (132
Lochner’s input:
He believes he’s an ex serviceman (he or reckons its ten to one that he is) (132)
Also that skid row wasn’t his first time - this worries me in regards to Brucie’s case.
He’s a mugger, and he strangles with his arm (77)
Hes from the east. I am trying not to think about Dix here but its getting difficult.
SYLVIA’S IDEA
Sylvia has confided in me that she thinks there is something wring with Dix. I would trust that woman on anything - she sees everything and knows everyone - but Dix is my best pal!
After this most recent case the BAnning girl I must go to Dix for an informal interview, this is too much. She looks just like Brucie for Christ’s sake!
LAUREL’S CONCERNS
This is the final straw. Dix’s girl Laurel was at the club the other day and she approached me with very troubling news - Dix was nearly violent with her the other day.
I doubt know what it is about women and their hunches, but this alongside Sylvia’s concerns about Dix is just too much. He will be dealt with.
