Am I missing something here? Same scene, two different angles. The article and the “What to look for” link say the woman seen standing near the pole (carrying a dark item of clothing, identified by the articles as Rimmer) acknowledged the guy who came into  frame at 17sec, then she “simply vanished”. Yet I think she’s present on screen the whole time, next to (and sometimes obscured by) the lamppost in front of the disabled parking bay… If I’m wrong, someone please show me the error of my ways…

Wow you really studied it. Couldn’t make sense of what I was supposed to be looking at either. Glad it wasn’t only me. But I’m thinking - the police have no idea who committed these crimes.

Or at least not enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. Maybe we should give Dexter a call =)

Did they even catch that killer from a few months ago, the Kings Park one? have they ever caught a killer here?  They need more police, I never see any cops nor, sor is a different story though ;)

And yes that video is pretty useless.

More police won’t solve these high profile homicides.  What they need is to attract better quality police officers - I wonder how many of those that graduate in the top 10% of year 12 or university ever go on to walk the thin blue line.  Even then, catching these killers is likely to take a good ounce of luck.  As the forensic guys often point out, it’s not like CSI.

Why don’t they get one of those psychic detectives? Would have been all sorted in a one hour episode. Sheesh!
