Holmes.

He attacked her from behind, one arm looping around her body while his right hand forced a cloth gag into her mouth, silencing her before she had time to understand what was happening. Davis, seated on a wheeled office chair, was terrified, certain in that moment that her life was in danger. Her attacker was tall and powerfully built, and he had come prepared, cable ties already sitting ready in his pocket. Pinning her arms to her sides, he began dragging the chair, with her still in it, backward toward the bathroom, saying nothing at all throughout the assault, his silence somehow more unsettling than any threat could have been.

Victims were chosen opportunistically but matched specific fantasy criteria involving age, appearance, and physical build. Nothing was left to chance. He would prepare a specialized kit with tools, restraints, and tape, carrying it in his vehicle. The profile painted a solo operator; he was intelligent, strategic, lived within about five kilometers of Claremont, and was intimately familiar with its leafy streets and the remote, forested dump sites. He killed before disposing of the bodies, ensuring absolute control to the end.

Police had at this time gained tunnel vision regarding a suspect named Lance Williams. He had volunteered, insisted actually, on being given a polygraph test. He supposedly failed this test as it showed anomalous scores after he was asked if he was a serial killer. Here I would like to pause for a brief moment, dear listener, and comment on something. Polygraph testing should, in my humble opinion, be banned from use by law enforcement. It is pure pseudo science, complete hogwash, bogus, humbug, unfiltered quackery that has probably caused immense suffering inflicted upon innocent men and women over the years. A polygraph test simply measures stress and anxiety in its subject. Blood pressure, sweat and heartrate. It does not, and I repeat, does not read the subject’s mind.
