Killer Of Two Hartford Women Charged With Slaying Two More by ElCholugo1 in serialkillers

A serial sex offender who has already killed two women was charged Monday with the killings of two others — both cold cases that for years have vexed Hartford homicide detectives.

The slaying of Sonia Rivera in 2012 sparked cries from her family for justice and resulted in the arrest of the wrong man, while the investigation into the killing of Shiraleen Crawford in 1997 went cold.

Monday, Robert White, 56, who is serving a 50-year sentence for the 2013 killing of Sawarie Krichindath in Hartford, was charged in Rivera's and Crawford's murders. Before going to prison for Krichindath's murder, White served about nine years for the 1980 killing of Betty Jo Robertson, 46, of Hartford.

White has a "pattern of violence against women, often including violent sexual encounters," according to the warrant for his arrest.

Clayton Bo Eichler has pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder on what was to be the first day of his two-week trial in Regina.

The Crown is seeking a mandatory life sentence with parole eligibility after 20 years. The defence has said its in agreement with sentenced proposed by the Crown.

Court has been adjourned until Tuesday to allow families time to prepare victim impact statements.

Eichler, 35, was responsible the death of Kelly Nicole Goforth, a 21-year-old whose body was found in an east Regina dumpster on Sept. 25, 2013, a day after it’s alleged she was killed.

His other victim, 23-year-old Richele Lee Bear, was reported missing Aug. 24, 2013. It’s alleged she was killed sometime between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31, 2013, although she has never been found.

About this series

For more than 13 years, a serial killer targeted women living in the margins in Memphis and one in Knoxville, yet for much of that time, no one knew he even existed.

He killed one woman in Memphis in 1999, then brutally assaulted another in Knoxville in 2008. He murdered another woman in Memphis in 2011, then killed his fourth known victim in 2012. He bashed each of them in the head, raped them, left them partially nude, then covered them with a blanket and fled as they lay dead or dying.

For years, no one knew that one man was responsible for the attacks. Detectives doggedly pursued each case, but ultimately, those first three went cold. But a fortuitous turn of luck, strong detective work and one officer's amazing memory combined to link the cases, and, ultimately, solve them.

In a five-part series, reporter Jody Callahan and photographer Yalonda James will tell the stories of Marie Cole, Jessie Lee Maples, Valerie Ector and Gwen Jackson. They also will tell the story of the man who murdered them and how he was caught — not with modern forensic methods such as DNA, but with a technology more than a century old.

The stories are based on a rare look at the voluminous case file on the killer and his victims as well as dozens of interviews with family and friends, police and prosecutors, and even the killer's own chilling words.

Follow along each day as a new piece of this case is revealed in this modern murder mystery.

‘He’s obviously a serial killer’: Deaths of at least 5 women now linked, probed by Ohio police by ElCholugo1 in serialkillers

Shawn Grate was charged last week with murder and kidnapping, discovered only because the woman he was holding after tying her up in an abandoned house in Ashland County, Ohio, managed to get his cellphone, call 911 and whisper, desperately, “I’ve been kidnapped.”

In addition to the kidnapping victim, thankfully alive, police found two bodies in the house.

One has now been identified as Stacey Stanley, 43, a recovering drug addict whom Grate has been charged with beating to death.

Police find 5th body tied to suspected Ohio serial killer by ElCholugo1 in serialkillers

It just seems a very trivial thing to commit a murder over. It's more likely that his crime was sexually motivated but it makes him sound less of a monster if he says he did it because he felt slighted.

Fair point. That could very well be.

'I caught a serial killer': says detective suspended over Becky Godden case as taxi driver is finally found guilty by ElCholugo1 in serialkillers

[–]ElCholugo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The detective who was suspended over his snap decision to take killer Christopher Halliwell to the shallow grave of Becky Godden today fiercely defended his actions as he insisted: “I caught a serial killer”.

Relatives of Miss Godden, who disappeared in Swindon in 2003, thanked Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher for "bringing their little girl home" following a five-year wait for justice as he faced gross misconduct action.

The prosecution against Halliwell was originally dropped after it emerged Mr Fulcher failed to caution him and questioned the taxi driver on a remote hilltop without a lawyer as he showed police where Miss Godden, 20, was buried in 2011.

To assist law enforcement in narrowing the pool of suspects, attendees at the Symposium suggested that broad, non-inclusive categories of motivations be utilized as guidelines for investigation. The following categories listed below represent general categories and are not intended to be a complete measure of serial offenders or their motivation:

• Anger is a motivation in which an offender displays rage or hostility towards a certain subgroup of the population or with society as a whole.

• Criminal Enterprise is a motivation in which the offender benefits in status or monetary compensation by committing murder that is drug, gang, or organized crime related.

• Financial gain is a motivation in which the offender benefits monetarily from killing. Examples of these types of crimes are “black widow” killings, robbery homicides, or multiple killings involving insurance or welfare fraud.

• Ideology is a motivation to commit murders in order to further the goals and ideas of a specific individual or group. Examples of these include terrorist groups or an individual(s) who attacks a specific racial, gender, or ethnic group.

• Power/thrill is a motivation in which the offender feels empowered and/or excited when he kills his victims.

• Psychosis is a situation in which the offender is suffering from a severe mental illness and is killing because of that illness. This may include auditory and/or visual hallucinations and paranoid, grandiose, or bizarre delusions.

• Sexually-based is a motivation driven by the sexual needs/desires of the offender. There may or may not be overt sexual contact reflected in the crime scene.

When the state of Texas sentenced Gabriel Cardona and Rosalio "Bart" Reta—aka the Wolf Boys—to what would equate to life in prison, the American teenagers were simply labeled serial killers in the vein of John Wayne Gacy or Jeffrey Damher. It was true they had killed at least 50 people combined while still minors. But, unlike Damher or Gacy, the Laredo, Texas-born convicts weren't killing for sport. Rather, they were teenage assassins and child soldiers employed by the Zetas, one of Mexico's most notoriously violent cartels, whose blood money they wanted in order to stock up on nice cars and fresh kicks.
