He drove her about one hundred fifty miles. North to the shores of lake texts. Homer at some point. sexually assaulted Christie and strangled her to death, then he dumped her body into the lake

Meanwhile, back in mesquite investigators scoured the area for the missing girl, but they had virtually no leads. They were working solely off of the information given to them by the two children who witnessed the abduction, the young This could give only vague descriptions of the man who took Christie as well as his are still. thus to gaiters did the best with what they had over the next couple of months The authorities offered rewards took calls from psychics unplastered posters all over the once sleepy suburb, but by the end of March they started losing hope of ever finding Christy then on April. Third, all that changed well, fishing in a remote cove of Lake text Roma to fishermen spotted what they thought was a dead animal floating near by. They approached the object, with the entire to toss it on the shore and get it out of the way. However,

when they got close. They realise that it wasn't an animal went all. It was a child. The men called the yes and law enforcement came down to examine the body. Unfortunately, it was so badly decomposed. It was difficult to even determined the body sex. When medical examiner got a better look, they ruled that they were indeed staring at the corpse of a little girl, one that match that perception of Christie, makes. Unfortunately, dna testing wasn't yet available in nineteen. Eighty five, so the authority put in a request for Christy's Dental records.

Meanwhile, David PEN, was right under their nose once more prowling this urban streets of Dallas. He was thrill to have gotten away with this murder and was eager to kill again, however He wasn't about to us in letters him get in the way of his craft rather jumping right into his next attack David big. A year long process of careful research and planning. He of through multiple towns and discovered that unsupervised kids were most prominent in lower income working class neighborhoods. This is likely because, their parents works all hours of the day and often couldn't afford child care. The result of these youngsters were left to their own devices, so when deciding where to grab is next victim, David selected, the Oh income area of North Dallas,

on the morning of February 12th, one thousand nine hundred and eighty six twenty eight year old David was parked on waterfall lane when he noticed ten year old, Tiffany, Berra alone on her way to school, while she usually made the track with some neighbourhood. Kids, this more She was running late and they left without her David knew. This was who could have an opportunity to pass up he popped out of his man? Then he approached Tiffany ready to tempt her with some made. Ups It's even though David had a smile on his face. Tiffany sense tat. The man was dangerous, as he got closer she started to run, but David was faster. He easily grabbed her by her backpack cub. her mouth and carried her into his van after shoving, her at the back and climbing it behind her David prepared to move into driver's seat and take off he dollar. these scouted a secluded area near by worry planet

actually assault and murdered the girl. for some reason, David stayed put he stared at them. The need for several minutes watching as she shook with terror, then he did something incredible. He pulled out a bag phone or an early version of a cell phone and handed it to her. He instructed Tiffany too, her mother and tell her she'd been kidnapped. Terrified Tiffany did ass. She was told but ass soon, ass. Her mother started asking questions David snatch, the phone back and hung it up. Then he took Tiffany you better, not walk to school alone. Again, I've been watching you and then time. I won't let you go soon after that. He open door and let me go, he followed her she ran home weeping sped away ass, soon, ass. She walked into her apartment, complex, well, Tiffany, mother Teresa was thankful that her daughter was safe and sound. She

understandably, confused she'd never heard of it, Never letting some one go so fast because of that she suspect. did the Tiffany might be making it all up just to get out of school, Still she alerted police and told them what happened both the authorities and the above as drove around the neighbourhood searching for the Van Tiffany had described, but they all up short with no other Lee it seems. The police also wondered if Tiffany was telling the truth, then and if she was it appeared, the perpetrator himself had stopped the crime. As such, it's possible investigators hope. The predator had learned the error of his ways, and it would never do it again, unfortunately, That's not what typically happens so time, serial killers, simply let their victims go. While this act may seem to suggest that they ve turned over a new leaf, they usually end up killing again

ecologists and net and Frank Lockman explored this very phenomenon in their paper, the personification of evil. motivations and fantasies of the serial killer in it. They assert that fact see plays a central role in every aspect of a serial killers. Murder. putting the ones that don't pan out before taking a lie Many serial killers picture scenarios in which there is complete and total control over another human, which gives them a feeling of intense satisfaction after mulling over these daydreams four days or even years, they eventually find That there are no longer fulfilled by their own imaginations and half to bring these scenes to life. However, if something goes wrong in the manifestation of their fantasy, its dreamily difficult for them to continue things like this

physical interruption by a third person or revealing personal anecdote from a victim. Can let the proverbial wind out of the killer sales even something as simple as a victim not behaving in the way the killer anticipated can ruin the fantasy, a net and frank law men presume. This is because it indicates that the victim is a real person and some sort of inanimate objects that the killer can predict and dominate in these cases. The killer will usually decide to preserve his fantasy and lead the way go then start over with a new target. Of course one truly, no, why David decided to set Tiffany free, but in all like could she said or did something that destroyed his fantasy, and he couldn't bring himself to keep on going. However, that didn't mean his urges, were curbed forever. Just three days after letting Tiffany go here turned to waterfall lane in search of another victim.

Eggs he spotted nine year old Christie, Proctor walking home from a friends house, her friend accompanied her for a couple of blocks. Then the girl said good and Christie continue down the last bach by herself down when David struck he jumped out of his van and snatched Christie off the sidewalk in the fridge She dropped the Valentine's Day box in her hands and it tumbled onto the street, then David through Christie, into the van and sped off driving over the box, as he did so. Meanwhile, Christy's mother law

was worried that her daughter was so late after confirming with Christy's free that she had left on time. Laura outside to search for her daughter. She hoped to find Christy, somewhere along the route, simply distracted by a flower or a bug. But when Laura saw the crushed Valentine's day box in the middle of the street, she knew that something was terribly wrong. She read Tom to call the police and they immediately began their search for Christie. Unfortunately, they were ready to late. It's estimated that, after grabbing Christie, David drove but eight miles northeast to a remote field in Plano, Texas, there he sexually assaulted her and strangled her to death. Then he stashed, body, underneath an old, burned, mattress and left the seeing what happened next is anyone's guess, following misty murder. David fell off the grid for over a year and is what,

about or unclear until the fall of nineteen. Eighty seven on no Third, the twenty nine year old travelled to the Dell, a suburb of garland, where he spent the day lurking around in elementary school, eventually, he drove to a residential area and came upon three year old, Roxana Reyes and her five year old friend, who will call Anna, the guy we're picking wild flowers in the alley behind rocks ants apartment With no one else around David parked his car and hopped out, he approached drunk Anna with a friendly smile, Bernie told them tat. He had some candy for them in his car Anna was old enough to know about this trick. She told rocks and that the man was lying and instructed her to run up said David launched forever. But she was quick and darted out. Treat, however, when she looked back. David was closed. on her heels fortunate

and saw a narrow opening between two apartment buildings that David couldn't fit through and quickly laid herself inside D in growled with prostration then headed toward the opposite side of the apartments hoping to Anna she came out, but instead Anna David ran smack into an older resident named Wanda. The two eyes and David knew that, should he take the girl Wanda would be able to provide police with a detailed description of him. So he gave up angry and dejected David walk back to his car, but to his cries when he arrived back in Sudan. sand, was already standing there patiently waiting for the candy that he promised it was all perfect with adrenaline surging threw him David punch Roxana and through her in the car can later he was in the driver's seat, speeding away from the alley its thoughts, but David drove Roxana but

eight miles north to the town of Murphy, where he raped and strangled her. Then he despised dipper body in a remote area. It was We similar to the murders of Christie, makes an Christie proctor at this point it's safe to say that David had established a modus operandi. Targeted young girls between the ages of three and ten and lured them into his car, with the promise of treats them he drove do an isolated area where he sexually assaulted. The girls strangled them to death and love. Their bodies to be claimed by nature. In this way, David's behaviour is statistically consistent with other child serial killers, at least two studies on sexually motivated child abduction. Murders have confirmed that triangulation is the most common method of murder. They also US that most involve the use of multiple locations, usually with the intent of confusing or delaying police investigations. When the

victim is not a family member or close friend of their attacker to suggest that these abductions are performed opportunistic early, that is to say they aren't planned. However, in contrast, the disposal of the bodies is usually well thought out. Most of Killers attempt to destroy all evidence after the murder We need to ensure that the corpse is never found. for some reason: David operated this way only once when he discarded Christy mixing like tax homer, but after that, any effort to conceal its victims, bodies at all it was rushed in haphazard, used a mattress to hide Christie Procter and he didn't even bother to do any with rocks and re is perhaps he took comfort. In the hundreds of miles of distance he'd, often put between the abduction and dump sites or perhaps was beginning to feel invincible by night. Eighty eight, only one of his victims have been found. No one had linked it to him, yet

with no one the wiser he likely felt above the law which might explain why he made such a careless mistake. Bond Marge David returned to his home town of Columbus, Ohio.

and found Niger playing by herself on the front lawn know exactly what he said tonight together into his car, but whatever it was, it worked. She eagerly inside and David sped on What fifty miles north to the city of marrying Ohio, were you exited the highway and headed onto the deserted country roads. He spot the heavily shaded creek, just off the intersection of two of those roads and pulled over there. He raped, Niagara strangled her to death and tossed her body into water, your words.

Can into her, It's more. If anyone saw him with the girl residents could easily identify him since David

They also knew that he had a less than stellar reputation as he began to realize that all signs pointed to him he tied and his Rib on the wheel for first time in several years. David was worried. He was right to be just days after David killed. Nightrobe wanted. Other victims was finally discovered on April Third, the remains of nine year old Christie. Proctor were found in a field in Plano, Texas, because she'd been dumped there over two years earlier and because there plenty of animals in the area.
