Hi everyone, I'm back again. I did see the news about the girl who is packing up and moving back home. I kind of came in half way so I didn't understand if she was still going to LSU and just moving back home- that would be one long drive everyday. I thought that it was unwise for her to change her plans that much because of this, but like the police said- "Do what makes you feel comfortable and safe." Second of all, she was moving back home to Covington- I think. That is about an hour- more or less from Baton Rouge. I don't know anything about serial killers but this one seems like a coward and if he does strike again- I don't think it will be near LSU. Maybe some of you know experts who would know if he would strike in this area to make everyone more enraged or if he would move on.
I know ya'll are probably getting tons of tips to be safe, but I thought I would add some more. I posted on another message board and a man emailed me back. I'm only passing along what he sent me, and I'm unsure about the effectiveness of some of his tips. Here it is.....
There are many forensic scientists watching the investigation in BR very carefully. Yesterday I sent a copy of my book, Catching Serial Killers, to the Chief of Detectives in BR along with a lengthy letter containing some investigative suggestions. It is my understanding that FBI help has been requested and is probably in BR right now. I have offered my help, and I believe many others who have dealt with these kinds of cases have too.
In the meantime, I would suggest that you all take a firearms safety course and arm yourselves, get a cell phone and keep it by your bed. Keep your bedroom door locked. Buy a baby monitor and place the transmitter outside your bedroom door with the monitor near your bed. Put dead bolt locks on your doors. Install and alarm system, or if you cannot afford that, go to Radio Shack and purchase motion detectors for your windows and alarms for your doors. They aren't very expensive. Also I would have security lights w/motion detectors around your houses in dark areas. If you are a dog lover, and have time to spend with it for years to come, I would get a good watch dog like a German Shepherd. I would also have a man's voice on your answering machine ... perhaps your Father or brother could help you there. Just put your last name on the mail box. If you are really scared, it might be advisable for two of you to sleep in the same room ... call it the buddy system. And keep in mind, the murderer is obviously scouting out potential victims before he attacks. He knows that the victim is living by herself and there is no man there to protect her. He is quite probably window peeking. The times they usually do this is when women are getting ready for bed and early in the morning when they are showering, dressing, and getting ready for work. In addition, watch yourself as you are getting out of your car going into your house or apartment. Do not let him slip up behind you and put a knife to your throat or a gun in your back.
Thus far, the only information I am getting on this is what is on TV and in the Lansing Journal. Could you please send me clippings from the local newspaper re: this case? Or at least give me the telephone number and name of the newspaper in BR so I can call them.
My snail mail address is:
Dr. Earl W. Krueger James J.D.,Ph.D.
Int'l. Forensic Svcs., Inc.
P.O.Box 80242
Lansing, MI 48908-0242
I know that you are frightened, but if you do the things I've mentioned above, I think you'll all get through this okay. I hope I have been of some help.
