As I have said in the other crime threads, New Zealand has it's own serial killers, but like every country in the world, before the first big ones are identified, the culture is to deny you have them.
Case and point, Citizen X, the movie about Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo.
If you have not seen that film it is one of the best crime movies ever made.
The Russians refused to believe that their society could have the American disease = serial killers....primarily because they (not unlike NZ) refuse to believe their people are like that, and therefore they never look logically at their missing persons stats.
Eight thousand Kiwis are reported missing annually.
Ninety five percent of cases get solved in the first two weeks.
Sounds good right?
Except that leaves over seven hundred cases.
Some will be solved beyond the two week mark, sixty of them will be solved as murder cases.
But the many thousands that are never solved do not get talked about by our Police because what can they do?
The Police are not served well by some random like me pointing out that many hundreds are never found year upon year, meaning thousands in a decade.
Even though we all should be well aware by now that this country has more than one Serial killer operating un detected in any era, and by now we will have dozens.
We are like the Mayor in JAWS, tourism and Safe NZ do not need someone sniffing around into the permanent disappearance of hundreds of people who are never seen again.
Even the cops know we have serial killers, but like I say, what can they do apart from promote the line that they on top of the problem and lie and say we do not have a serial killer problem....even though they know we have....but denying it works.
The sixty solved murders a year should tell you that out of that sixty at least a couple of dozen were not first timers, and maybe in that group the Cops do weed out, you could say at least half a dozen have killed multiple times before they were caught.
If you Google New Zealand serial killers Hayden Poulter comes up (bit of a joke that our only acknowledged serial killer is a clown I used to look after from the nineties).
What are we expected to believe here? that people keep going missing and that serial killers are not a problem...only the one that was caught nearly thirty years ago?
This is while we know serial Killer Travis Burns who the police paid out and gave a secret identity was then allowed to kill another woman....while the cops refuse to admit he had killed before.
The cops will never admit that they were conned into using him as a secret witness in a crime he committed.
Nigel Latter tried to out Travis Burns and I would like to have a chat with him one day about the dozens of other serial killers our cops refuse to acknowledge and therefore allow to continue to make many hundreds of NZ'ders disappear every year, which adds up to thousands of Kiwis per decade.
It is a bloody outrage but there you go, NZ is celebrated for selling itself as some bullshit Pavlova half acre paradise.
This is a country that has children tortured, burnt with cigarettes and beaten to death, yet suckers believe we have no Ted Bundy's here.
