Description:

Imagine a crime scene in a patch of veld the size of two rugby fields. It is strewn with twelve female corpses in different stages of decomposition, all virtually naked, all strangled with underwear. The identities of the victims are unknown and some of them have been reduced to skeletal remains. Physical evidence has been destroyed by the weather. No fingerprints, no footprints, since the rain has washed these away; no hair or fibres, since the wind has blown them away. No semen, since the perpetrator used condoms. The murder weapons were the women's own clothing and could thus not be traced to a suspect. The women's handbags and any other form of identification has been removed. No witnesses, since the area is remote. The bodies were found by a man walking his dog in the veld; the dog picked up the scent of the decomposing bodies. If you were the investigating officer in charge of this crime scene, what would you do? How would you go about catching the killer? Profiling Serial Killers and other crimes in South Africa provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject.
