  • @jenniferlonnes7420

    I'd say the killer was of sound, calculating mind when committing this awful crime. The fact that money and other purse items were missing, Scanlon's comments to colleagues, his grip of cash at pub that night, his propensity for violence against women...
    With so many suspects, it seems ripe for solving.

    What a horrific tragedy for this family. I cannot imagine the horror this young mother of 5 must have gone through as she realized she was going to die, with her baby in the next room. Nor can I begin to comprehend the lasting trauma her children, who found their mother murdered in such a heinous way, have endured throughout their lives. It is frustrating to know that this is still a cold case. Perhaps all of the forensic procedures and sciences that have developed since this murder will now play a part in solving this crime. May her dear soul be resting in peace, knowing the effort to find the monster who did this to her is still ongoing. 🙏

    I worked at Head Quarters Support Command (HQSC) Victoria Barracks in Melbourne, when this horrendous murder occurred. HQSC employed many personnel in several buildings in St Kilda road. I remember vividly when one or two witnesses were brought into our building with detectives when all servicemen were required to put on their hats and the witness was required to scrutinised every serviceman to rule them out as suspects. It was surreal being so 'closely involved' in such an horrendous crime. Over the years I've often thought of Mary-Anne and whether advancements in DNA and genealogy DNA could expose the perpetrator.

    I find it hard to believe that a crime of such brutality didn't cause the killers DNA to be left at the scene. .... Wasn't there also a cigarette end at the scene thought to be left by the killer?
    It makes me think that either the police know more than they're letting on, _or_ the crime scene forensics have been botched, contaminated, or lost.

    I'm not sure if the number of wounds can be reliably used to determine anything, about the attackers mental or emotional state, beyond their intention to end the victim's life or not.

    • @pulaski1
      @pulaski1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Multiple "frenzied" wounds are commonly thought to be the result of personal anger with the victim, though that clearly isn't always the case. .... And while a knife may just be a weapon of convenience, especially in a home (almost all kitchens contain a knife suitable for stabbing), a knife attack is also often associated with a very personal attack. ... You have to get up-close with the victim, and covered in blood, if you're going to stab someone.

    The missing handbag (as opposed to just emptying it of valuables), sparing the baby and lack of sexual assault makes me wonder if the perpetrator could be a woman?
    I also wonder if Mary-Anne was nude due to being in the process of dying her hair - I don't dye my own but when I've had other female friends/family members do it, they're often just wearing a towel to avoid staining clothes and so they can just jump in the shower to rinse afterwards. I wonder if this was a known habit of Mary-Anne's?
    If this is the case and said towel was never found, it may have been used to bundle the stolen items together and/or wipe and conceal the murder weapon.

    Once again, those poor kids! That poor little angel crying alone in his cot. Heartbreaking. That construction crew being at both murders is just too coincidental to me. If one of them REALLY didn't do these awful things then it seems unbelievable to me that not a one heard or saw ANYTHING. Especially since one of them HAD been talking to her about her complaint. RIP Mum. I hope her loved ones are doing as well as they can. Thank you DC🙏🏼💔🕊️🦌🪽

    I would imagine if any of the ‘road crew’ were involved, some physical evidence would have been left behind. Remember, that type of work is very dirty. Hence, dirty clothes, shoes and body. No mention of the ‘perpetrator(s)’ cleaning up the crime scene. Time for some of the evidence to be released to the public. After all, holding back so far, hasn’t helped.

      I agree it’s unlikely to be one of the workmen, too many clues would have been left behind, I’m in my sixties and live in Melbourne, when this happened the newspapers and on TV news were full of it, Mary Anne wasn’t sexually assaulted so could it have been a woman ? why was the gate left open ? I think the police know that someone is holding back on info but now that person is in their twilight years they’re hoping they’ll talk, such a heartbreaking tragedy, why do that to a decent human being, hope we get answers one day

      That’s perfectly understandable and I’ve often felt the same way. That said, it’s important to remember that these stories are more than just a means of conveyance for our daily dose of catharsis. We can’t reduce the lives of these victims to just feel-good hits of righteous comeuppance. The lives of unsolved murder victims are just as worthy of being shared and remembered as those who’ve ultimately found some modicum of justice and resolution.
