We had three adult males in the house at the time (not that they'd be involved), none were questioned. We sighted a few police cars in the area, but that is all. Several of my friends who are close neighbours to Ms. Gleave were not questioned either. The Police also never visited the post office, general store etc.. as far as I've heard, and I asked. <br /><br />Also, I said there are mostly deciduous trees surrounding her home, I obviously meant coniferous, just to clarify.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-13459124281623142742012-01-11T20:58:12.929-05:002012-01-11T20:58:12.929-05:00Hey.

I'd like to thank you for that. I posted regarding the offender in my latest update. The fact that he gets around on a bike, and there is a trail so close to Audrey's house only strengthens my interest in this character - let's call him "The Hamilton Stabber." <br /><br />I'd say he has a paraphillia called piquerism. Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piquerism. Notice that most attacks are directed at the groin, breast or buttocks. What was the one area of the body where we know clothing was removed from Audrey Gleave? The lower half of the body. Also according to FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood (either in his book "Dark Dreams" or "The Evil that Men Do", an inordinate amount of offenders who sexually attack and murder elderly white women are black. Bike/Bike trail + piquerist/stabs to lower body + black man/elderly white female victim = Damn good suspect. The one thing that comes into question is: after brutally butchering a woman, could such an offender de-escalate to non-fatal drive by stabbings? It seems unlikely, but as of now, there don't seem to be any better suspects on the radar.<br /><br />You say you live 5 minutes from the Gleave residence: did the police ever interview any members of your household to find out which males were staying there during the time surrounding the murder? If they did, did they come back and get an alibi?Lee Mellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235399611951671501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-70556745207196721012012-01-11T18:45:18.241-05:002012-01-11T18:45:18.241-05:00I'd like to add some insight as to the geograp...I'd like to add some insight as to the geography of the area, as i've lived my whole life about 5 mins. down the road from the gleave residence. I have no criminal profiling experience whatsoever. <br /><br />Audrey's home can be accessed by Lynden road, requiring a less than 5 min. walk across a field, then maybe 30 secs. through the trees surrounding her house. It can also be easily accessed from Indian Trail with no one noticing. There is also a large field on the left of her home with a small fringe of trees surrounding her house. There are little to no street lights in the area, and a bike trail leading as far as Toronto a few mins. down the road. Her home is almost entirely surrounded by trees, mostly deciduous, so it would still be concealed in the winter. <br /><br />There has also been a recent onslaught of attacs in Hamilton lately, the attacer being described (and caught on tape) as african-american, around 25 years old and over 6 ft. tall. He has been seen waiting on the sidewalk and then pursuing and stabbing radom men and women, then taking off on bie or foot. One attack, that was caught on tape, was entirely carried out on a bike. He seems to lack the intent to kill though, only causing superficial wounds and not sticing around to see the result. I can also say the young man who discovered Audrey is definitely not the culprit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-66694330660711848382011-12-21T04:45:35.756-05:002011-12-21T04:45:35.756-05:00I'd like to begin by apologizing for my tardin...I'd like to begin by apologizing for my tardiness in approving these comments. Recently I have been totally immersed in proof reading the PDFs for Cold North Killers, and to be honest, I just plain forgot.<br /><br />To the person who wrote the second last comment: I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on the point of the offenders age. I see the overkill as resulting from a fusion of pent up sexual frustration and anger, also possibly a paraphillia called "picquerism." <br /><br />Having now stood outside Audrey Gleave's house in the winter, I can honestly say it is obvious to anyone that it is the PERFECT location for a murder. You can't see any of the house except a peep of the garage from the road. For this reason, I don't think we need to factor in an older man's wisdom when it came to picking the crime scene. There's something intuitive about the location which is hard to describe unless you stand outside it yourself. If you haven't, I really recommend doing so. <br /><br />In answer to your question, I am making an educated guess that "what was taken" was, in fact, a body part. Hence the unparalleled brutality of the murder referred to by the police. Frankly, I think a portion of the buttocks or genitals was excised.Lee Mellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235399611951671501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-82276608893410124922011-12-15T13:40:41.433-05:002011-12-15T13:40:41.433-05:00Wasn't Chalk River a place where the swingin&#...Wasn't Chalk River a place where the swingin' sixties happened, and femilies paid the price?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-85877441649496941752011-11-23T14:55:27.078-05:002011-11-23T14:55:27.078-05:00Why an Older rather than a younger killer?

Good question.<br />The murder which was so brutal and horrific tells me that the person had to make sure that she was dead,(overkill), so that she could never tell. He detested her, and was also very afraid of her all at the same time. Also, the time spent in her garage killing her, he knew that he was not placing himself at great risk of being discovered, as oppossed to a stranger as he was very familiar with Audrey's habits, background, and even how she was viewed in the neighbourhood. <br />And again, it comes down to Audrey's death prediction. Audrey was by all accounts not an easy person to get to know, and so to my way of thinking it would take a sharing of past history there, in order for Audrey to bring someone into her death scenario as a confidente. Taking all of the above, I would think that this person is older - <br />I have a question for you, and you may be able to help me with this one. <br />Audrey met and visited people in her garage or outside on a bench. <br />Yet, there were items missing after her murder.<br />Who would know what Audrey had? If they had never been into her home, or for that matter her garage? How would they know that anything was missing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-83598527936893062942011-11-20T16:49:36.765-05:002011-11-20T16:49:36.765-05:00I agree.

He would have been the first person they looked at.<br /><br />The missing item being a body part was an educated guess based on descriptions of this being the worst murder the investigators had seen, and the fact that the missing item was not identified. If it was a ring, for example, wouldn't it be more productive if they released more details about it. That way, if anybody was given the ring or had seen this item in somebody's possession, they could tell police? If a body part was taken however, they would not tell the public because 1) nobody would have seen the body part but the killer, 2) they want to keep some secrecy in order to rule out false confessions. I would be inclined to think it might be something like cash or Audrey's wallet, save for the fact that nothing was stolen from the interior of the house. If the motive was material, that is something I'd expect to have happened.<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, why do you think this is an older rather than younger offender?<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoy the blog and thanks for contributing :)Lee Mellornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-91107785557380644952011-11-18T15:30:58.241-05:002011-11-18T15:30:58.241-05:00Not necessarily towards the young man who did the ...Not necessarily towards the young man who did the yard work. It would be too obvious, and why would he return with a cake that his wife baked?<br />If he was being seriously considered, one would think that he would have been arrested by now.<br />To my mind, the killer and Audrey did have a history of knowing each other, and over a period of time.<br />I wonder what the souvenier was? I wonder if it could have been a simple thing, such as a ring?<br />The comment of the souvenier was given more as an after thought in the article by Jon Wells, so if it was a "body part" one would think that would have made major headlines with Jon Wells' reporting of it.<br />I agree with you that the killer is/and can be dangerous, if placed in similar circumstances.<br />Would not be surprised if he has shown a quick temper in his everyday life. May be married, but if so, it would be one of convenience, and rather loveless. May still be tied to his mother as well, and resents it. I think older, not younger, and not necessarily living close to her home.<br />Definately has seethed with inner rage for a period of a very long time. Perhaps he felt ridiculed,put down, humiliated by the victim, and discarded as an individual from her past. <br />I enjoy your blog - read it often.<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-44925843005799734282011-11-17T23:35:04.850-05:002011-11-17T23:35:04.850-05:00Sounds like you're leaning towards the univers...Sounds like you're leaning towards the university student who did yardwork for her.

If it is true, the only connection I could make now is YOUNG....like you and the Cops say. And I say it is someone that knew her, or knew she lived alone....and someone close by. <br />I am very much interested at this point about the handy man that was immediately cleared, but now the new Cop on the job is taking a harder look at him. I think I will say: With good reason. I just watched an interview with him and his young, beautiful, I might add, wife. I thought his actions were innapropriate since he was being interviewed right after Audrey's Funeral. I posted the links on Unsolved. If my guess on his address is correct, he lives 8.1 km from Audrey's. (canada411). Also, I do not like the fact that Audrey's dogs NEVER warmed up to handiman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-33567979262697936922011-10-28T17:51:53.244-04:002011-10-28T17:51:53.244-04:00Thanks for commenting!

However, if I've underestimated him, your scenario certainly is plausible. I'm a bit of a skeptic, so I would say that Audrey "knowing" she would die is statistical. I imagine there are many women who live with the fear that they will be murdered, but we never hear about the ones that aren't because their phobias never come into the spotlight. Given enough time, the laws of probability will produce a murder victim who previously thought she might be killed. What we have to keep in mind is that there are probably many other women who possess similar feelings. If they happen to be murdered, it will seem like a psychic ability, when in reality, it's just coincidence. I'm not sure who bought the home. Do you think there could be a material motive to this crime?Lee Mellornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597020683197035848.post-6256852347334261212011-10-11T20:05:09.331-04:002011-10-11T20:05:09.331-04:00Great read, once again!

He was being pushed by his mother to go and succeed, as she was/is paying his way. And he was becoming unglued. I also think they lived fairly close by but he went back to school right after the crime against Audrey. <br /> What freaks me out about Audrey's death, is that this is apparantly how she knew she would die, one day. Wow,why did she know/say that??<br /> One more thing I am interested in, is who actually bought Audrey's house? I think I recall reading that it was a young couple from the area. I hate to be so suspicious, but I want to know more about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
