The right ear of  J. Paul Getty  the third is delivered with a ransom note that caused the payment of a 2.9 million dollars ransom.

Today, a clue revealed.

A Halloween night murder in Armstrong BC is one step closer to being solved as a DNA link to an assault on an escort service worker in Kelowna  has fielded a artists description of the suspected murderer. This according to The Province paper. A source had said that a letter to the police had come promising  more of the same . An the paper is reporting that they think the man has left the area.

A taunting murderer Terry Driver was eventually caught by his interaction with the police for  a crime in the lower mainland area of BC. Boasting and curiosity of what the police are doing about crimes is a dynamic that people that do profiles use to isolate types of personalities when trying to find a criminal.

Opinion: While it is great to have a sence of liberty if you are a vulnerable target take personal safety precautions such as be out in the company of friends and not alone and vulnerable.

The Federal Bureau of investigation opens its crime lab in Washington

camers high tech, low tech

low tech,
This file picture from last year shows a low tech fingerprint collection. The collection is going on within 50 feet of new red light cameras installed with new street lights. The crooks had pushed the safe out of the building and abandoned it in the middle of the night. And sidewalk. Low tech criminals involved? They may have tought that with all the debit and credit card transactions their heavy labour may not have been worth the effort or risk.
The low tech policing in front of the new cameras seems exaggerated. To any that care. Since the Province had begun a pilot project in 5 communities to see if cameras in downtown cores relived the crime rate, and here was not one of them.
No one caught as yet ,that we are aware of; one might wonder how much time the police are spending.
The new coalition government in England has recently promised to oust camera surveillance to some degree there. A good balance to the artificial creation of life in the papers, reported by the Vancouver Sun. Life from DNA recipes activated from recipes stored in researchers computers.
The curse of” may you live in interesting times” seems is getting more and more credibility.
