The case record, part 3 of 3: the arrests, and the question nobody will answer.
Is it one killer? Everyone asks me. Here are the main answers officials and experts have given in three weeks, what the three cases with arrests look like next to each other, and what the record cannot tell you. Part three.
Thirteen women, thirteen places, and eleven points where the reporting disagrees with itself. Part two from the record: the map, three suburb mix-ups, the dates that moved, and the one that moved on my own map too.
The police say twelve. My register says thirteen. On one day in September three officials gave three different numbers. Part one from the record: what each count included, what it left out, and why it kept moving.
