Hallo,
Thank you for allowing me to join this group.
I retired in 2013 and currently use my own finances trying to resolve a missing person case here in Texas that I have never been able to let go.
I have investigative experience, but my only experience with serial killers is personal.
I spent most of my more-than half-century-life outside the United States, and have never once voted in any election.
I don’t care about politics or religion.
I hate long walks on the beach and spend the majority of my time (when not out searching) sitting in a darkened room with a single small desk lamp.
CMLO are my four favorite letters of the alphabet. Nothing more.
I came here to get educated on Zodiac. I love learning.
Oh, and I have a cat.
Well OK then-
Welcome,

Welcome, For sure you will learn a lot about the Zodiac and I can promise that you and your cat won’t be bored.
Ha llo back and welcome. Please share your Texas missing persons case. Someone here might be able to help. Also you say you have personal experience with a serial killer? You like cats, you will find some interesting cats on this board.
Cheers

Thanks, Mr. Lowe.
I may share my case a little later once I get settled on this site.
My personal experience with a serial killer involves my son who survived his encounter with an aspiring killer who went on to kill three other people in Texas. He was officially charged with two, but was only convicted of the one to get him on death row. I testified at his trial. He’s been appealing his conviction claiming retardation but he is far from retarded, as I showed in the first trial. The first murder was thought to have been committed with my personal sidearm (a burner which I was not wearing at the time). The weapon was stolen during my son’s encounter. It was later proven in court that though my stolen sidearm was used at the second crime, the male victim was shot with a weapon acquired at that location. I was actually the first officer to respond to the incident involving my son because my son called me directly rather than call 911. I responded but notified my dispatch to have other officers respond from the respective jurisdiction where I live which happened to be outside my patrol area (it only takes one flat tire in the driveway before you realize not to live where you issue citations). The case dropped on them so I didn’t hear much until it went to trial. My firearm was never recovered.
And you are correct. I spent the last week reading up on every post I could, and there are truly some interesting cats here.
Sorry I didn’t welcome you earlier, CMLO. I have to wonder if your favorite letters actually have some personal meaning to you.
Welcome!

Welcome!
Yes, Tahoe, they do. They are the four consecutive letters I found were difficult for a suspected inebriated subject to repeat back to me when being questioned. It allowed me to never needlessly call for a Traffic Officer to respond to my location for an FST. "CL" is a common speech digraph whereas "CM" is not. I found through trial and error that intoxicated subjects tended to start with "CL," and then insert the letter "N" which I intentionally omitted. Their response would often be "CLMNO."
Thanks for the welcome!
Welcome CMLO.

Thanks, Trav!
