"Lair of the White Worm" that made them the perfect victims of a serial killer.
Several things, actually.
The fact that seemed to have travelled alone, like Kevin (Chris Pitt) in the film. Someone travelling alone is easier to overcome, then two people travelling together. And two people travelling together are easier to overcome, then three or more travelling together.
We know that Lady Sylvia Marsh (our Amanda) in the film killed or tried to kill men, women, boys, and also most likely girls, so that no victim pattern would be established, thus making the capture of her less likely.
That her victims were usually strangers, we can presume. As we know from the film, a stranger to the area would be less likely to be missed, then someone who lived there, and there would probably be less concern if a stranger went missing, then someone who lived in the area.
Where and when the murders occurred. In a tourist area during the tourist season, where and when there would likely be more tourists (strangers) about.
No body. If there is no body, it is more likely that a missing person's case would be treated as a missing person's case and not a murder investigation. And without a body, even if the case is treated as a murder investigation, there would be fewer clues to the murderer.
There might not even be a missing person's report filed, if a stranger went missing.
The child as victim. Lady Sylvia might have preferred children as her victims. Not only do we have Kevin, we also have her comment: "Only when there are no men around." Not only would a child be easier to overcome then an adult, but, there have also been cases when there was less concern when a child went missing.
Next week: I think we need a "Day at the Beach." Until then . . . Enjoy!
