I recently came across a detail in the Andrea Coxton case that I haven't seen discussed much, and it's been weighing on me. Has anyone else looked into the role of the coroner's reports in narrowing down the timeline of these tragic events?
The coroner noted that Andrea's wounds indicated not just a brutal killing but also prolonged suffering. It makes me wonder if the killer had a specific timeline when he acted or if there was any delay between the mutilation and the actual murder. Could he have been disturbed or did he take his time for some twisted reason? Understanding this could potentially reveal something about his state of mind or his routine.
Thinking about Andrea and the fear she must have felt is just so painful. I'm hoping we can bring more attention to these details, no matter how small, because they might connect the dots we’re missing. My thoughts go out to her family and all those affected by these horrendous acts.
Has anyone else noticed how the police really seemed to have dropped the ball in Andrea Coxton’s case and those of the other victims? I mean, it’s tragic enough that Andrea’s family never got closure, but I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that the "Bigfoot Killer" was never caught despite multiple eyewitness accounts and a composite sketch. I keep wondering if there were any missed opportunities here. Even with the detailed descriptions and the tip-offs about that beige Oldsmobile, it feels like the investigation just stalled. I really feel for the families who have had to endure such a long wait for justice—decades now with no answers. Does anyone else think there might have been something more that could have been done back then, or is it all down to the limitations of the technology and resources of the time?
I recently dove into the Coxton case, and one aspect that keeps gnawing at me is the role of the Oldsmobile reportedly seen around the crime scenes. How could such a distinctive detail slip through the fingers of investigators? Back in the 70s, I imagine there weren't as many cameras or technology to track vehicles, but surely every lead would be crucial in a case this chilling. It's devastating to think that maybe, just maybe, if someone had caught a license plate or if there had been a more thorough follow-up on this car, we might have been closer to catching the "Cass Ripper." My heart goes out to Andrea's family and the victims' families, who still hold on to the hope for resolution amidst such a haunting lack of answers. Anyone have thoughts on how vehicle investigations were handled back then, or should have been handled, considering this car was such a key part of the killer's profile?
