Serial Killers

The RCMP in British Columbia are asking for the public’s help regarding the movements of serial killer Bobby Jack Fowler who was linked via DNA evidence this week to murders on the infamous Highway of Tears.

Police have announced that the DNA of Bobby Jack Fowler was found on the body of sixteen year old Colleen MacMillen, who was last seen hitchhiking in 1974 along Highway 97 near Lac La Hache, B.C.. Along with the FBI, the RCMP is attempting to trace the movements of Fowler since the early 70’s as he is a suspect in ten other murders in BC and two more in Oregon. Fowler died in prison in 2006 of lung cancer.

If you have information on Bobby Jack Fowler please contact your local police department.

The quiet Pacific Northwest in the 1960’s was home to one of the most murderous serial killers in American history. One ordinary boy, a generation earlier, who preferred to play with women’s shoes had become a native. Jerome Henry Brudos, known as the Lust Killer or the Shoe Fetish Murderer, who laid waste to a series of young lives as young women from the Portland, Oregon area, may be one of the most distastefully macabre of a notably violent and insane group of American serial killer criminals.

In 1969, local women in Portland and surrounding areas started to disappear never to return. Strangled corpses started to surface although in circumstances that meant their location was meant to be a secret. A young boy whose mother has emotionally abused him and psychologically rejected him had formed the beginnings of a vicious killer in the making. Assault grew to rape, coercion grew to abduction, cruising escalated to impersonation of a police officer. The fixated footwear fetish of Brudos had trodden into forbidden fields.

Serial killers like Jerome Brudos are truly a menace to society, both for their sophisticated attempts to mask their killing thirst and their flagrant exhibitionism of their aberrant tendencies. Jerry Brudos made no secret of the fact he had a visible gender dysfunction, which only subsided during male stereotypical experiences like (heterosexual) marriage and fatherhood. But as evidenced by earlier sexual experiences, Jerry Brudos seemed to become enabled and sexually aroused by the wearing of young women’s shoes and underwear, possibly in a trans-formative state toward a gender his mother might have found more pleasing.
