Sounds like a serial killer

Janis: Four prostitutes strangled since April, nine unsolved strangulations of women since '03, but police do not believe there's link between the cases.
As readers may recall, police also publicly denied a link when old people were being robbed and killed in 2005; the crimes turned out to be the work of serial killer Raymont Hopewell. Considering how unusual and labor-intensive strangulation is, it's hard to believe that it's all just a horrible coincidence.
Meanwhile, AngerHangover's post on the murder of Amanda Bishop has generated some interesting comments.

This list of the "22 rules for street mongering" is one educational read!

Police are ISO a robbery suspect in Prada sunglasses.

"DaJuan Marshall, 26, of the 3800 block of Byfield Road was being held at Central Booking and Intake Center on June 25 when authorities there learned of an outstanding warrant charging him with killing Kenneth Cooper Jones."

Former Democratic state Sen. Thomas L. Bromwell checks into federal prison today. The judge apparently didn't agree with Olesker that he'd punished himself enough already.

Adam Meister uses the word "urinate" five times in this anti-SA's office Meistertorial.

Franklin Morgan is behind Joy Shushinsky all the way, and has some suggestions for Hampden's bored teenagers.

It wouldn't be baltimore politics if someone (in this case, Sheila D) didn't cry racism and sexism...

Sheesh, talk about rome burning while nero played the fiddle.

Inmate escapes on his way to Court downtown.


And in unrelated news, police cruisers collided in Waverly at 39th & Old York. An officer is said to be in critical condition.

Update: collision was with a civilian vehicle which ran the light. Three officers hurt; the worst is a broken clavicle.

Apparently Amanda Bishop had kids. Fan-fucking-tastic. If people want to fuck up their own lives then that's unfortunate, but you can't really stop them. I wish they wouldn't produce children that they're totally incapable of raising though.

Now I understand where Baltimore intends to recruit all those officers which it is short... [story here]

i heard that there have been like 500 (or more) unsolved shooting deaths since 2003. i wonder if a serial killer is at work? :P

ppatin: Sad that Amanda Bishop was a mother, but not at all surprising.

Also, "The 22 Rules for Mongering" is maybe the least offensive thing I saw on that site. All that "john chatter" made my skin crawl...I'm pretty sure that Amanda Bishop was a class act when compared with most of her clientèle.
