Tarot Spread: Rita Jolly

Rita left her residence on Horton Road in West Linn, Oregon at 7:15 p.m. on June 29, 1973 to go for a walk. She never returned. She was last seen between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m. that day, walking uphill on Sunset Avenue. Rita has never been heard from again.

Rita may have been a victim of the serial killer Theodore Robert "Ted" Bundy. A photograph of Bundy is posted with this case summary. He was executed in Florida in 1989. He is a suspect in scores of murders, mainly from the Pacific Northwest, though he was convicted only of killing three females in Florida. He confessed to many deaths prior to his execution.

Bundy may be responsible for the disappearances of Nancy Baird, Ann Marie Burr, Lynette Culver, Julie Cunningham, Susan Curtis, Georgeann Hawkins, Vicki Hollar, Donna Manson, Denise Oliverson, Nancy Wilcox, and many other girls and young women.

The women continue to be listed as missing persons. Their remains have never been recovered. It is worth noting that Bundy did not confess to Rita's murder before his death, but he is considered a suspect in many deaths and disappearances he did not claim responsibility for.

Rita's disappearance remains unsolved, as her body was not found and Bundy was never charged or confessed to her murder. Foul play is suspected in her case. She was a junior at West Linn High School in 1973.

I have been interested in Rita for a long time. I found that people still seem to think that Bundy is responsible despite the fact that he had an alibi that day (I will provide a link below).

It is not just Bundy whom people like to point a finger at. Warren Leslie Forrest was also active in Washington and Oregon at the same time. Unlike Bundy, Forrest is still alive as of this publication. I would like it if he was questioned on Rita's disappearance - if he has not been questioned already - but as you will see in this reading, perhaps Rita's fate lies closer to home.

1.       Eight of Swords, reversed. Being released from obligations, taking steps to empowerment, obstacles clearing, fatality.

This could be a sign that Rita met with death. This is not surprising, considering who the main suspects are, but I cannot say for certain if this necessarily means death.

 

2.       Nine of Swords, reversed. Prolonged anxiety, going over old ground, not finding the solution, mental exhaustion, seeing an end to despair. It could mean imprisonment or reasonable fear.

Could this possibly mean that Rita was alive for a time after she was last seen?

It might also link to the search for her. The second card refers to obstacles that the Querent – in this case Rita – comes across, but it might connect to law enforcement. They possibly latched onto the idea that Bundy killed her and refused to let go of this possibility. The idea of ‘going over old ground’ could literally mean examining a place that was previously searched, or looking back at other suspects.

 

3.       The Hanged Man, reversed. In limbo, being narrow-minded, not seeing from all sides, not letting go, having false motives, holding back. Freedom fighters, humanitarians, eco warriors and protesters.

The idea of protesters makes me think of the Vietnam War, although Rita’s case may have nothing to do with it. Did she know anyone who took part in a protest? This card represents the Querent’s past, but I cannot find anything online that may suggest that she was involved in any protests.

The idea of false motives, however, makes me wonder about someone tricking her. Someone that she thought that she could trust. It might NOT have been Bundy, though; since this card links to the past, she may have been hurt by someone in her past, or someone that she knew lured her away.

 

4.       Seven of Pentacles. Delays in payment, long term returns, slow but steady growth, not working as hard as you could, working for nothing, little reward for a lot of effort. Farmers, long term investors, garden centre workers, tree surgeons.

The fourth card indicates the future. In the case of a reading for a missing person, the future refers to the time after they were last seen. Pentacles relate to money, so this makes me think that money was involved somehow. Did Rita owe someone money?

The idea of ‘little reward’ and ‘working for nothing’ makes me think that for forty-five years law enforcement has been barking up the wrong tree. A quick look at Bundy’s timeline shows that he was in Seattle on the day that Rita went missing. The exact timing is unknown, but I do not believe that he was in Oregon at all on that date.

 

5.       Eight of Pentacles. Being cautious, foresight, careful with money, learning, education, a period of study, working hard, attention to detail, meeting deadlines. Factory workers, the self-employed, mature students, tradesmen, skilled workers, craftsmen.

Could Rita be the ‘mature student’ described here? Is she the one who is ‘careful with money’? How does money fit into her disappearance?

Regardless, I think that the person responsible for her disappearance could fit into one of the jobs listed above. The fifth card symbolises the best that the Querent can hope for. The idea of money worries comes up again in regards to this.

This card also represents the Sun in Virgo, which it certainly was on the day that she went missing.

 

6.       Eight of Cups, reversed. Questioning your decision to leave, not being able to move on, fear of the unknown, clinging to the past. Backpackers, travellers, night shift workers, solitary workers, groundsmen and maintenance workers.

Rita had to ‘leave her life behind’. Whether or not she chose to, however, is another question. Something that interests me is the idea of groundsmen and maintenance workers. Warren Forrest worked for a Parks and Recreation department. Could this be a factor?

Since the Eight of Cups when standing upright shows a figure making his way towards the mountains, when this card is in reverse I believe that it means that the Querent went AWAY from the mountains. Since the mountain range was to the east of West Linn, I think that Rita went westwards.

 

7.       Two of Pentacles, reversed. An imbalance between work and home, not coping with work, discord, resisting change, incomplete projects, buckling under pressure. Injustice.

Was Rita also struggling at school? I believe that school had just ended on June 29^th, so it does make me wonder if she believed that she hadn’t done as well as she expected.

However, the idea of resisting change or an incomplete project again makes me think about how rigid investigators seemed concerning whether or not Bundy was responsible. All of the cards so far heavily imply that he was NOT involved in Rita’s disappearance, as well as the fact that he seems to have an alibi for that date.

But the idea of ‘injustice’ infuriates me. I think that the police were so focused on Bundy that they missed the real culprit, who may have been right in front of them! Most crimes are committed by someone the victim knows, after all.

 

8.       Seven of Swords, reversed. Being caught out, ashamed of your actions. Blaming others, making excuses, walking away at a crucial point, uncovering a sham. Private investigators, researchers, burglars.

Compared to the last card, this one is somewhat favourable, especially since the eighth card signifies the Querent’s hopes and fears. Rita, wherever she is, must either be scared that those looking for her are making excuses – and may even have been diverted from the real culprit when Bundy was caught – or hopes that her case will be reopened and as such the culprit will be named.

 

9.       Five of Swords, reversed. An attempt at disruption, petty arguments, attention-seeking behaviour, malicious gossip, paranoia, intimidation, manipulation, humiliation.

The Five of Swords depicts three people on a beach. One of them is carrying two swords, while three others lie on the sand. I may have been right in thinking that Rita was taken westward. Perhaps she is near a beach, or even underneath one.

 

10.   Two of Wands. Being in control, dynamism, gaining control, dominating another or a situation, seeing the big picture, wanting more, not satisfied with your lot, focusing on your intent. Business partners, office workers and planners, travel agents and hotel inspectors, hoarders and collectors, silent partners.

The last card not only represents the outcome of a situation, but is the most important card in a reading. I wonder if this particular card represents the person responsible for Rita’s disappearance. He – or even she – may not have been satisfied with whatever happened to Rita. They chose to dominate her, whether before or after her abduction. Even after they were finished with Rita, they wanted more. This is a very sad card to end a complex reading.

In conclusion, I think that Rita might have been taken by someone she knew. Perhaps it was someone she owed money to, or someone she knew owed them money. It could have been someone that she met at school. Either way, I think that it ended tragically and one of the reasons that the culprit may have been able to get away for so long is because people – particularly law enforcement – chose to put all of their resources into questioning Bundy.

People chose to focus on serial killers because they do not like the idea of someone from their own community being responsible for a horrific crime.

Tarot Spread: Nancy Baird

 

This is a case that has been on my mind for some years now. Nancy Baird is suspected of being a victim of Ted Bundy, although I do not think that she was for reasons I will state below. The information below is piled from the Charley Project.

Baird was last seen at the Fina gas station in the 200 block of south Highway 89 in East Layton, Utah on July 4, 1975. She was employed there as a service station attendant. A police officer on patrol saw her working alone there, and at 5:30 p.m., less than fifteen minutes later, she was discovered missing.

There was no evidence of robbery and no indications of a struggle, but about $10 worth of gasoline from the station's pumps had not been paid for. Baird's car was found locked and parked in the station lot where she'd left it, her car keys were left behind, and her purse was inside the station, containing her medication and $167 from a recently cashed check.

At the time of her disappearance, Baird lived near the gas station, her four-year-old son lived with relatives, and her ex-husband lived in Wyoming. It's considered unlikely that she would have left of her own free will. Just before her disappearance, witnesses saw a truck at the station; it was never identified and it's unclear whether it had anything to do with her case. Investigators questioned Baird's her ex-husband and two male friends in her case. All of them had been out of state at the time she disappeared and passed polygraph examinations, so they were cleared of suspicion.

1.       The High Priestess. Mystery, intuition, emotional stability, things yet to be revealed, discovering your own truth, morality.

While the card does include a ‘J’ and a ‘B’, I do not think that Bundy was involved in Nancy’s case, simply because she was taken from a gas station and I do not think he was in Utah that day. The ‘B’ could simply refer to Baird. If this is true then it means that Nancy was an emotionally stable woman. The card might also refer to a single woman and Nancy had divorced her husband.

 

2.       Ten of Cups, reversed. Discord at home, empty nest syndrome, marital conflict, family problems, a child leaving home. Landscape gardeners, festival organisers, churchgoers, community workers, volunteers.

This card refers to obstacles and I think that these might link to Nancy and her family. Her four-year-old son lived away from her and I truly believe that she was unhappy without him. She is extremely unlikely to have left of her own accord. A river and trees feature in this card.

 

3.       Six of Cups. Pleasure, sentimentality, happy memories, reminiscing, families and siblings, florists, child minders, teachers.

This could link to Nancy wanting a happy home. But since this card is upright, none of these aspects are in a negative way. She was not living in the past, but this card does not indicate false hope, either. As this may represent what she wanted, there might possibly have been a planned reconciliation with her son and/or husband.

 

4.       Eight of Wands. Acting quickly, directness, communications, blockages removed, event organizers, postmen, deliverymen and couriers.

Someone – whether Nancy or someone involved in her disappearance – acted quickly. They were direct about what they wanted and communicated easily. This card might point to someone who has red hair and blue or green eyes. Nancy had strawberry-blonde hair, so I wonder if this card refers to someone who caused her to disappear. The ‘deliveryman’ aspect could come from the fact that a truck was seen at the gas station where she worked. There is also a river in the card.

I have wondered for a while now if Nancy Baird was taken by the alleged ‘Redhead Murderer’ who may have been responsible for numerous deaths in the Bible Belt between 1981 and 1985. Although Nancy disappeared several years prior to this spree, I do not think that it is wise to rule her out. The victims all disappeared from different states and this might have been a factor in their delayed identifications.

 

5.       Four of Swords. Calling a truce, an agreement, synchronicity, taking a break, quiet consideration, tomb, coffin.

This card shows a coffin inside of a tomb or crypt. The figure involved is lying down, but three swords hang above him, showing that he has not completed his task. Since this card shows a coffin, I usually tend to interpret that the subject has passed on. But somehow I am unsure if this is the case, at least in the period after her disappearance.

 

6.       Five of Swords, reversed. Petty arguments, attention-seeking behaviour, malicious gossip, paranoia, intimidation, manipulation.

Could the ‘malicious gossip’ have referred to allegations that Ted Bundy was involved in Nancy’s disappearance? I would hardly say that it was ‘malicious’, since he did take numerous women from the state of Utah at the time Nancy was last seen, but perhaps this card suggests that we are looking in the wrong direction. The card shows a large body of water, so I wonder if she is still close to Salt Lake. This card may indicate the future, so I wonder if at some point after her abduction Nancy or her abductor became paranoid.

 

7.       Nine of Cups, reversed. Taking things for granted, wishes denied, dissatisfaction, loss of pleasures, hedonism, overindulgence.

This card signifies the Querent; Nancy herself. Her wishes being denied and feeling dissatisfied with her life might have been a reference to her mental state before she went missing, but it could just as easily mean the time after she disappeared, if she was held for a while. This card can also suggest bar or cocktail workers, people involved in the wine, glass or china trade or collectors.

 

8.       Six of Wands, reversed. Self-doubt, lack of confidence, delayed success, feeling crushed, feeling ostracized, being out-manoeuvred.

Either Nancy or someone involved in her disappearance might have had a lack of confidence. Being ‘out-manoeuvred’ implies to me that someone prevented Nancy from getting away. This card refers to the environment around Nancy, although whether this is before or after she went missing, I am again uncertain.

 

9.       Judgement, reversed. Ignoring a calling, doubting yourself, being led by your own fear, a change is coming but has been delayed, avoiding making a decision, judges and magistrates, religious leaders, evangelists, motivational speakers, public speakers.

Could the delay be due to people being so focused on Bundy that they can’t see the forest for the trees? As this card connects to Nancy’s hopes and fears, she might be worried that her name will always be connected with him when this is not the case. Evangelists and religious leaders make me think that she is still in Utah, although this may not necessarily be the case. As this card shows people ascending from a lake, could she be in Salt Lake or another large body of water? Or could some evidence be in water?

 

10.   Three of Pentacles, reversed. Loss of work, career dissatisfaction, unsatisfactory work, delays to completion. Building surveyors, architects, builders, bricklayers and stonemasons, carpenters, master craftsmen, recruitment consultants.

This card once again makes me think that people are focusing in the wrong place when it comes to where Nancy is or who took her. If things are going the way they are then if she is found it is likely to be by accident. But as to where, this card might provide a few clues. The building in the Three of Pentacles reminds me of a church of another old, stone building. Since there are a limited number of old, stone buildings stateside, perhaps Nancy is close to or inside of a church. The coffin from the Four of Swords makes me think about placing a body inside another person’s coffin. Or Nancy could simply be underneath a building that was under construction in 1975.

This reading is generally fascinating because the first five cards were upright, but the last five were reversed. This could imply that Nancy’s fortunes were reversed and things went downhill for her, or even whoever took her, after she was last seen.

Operation Anagram: Jackie Ansell-Lamb

Jackie Ansell-Lamb

http://www.cheshiremagazine.com/Archives/lamb.html

Jackie Ansell-Lamb was killed on 8^th March 1970 or just after.

Jackie was eighteen years old when she was killed whilst hitchhiking north from London.

Her body was found on 14^th March 1970 by a farmer, in Square Wood, Mere, near Knutsford. After investigating, police found that a witness remembered a girl fitting her description getting into a car at Keele service station between four and five. She had worn a blonde wig, false eyelashes, a dark blue maxi coat and maroon patent boots.

Over the weekend that she vanished, 40,000 people went to Manchester’s European football match. A lot of people had travelled on the M6.

In 1990, DNA from the case matched up with the Barbara Mayo case. Barbara was killed six months later; she had been hitchhiking north too.

Peter Tobin is considered a suspect.

As this was my first case for a victim known to have died, I asked what happened on her last day.

The first rune is Thurisaz, merstave.

Danger, defencelessness, betrayal, hatred, torment, lies. Rape.

This could be either her situation or the situation of hitchhikers themselves, especially the female ones. But I’d say that she let her guard down and she was ‘betrayed’ by her killer using her trust.

The second rune is Sowilo, merkstave. False goals, bad counsel, false success, loss of goals, 

destruction, justice. Wrath of God.

This is interesting.

Could the ‘goals’ mean Manchester? Her aim of getting there, obviously, but maybe the match? What was the score? Can any of you remember? Did a parent, grandparent, a friend, go to that match?

If you do, that could really help.

The justice could mean that this case will be solved. Jackie – and Barbara – will get justice.

The wrath of God could mean the killer getting a just punishment, but I am also reminded of the St Christopher medals in Tobin’s possession. St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers. It would make sense if a hitchhiker had one.

Could it belong to Jackie?

I want to do readings on the jewellery, but never really got round to it. In fact, I apologize for the length of time between readings. I have had a busy – and mentally stressful – life.

The third rune is Ehwaz, merkstave.

A change is craved, feeling restless or confined in a situation. Mistrust, betrayal.

The restlessness and confined in a situation makes me think. Could the restless be Jackie asking her kidnapper where they were going? Was she thinking they were going the wrong way? Was she annoyed that they weren’t getting anywhere? She could be irritated that they weren’t near where she wanted. Was she now anxious?

Or even, could she have been tied up by now? Tobin tied his victims with their bras. However, the Bible John victims weren’t found like that, so maybe he hadn’t started it yet.

The fourth rune is Kenaz, merkstave. Disease, instability, lack of creativity. Nakedness, exposure, false hope.

I assumed they are in a lay-by or somewhere private. Woodland? A car park? I’d say she had her clothes taken off. Was she found naked?

False hope may mean her thinking, was this man going the right way? She could have been telling herself she hadn’t made a mistake.

The fifth rune is Mannaz, merkstave.

Self-delusion, depression, cunning, slyness, manipulation, craftiness. Expect no help.

This could describe Tobin. He acted like a gentleman, but was nasty and violent. Somehow, he reminds me of Claude Duval, the highwayman who danced with a woman during a robbery.

The sixth rune is the blank rune, which could mean this is in the hands of the universe.

The seventh rune is Ingwaz, merkstave. Impotence, movement without change, production, toil, work.

Maybe she’s trying to get out. She knows what she’s in now.

The eighth rune is Raido, merkstave.

Crisis, rigidity, injustice, irrationality, disruption, possibly death. I’d say that she’s dead now and she may realise. Maybe she floats above as she wonders where she’s going – both on the road and perhaps, going to another plane.

The last rune is Jera.

A time of peacefulness and happiness. A promise of success earned. Life cycle, everything changes in time.

This one makes me feel sad and pleased. She finally realises what’s happened to her. Was there anyone waiting for her? Her life cycle is over, possibly all of her lives on Earth.

This poor girl has now had her life ended, in a most disgusting way, but the thing is, she’s at peace now.

If there’s anyone you want me to do a reading now, please write in the comments below.

Operation Anagram - Jill Barnard

Jill Barnard

Jill Barnard Runic Reading

http://z13.invisionfree.com/PorchlightEurope/ar/t2503.htm

Aside from a small mention in a Daily Mail article, a description of her on the above-mentioned site and the fact she may be Scottish, I know almost nothing about nineteen-year-old Jill.

She was 19 when she vanished sometime in October 1977, from London. She had been due to go flat-hunting with her sister, but never turned up. Jill was five foot four, brown hair, medium build.

Because of her physical description and the time she vanished, I suspect Peter Tobin may have murdered her. We do not know Tobin’s whereabouts at that time, but I believe at the time of another victim’s murder (coincidentally, she was also named Jill; Jill Brown, 1978) he may have lived in Essex. This disappearance was in January 1978 – only two months after Ms Barnard was seen.

The first rune is Thursiaz. Reactive force, directed force of destruction, conflict. Eroticism, a need for change. Male sexuality.

Maybe this is going straight to her attacker? Maybe she was simply dragged in? Doesn’t sound like Tobin. Maybe she realised something was wrong and she tried fighting back?

The second rune is Hagalaz, merkstave. Natural disaster, catastrophe, loss of power, stagnation. Pain, loss, suffering. Sickness, crisis. So, she’s already with whoever took her. Or maybe she was going through a hard time in her life?

This is a very difficult reading since I have been unable to find almost anything about her, expect she is a suspected Tobin victim. Even her photograph on the Daily Mail wasn’t very clear. So this is why I need to put this out there – if someone who knew Jill comes across this, maybe the puzzle will be solved?

The third rune is Nauthiz, reversed. No freedom, distress, hard work, negligence.  Necessity, deprivation, poverty, emotional hunger. Maybe this could mean Jill and her abductor?

The ‘necessity’ could be the desire for sex. Tobin would have divorced the previous year from Sylvia Jeffries – I am unsure of the date – and he may have killed Brenda Evans in Cheshire on 7^th October that year.

This is why I need the date of Jill’s disappearance. If he ran away to Cheshire shortly after killing Jill, he could have come across Brenda. Knowing when people vanish is VERY IMPORTANT, not just for psychics, but the police.

The fourth rune is Tiwaz. Honor, justice, leadership, authority. Victory and success in legal matters. Could this mean that she will face justice? It’s almost forty years, but this could possibly be solved.

After all, Jennifer Cardy’s murder was solved after 30 years; Tammy Alexander has been identified after 35. It’s possible.

The fifth rune is Ingwaz, merkstave. Movement without change, production, labor, work. Could this mean either an attempt to escape, or perhaps even anyone trying to look for her?

Work, perhaps digging a grave?

The sixth rune is Kenaz, reversed. Disease, instability, nakedness, exposure, loss of illusion, false hope. Perhaps Jill knows her time has come. Maybe she lay by the grave as he dug it?

It’s a terrifying, horror-movie thought, but it is possible to be near your grave while it’s being dug.

I think she must have known no-one would help her now. I can’t imagine how terrible she must have felt, probably her life flashing before her before she was even killed.

The seventh rune is Raido, merkstave. Crisis, rigidity, irrationality, disruption, dislocation, death. She has gone now. The rigidity could be drink or drugs, fear, mortification?  The dislocation reminds me of Dinah being bent double when she was buried.

Was her killer perhaps disrupted while her grave was being dug? Tobin was spotted as he dug Dinah’s grave by a neighbour. He lied and said he was digging a sandpit for his son. Could perhaps a similar event have happened?

Maybe even, as I said the January 1978 murder was not long after, perhaps both girls are buried in the same place!

The eighth rune is Berkano, merkstave. Family problems and domestic issues. Anxiety about someone close. Loss of control, blurring of consciousness, deceit, stagnation.

I feel she is thinking, rightfully, about loved ones, before the blurring of consciousness caused by her following the light. The domestic issues could point to the fact that she was looking for a new place?

All in all, I feel that this poor young woman was abducted and likely killed not long after. But there could be justice and she might be found.

Now, for where she is.

Sharp. Thorn. Horse. Journey (train station?) riding. Car or van rental? Disease. Hospital. Flame, burn. Hail. Cold. Serpent. Vault. Bank? Heart, salvation (Heart Foundation or Salvation Army?). star. Prince. Night. Birch. Crown? Sea.

Genette Tate

Genette Tate

Genette Tate was thirteen years old when she vanished on 19^th August 1978, in Aylesbeare, Devon, UK. She was last seen by two friends when she talked to them, before getting on her bicycle to deliver papers.

Her friends heard the bicycle clatter over. When they came over, Genette had gone and the bicycle was turned over, the newspapers scattered.

Genette has never been found, despite a search. At five foot, she would have looked much younger than thirteen from behind. In 1994, Robert Black was named as a likely suspect. Since then, he has been named by most sources as the murderer. In 2014, prosecutors looked at bringing charges against him.

As mentioned in my readings about Ramona Herling and Suzanne Lawrence, Black targeted young girls. He gave away information about Genette’s area, had been in nearby Exeter the day she vanished, he targeted girls on bicycles and in rural areas.

Unlike April Fabb and Suzanne Lawrence, who were later suggested to be victims of Peter Tobin, Black has always been the prime suspect, despite Peter Tobin and I think once Fred West, being suggested.

The first rune is ‘Ehwaz’, reversed. A change is craved, feeling restless or confined. Reckless haste, mistrust, betrayal. If I am right with whom I believe Black took, Genette would have been the first on a bicycle. Maybe that was the change. The reckless haste could be her bicycle being turned over when struck from behind, which almost certainly happened.

The second rune is ‘Jera’, merkstave. Sudden setbacks, a major change, bad timing, conflict. Of course, the setback would be Genette’s surprise, the bad timing was simply being out when Black was driving through her village. The conflict could be an attempted escape or Genette struggling.

The third rune is ‘Eihwaz’. strength, reliability, providing motivation and a sense of purpose. Sights are set on a reasonable target and goals can be achieved. Black had probably been longing for a victim for some time. If I am right, his last victim would have been in Ireland in March 1977, almost eighteen months prior. The novelty would have worn off. I also read that a year later, he tried another abduction in the same area.

Maybe he had been on earlier trips, looking round for a young victim. The idea of ‘setting eyes on a reasonable target’ may be sighting her as he drove round a corner and thought that she was his ideal victim. While this abduction was not planned, it was done by somebody who wanted to abuse a child.

The fourth rune is ‘Sowilo’, merkstave. False goals, bad counsel, false success, loss of goals. Destruction, justice, casting down of vanity. Vanity is something that psychopaths like Black have. The worst psychopaths only think of themselves and refuse to say what crimes they have done. But this rune could mean that there will be justice for Genette’s loved ones.

The false goal could maybe be a traffic incident or something that forced Black to change his route slightly. The false success? Maybe he worked out that Genette was not as young as she seemed, either by when she was still alive or by local papers he almost certainly picked up if he drove through there soon after.

The fifth rune is ‘Gebo’, merkstave. Greed, loneliness, obligation, privacy, bribery. The greed and loneliness may translate to the pedophile’s determination for abducting a victim. The privacy? That’s obvious.

The sixth rune is ‘Uruz’. Physical speed and untamed potential. Freedom, action, energy, strength, sudden or unexpected changes. Sexual desire, masculine potency. All of these describe Black. I think at this point, after probably coming across a traffic problem, he’d stopped, then attacked Genette.

It revolts me how someone could do this.

The seventh rune is ‘Ingwaz’, merkstave. Impotence, movement without change. Production and work. An attempt to escape? That would be an automatic reflex. Or perhaps she was dying?

The eighth rune is ‘Berkano’, merkstave. Family problems or domestic trouble. Anxiety about someone close. Carelessness, loss of control. Blurring of consciousness, deceit. Genette’s father is accused of abusing her.

What a tragic and ironic life Genette had. Abused by her father, allegedly, then murdered by a complete, psychopathic stranger. I am DEFINITELY not saying there is any karma in this, but I think that cases like this are to teach people that some things relating to abuse CANNOT be ignored.

The ninth rune is the blank rune, which is not historical, but can be seen as this is in the hands of the universe.

Runic Reading: Jill Brown

Jill Brown, 19, vanished on 3^rd January 1978, from Dovercourt, Essex. She left her home to go and work at the local launderette, but she never arrived. She didn’t take anything with her to show she was leaving home, but she also suffered from a rare illness. She was five foot two, with brown hair. All of these make me think she may be a victim of Peter Tobin.

So, let me see the runes.

The first rune is ‘Isa’. Standstill, to wait, a challenge or frustration. Sadly, I take this rune to mean she may be dead. Considering she had an illness and needed medication, this is not unlikely, but the fact that I think she could be a Tobin victim also stands out.

The second rune is the blank rune. I will ignore this one, since there is no evidence that these were used historically.

The third rune is ‘Mannaz’. The individual. Your attitude towards others and them towards you. Intelligence, create, skill, ability. Awareness. I am not certain if this points towards Jill or Tobin, if he is involved. But the ‘skill’ and ‘awareness’ could be Tobin’s charm of tricking his victims into stopping and listening before he attacks.

The fourth rune is ‘Othala’. Inherited possessions, perhaps a house or home. What is important to a person, perhaps significant value? Land of birth, spiritual heritage. Experience, fundamental values, source of safety, increase and abundance. The problem is, this is a positive rune, but the idea of a house or home makes me think maybe she never left her home, maybe he attacked there?

We don’t know where Tobin was in 1977 and 1978, so maybe he lived in Dovercourt. He could have gone to her home, or invited her to his. Maybe the ‘experience’ means his experience in killing?

The fifth rune is ‘Gebo’ merkstave. Greed, loneliness, obligation, toll, privation, bribery. The ‘greed’ could be Tobin wanting a victim. Maybe he offered her help with something or relating to a job? Could that be the obligation? The privation could be that she lacked items. As she worked in a launderette, I think she may not have had much. Perhaps tobin offered her some things to help her and lured her?

The sixth rune is ‘Dagaz’, merkstave. A completion, ending, limit, blindness, hopelessness. I am now certain that she was killed. If this is combined with the other runes, Isa makes sense and she might have been killed in a home.

The seventh rune is ‘Fehu, merkstave. Loss of personal property, cowardice, slavery, bondage, it implies failure. Failure maybe because Jill trusted the wrong person? Loss of life? The bondage could be that Tobin bound her before attacking her, maybe she is still bound, as Dinah was found.

The eighth rune is ‘Wunjo’, merkstave. Sorrow, trife, alienation, intoxication, possession by higher forces, raging frenzy.The intoxication makes me think of how he drugged Vicky and Dinah, as well as making the two girls he attacked in 1993 drunk. He could have offered Jill a sedated drink or alcohol. Then he would get on with attacking.

The ninth rune is ‘Algiz’, merkstave. Hidden danger, consumption by divine forces, loss of divine link, turning away, warning. Maybe Jill knew she shouldn’t have gone to Tobin’s house, or go by herself? It could be that, like I said with Pamela, she had a warning from angels, but ignored it.

All in all, I can safely say that it is likely this wasn’t a snatch-off-the-street abduction; this was what Tobin did with Angelika, what he would have done with Cheryl in 2005. Lure his victim, after befriending them, into being somewhere alone with him, where he would rape and kill them.

As I have no idea where Tobin was in 1977 and 1978, I can say that I believe he lived in or near Dovercourt at the beginning of 1978. Due to his travelling around, he most likely left Dovercourt a few weeks or months after killing Jill, maybe taking her body with him. As Margaret Frame is likely the next victim (died October 1978), he may have moved to Brighton next.

Now, for where Jill is.

Wealth, forest, sight. Lord? A church, maybe? It would fit with Tobin’s modus operandi. Credit. Honour. Furnish. Broken? Maybe somewhere where things are mended?

Pain. Shelter. River. Frost? Bridge? Elk, yew. Hawk. House, estate.

Operation Anagram: Suzanne Lawrence

Operation Anagram: Suzanne Lawrence

The case of Suzanne Lawrence is a memorable, infamous and confusing one.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-probe-unsolved-murders-for-tobin-link-2024780.html
http://www.doenetwork.org/cases-int/2462dfuk.html

On one hand, between 1994 and 2007, it was assumed that, with no evidence, Suzanne Lawrence was the victim of child-killer Robert Black. Black had killed three girls in the 1980s and in 2011, was convicted of killing a fourth. While I will put up suspected victims' readings on here, including Christine Markham, Mary Boyle and Cheryl Morrien, as well as ones I personally think are his, I have always considered Suzanne to be a Tobin victim.

Tobin became a suspect about 2007, to which I think there is certainly evidence for. She disappeared during the summer and Tobin was known to holiday in Norfolk. The exact date of her disappearance I have failed to find, but she resided in Harold Hill, Essex, which is on the way to Norfolk; using a small detour on Google Maps from the quickest route, it goes right through Harold Hill. She has similar facial features to Dinah McNicol, as well as suspected Tobin victims, including Barbara Mayo, Susan Long and Pamela Exall.

Right, let me do this.

Some time before I did Suzanne Lawrence, I received the ‘Isa’ rune and the ‘Berkano’ rune. Unfortunately, since ‘Isa’ means nothing has grown, this means she is dead. The ‘Berkano’ rune means, as the rune was reversed, abandon, loss of control, blurring of consciousness, deceit.

In the process of reading the runes, I accidentally took out ten runes instead of nine, but I will include the tenth anyway, as a possibility, but I will not take the tenth one as seriously.

The first rune is the ‘Jera’. This means, since it is on its side, sudden setbacks, reversals, repetition, bad timing, conflict. This would certainly explain if her murderer was a serial killer. Suzanne happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Repetition as this was done before. Conflict; struggle?

The second rune is ‘Mannaz’, reversed. Depression, mortality, blindness, cunning, slyness, manipulation, to expect no help now. The cunning and manipulation do suggest Peter Tobin as her abductor, since he is not the sort (as far as I know) to grab a girl and throw her in his car. Maybe he faked being lost? As soon as she was in his car, she’d have no help.

The third rune is ‘Berkano’, this time upright. This one is confusing, as this is usually a positive rune, but the rune can mean ‘fertility’, ‘arousal of desire’ or ‘a love affair’. It would certainly describe a desire, from either Tobin or Black, the chance to finally have another victim. But with Tobin, ‘love affair’ may mean that he did not have a partner at the moment, being some years before he would meet Cathy Wilson. Maybe it was in his mind a twisted version of that?

The fourth rune is ‘Dagaz’. Interestingly, this rune means, translated ‘day or dawn’, perhaps a meaning to when exactly Suzanne died? The rune is on its side, which means ‘competition, ending, limit, coming full circle, blindness, hopelessness’. So my guess is that Suzanne was held overnight and killed around dawn.

As Tobin may have been heading toward Norfolk (being July, it was time for holidays) my guess is that he drove toward Norfolk after taking her, perhaps signing in to some quiet hotel or boarding house, holding Suzanne in the bedroom and killing her after a night of raping her?

But if Black took her, this would make less sense, as his being a psychopath and the fact he held Caroline Hogg - dead or alive is unknown - for four days, surely means he would have held the girl longer.

This is a very sad circumstance, but the thing remains is that she was a vulnerable fourteen-year-old and this is what happens when we don’t have AMBER Alerts and sex offender registers.

The fifth rune is ‘Gebo’. This means, as the rune is on its side, greed, loneliness, dependence, over-sacrifice, obligation, toll, privation, bribery. This could confuse me. Obviously, if Tobin is the killer, the greed makes sense, as well as privacy. But bribery is very confusing. Perhaps Tobin bribed a hotel clerk or someone not to tell anyone he was at the hotel? This would be especially likely if he phoned up and booked under his own name.

The six rune is ‘Wunjo’. It is reversed, so it means sorrow, strife, intoxication, possession by higher forces, impractical enthusiasm, raging frenzy. This can easily describe Tobin when he has killed or is killing, the intoxication could mean that he had some anxiety pills, as he did with Vicky and Dinah, or maybe simply got some alcohol and got Suzanne forcibly drunk. This could also mean he was happy that something was going his way, which would be wrong as it was illegal.

The seventh rune is ‘Raido’. The rune was on its side, meaning crisis, rigidity, injustice, irrationality, disruption, dislocation, delusion, possibly death. Well, this certainly describes what was happening, but crisis? Maybe not just for Suzanne. Tobin would want to dispose of her body quickly. But maybe there were a number of guests at wherever he was staying? Or he didn’t have an opportunity to dump her body where he wanted because of crowds? As for dislocating her body, it could be abandoning the body at a certain place – if true, she is probably not buried where he killed her – or maybe actually breaking her body to fit inside a garbage bag or suitcase or whatever he left her in. Remember, Dinah was bent double.

The eighth rune is ‘Hagalaz’, on its side. Natural disaster, catastrophe, loss of power, pain, suffering, loss, hardship, sickness and crisis. Again, all could describe Suzanne but maybe a small natural disaster, like a cliff fall, could have prevented Tobin from disposing of her quickly. We’d need to look through any records of cliff falls in July 1979 for this.

It would be a personal catastrophe for Tobin, perhaps driving around for a long time to look for somewhere to dump the body. Traffic jams? Also, when he did dump the body, he may have done as he did after Vicky and Angelika’s deaths, as well as the attempted murder of two girls in 1993. He could have faked illness and took shelter in a Norfolk hospital.

The ninth rune is ‘Fehu’ on its side. Loss of personal property, some sort of failure. Greed, burnout, cowardice, stupidity, dullness, slavery, bondage. Maybe he even forgot which suitcase or bag held Suzanne? Or stupidly left her body in the countryside during an awful traffic jam? Whatever happened, it seems disposing of her body would have been a problem. Perhaps someone even tried to help him with his bags in a traffic jam or something and he hurriedly pushed them back in his car? Perhaps he missed a spot check and he nearly was caught by someone?

All of this suggest some sort of traffic problem or collision and when the police arrived, he would have been shaking. He almost certainly would have given a false name. Again, like the cliff fall theory, this would actually be easy to look up. No-one would have noticed, even after Tobin’s arrest, because everyone was so certain Black took Suzanne.

The last rune is ‘Tiwaz’ on its side. Creative flow is blocked, injustice, imbalance,  strife, conflict, dwindling passion, difficulties in communication and separation.

Now, to find out where she is.

‘Spring’ seems to have a connection, either in place name or when she will be found. Hawk, earth, ship. Maybe close to Great Yarmouth? Birch, poplar, maybe crown. Hope.

Furniture store or something like that, maybe a cleaning company or handyman, as Tobin was, something with furnishing.

Shelter of some kind, human or animal.

Riding or horses, perhaps forging? Forging could mean Tobin forging a signature, but it could mean metal-working, so Great Yarmouth is also a likely guess.

Hail or maybe grain, farming? Wealth, either emotional or money, or forest. This could go with birch, poplar, earth, grain or maybe even horses.

A good guess is that she could be near farmland or woodland, perhaps near Great Yarmouth docks, very likely on the edge of an urban area.

Whatever the answer is, she is sadly gone and these are my best examples at what may have happened.

Operation Anagram: Pamela Exall

Operation Anagram: Pamela Exall

Pamela Exall Rune Reading

Pamela Exall vanished on 27th August 1974, from Digleas Campsite, Snettisham, in Norfolk. Last seen at 11pm, she had been camping with her brother and friend when she went for a walk.

Pamela's family were shown jewelry in Tobin's possession. While they said it was not Pamela's, they did recognise it, which just plain confuses me as to how they did.

Remember, merkstave means on its side.

The first rune is Berkano. Birth, general fertility, physical and mental growth. Liberation. Promise of new beginnings, new growth. Arousal of desire, a love affair, beginning of a new business? From what I have read, Pamela appeared to be starting a new job and was 21, so that could be the idea of liberation. This could describe Pamela, a young woman about to start a new life in her new job. Remember, young women were just starting to do this sort of thing, before being expected in either part-time jobs or housewives.

The second rune is Perthro, merkstave. Addiction, stagnation, loneliness, malaise. Malaise means illness. Tobin would have been in his second marriage, which would last until 1976. Maybe he asked Sylvia Jeffries to come to Norfolk with him and she refused? The addiction could be an addiction to power over women. Illness, of course, is what Tobin faked after murdering. I am now certain that Tobin took Pamela.

The third rune is Kenaz, merkstave. Disease, breakup, instability, lack of creativity. Nakedness, exposure, false hope. The ‘breakup’ could be Pamela leaving her friends, the nakedness pretty obvious if she is a Tobin victim, but just think about Tobin’s previous crimes. He basically lured Angelika Kluk to the church garage; he gave a lift to Dinah McNicol. This could be the false hope. He could have been driving down the Norfolk wash and saw a young girl by herself; stopping and asking for directions, perhaps using a torch or the car headlamps with a map, then forcing her in. This seems likely.

The fourth rune is Algiz, merkstave. Hidden danger, consumption by divine forces, loss of divine link. Warning, turn away, that which repels. The hidden danger being what I described above. I sometimes think to tales when people avoid disaster due to small accidents or loud voices in their heads. It’s basically their choice if they ignore them, but the angels tell us when there’s danger ahead, if it isn’t our time. Maybe Pamela ignored the warnings? If so, she ended up a murder victim. I wonder how many other murder victims ignored the warning? It could even be just gut instinct telling her that she shouldn’t talk to strangers.

The fifth rune is Gebo, merkstave. Greed, loneliness, dependence, over-sacrifice. Toll, privacy, bribery. The greed and loneliness, of course, describe Tobin. From what I’ve seen, some serial killers depend on a female to help them; a wife, mother, in few cases a sister or friend. A woman to take care of them. This is where Tobin’s wife comes in. he could have been annoyed he didn’t have her in Norfolk. Dependence also comes in. The toll may be a physical toll, a road block. Privacy could, of course, be Tobin trying to find somewhere to assault Pamela, who could have been in the back tied up under a blanket or something, maybe in the trunk of the car. Bribery is interesting.

A physical bribe, asking to please get through the roadblock? Or maybe they saw something and Tobin bribed them? If so, they may have been a desperate, possibly low-income person. That person might still be alive.

The sixth rune is Thurisaz. Reactive force, directed force to destruction and defence, conflict. Eroticism, tending toward change, purging, male sexuality. When Thurisaz is reversed, this often indicates rape, but I’d say with Tobin, this is rape. I’d say that Tobin found somewhere to park and assault Pamela by now.

The seventh rune is Ehwaz, merkstave. A change craved, feeling restless or confined. Reckless haste, mistrust, betrayal. During assaults, the victims can feel confined, maybe physically confined. The mistrust and betrayal could be when she went near Tobin, perhaps thinking about it now. I feel sorry for her now; she must have felt dreadful.

The eighth rune is Nauthiz, merkstave. Constraint of freedom, distress, toil, necessity, extremity, want, deprivation, need, poverty, emotional hunger. Poverty, as I said with low-income, could be something to look at. At this point, Pamela is in distress and the need could be her desperation to escape or Tobin’s lust.

The ninth rune is the blank rune. Not historical, but may indicate that this is in the hands of the universe.

In summary, Pamela is Tobin’s victim, might be buried somewhere in Norfolk, as there was a big search for her and she hasn’t been found. But likely to be some way away from where she vanished.

I will now try to see where she is.

Cliff, either in name or an actual cliff, somewhere where physical work may go on, perhaps a farm. Remember the road block. Pear. Rent, could be a bed and breakfast? Elk or yew. Maybe somewhere with water? Blood, maybe donation or hospital? Goes with Tobin’s habit of feigning sickness. Prince. Furnish. Birch, crown. Poplar. Horse. Perhaps a small hotel or somewhere to stay?
