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: 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: Elizabeth Swann

Operation Anagram: Elizabeth Swann

This is a tricky case.

http://www.missingpeople.org.uk/help-us-find/elizabeth-swann

While Tobin has been known to pick up hitchhikers and Elizabeth ticks all the boxes, she was headed to Gloucester, where Fred West had a hand in abducting lone women. I am fifty-fifty on who could have killed her, if she IS dead, but I will look all the same.

The first rune is ‘Uruz’, merkstave. Weakness, obsession, misdirected force, domination by others. Sickness, inconsistency, ignorance, lust, brutality, rashness, callousness, violence. All of these, sadly, represent the West family. Obsession for Fred, his dominance over his family, his lust, brutality and violence, the ignorance of social services.

The second rune is ‘Kenaz’, merkstave. Disease, breakup, instability, lack of creativity, nakedness, exposure, loss of illusion and false hope. Hitchhiking, especially if it was getting dark (walking from Birmingham to Gloucester is about seventeen hours, so it’s likely, if it was spring, she got up really early, perhaps about five or six in the morning and seventeen hours later would be about eleven or twelve at night, if she was still walking.)

Though it’s possible she had a rest somewhere in between or someone else picked her up, cutting off a few hours. Nevertheless, it would have been dark and when a car drove up with a man and a woman, she wouldn’t have been thinking in the right mind. This is how several hitchhikers end up as serial killer victims.

The third rune is ‘Mannaz’. The individual or the human race. Attitudes towards other people and them to you. Friends and enemies. Intelligence, forethought, create, skill, ability, divine structure, intelligence, awareness. Expect aid or cooperation.

I think this rune represents Fred, his talkative skill allowing Elizabeth to get in, intelligence being his experience with this before. The aid could come from Rose, as she pushed the girls to the seat and bound them.

The fourth rune is ‘Sowilo’, merkstave. False goals, bad counsel, false success, loss of goals, destruction, retribution. The false goal could mean she now knew what she was in for, the retribution and wrath of God could be Fred’s ultimate punishment for what he did to Elizabeth and many more, just a reminder of what happens.

The fifth rune is ‘Jera’, a major change, conflict. This too, describes the Wests.

The sixth rune is ‘Othala’, inherited possessions or property, a house, a home. Group prosperity, source of safety. Well, the last certainly was not the Wests, but the house could be. However, the ‘source of safety’ could creepily be what she felt like when she finally died after suffering by them.

Her case makes me really sad because Fred West was a sadistic psychopath who cared for himself and to an extent Rose, who wanted domination over what he could and manipulate others. Also, Elizabeth was the right type of victim, young, white, hitchhiking. I’m afraid this does look like a West case.

The seventh rune is the blank rune, which is not historically in the set but could mean in the hands of the universe. So Elizabeth has passed over at this point, I have to say.  Some of the other runes with this could mean she watched over the Wests with patience and desperately wants to be reunited with her family. I would imagine so.

The eighth rune is ‘Berkano’. Mental and physical growth, liberation, regenerative power, promise of new beginnings, new growth. Arousal of desire. I think the last one means Fred. But I think this could mean what Elizabeth now is, watching over her family.

The last rune is ‘Ingwaz’. Male fertility, gestation, internal growth, simple strength, family love, rest stage, a time of relief, no anxiety. I personally think she’s just watching her family and waiting.

This reading reminds me of The Lovely Bones, about a fourteen-year-old girl who is murdered and watches over her family. Maybe that’s what she’s doing?

Now, where she is.

Torch, flame, burns, perhaps prince. Eel. Harvest, maybe a farming situation? Sun, ray. Birch, poplar, fruit. Crown. Hawk. Ships. Earth? East, sea, wagon. Iron. Snow. Clouds. Moors. Estate?

Remember, these are POSSIBLE places that could be connected. I understand there are a lot of them, but it is best to assume all possibilities before any other evidence is brought forward.
