A city experiences an epidemic of murders. Some of them are "ordinary" in the sense that the victims are found shot at various places, as opposed to others that have the bizarre detail in common that the victims are found in freezers and refrigerators. Nothing is stolen from any of the victims, and none of them are known to have any enemies. They come from all sorts of background and social strata, and few, if any, of them know each other. What is going on? | ||

So the victims all died from being shot? By a gun / rifle? Were they all shot by the same person? Are the fridge-freezer victims found in their own appliances? | ||

By Katy (Katy) on Tuesday, March 07, 2006 - 12:26 pm: So the victims all died from being shot? Yes By a gun / rifle? Yes Were they all shot by the same person? Irrelevant, but let's say yes Are the fridge-freezer victims found in their own appliances? Most of them, but not necessarily all | ||

Can we divide the victims into the 2 groups - FF (i.e. fridge freezer) vics and ordinary vics? Is that a suitable way to divide them? Are any of the victims bodies' dismembered after they have been shot? Or are the FF victims found whole in the fridges/freezers? Was the choice of who to kill pre-decided? Or were they simply in the wrong place? | ||

Can we divide the victims into the 2 groups - FF (i.e. fridge freezer) vics and ordinary vics? But of course (: Is that a suitable way to divide them? Yes Are any of the victims bodies' dismembered after they have been shot? No Or are the FF victims found whole in the fridges/freezers? Yes Was the choice of who to kill pre-decided? Yes Or were they simply in the wrong place? No | ||

They don't know each other, but do the individuals know their killer? | ||

Were the fridges and freezers on when they were put in them? Was the intention to preserve the bodies? | ||

Were all the victims shot wherever they happened to be, and those who were shot near suitably sized fridges/freezers were then placed in them? or did the murderer decide in advance which victims would be FF and which would be ordinary? Was anyone shot while already inside a fridge/freezer? Roughly how many FF victims were there: 1? 2? 5? 10? more? how many ordinary victims? Roughly how many of the victims were found in fridges/freezers: 10%? 20%? 30%? etc. Are all the victims humans? adults? | ||

Both yes By John Morahan (Wunderland) on Wednesday, March 08, 2006 - 10:45 am: Were all the victims shot wherever they happened to be, and those who were shot near suitably sized fridges/freezers were then placed in them? No or did the murderer decide in advance which victims would be FF and which would be ordinary? Yes Was anyone shot while already inside a fridge/freezer? No, or if so, only by fantastic coincidence Roughly how many FF victims were there: 1? 2? 5? 10? more? how many ordinary victims? Let's say 5 and 6 respectively Roughly how many of the victims were found in fridges/freezers: 10%? 20%? 30%? Approximately 50/50, but could vary considerably in both directions Are all the victims humans? adults? Both yes (but again, not necessarily) | ||

Is it relevant where and when this is set? | ||
| Torgeir Apeland (Abc)
|
Is it relevant where and when this is set? Noish. Present day. Needs to be within the latest 25 years or so, I think. Most western countries would do. | ||
| Katy (Katy)
|
So the choice of who to shoot was pre-decided? Would pre-determined be a better description? Do we need to find out what all the victims have in common? And then what is different about the FF victims? Scientific testing relevant? Was it planned to remove the victims from the fridges and freezers at a later date? Were the non-FF victims not 'good' enough to be preserved? | ||

So the choice of who to shoot was pre-decided? Yes Would pre-determined be a better description? Hm. Depends on how you look at it. Do we need to find out what all the victims have in common? Yes - but slightly FA And then what is different about the FF victims? Yesish, but FA Scientific testing relevant? No Was it planned to remove the victims from the fridges and freezers at a later date? Yesish Were the non-FF victims not 'good' enough to be preserved? Incorrect | ||

Were all victims human? was there a plot to kill a certain group? who all had something in common? Were the bodies in the fridges/freezers intended for use of some sort? | ||

Hi, I'm new to this. Let me give it a try... In what time interval (roughly) did the murders happen? (1 Minute? Hour? Day? Week? Month? Year? Decade? Longer?) Is this relevant? Did they select the victims because they thought they had a certain characteristic? Did they then search the bodies and find out that only a certain fraction of the victims really had that characteristic? Were the victims dead immediately after the shooting? Were the victims put into the fridges/freezers by the killers? Did the series of murders end? If yes - Why? Because the murderer was no longer able to commit any more murders (e.g. in prison)? Or did the murderer deliberately stop killing people? Were the bodies in the fridges/freezers preserved for eating? For medical purposes? As some sort of evidence? For a museum?? | ||

Hi, and welcome! I'm honored! In what time interval (roughly) did the murders happen? (1 Minute? Hour? Day? Week? Month? Year? Decade? Longer?)

Are victims' genders relevant? Are the frozen one men and the unfrozen women? Gametes relevant? | ||

Are victims' genders relevant? Are the frozen one men and the unfrozen women? No to these Gametes relevant? I do not know who/what "Gametes" is/are, so probably not. | ||

Was they all murdered so that they could be used for medical research? | ||

Did the FF victims simply all happen to have fridges and freezers that were actually big enough or convenient enough for the killer to use? Whereas older fridges and freezers (older than 25 years?) really weren't big enough to accomodate people unless it was a restaurant or butcher's locker? And these days most people have large full size fridges if they move into a newer residence? Was the killer trying to take advantage of the fact that chilling the bodies makes it impossible to determine time of death? The victims... all human, right? Both genders? male? Female? All ages? Mostly if not all adults? | ||

By Lynne (Lynne) on Wednesday, March 08, 2006 - 09:05 pm: Was they all murdered so that they could be used for medical research? There have been scandals in scientific ommunities from time to time, but, come on! No. By Lisa (Dlcygnet) on Wednesday, March 08, 2006 - 09:45 pm: Did the FF victims simply all happen to have fridges and freezers that were actually big enough or convenient enough for the killer to use? No Whereas older fridges and freezers (older than 25 years?) really weren't big enough to accomodate people unless it was a restaurant or butcher's locker? This could be a factor I suppose, but not the main point And these days most people have large full size fridges if they move into a newer residence? As above Was the killer trying to take advantage of the fact that chilling the bodies makes it impossible to determine time of death? No The victims... all human, right? Both genders? male? Female? All ages? Mostly if not all adults? All correct |
