Murder on the Margins: Women Strangled, Killer at Large
The Chicago Tribune ^ | January 3, 2018

Posted on 01/12/2018 5:34:59 AM PST by PBRCat

Over the last 17 years, at least 75 women have been strangled or smothered in Chicago and their bodies dumped in vacant buildings, alleys, garbage cans, snow banks. Arrests have been made in only a third of the cases, according to a first-ever analysis by the Tribune.

While there are clusters of unsolved strangulations on the South and West sides, police say they’ve uncovered no evidence of a serial killer at work. If they are right, 50 murderers have gotten away with their crime.

Thank goodness, Chicago Mayor Rahm "Law and Order" Emanuel, County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, State's Attorney Kim Foxx, Chief Judge Timothy Evans and County Sheriff Tom Dart have emptied the jails to satisfy BLM activists. It is discriminatory to actually lock up the criminals.

It’s a known hazard of being a street walking prostitute as the article finally mentions. It’s also a tough crime to solve because there is no obvious connection to the killer.

And that is a lot higher than arrests made in gun-related homicides.

It’s been a problem in Chicago since the 1800’s:

Social justice warriors and merit promotion have ruined C.P.D.
Liberals got the police department they wanted, now live with the results.

100% correct. A+.

Rahm Emanuel owns this disaster in the police department.

After dismissing Police Superintendent McCarthy, as a means of saving his own hide after suppressing the Laquan McDonald video, Emanuel appointed a search committee to help select nominees for a new superintendent. After the search concluded and a list of prospects was generated, Emanuel appointed Eddie Johnson who had not applied for the job and had not been interviewed by the committee. Emanuel wanted was a stooge.

Strangulation and beating is far more common than bullets as a method for murder.

Less than 30% of murders are solved in Chicago. In other words, over 70% of killers in Chicago got away with murder. Mainly because of the thug life attitude in Chicago where few people cooperate with the police. Yet black lies matter thinks the real problem is police shooting thugs.
