So it's a miracle that he didn't kill you.

I mean, yeah, I thought, oh, maybe he thought he had killed you the first time.

And that he didn't then come back and finish it.

Yeah.

Is quite miraculous.

Yeah.

I'm sure now you know lots about the offender, who you didn't know at the time.

Yeah.

Had he offended before?

Yes.

Yep.

um but because that dna was in the victorian system it wasn't until they did the national joining that then it came up straight away a former police woman who we spoke to years ago i'll never forget saying that they check the window sills for dna because they find that these men these offenders often masturbate while watching women through their windows yeah okay yeah so you're just saying that they found his dna on women's beds yeah that's what he'd been doing yeah

Again, there's a disturbing pattern to it, what he's done.

So for those six or eight years?

Six.

Six years you're trying to recover and not knowing where he is?

No.

Yeah.

But I mean, they don't know how to handle this either.

No.
