News in review.

    A news in review, with a difference, for you this time. Instead of something recent we are going back in time to a new report from March 2009, because it's something I think you'll find interesting. 

    So this is the story of  the mysterious serial killer know as "The woman without a face." Now, what's so interesting about this woman is that she had police all across Europe looking for her, for 15 years, in connection with at least 6 brutal murders and a string of break ins. 

    Her DNA was found in connection with over 40 different cases, but that was the only clue to her involvement, that she ever left behind. 

    The first DNA found, connect to "the woman without a face" was in May 1993, on a teacup, at the home of a 62 year old German woman who had been strangled with a length of wire, that had originally been used to hold together a bunch of flowers. 

    And from that day on the same female DNA kept recurring at different crimes scenes all over Germany and Europe. 

    The police were baffled and started to DNA test over 3,000 homeless women, who were drug users and had a record of serious crime. But they were never able to find a DNA match. 

    When in 2007, a German police woman was shot dead in her BMW patrol car, and again, the DNA of "the woman without a face" was found to be present at the scene, they must have become even more infuriated at their inability to locate her. 

    They even put up a 3 million Euro reward, for anyone who could give them information that might lead to her arrest. Along with this they claimed that the reason the woman left no other traces of her presence beyond her DNA, was that she wore gloves. 

    But then after 15 years of searching, with her DNA continuing to turn up at a multitude of crime scenes, something very odd happened. 

    Police in France, on taking a swab from the charred remains of a male asylum seeker in an attempt to determine his identification, again found the DNA of "the woman without a face." 

    This instantly raised the suspicion, that the DNA that had been being found all over Europe at multiple crime scenes, was not DNA at the scene but DNA that had already been present on the swab. 

    German police who had been leading the hunt said "They had probably been involved in one of the longest and most perplexing wild goose chases in criminal history." With police spokesman Josef Schneider  admitting "This is a very embarrassing story."

    Now police investigators have established that the DNA had probably not been left by their quarry but by a German woman working for the German medical company, supply the swabs, who had inadvertently contaminated them. 

    Police have now launched an investigation into the methods used to produce the cotton swabs, in an attempt to establish, exactly how they became contaminated. 

    Can you imagine the frustration the police must have felt, who were involved in this case. All these years trying to catch "the woman with out a face" only to discover she was nothing more than a German factory working, just going about her job. 

    Having to revisit all those cases too. To try and uncover new evidence, after most of it has no doubt been destroyed or contaminated, over time. 

    We can laugh about their blunder, but the reality is, this blunter probably left to a lot of bad people continuing to roam freely and able to repeat their crimes again and again while the police were sent on a wild goose chase. 

    What do you think about this blunder? Are you as shocked as I was at how long it took for them to realise their mistake? feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Let's talk migrants!

So one of the biggest topics of discussion right now is migrants and whether or not we should let them into the UK.

On any discussion group now you will likely find people fighting about this, some saying yes they should while others firmly say no. 

So I decided to do a little research to try and get a better understanding of the situations. 

Now one of the biggest issues I can see with Letting migrants in, is the threat to our own safety. While many immigrants are genuinely seeking safety, there are others who are not, people who are coming in, claiming to be trying to escape the horrors of their own country, whilst actually being apart of Isis.

Isis, even told us that they would do this. That they would bring their people into our country in this very manner. 

They are playing on our compassionate nature, but how can we distinguish who is a genuin asylum seeker and who, is terrorist and a threat to our people. 

Because let's face it, if Isis is sending people in with the migrants, chances are they are intending to use those people to do terrible things. 

In Sweden there is a city where migrants were admitted. That city is now divided with one area that is completely made up of Muslim immigrants. 

Do swedes feel welcome wishing this community, no! In fact, the Muslims openly state that should Swedes come in they will be seriously hurt or killed. In essence the Swedes are not welcome in a part of their own country. 

The police cannot go into this area either, when they try riots break out and things get crazy. 

Yet the migrants go into Swedish areas and terrorise the people, stealing from them, yelling abuse and refusing to respect others and the community as a whole.

When the Swedish are asked, "Do you have any friends among the Muslims?" It is a resounding no, because they do not mix.

Though I a, sure on both sides that there are people who would love to get to know, more people from the other side, fear and an inability, in a lot of cases, to understand the other side, not just verbally but culturally, stops this from happening.

And here is another huge problem. We in the western world are taught to respect others differences, but a lot of the people from these countries have not, especially the Muslims. 

When the majority of Brits, go to another country, be it on Holiday or whatever, we try to respect that cultures rules and belief systems. Even if we don't necessarily agree with them. 

But it seems that, that is not the case for the majority of Muslims coming to the UK, or other European countries. 

Which leads to big problems. 

In all communities, there are good and bad people, but from what I have seen from watching videos crested by people who have had direct contact with immigrants, or countries that have allowed them in, is not good. 

Lorry drivers I France, say that they do not dare to try and stop imigrants from getting in their lorries, because the imigrants carry weapons and make threats.

So this isn't people saying "Please help us." This is peop,e saying "You will do as we say, or else." 

Bullies. 

These same Lorry drivers, will tell you that in the beginning they had compassion for these people, but not anymore, because they are aggressive and threatening. 

Is this really what we want to subject out children too. 

On another video I watched a young Muslim man admitted that within his own community, he had to be very careful who he associated with, as there were many who he knew would openly encourage him to break the law. That these people were everywhere and that they encouraged others to go out, into the countries that had allowed them in and rape, steal and abuse, from the people of that country. 

Further more, he stated that "We buy up vehicles cheaply and sell them on for ten times the price, to the Swedish." Sweden being the country who had allowed him and his community in. 

He went onto add, "that it was not his fault that the Swedish were stupid." 

It was clear throughout the whole video that they had no respect or gratitude towards the Swedish people who had ultimately come to their aid and my fear is that those who come to the UK will be the same. 

And if Isis are indeed among them, what the hell does that mean for us? What will happen?

I'm pretty sure they are not coming for a nice cup of tea and a bit of a chin wag. 

So I am torn. Apart of me wants to help the genuin asylum seekers,  but another part of me wonders just what doing so may bring to our country. 

Will we find ourselves in a situation like the Swedish, fearing for our lives. Feeling as if there are areas of our own country where we are simply not allowed and worrying about the safety of our children, especially daughters, because let's face it, a lot of these people have shown that they have no respect for women. 

The reality is one of fear. I am afraid what will happen if we let them in, while also afraid of sitting and doing nothing and allowing innocent children to suffer and die. 

So what I the answer? What do we do?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings on this matter. 

So be sure to leave a comment below.

Please note, I am not an expert on these things. I am mainly going off what I have heard in recent months via social media and the news. Like most I am simply trying to understand this topic and learn. So far what I have seen has left me mainly feeling scared or concerned. I am trying to get a bette idea and understanding and this is why comments are appreciated, from both those who are for letting them in and those who are against. 

I'll admit that at present I am more against the idea of letting them in than for, despite desperately wishing that we could help them, as I said before, helping them would be great, just not if it means putting our own people in danger from the very people we are trying to help.
