Prosecutors in the UK said, "Wright missed some evidence while cleaning fibres from the car and his clothes that linked him to the murders of these women."

I have noticed since the media covered the Robert Pickton serial killer trial in Canada, there has been other serial killings in Canada involving prostitutes, and now there seems to be a copycat in the UK.

It seems to me as though the power of the media might have opened up a new can of worms for those who are mentally sick, since it seems people are copying Robert Pickton in Vancouver or the Green Peace River killer in the US.

Do you think that this might be the reason for all these killings? It makes me wonder if the publicity for these murderers might be affecting those who are seeking a bit of a thrill, or maybe they are angry at the world because they weren't treated right. Who knows what goes through killers' minds.

When I covered the Robert Pickton trial I was doing so to help society understand what these girls had gone through as prostitutes in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. I knew what it was like for the victims, since I once stood amongst these women who were murdered. Some of these women were my friends.

Robert Pickton tried to pick me up once, furthermore, he tried selling me pork as I was sitting in the bar having a beer. It was too close for comfort and I'm grateful to be alive today.

I certainly hope we weren't advertising to those sick enough to murder. I only wanted to speak out for the women whose lives were stolen. I wanted society to know what it was like living as a prostitute coping with a chronic drug/alcohol addiction. I wanted society to know that there weren't enough supports to help these women.

If there were then maybe they wouldn't have been murdered or victimized. I wanted society to know that these women were people too. Unfortunately, they, as I was, were less fortunate and had to turn to prostitution. Most of the women came from dysfunctional families or were abused at some point in their lives.

How could anyone empower themselves to commit such a horrific crime? Are they watching too much television and losing touch with reality? Is our government or legal system too soft? Could our money be spent in better places than a new sky train or highway to Whistler in which we don’t have a say in?

How these murderers turn out to be so corrupt is beyond me. It's unfortunate, but things won’t change until ‘we’ as a whole put our foot down with these criminal. They did the crime so they should do the time! Why should they get more rights that those who were victimized?

I can only hope that the right person will realize this so maybe changes will be made. Then again, maybe nothing will change and we’ll continue to let repeat offenders or hard core criminals get away with murder.

I am so sorry to have heard the UK has a murderer who took the lives of five women (prostitutes) who might have fallen off the beaten track, but who were people too. My heart goes out to the families and the women.

I wish them luck with their copy cat murderer. Thank you for listening.
