The father of missing teenager, Becky Galsworthy has posted a message on facebook suggesting his daughter may have been the victim of a sexual assault.
Darren Galsworthy has asked all wives, girlfriends and mothers to check the underwear of their partners, just in case they see any blood there that they cannot explain. Sixteen year old Becky disappeared over a week ago and has not been sighted ever since. His message read ” TO ALL WIVES, MOTHERS, AND GIRLFRIENDS, IT WAS MY BABY GIRL’S TIME OF THE MONTH, SO IF YOU HAVE WASHED ANY BLOOD FROM YOUR PARTNER’S OR SON’S UNDERWEAR AND THEY CAN’T EXPLAIN IT, PLEASE IMAGINE IF IT THIS WAS YOUR CHILD PLEASE REPORT IT”.
It is a well known fact that most murderers and sexual offenders have partners, but for some strange reason cannot control their perverse and depraved urge to sexually abuse others. Many of such men are also very controlling with their partners, in fact their partners may even be intimidated by them. However, where your partner may be a murderer, it only makes sense that you shop him in because he may kill you yourself in an angry or jealou8s rage one day. In saying this, it is difficult to imagine many partners shopping their man or many mothers shopping their son for murder. Who wants to lose their son or boyfriend to a lifetime in jail? When love and emotions enter the picture, rationality is often compromised, Most worrying in instances like this, is the likelihood that any partner or mother who discovered blood on their partner or son’s underwear is more likely to first confront the man about it and eventually swallow whatever explanation they provide since they would not want to believe the man in question may actually be the murderer.
The possibility that in any event the police investigates and finds nothing really incriminating, the woman will be left to face the wrath of the man is an even scary thought for any woman. What if the man on whose pants the blood was discovered is a relative of the family? Many abductions and murders of young school girls have been committed by a family member, such is the dysfunctional state of many families. One weirdo in the family becomes the source of serious danger! In 2001, there was a nationwide hunt for missing Danielle Jones, who was 15 at the time. She was last seen entering a blue transit van, and her Uncle owns one. I was the same age as her at the time and became fixated on the story, as I was on any story of a missing teenage girl at the time. Stories like that caused the hairs on my body to stand and wised me up to be extra vigilant in all my activities. Her Uncle, Stuart Campbell was eventually convicted for her murder after the girls DNA was found on a bloody cloth in his loft. Her body was never found and he never revealed what he did with it. His wife was the sister of Danielle’s father, and she was by all accounts a beautiful woman. Despite all this, he developed an irresistible attraction to his niece, always picking her up from school and chronicling his encounters with her in a diary. Is it possible that the abductor and perhaps killer of missing Becky is a family member?
Within hours of Darren’s facebook post, police ushered both Darren and his disabled wife out of their home and taken to a ‘safe home’. Investigators combed the property and took photographs of the front and left with bags. It is only natural to conclude that police want to eliminate every family member from their enquiries. There is no suggestion made that her father is guilty, because every one must be given the benefit of the doubt until contrary evidence emerges that points in the direction of any particular individual. However, my eyes are looking first at the internal family. Already, the police have charged four people including her step brother. Terrible! Sometimes the monster to worry about is on the inside, not the outside
