Hmmmm...  so you prefer to think that incidents involving people going 
in to a house and not SEEN to be coming out... are inherently as notable 
as a number of unexplained children showing up? Just how closely do you 
s/p/y/ o/n/ watch your neighbors? You don't believe it's possible for 
people to enter or leave a neighbor's house without you noticing? You 
think 33 people couldn't get out of someone's house over a period of 
2190 days (1 every 2 months, on average[1]) without you seeing them?  
Your odds are even worse with Dahmer... 17 over about 4,700 days, or 
about 1 every 9 months. [2]

....And the Austrian man's WIFE? What, did she think the STORK was 
dropping the babies off? 

....as said in another thread....


Wow...


[1] John Wayne Gacy, 33 victims over 6 years.

[2] Jeffery Dahmer, 17 victims over 13 years. Drop the first, and it's 
16 over 4 years... still "only" 1 every 3 months.
