Author: Billy Markland Sunday, 26 January 2003 - 10:02 am | |
With the conviction of John Robinson in the serial murders of three women in the Overland Park, KS area, the judge has rescinded the gag order imposed during the trial. As a result, the accompanying link has the first article featuring the background to the investigation since Robinson's arrest many moons ago. The URL is: http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/local/5031054.htm Billy P.S. Robinson is still facing trial for three bodies discovered in a rental storage locker over the state line in Missouri.

Hey Billy, First time I've heard of the phrase "8 to 5 serial killer". Sometimes you really have to consider JtR as that sort, someone capable of pulling off a complete double life...... "Robinson, the surveillance officers learned, was a creature of habit. During the day, when his wife was at work, Robinson was out and driving about. He did not appear to have a job, but he constantly talked on his cellular phone and frequently met with women. When his wife came home, he was there. He rarely went out in the evening without her. Morrison said Robinson was an "8-to-5 serial killer." "It became very apparent he had a double life," Morrison said. "

Hi Sir Robert, A double life would have been easier to pull off in 1888, when wives, mothers or sisters were less likely to question a man's movements. Love, Caz

With all Robinson's "gallivanting" during the day, is it any wonder he stayed at home at night? Poor guy must of been bushed! The scary thing is, are there more bodies to be found? Obviously, he did not put them all in the barrels as Lisa's body is still missing. Her child, as you read, was adopted thru Robinson by his brother and sister-in-law. That makes me wonder where his other hiding place is. If anyone can find it, Morrison can. That man is an absolute bulldog in going after criminals. Glad you found it of interest. Best of wishes, Billy
