Carman Tells Mother Pattaya Arrest Is Real

Like so many others, especially in America lately, they have them on radar but nothing's done until a tragedy strikes. Understandably they can't be arrested for sketchy behavior.

And per Donald Rumsfeld 2002 (in part):

We also know there are known unknowns: that is to say we know there are some things [we know] we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

Two mothers suffer. Carman's and Cake's. All mothers love their children, no matter what they become.

Thailand has medical tourism and dental tourism.

His mother will soon join those who partake in prison tourism, visiting family who are locked up in Thailand. This demographic of tourist continues to grow in Thailand.

Do a fact check the cause of death was strangulation....he didn't use a knife

Sigh, is that the best you can do to deflect?

Suitcases, according to you, are evidence that he planned the whole thing in advance as part of a serial killing spree. Obviously the knives were meant for the NEXT victim./s

Seriously, how you can concoct a serial killer theory out of a guy who has some empty suitcases in his house is really far out there.

No, I'm not saying he is either, although this might not be the first victim of his. Isolation is a huge symptom of a mental illness , which can be depression or a lot worse. People don't just start killing innocents without some past behavioral problems. It can be held back awhile before they explode like this, or started by killing animals for pleasure. Serial killers always start with one person. Crimes of passion are another thing entirely, which this could have been, but anger to make a person kill another comes from somewhere.................https://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/research%20-%20forensic/2005%2020-1-Mitchell-40-47.pdf.

He isolated himself from his family. It appears he was more than happy to mix with bar girls. And there is the friend who stored stuff at his apartment that he was going to have lunch with.

Not being in regular contact with family living in a different country, doesn’t mean isolated in the sense of not interacting with anyone at all.

There's nothing wrong with police trying to find a connection with this murder, and other murders with a similar modus operandi.

Indeed, when news broke of this case, I suggested even police in Australia would be looking into this guy.

What I think is that there is no plausible indication either in Thailand or in Australia that Mr. Carman was involved in any other homicide.

... so far. But I also neither see nor hear any sign that anyone is looking more closely at this character.

Oz and Thai national police should be going through his past with a fine tooth comb. Where he's lived and worked. Any cold cases close by. There is absolutely no excuse for not doing so. Prostitute killers are notorious for serial killing.

Fact is he's just killed a 17 year old sex worker over, he claims, a couple of dollars. Killed her. That is another league entirely. This is not drunkenly hitting a taxi driver, like some performing bogan or chav. He murdered her. Not many people have that in their CV. It's very special.

I had a dispute with a starfish in Phuket way back when. It never occurred to me to actually KILL her even though I was not a happy camper at all. I sent her packing with half the price (to make it easier though I got nothing for it other than starfish and dispute) and the threat that if she didn't shift her pretty backside outta my room pronto I'd get the police round and she'd get nothing. She left reluctantly (presumably she'd have to find an excuse for her pimpfriend for only getting half the dosh). But she left in one piece.

They certainly should be.

Yep, nothing wrong with considering the possibility. But there is a limit to the amount of time that should be spent examining ever yet more incredulous possibilities.

Can I ask how long it has been since he was in Australia?

Load of nonsense. Lots of serial killers had normal lives.

Serial killers really don't have normal lives.

Many appear to lead 'normal' lives having built a picture of normality and knowing how to appear and behave normally like all psychopaths do. Like Peter Suttcliffe did.

There is nothing normal about secretly going around killing people, usually vulnerable women, usually prostitutes or junkies of some kind, either singly or in series, which is their REAL life.

I don't know when he was last in Australia, but imagine if there were missing sex workers, or the bodies of sex workers discovered, in various locations where this guy was living in Australia, over a certain time frame.

Two other deceased people have been found in suitcases in Pattaya. There is nothing wrong with considering this guy as a potential suspect in those cases.

Ivan Milat, Australia's backpacker serial killer, is linked to other missing / murdered people. Police just could not obtain enough evidence in those cases. They went missing at locations where he was working, and fitted the same victim profile.

Thai police investigate if Australian man charged over 17-year-old girl’s murder linked to other unsolved cases

Police say there are similarities but no evidence of links between Thunchanok Donhomla’s alleged murder and two other deaths in past two years in same region

Thai police are investigating whether an Australian man charged with murdering a 17-year-old girl could be linked to two unsolved cases in the region.

Police colonel Anek Srathongyoo, a superintendent of Pattaya City police station, told the Guardian on Tuesday that although there was no evidence linking Simon Peter Carman to the cases in neighbouring regions, they were investigating the possibility given similarities between the cases.

Srathongyoo said the two unsolved cases in the last two years also involved similar crime scenes with women’s bodies found in suitcases, but they had been more difficult to solve because more time had passed between the women’s deaths and their bodies being found.

Well hopefully police in Thailand and Australia will read on this website to find out what they should be doing.
