So you think Hunzinger's wife was done by our so-called 'Big Woodsman?'

There isn't a remote similarity in the M.O. The Woodsman is an abductor. He never kills in their homes.

I think Hunzinger's wife was his first victim. When he almost got caught, he changed his M.O., abducting, taking them from the home, then killing them.

But his signature is the same.

The larynx? The four women our Woodsman has killed didn't have their larynxes removed.

In one case, the hyoid bone was destroyed, crushed with bolt cutters. In another, beaten flat with a hammer. Two others were garroted with piano wire, severing their tracheas. In each case, the aim was to stop them from speaking.

'Silence is golden?'

He's silencing somebody he knows... his wife or his mother. Once they're silenced, they become a captive audience. Still listen, be sympathetic. That's what he wants. That's why he never disfigures their faces.

Do you think he's got a nagging wife? We've always pegged The Woodsman as a... loner.

Well, he never does a blitz attack. He easily enters middle-class homes and confronts them. He's comfortable there. I think that's where he lives. I think he does not live alone.
