Just a little snippet from the 'front' as it were:

As a little experiment, I always ask my tour groups how many victims they think JTR had. More often than not the answer is 5 or 6 with some wilder variations scattered about (30, 120 etc). This you would expect from a random collection of curious folk.

In the last few weeks, lots of people have been saying 7 and several admit to having seen the Mann documentary.

This, I believe, is a neat example of how theories presented in the mass media can percolate into general thinking on the case. It's happened before and will undoubtably happen many times in the future.
