Has he been named?

[Losmandris]

50/50 chance he was questioned as part of house to house enquiries. Otherwise no record at I reckon.

Yes, I am sure he was at least subject to a house to house enquiry at some point and possibly questioned, and his name put in a file somewhere along with scores of others. After the double event 300 men questioned, 80 detained for further questioning for example.

I do not think he has been named.

This is one directed to the non-suspect theorists.

Do you think the likelihood is that the killer's name is somewhere buried in the mountains of police reports, newspaper clippings, speculations and more? Or was the killer such an obscure, elusive figure that he managed to completely avoid detection?

Non suspect theorists...so I have a categorizable belief?

I believe that there is no single "suspect" that was within, or is within, any police file or record that was likely to be the man they sought for the Canonical Group slayings. I believe that there are very good suspects for some individual murders within that Unsolved File though. Trying to match just one man to all Five...or as some modern theorists seem to embrace, more than just that Five,...was never something that was going to work. Because based on just the existing evidence potential motives other than the mad killer satisfying bloodlust are suggested.

Its "The Killer"premise that has always been a detriment to the investigations and as a result, this study.

IMHO I think there is 90% chance his name is there somewhere whether a suspect, person of interest, witness or any peripheral player.
