The Abduction of a Child

Three attacks have now been linked to the same offender. The time patent between each attack was decreasing, and the time in which he held his victims was increasing. Police came up with a name for him, mister cruel. Unnamed detectives were quoted as apparently supporting this theory due to mister cruele's obsession with cleaning and destroying clues. Some accused the police of resorting to this tactic because they were getting desperate. Detective inspector maloney denied this, saying he was confident the case would be solved.
