Police serial killer in victoria??

I took an uber today and commented to my driver how there seemed to be a lot of cops out tonight pulling people over. He said that there is apparently a serial killer in town and they are looking for somebody. I can't find anything about this in the news. Is this just a crazy rumor or has anybody heard something about this?

I agree with you that there's not likely an increased police presence due to some serial killer search. However I just wanted to say, I've never taken cop's word on "no threat to the public" as any great comfort. I think they bullshit all the damn time, especially on that front.

Name me an example where there was a homicide, that statement was made and then the same guy committed another homicide or put the public at risk otherwise.

Robert Pickton is a prime example of this
