Serial Killer in Subic

19 years ago

I'm a little nervous to tell my story as I don't want to draw any
attention to me or my wife's family in Subic, but I have to tell someone and start somewhere.

I'm a homeowner in Subic City, and my wife has quite a large family in the area (imagine that). I use the home as a vacation spot until I feel like checking out of the rat race, and moving there permanently.

About 6-8 weeks ago, I was shocked to hear about a murder in Subic City.

The body was left in Calapacuan, Saint James Subdivision, Subic City in a vacant lot. A teenage girl was found in the open, naked, raped, and her genital area set on fire. Very sad for her family and very scary for the community. Of course, I'm sure no DNA testing was done as it's too expensive, and nobody was ever charged.

That's enough right there to make me sick, but it goes on. About 3 or 4 days ago another body was found. This time it was in Brgy Cawag, Subic, Zambales. This young mother resided in the resettlement area in Cawag.

She was found in a rice field, in the open also. She was also raped. She also had her genital area set on fire. In addition she was also stabbed.

I know of these 2 murders because my wife has family all over the place. But do you think the Subic City and Cawag police talk to each other? Do you think the Subic City police have asked Barrio Baretto, Olongapo, Gordon Heights, etc if they have had any similar murders. I sincerely doubt it. No DNA so you can't link them forensically, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where this is going. The killer is most likely picking his next victim and looking for a dump site. I'm not even over there right now and it scares me.

I'm sure someone over there can verify my story. The first
young lady was left in a large open lot past lot 11/12 in the Saint James Subdivision in Calapacuan. The second lady was found on a farm in Cawag, near the resettlement area.

I just want to put out the warning to the ladies in the whole area. Do not accept rides from anyone you don't know and travel in groups.

I'm definitely nervous about my next visit, never mind moving there until this individual is sitting on death row. Common sense tells me he has a car or van, and enough money to afford to pay for gas while he stalks his victims. Trikes have different colors and can't go into other barrios without risking the chance of a ticket, so I doubt it's a trike driver. No jeepneys in Cawag.

Maybe somebody should say something to the police before they beat a false confession out of someone and the killer keeps killing.

Enough said.
