All his victims were, in classic serial killer mode, strangled, and their clothes were removed, either as a safeguard against the discovery of possible forensic evidence, or as trophies-the serial killer's penchant for the collection of a wide range of selected keepsakes, such as Christie's tobacco tin of assorted pubic hairs and the fragmented ossuary of the Milwaukee necrophilic anthropophage, Jeffrey Dahmer, to Shipman's magpie tangle of jewellery, filched from victims.
