of situations. For example if my kids are riding, I like to be there,
not to tell them what to do, but to keep everyone safe. I want
to be in control for the safety factor, for the sake of keeping
things from going wrong.
Tell me about animals, how do you feel about animals?
They are a big part of my life. I love animals, I hate unfairness
to animals. As much as I hate people being cruel to animals, I
hate people spoiling animals as well.
Which animals are your favorites?
Dogs and horses. And I have a tortoise and hamsters.
What about wild animals?
Yes, I like wild animals as well.
Which especially?
Wolves.
What about them?
Just the way they are. They have a perfect way of being – it’s
fair, they hunt in a pack. Any pack animal is lovely to watch,
they co-exist. I like their community. I admire that.
What about it?
Just the way they have such a good hierarchy and they don’t
argue about it. They might have little squabbles but everything
works well within their group. And the same with horses, they
have a herd and they all work together. I like the teamwork,
I like the way they work together. With wolves, I like the way
they hunt together. The same with wild dogs. I like the way
they all communicate and get on, they all work together. I feel
the same about work – if I go and work somewhere, I like to
have that same community spirit.
At school I didn’t like all the gossip and back-biting. I cannot
stand that, it really annoys me.
What stood out about you as a child?
I was quite a determined child. I was cross with my mum
because she didn’t respect herself.
Describe that more.
I was very angry with my mother for letting my father treat her
badly. I was always wanting to take over. If you look at it in
the animal kingdom, I wanted to be head of the pecking order.
Describe it more.
The strongest and the fiercest. In any group that I’ve been
in I’ve wanted to be the strongest and the fiercest, not to
control or boss everyone but for my own satisfaction. I al-
ways wanted to be top dog, to justify everything, for it to
be fair in my eyes.
Say more about being the strongest and the fittest.
The one everyone looks to for protection. I liked the fact that
I could be strong, protect my sister. I had great pride in that. If
anyone upset my mother I’d be there, I’d protect her.
Describe it more.
Being the biggest and the strongest, you get to dictate who
has what. Like in the animal kingdom when you have a catch
of meat, everyone gets their fair share. Two dogs fighting – you
don’t want that.
Do you have any dreams?
As a child I had a dream of three bears chasing me. I had another
dream of a flood and I was trying to get everyone out of a
window, trying to get the family out. I had a terrifying dream
of taking the children out and losing them.

At this point in the analysis we know it is animal
and one that lives in a group but is a predator. What is left in
the case to pinpoint the species?
