Dr. Shipman had one of the best guises a serial killer could expect to have. He was a family doctor, a pillar of society, respected by his colleagues and patients (England, 2015). This, on its face value made it inconceivable that he could be responsible for murdering so many people. When suspicions first arose that something criminal may be afoot with the unusually high number of deaths occurring out of Dr. Shipman’s practice, things were overlooked that could have allowed the police to end this case sooner. If certain facts, and evidence had been discovered, I believe it would have been enough to convict Dr. Shipman.
