Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright likely has victims abroad, former cop fears

A retired police officer believes the Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright may have committed murders abroad during his time on a cruise ship.

Chris Clark, a retired police officer, speculates that the notorious Suffolk Strangler, Steve Wright, may have additional victims outside the UK based on his time working as a steward on the luxury QE2 cruise liner from 1982 to 1986. Clark, who is currently composing a book about Wright, is taking proactive steps by contacting law enforcement agencies around the world, urging them to examine cold cases that could be connected to Wright's history as a serial killer.

Wright's timeline is concerning to Clark, particularly since he committed his first recognized crime at the age of 34. This raises the possibility that he was engaged in predatory behavior prior to his known offenses. Clark notes that during his time on the QE2, particularly when on shore leave, Wright had opportunities to seek out potential victims in various ports around the globe. Clark’s assertions suggest a troubling scenario of Wright possibly evading justice in multiple countries.

With the increasing awareness of unsolved cases and the nature of serial offenders, Clark's claims could reignite interest in old cases that might have been overlooked. The potential for more victims linked to Wright not only expands the narrative of his crimes but also emphasizes the need for international collaboration in addressing serial killings and their historical contexts.
