Little Finger

Sgt Groves, aka Little Finger, has a peculiar fetish that began one fateful night back in 1979 when he cordoned off his first crime scene. First to arrive at the scene of an horrific fire, everything was ash, except for the body of one woman, a beautiful woman. 

Groves, a constable at the time, was so captivated by her lying, without ash or burns on top of a smouldering cesspool. So overcome by her image, Groves decided he needed to take something from her to try to quell the overwhelming sense of desire for the young woman. So, he snipped off her pinky finger, wrapped it in police tape and shoved it into his pocket only moments before more police arrived.

That was the beginning for Reachville's Little Finger, mistakenly known as the serial killer plaguing the town.

Groves is always first on scene because he goes out looking for the inevitable body of a young woman after figuring out the pattern of the actual serial killer, although he never knew who it was. He didn't want to know.
