Holy shit. Women too, eh.

This murder was big news at the time.

An argument and a thud. How did no one notice the murder of popular U of T art professor David Buller?

There was no evidence of a break-in at Buller’s office, no blood on his or any other door in 1 Spadina Crescent, and no DNA or murder weapon was found.

The rate of domestic violence amongst lesbians if I remember correctly is 2 times that of gay men and higher than hetero couples.

Killer was so sloppy he left his underwear at the scene LOL, back in the day it was unsolved...Brian Coldburger left the knife sheath at the scene and they found him in 2 weeks.

That's a somewhat misleading statistic, if it is the one I am remembering.

The lifetime chance that a lesbian or bisexual woman experiences domestic violence is higher.
But that isn't the same as violence in lesbian relationships being higher.
Remember that many lesbians did date men for some portion of their lives before coming out.

That said, I think the rates of domestic violence within queer relationships is still just as high as in het relationships and depending on the given study, sometimes higher/sometimes lower.

Correct, and the studies suggest that bisexual women are more likely to experience abuse at the hands of men they date than straight women.
