One has to wonder if he's not on some list or old database just like Gary Ridgeway and the btk were. I also wondered, like Ausgirl, if he came from middle class or above, and never lived up to expectations. The man who stood and complained at the meeting and ended up getting attacked is horrifying, and made me wonder if his mother or maybe even a neighbor attended that meeting.
 
Bingo, Vicki. EAR/ONS was likely at that meeting, and did not stand out because he fit right in... a local, a man who did not look at all out of place in a nice, affluent suburb. The terrifying aspect of that particular crime and the panic is engendered in the people of the area (and the effect it had on local cops..) would have made the perp extremely happy, I think.

Robin, I really need to look at the ransacker.. any good sites? Also looking for more reading material on ear/ons. The AETV is awesome, they've covered all these questions ad infinitum it seems. Still, I think asking them/looking at them with fresh eyes cannot hurt.
 
Wow, one pic of him looks like the other sketches. The prominent nose and narrow lower facial area. He's taller than 5'10 - 6 feet though.
 
Aus, have a look here

IIRC the town hall meeting where the man stood up was impromptu. It wasn't a meeting about EAR/ONS but I'm told about crime in general, somebody brought EAR up as one of the Q/A's.

I personally think EAR was a cyclist on the CB resident patrols.
 
Do police really believe he wrote the General Custer summary and Mad is the Word note? I finally found them, but can't compare side by side. The f's do look alike, but he could have stolen a spiral notebook from someone. Whoever it is isn't a perfect speller. I noticed he said he'd be ashamed "for" his sixth grade forever. That sounds Hispanic wording over to English. The BTK also worded one of his writings like that, and he was taking college classes, and probably Spanish.

Reading everything in the middle of the night while having to sleep in daytime for a few weeks is creeping me out. Last night a neighbor dog kept barking and the night before my dog was acting weird and would not let me walk towards the back door. Now I'm imagining a peeper after having had a real one at intervals some years back, thus the mean dog now.

Ooh I hear you!! I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback and to us he's a gentle giant but to the little punks that tried getting in my backyard... Not so :) we got him because our new house backs onto a busy walkway... Best money spent ever!!

Same thing here, 10 stone dog, we all sleep easier.
 
Just from reading everything starting with the ransackings, it makes me think the guy was either a student of or worked at a university or college. Most ransackings were fri-sun. Classes might have been mon - thurs. Then later, not knowing the day of the week, he appeared to attack around early in the first week and after the middle of each month, almost as if on a getting paid every two weeks or getting a check on the 1st. Some dates were on the 28th or 30th and he or his mother could have gotten a social security or disability check a few days earlier due, maybe, to a weekend.

I can just about guarantee you Stephen Pearsal has been dead since September 1982 when he was murdered by the Lewiston Civic Theater Killer.
 
Something that's stuck with me for a while now, in reviewing known communications/talk from EAR/ONS -- he tends to be very repetitive in his speech (and possibly writing?). Like, he uses the same phrases and words over and over.

I'm not sure what that could mean, aside from maybe he had a "script" running in his head before each crime and was following it. But he repeats things so often, it seems to me like a habit he might have had in his life outside the crimes.

There seems to be a lot of "habitual" behaviour with this guy. I think I need to put more thought to this, review the material. But there's something in it worth looking at, maybe.

That's a really good observation, Vicki. It could be marking the transition from school to working/welfare..

VR seemed to avoid Tuesdays & Thursdays .. the only Thursday attack I can find is the Snelling murder. Like he went off-track for the attempted abduction, maybe organised himself around that particular night for some reason. Or maybe he just happened to have access to a vehicle that night.. How'd he have kidnapped somebody without one?

There has been a new clue. There had been paint at 2 rapes and one murder scene connected to EAR/ONS. They are asking for people to come forward who might know of men who painted on a Mall project that was going on near two of the murders.

This could be huge if they can connect one of their numerous suspects to either of those construction jobs.

It could be but paint evidence didn't lead to the solution of the Jack the Stripper Case although it did enable police to find the building where the bodies were initially stored.
