I wanted a thread to discuss the circumstances surrounding the crimes that Alcala committed and ones he is suspected of committing (i.e. Ellen Jane Hover July 15, 1977). I thought it was important to learn more about the way he might have "operated."
In an article in the Reading Eagle dated July 31, 1977, it talks about how Ellen's stepfather had out up about 3,000 posters in the area Ellen lived (Third Avenue & 44th Street) asking for information.
Meanwhile, a private investigator Nat Laurendi, a former New York City policeman who was retained by Ellen's stepfather Ruben Schwartz. Laurendi said he had interviewed more than 50 possible witnesses and only got one clue and that was that she had been seen with a young pony-tailed man watching a fire next door just hours before the blackout and that same man was seen knocking of her apartment the next day. "He may or may not be named John Brugh," Laurendi said.

The article below dated August 15, 1977 notes that police believe that a photographer with a pony tail - a John Burgh or John Burger may know something about her disappearance. The article also states that it is believed that Ellen met him at the unemployment office.
