Regarding Rodney Alcala he gravitated to the younger girls at times. Also, while it doesn't appear to be completely proven, as you may be aware there is speculation that Rodney was responsible for taking the life of Pamela Jean Lambson who disappeared from Fisherman's Wharf after meeting up with a man who told her he was a photographer. Apparently the sketch of the perp was kept by LE all these years and around 2011 they said the sketch was a dead ringer for Alcala. I will look and see if I can come across the sketch. If he was as far north as SF, it is only another hour and a half to Forestville. For those reason I feel he should not be discounted. Mother of woman allegedly killed by Rodney Alcala: I had to forgive so I could get closureAnd Alcala? While he frequented southern California, I have found no evidence that he spent any time in northern California, several hundred miles distant from LA, etc. (Yep, folks, Cali is a lot bigger than you realize.)
I am going to see what else I can that might go along with this notion of Rodney Alcala being responsible for Kerry and Francine's murders. I need to read the Lost Coast Highway book too.Could it be Kerry? I think Rodney is behind this malicious act.
mis-identifying Kerry's remains as a boy was one of the worst things in this saga.
I do wonder if it will be a problem going forward as the desire to be sensitive to the trans movement means there's more reluctance to identify remains by physical sex.0
I so agree with you. Kerry was thought to be a boy for far, far too long.
Thanks for these articles, burblestein. The first article states that Francine was misidentified as being male. I thought Kerry was the one first believed to be a boy.Latest article on Francine and Kerry (2 iterations):

I agree, Paul B. I've thought about that a lot. Perhaps Kerry might have been identified sooner if not for that.Kerry Graham being thought to be a teenage boy for decades is just saddening... @burblestein
