Broomsticks placed in sliding doors. Dowels inserted into bedroom windows. Handguns near the nightstand. Large dogs suddenly introduced to homes.

began his serial murder and rape spree in Sacramento as the East Area Rapist, hundreds of area residents are recalling the terror they felt as he haunted the city’s eastern suburbs, slipping into homes in the night to assault victims, then disappear seemingly without a trace.

Their recollections — from residents, people who were children at the time, and potential victims — are collected in an extraordinary 226-page online bookassembled by Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, whose own childhood was affected by the crime spree.

''On Feb. 2, 1978 – a Thursday – Air Force Sgt. Brian Maggiore, 21, and his 20-year-old wife, Katie, were murdered when their evening stroll ended in a frantic chase and bursts of gunfire.

Detectives could not know it at the time, but the Maggiores’ deaths four blocks away from their apartment marked a critical turning point in the crime spree of the East Area Rapist, also known as the Golden State Killer.''

''But the Maggiore killings are believed to be his first, and detectives who have worked the case for decades still are mystified by what triggered the slayings.''

''Did the pair stumble across the suspect in a ski mask as he was casing his next rape victim’s home? Or had he graduated to a new level of violence, and they were the first unfortunate victims?''

''One theory was that Brian Maggiore was known to be protective of his wife, and their encounter on the street or in the yard could have escalated''.

''Detectives have speculated that the suspect, who shot the young couple in the backyard of a home as they fled, was attempting to protect his identity after the Maggiores saw him, according to The Washington Post.''

“He (Brian) wasn’t going to let this go,” Biondi mused. “He would fight, and it might have been that aspect where Brian would try to defend both of them.”
I know this theory, hoped for a definite answer.
 
Is anyone else reading the new book by DeAngelo's brother-in-law that just came out? I highly recommend it as an interesting read.

He does have a comment on the 1981-1986 time period, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to quote it here. Am I correct?

Since he (and I) are local, he does add more information to the timeline as far as locations. I was surprised to see that one of the EAR's presumed prowl/burglary incidents was barely a half of a block from my current house. (Eek!)


What's the book? Name and author please.

To Jim, DeAngelo was his sister’s husband, a man he trusted with his children, a man he thought he knew for 48 years. Walk through Jim’s memories of DeAngelo, from their shared hobbies to red flags in DeAngelo’s behavior that stand out sharply in hindsight.
