I previously mentioned this woman, but I decided to mention her again because I don't think her boyfriend has been identified.

Good point, The Vietnam war ended in 1975 so it was fairly recent to the time of the killings. I wonder why he spared Lisa.
I think he may have killed Denise in Canada. He talks about Canada and it would make sense to travel to CA through Canada. Back in those days you didn't need a passport to go through Canada and most people who travelled cross-country traveled through Canada because it was cheaper. There's always a bit of truth to a lie, and his bit of truth may not be that he met her in Canada, but that she's buried somewhere there.
I believe that he spared Lisa, because he had only recently killed her mother, Denise. Then he was living in the campground where many people saw him with the child. It would have been easier to give her away, than to explain her disappearance.
I think you're on to something with that. Another thing I just now thought of, their living condition could have played a factor. In the RV resort where we know neighbors remember him he was living in the shell of a camper with Lisa. Not somewhere a murder scene could happen and not be heard with campers/RVs/tents within close proximity to you. I think you're spot on with that.
Another reason he could have kept her alive was simply because he was lonely. We don't know of any other women yet that he was involved with after Denise and before Eunsoon. We can only hope that is it! With the Allenstown victims I believe he may have killed them when he was on to another new family, that being Denise and Dawn/Lisa.
Allentown's victim theory: The adult victim could have been an old girlfriend that he abandoned and left his child from a previous relationship with. He just skipped town on them one night and ended up in Manchester. Maybe even the stuff he said in the letter he left with Lisa was referring to his own child. That the mother was older and didn't want the child. The adult victim moved on and had a child in a new brief relationship. She eventually found out his whereabouts and went there to drop off his daughter he abandoned because he was becoming too hard to care for 3 children, but he killed them so they wouldn't interfere with his new life with Denise. (Dang it!!! Just realized the isotopes don't match this theory! They suggest she was only with the others for a couple of months. Thought I was on to something! :tantrum
Sorry I tend to blabber, but one thing I had been thinking of for the reason he killed his own daughter, maybe he had never closely bonded with her. The isotopes suggest all the victims were only together for a couple of months (like mentioned above), and Evans child possibly came from somewhere else. I'm guessing he had her before moving in 1977 to Manchester. She had never bonded with her dad in her early life and maybe that was frustrating for him. If he did kill her mom and kidnap her, she probably would have reacted to him like he was a stranger; where as, with Lisa he had bonded with her from birth, in other words they had connected and she trusted him like a parent.
I came across this woman and it just reminded me of Robert Evans. And his whereabouts at the time of this womans disappearance is not accounted for. It would be interesting to find out if the womans Husband was Legally Married to her and what he looked like.

There hasn't been much action on this story in past few weeks so ive taken this chance to regroup.since they know the 3 are maternally related,I've been researching missing cousins,sisters,aunts, and other variables.my list was huge.i carefully disected each story,and crossed them off my list.the only ones remaining as possibilities ,are two NATIVE cousins,who ran away from.their reservation in 1979.now,one cousin,Elsie eldora luscier,was 13,but was 5'1.but her cousin,Carlota Maria Sanchez,12,5't-5'7.i thought how could this fit?Carlota was very tall for her age...could she have been the woman in barrel?could Elsie have been the oldest child?and between their disappearance in August 1979,could one of them had given birth to a baby,hence the youngest child aged 1-3?after I had heard the story of kerry graham n her friend,how DNA said it was a boy n girl,I have kept an open mind.is this plausible?any thoughts?
If the police take a cotton swab for DNA purposes, isn't that cotton swab placed in the files in case it needs to be used later? Couldn't Robert Evans' DNA still be on file to be used in more elaborate tests?
Thanks!height is almost always an approximation,imo..the deceased(especially with dismemberment )and decomposition.and the missing ?I mean,for the most part,people guess our height if reporting us missing.i do think is,a very small window for one to have,a baby-)yet,it I possible.at this point,I feel like its gonna be something we didn't expect.I really like this find! They match the isotopes for the related victims! Kerry Graham and Francine Trimble is an excellent example. They originally thought Graham was a male as young as ten years old and around 5'2-5'11; although, she was actually 4'9 and 14/15 years old. I'm sure it happens all the time with skeletal remains. Since the oldest victims were dismembered, I wonder if the height is accurate.

Wow! Great find! Modesto CA is 3 hs-3 hrs 30 mins from San Luis Obispo where he was arrested later in 1988. She has dark hair, which he seemed to have liked (Denise, Adult victim, Eunsoon). She has a C-section scar which makes me wonder if her child's whereabouts are known. I wonder if dumping his victims in state parks would be his MO or Bear Brooks was just an opportunity since he did work there.
