I vaguely remember reading about this case but watch the dateline episode last night. A few things stuck out at me.
I actually thought the most important clue was the very similar phone calls to other girls in the area. What I personally to deduce from that is that he did not have to know Amy's mother specifically, but that he was very likely lurking in the neighborhood to see which houses had girls who were alone on a regular basis. From there it would be a simple thing to get a phonebook (remember this was 1989) and look up a phone number or use a reverse lookup service. He could've gotten a last name from a piece of mail, but it is also possible that he lived in the neighborhood and knew people that lived there. It was very clear that he was so meticulous planner, and had fantasized about a crime like this for a long time.
Although the green curtain is certainly a good clue and will definitely be important in leading to a conviction, I'm not sure that it after all this time somebody would remember it.
This killer was extremely manipulative and clever. Chilling.
