I also agree that he’s on the younger side of the estimates. I’m wondering if his parents were divorced, and he was shuttled between households, so he didn’t feel like he had a real “home.”

I grew up in N California, and sometimes it felt like the adults had abdicated. My middle class, college educated parents divorced, and managed to get into EST, Transcendental Meditation, Consciousness Raising, a Feminist Group, and a Pentecostal Church, and I’m sure I’m missing something. At least they avoided Jim Jones’ church, and The Family commune.

There’s a satirical novel titled The Serial that gives an interesting view of the time.

I think there’s a good chance that EARONs had a dysfunctional family. I also think he was part of a construction crew. Maybe his dad or step dad was in construction, and traveled between new home developments as they were being built.

Interesting, there is also a book about knots by a Kat Winters: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-Knots-Kat-Winters/dp/1930408404/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1506618691&sr=1-4&refinements=p_27%3AKat+Winters

Perhaps a love of knots made Kat aware of and interested in EAR/ONS back in 2005? If only this were true, how life can be so random and arbitrary!

Sliding doors and windows are a very common entry point for offenders.

Before bed consider adding a door jammer on any doors that lead outside and open inwards. These can also be used on sliding glass doors but then again you can always just throw a sturdy pole/pipe in the track of these. Old broom and mop handles are great for this. Anything that slides is incredibly easy and quiet to open with a bit of force.

Close any curtains or blinds once the sun goes down and keep the porch light on every night.

Billy Jensen and Paul Haynes were her co-writer and researcher, respectively. This is the book. Though it’s sold out now! I would HIGHLY recommend you read this excerpt. by Michelle. It shows just how brilliant and passionate she was, and why so many of us are devastated by her early passing.

There are laws that stop criminals from profiting from their crimes in this way. It's possible for family members or someone else from his life to do it, but I'm not getting the feeling that we'll see anything like that for a long time.

For something along those lines, check out the book by Kerri Rawson (BTK's daughter) in a couple of months! She's my twitter buddy and has amazing insight. https://www.amazon.com/Serial-Killers-Daughter-Story-Overcoming/dp/1400201756

That looks pretty awesome- did you also write the book about knots or is that just a freaky coincidence?

I think you should check out Evil Has a Name, it's fantastic!

This is a good one.

I don't care much about Renner either. Guy seems completely clueless about so many things and people. I don't trust his judgment at all.

As for the White Mountains, not sure there's a book length story there either. Just as you and I are done with the "my obsession" narrative, I'm also not into "haunted place" narratives.

As an FYI, here's an author, Bill James, who actually did solve a case, The Man from the Train

Also, if you haven't read Popular Crime, it's fascinating.

The victim, Jane Carson-Sandler has written a book about the crime and her life afterwards. She also spoke at Crimecon. Here she is now, with a link to her at Crimecon. I sure wish I knew if she mentions the car and talks about the investigation in her book.

This was touch DNA. Meaning it was a tiny trace amount. It could have even come from the person who packaged the underwear.

It was the Ramsey family who covered up another family member. The intruder hypothesis was dismantled by Kolar in his book Foreign Faction step by step.

There was a spiderweb across the broken window they said the intruder gained access to. It is the police crime scene video.

Their sons prints were all over the bowl of pineapple yet neither of the parents claimed to have given her pineapple. Pineapple was in the autopsy report.

Whoever wrote the note and made the meal put everything back in the exact same place it was taken from. Note was done using a pad from the home.

Kolar explains this all step by step.

Moral of the story, don't tell your wife your Christmas bonus when she is writing the ransom note.

As a bonus you should watch the parents denying Patsy's handwriting in their family photo album with captions on what each photo is about. They claim they don't know who wrote in their own family photo album. That a stranger could have done it. The clip is 30 min long and you can see them deny it in this deposition at around 9 minutes 30 seconds. It sort of makes you cringe.

>and am looking for information on DeAngelo rather than his crimes.

Only a little is known about JD at this point. Only one book has come out since his arrest and I don't know that it contains anything about him that hasn't been made public.

Thank her for what? She didn't do anything other than write a book on the case that was filled with info that's been around for years.

There are also other people that wrote books about the case much better than she did, two of them being detectives that worked on the case:

• Case Files of the East Area Rapist / Golden State Killer by Kat Winters and Keith Komos
  
• Hot Prowl by Jack Gray
  
• Sudden Terror by Larry Crompton
  
• Hunting A Psychopath: The East Area Rapist / Original Night Stalker Investigation - The Original Investigator Speaks Out by Richard Shelby
  
  Michelle McNamara had nothing to do with solving the case, yet for some strange reason certain people seem to think that it wouldn't have been solved without her. Or course that's just ridiculous because she had nothing to do with investigating or solving it. But now I almost can't read any article about earons with out her name being mentioned even though she had nothing to do with the case.
  
  The only people that deserve a thank you in this case are the police that finally solved it.
  

I think he was so prolific in his stalking and attacking that it was all consuming and would have had a detrimental effect on his professional and personal life. I think the psychological issues would also have prevented him from any kind of consistent professional achievement too, this is substantiated by the FBI studies of serial offenders, they rarely hold down any position of note for long. Something about the prolific serial rapist Kevin Coe (South Hill Rapist) really rang true with me with regards this case. He's suspected of 43 rapes and the officers on the case believed he would've escalated to murder. He spent most nights 'jogging' looking for victims on bus routes and his relationship and work life as a realtor were in chaos as a result. I've recommended it before but the book Son: A Psychopath and his Victims gives a terrifying look at the lifestyle of someone capable of this kind of behaviour.

I did want to add RE The Paperboy Theory (someone else has mentioned it already) that the majority of the stalking / peeping and attacks were on properties where it's presumed access was gained from waterways and trails to the rear as they mostly had this in common which would negate the need for a cover story / reason to be on the street.
