Dear friends,
Recently contacted by LE in Sacramento. Talked about EAR, cold case and asked to meet him at his office. I agreed hoping he wanted to show me pictures of people of the 70's. Not the case. Was told my name came up as possible suspect more than 36 years ago. I am 60, black hair, brown eyes, size 13 shoe and pronounced disability from childhood accident.
Agreed to DNA Test for reasons I will further discuss. Before this thread continues, let me assure you that one, I am not the EAR/ONS and two, based on this experience, I an convinced we are no closer to closure today than we were three decades ago. I was on this thread or one like it a few years ago and perhaps I may have made comments that drew the ire of LE? A little more about myself. Criminal justice and law degree. Was in Sacramento during EAR crimes and CJ student. Myself and many in academia believed EAR was a cop, which I do not believe now.
Each time the EAR struck, he not only victimized the people he attacked, by proxy the law enforcement response victimized law abiding citizens as well. People were stopped and searched without probable cause. Sheriff Detectives were heavy handed in their interviews of suspects and many were embarrassed by the presence of officers at their homes. A vast majority of the crimes in Sacramento happened in Sheriff's jurisdiction, some crimes literally just yards outside city limits. Many believed the EAR was toying with the Sheriff in particular. Now 36 years since last Sacramento attack, I find a card at my door.
I understand the position of LE, the EAR literally ran circles under their noses in Sacramento and the responsive mindset then is the same now. A suspect completely out of the physical description of the EAR is brought in with the promise of a elimination letter and that my DNA will not be banked. Thirty six years later.
So lets talk about this. I was NOT requested to not talk about this, but to stay on the ssfe side, names and agencies involved will remain unmentioned for now.
