He took other souvenirs whether it was jewelry or driver licenses. He may have enjoyed taking underwear when he ransacked because he could use it to fantasize later. When he was EAR perhaps in his mind he fulfilled his fantasy by assaulting the victim therefore stealing something such as underwear wasn't necessary in his mind. These guys cluster their behaviors from voyerism to crank calls to stealing souvenirs they all serve a purpose. It think it is possible that VR and EAR are the same man thus graduating from ransacking to rape whereby their MO, behaviors and motivations deviate as well.
I am convinced VR is EAR but I could be wrong. 2 different psychopaths within a 150 miles of each other is possible. However 2 different psychopaths with similar MOs including the dishes trick, high pitched voices and none of their crimes overlap each other well now the 1 suspect argument gets persuasive. If he murdered Eva Taylor in Goleta in 1974 those are 3 areas with a reasonable distance apart within a 2 year period. Had to live at or near Visalia to be that prolific and same for Sacramento although no way to pinpoint the area. He had to be close. That leaves Goleta why pick out Ms Taylor what purpose did she serve? Was it rage or as some said he targeted her daughter? He must have watched the house that takes time unless it was impulsive crime. Still why keep going back to Goleta? With the Taylor murder I can't emphasize how rare a hot prowl burglary is with a low risk victim, low risk neighborhood and then bludgeoning is manner of death.. Larry Pool was convinced the crime was related but impossible to link for certain without forensic evidence.
Anyway if one assumes he was responsible for the Taylor murder that adds something to the geographic profile. If someone can give an alternative hypothesis as to why the Taylor murder occurred and isn't related to him please chime away. I just can't see it added to this a youth is seen jumping her backyard wall. So a youth bludgeons an elderly woman to death and then decides to steal not her diamond ring but something much less valuable? There goes the robbery angle if that was true.
If the Taylor case is related we know based on not being capable on being in the same place twice he left Goleta after 1974 (perhaps Visalia). Then he returns for the botched attempt. Subsequently he goes back for the Domingo/Sanchez homicide that is at least 3 times he went there assuming a few things. Still either way you look at it he went back at least 3 times to Goleta assuming Taylor is related.
