A guy gets caught shoplifting, goes to trial, loses his job, threatens the police chief, stalks the police chief at the police chief's home, and the cops find many likely stolen items at his own home. Should this have made him a prime suspect for being the East Area Rapist? No. Should it have put him on the LE radar for more scrutiny? Hell yeah. Was the reason it didn't because he was a cop when all this started? Stop being so cynical!
Think of all the cold case research that went on over the years. Studies were alluded to that involved arrest records, incarceration records, old police reports, etc. LE personnel were supposedly looked at hard, but the disgraced ex-cop from jurisdictions near Visalia and Sacramento (with the right timing) never turned up. Were they not looked at systematically? Again, stop being so cynical!
nick , we used to speculate as to how the EAR managed to avoid getting pulled over after one of his attacks. We were in agreement that that seemed odd. All those attacks and he never shows up in a field interview report? Then Joe DeAngelo was caught and we seemed to have our answer. Maybe I'm just too cynical, but there seems to be a pattern here.
I have zero explanation for how he was not stopped or contacted at least once for god's sake. That also goes for the inability for someone anyone to see JJD as a suspect. I just don't know. If it was a matter of him being protected the cover-up could only come from the very highest point in LE. It's hard to see the benefit of allowing him to continue his crimes since it was mostly an embarrassment to LE having not caught him. I don't know there are more unanswered questions with him identified than ever before his capture.
I was not active in LE during his crimes he had stopped prior to my employment I can speak for myself and others I worked with that if I had any idea it was him nothing on this earth would have stopped me from pursuing him even if they threaten to fire me after his capture I would be too much of target to make that happen to me. The Patrol Deputies I know and spoke with over the years regarding EAR would have done anything to catch him a cop or not they would have been the next Sheriff and could have written their own ticket to the top of the heap.
I don't understand how he avoided the attention I really don't know.
