"This is from attack #22, that occurred immediately after the gas station graffiti threat to move to that part of town.
Elvis was a door to door solicitor selling either children's books, vacuum cleaners or the Mormon Church. The neighbors who provided the description had been burglarized two weeks prior. . . husband said hair was brown, wife thought it was more blonde than brown. Another neighbor saw similar man knocking on a door the night of the rape."
So here are some questions that occurs to me:
1) Is it that the people can't recall what he was selling and said "I can't recall but he might have been selling children's books, or vacuum cleaners, or the Mormon Church or something like that and I didn't let him talk and I said not interested and now I can't be sure what he was selling." OR..... Are these actual things that this person said to various neighbors and they remember he did indeed say these specific things.
2)Did at least 3 neighbors say the SAME man was selling these 3 things, which would indicate he definitely was a fraud.
3) Did all of the neighbors involved contributed to the sketch, agreeing on the sketch?
(We had an incident in our neighborhood where a man was selling something and everyone was up in arms thinking he was up to no good and one neighbor told the guy he didn't need a security system (which the guy was selling) because HE HAD A GUN. Anyway everybody was upset and paranoid. It turned out in the end he really was a salesman, but the neighbor that got the most up close description of him and was the most positive of him and worked in a prison and said she was trained to be observant for things like this was the one that turned out to be wrong on age and identified a picture in the paper of someone that had just been arrested for strong arm robbery and she was wrong again. All the other neighbors turned out to be accurate.
Next...that mention that he was a Mormon evangelist....THAT IS REALLY INTERESTING. I can't look it up right now but there was an incident in the book involving the Mormon Church or a weirdo that showed up at the Mormon Church or crank called the Mormon Church (I forget, can anyone else recall what that was about?) If someone is going door to door pretending to be a Mormon, I wager he must have felt prepared to talk about Mormonism. Could this indicate, he was raised a Mormon? I think it is a good bet he was. Obviously he was not a believer but it wouldn't mean he wasn't raised a Mormon.
