This is pretty interesting information posted by Conquistador1521 at the A&E board concerning the "EAR" profiles - this is the last I will copy & paste on this subject! Sorry if I went overboard on this....
I could not find the info I was looking for on the web so I contacted MSNBC directly. After about a dozen emails I recvd a response to when did Dark Heart Iron Hand originally aired?
6PM ET 9/3/2000 original air date
ear profile created 9/29/2000
opened TLS' PM on 5/4/09 (anniversary of the Cruz murder)
So the ear profile is created in the same month as Dark Hear Iron Hand hits the airwaves. For those of you who have not seen it is by far the most graphic of all the EAR/ONS coverage. Did the airing of his crimes tempt him from his hiding place all of these years? I believe that just like the phone call in 1990/1991 I think he threw caution to the wind and did it. After all this was before the EAR/ONS crimes were all linked together, so it was generally a safe exercise but I am sure it satisified his ego for the time being. The East Area Rapist had not been in the press for about 20 years at that point.
The second time the offender would post he knew that he would have to up the game. It would have been too risky to post under the ear profile he created. In 2001 the EAR/ONS crimes had been linked and that same year Unsolved Mysteries did a show on both sets of crimes. Again his ego pushed him into doing something. Why not wait and post to when there is a date of real signifigance? It woud have been too obvious to create a profile with the date of a known killing. He knew that any prankster could pull that off. He decided to create a profile on the day that he and only he would know what he meant.
The Maggiore murders as far as the public was concerned was not any way related to EAR until the 2003 Sacramento Magazine news article. He might have thought there might have been a handful of retired detectives that might had a hunch but that is all. No DNA to say either way. What a fun game he thought. It was low risk considering he used a public terminal and the few people might know might not even have thought to look for his profile. Either way it satisified his need. He is out there.
