didnt Roy Hazelwood do a profile on ONS?i dont think the main fbi profilers lacked the balls to profile ONS but it does seem very strange that they
Many people want to focus on Quasar's POI, the 99% claim, the hopeful LE involvement and eventual result, the precise details about where victims were attacked. But by doing that, I think we are missing something of the bigger picture. And that is the fact that Quester has provided new leads and avenues of thinking that some of us are failing to explore because we are overly occupied with the 99% claim and whether or not it turns out to be true. While it would be great if there is a DNA match, all we can do is wait and see. But in the mean time, Quasar's work on the case has provided plenty of valuable clues and theories to discuss. But they always seem to get pushed to the side of the debate. For me, Q describing the EAR/ONS as the unsuspected takes a fact about the case — that the offender has never been caught nor suspected for the crimes — and takes it to its logical conclusion, which no one has done before. By ruminating on what it means to be unsuspected, one realizes that it fundamentally changes some of most important factors that go into crafting a psychological profile.
I have only seen one detailed official Law Enforcement profile of the EAR/ONS. Of course I've read the hack profiles that the police in Sac trotted in the out in the local media to try and shame and insult the perpetrator, which only seemed to make him escalate his game. I've also read the many assessments that those involved with the case have made of their UNSUB. I think we can all agree that the "profiles" that said EAR was in a homosexual panic and schizophrenic were not based on any reputable psychology, but rather on amateur-hour police attempts to make the deviant slip up by annoying him, saying he was out of his mind, and questioning his manhood. And the result was what you might suspect from a sophisticated criminal who had a sheriff's department chasing their tail: he toyed with them, leaving so many red herrings — which he was already wont to do — and engaging in behavior that still causes people to debate whether many of the things he said and did were "genuine." It also *ed him off and caused him to escalate dramatically. Hell, we don't even know for sure if there was only one perpetrator. If Quasar is right, the EAR may have some kind of associate who may been involved in some of the EAR crimes, including the Maggiore murder. Maybe, may, might, could, possibly, perhaps. There are so many non-clues in this case that, at times, they seem to outnumber the actual number of clues that we have access to.
But what I originally meant to post about is the fact that the only detailed profile of the EAR/ONS that has been officially conducted by Law Enforcement since the rapes and murders were linked was in Florida, oddly enough, by Mary Hong at the FDLE in Miami. The result is the kind of exceedingly general broad strokes one hears on shows like Criminal Minds and could have been cobbled together by anyone with an average knowledge of forensic psychology. It's really just a stab in the dark, touching on a few of the known traits and behavioural characteristics that criminals with similar histories share. For me, one of the most interesting and original ideas on Quester's site is his description of EAR/ONS as the unsuspected. I know I must sound like a broken record with this, but I've realized that this important addition to the profile is something that is not just theoretical, and it fundamentally alters how LE has previously profiled the offender. Obviously he is unsuspected in the sense that there are no solid suspects in this case. However, he is also unsuspected in the sense that his personality and lifestyle are/were such that they did not generate suspicion. This means that much of the FDLE profile has to be incorrect.
Unsuspected is something that the EAR/ONS remained, not only through the years of prowling and raping, but ever since. If the profile were correct and he had such apparent outward manifestations of a pathological mindset and deviant sexual
urges, he could never have been the unsuspected, because the behaviors that law enforcement profiles describe would have made him suspicious. Somebody would have sniffed this characted out by now if he is as screwed up as we would like to think he must be. But again, he has remained unsuspected then and now because he is not like other serials. His crimes and MO are totally unique despite some surface similarities with other offenders, so why shouldn't we think that he himself is also unique from other serial rapists and killers? How could the typical, generic rundown of pathological traits listed in the FDLE profile be correct when everything else we know about him through his deeds makes him stand on his own as a completely different animal.
Think about all the things it must have taken this criminal to remain unsuspected throughout five years of almost-constant mayhem in mostly white, upper and middle-class neighbourhoods of California's state capitol with hundreds of police and thousands of citizens on high alert. While some people have mused that the EAR/ONS may have remained undetected because he appeared quite normal in demeanor, it is Q's reminder of what unsuspected entails which reminds us that someone who committed these and still remained off the radar could not have had obvious pathological traits that would have made him suspicious to those who came in contact with him. The EAR wore his mask of sanity very well and must have had a lifestyle that allowed him to realize his monomaniacal pursuit of terrorizing people without raising alarm bells with the people who were close to him. This means the profile of our suspect has to change. He is not going to be a guy like Walter Hamilton, who was noticeably unbalanced to many around him. These people raised red flags just like the many dozens of POI's the police in Northern California cleared, because they had one or more of the traits that the profilers were telling the police to look for. Unless, of course, he was one of many who looked into and cleared based on a faulty blood test comparison, or because he didn't match the physical description in some way. But all indications are of someone with an incredible ability to compartmentalize his deviant behavious and appear mostly normal to the people around him. This likely means no bondage and rape fantasy play with his girlfriends.
But it's so easy to forget the truth of the unsuspected label. A man with severe sociopathic tendencies who delights in torchering strangers has to be extremely in control to pass off his lie to the world around him. He cannot let those parts of himself be seen by those around him or someone will become suspicious. In order for him to be unknown and unidentified, he had to keep a very low key and simply disappear into a life that offered perfect cover. And we see that control emerging when he becomes a killer. Despite the problems he seems to have had controlling some of his murder victims, he exercised tremendous presence of mind to spread his murders out both chronologically and geographically in a competely different part of california from where he committed his crimes as EAR. It took nearly two decades for anyone in law enforcement to know he even existed, never mind that he had more than 50 home-invasion style
Ideas like this that have come from Quester are important because they require that our whole idea of the EAR has to shift. This is important stuff for the community to be debating rather than engaging in endless speculation about Quester's PoI(s). There are also the many important observations he has made about the stalking MO and what it says about his familiarity with various geographical locations he hit in, which can help us identify where he may have been staying when certain crimes were committed. His ideas of kibitzing, dig and retreat, following CAT's in more unfamiliar locations, and using the highways to commute to killing grounds in Southern California. There are also very interesting ideas about pumping stations and how he spotted his victims. Then there is his piece de resistance
