It isn't hard to believe that he was aware of Janelle before she went away in the time period before her murder, but I think it very likely that she wasn't known to him for more than a few months before he killed her, and find it very hard to believe that he could have bided his time for five whole years. It would be good to know where she was located when she was away, and the adults that she might have come into contact with while she was in The Job Corps.
It's not really that hard to believe when you take into account that the Marine, who also lived two streets from Witthuhn, would send his "investigators" (plural; and as Janelle's mom recalled them) to harass Janelle even though she and her family had never pressed charges.
Why would a man who wasn't facing charges have retained any "investigators" in the first place? Why would he put himself at the center of a child rape case with anyone in an official capacity if he didnt have to? Official "investigators", as in those an attorney would retain, don't harass potential victims but rather conduct simple interviews.
So circling back around....all this occurs within the same two street radius and within a couple(?) years Janelle finds herself raped, for a second time mind you, and murdered by a serial killer who has been dormant for 5 years and has also murdered Witthuhn.
There's a lot of circumstantial improbability going on in Irvine if you ask me, and the crazy thing is that LE appears just as fresh to this angle as we are.
It's something that deserves a lot of critical thinking by all parties involved.
Interesting analysis !
The irony of your analysis on Janelle being raped a second time by a serial killer who had with all intents and purposes been dormant reminded me of the podcast that Movieman featured in were they said sometimes victims of rape/sexual assault sometimes inadvertently get drawn to sexual predators. Bearing in mind EAR`s dormancy then sudden emergence to attack a victim with Janelles circumstances does really sound like like food for thought and certainly has made me think twice about the possibility of there being some kind of connection between EAR and Janelle ......
