He struck first in Rohnert Park. Then in February 1992 he raped a woman in Vallejo. In 1996 he dramatically raped a woman in Martinez on Halloween. Then he tied up but did not finally rape a victim in Woodland. In 1997 two women in Davis (January). Then another in Chico (July). In July 2000 he returned to Davis and raped another woman. Then he waited 6 years and raped two women in North Natomas area of Sacramento (October). He never struck in Spring. Police are puzzled by the apparent six-year gap between a rape in Davis in 2000 and last double rape in Sacramento.
Serial rapists sometimes halt their assaults for a period of years because they fear discovery or because their personal circumstances change so they don't feel the urge, said Jack Levin, director of the Brudnick Center on Violence and Conflict at Northeastern University in Boston. The Northern California rapist, he said, psychologically tortures his victims.
"He tells them he stalks them; he makes phone calls to them later. He's saying, 'I'm watching,'" said Levin, who is not involved in the investigation. "He terrifies his victims so they think, 'Hey, he may come back." "You can speculate forever on that," said Smith, the Davis police sergeant. "Was he in custody? That doesn't seem likely because we'd have his DNA. Was he out of state? Was he inactive? Or were there more attacks ... and we just don't know about them? During his attacks, the man has threatened his victims with a knife or a gun and often wears disguises.
After raping two women in Davis in 1997, he was photographed wearing a clear, form-fitting hockey mask while using one of the victim's debit cards at a Woodland ATM He studied his victims for days, perhaps weeks, learning their names, their addresses, their habits. He found when the women would be vulnerable, then attacked them in their homes.
During the assaults, some lasting hours, he covered their eyes and mouth with duct tape, bound their hands and ankles, and talked to them in an easy, conversational tone.
"The words are the same, the duct tape is the same," Davis Police Sgt. Scott Smith .
Investigators now believe at least nine such rapes and one attempted rape over the past 15 years in Northern California are linked to one man. He struck again last month by raping two women in Sacramento.
In his latest attack, Oct. 13,2006, he spent six hours raping two women, ages 24 and 28, in their home in Sacramento's North Natomas neighborhood, Sacramento Police Detective Paul Schindler said.
One of the victims walked past his vehicle while it was parked in her garage, after he already had broken into the house and assaulted her roommate. A neighbor's security camera caught the same vehicle as it drove by. Police described it as a 2001 or 2002 white Toyota 4-Runner with silver molding, a moon roof and roof rack.
The victims were able to give police their first recent description of the rapist.
He has put on 30 to 40 pounds since his attacks began years ago and developed a noticeable pot belly as he has aged. He is described as white, 37 to 40 years old, 200 to 250 pounds and five foot-eight to six feet tall.
