The EAR does not attack during the summer months, except for when he started in 1976. He attacks most other months, except for sometimes May, New Year and Christmas when he doesn't.

These are the confirmed attacks.
However the unconfirmed timeline has EAR active all the time, non-stop
www.coldcase-earons.com/timeline.php
From June in 1976 through to May 1977, EAR practically attacked every month.
Then EAR stopped for the summer of 77.
EAR resumed in September 77 and attacked almost every month except for May.
Then EAR stopped for the summer of 78 in early-July.
EAR resumed in September 78 but stopped for the new year.
EAR resumed in March 79 attacking every month except for May.
EAR stopped for the summer of 79 in early-July.
EAR resumed in September 79 but his MO became murder. He attacked once in September, Dec, then in 1980 March and August. In 81 Feb and July.
Then he stops for 5 years.
May of 86. The last known EAR attack.
EAR's annual patterns (after the summer of 1976) suggest there is at least some correlation between the academic year and EAR's attacks. I didn't say causation, just correlation.
EAR is attacking during academic-time, but not during academic-holidays. Why isn't it the other way around? Why isn't EAR attacking during the holidays when there is more free-time and less during the academic periods when there is less time? It makes it seem that EAR works the very opposite. That during the academic year EAR is free to attack but during the holidays, EAR isn't free to attack.
The EAR spent vast amounts of time hiding at the dead of night into the early hours of the morning stalking/prowling. Yet EAR does this during the winter/autumn/spring months instead of the summer? Wouldn't the weather be agreeable at summer for this sort of thing?
Yet he started in the summer of 1976.
This is such a riddle. Has there ever been a good answer for any of this except for EAR being deliberately deceptive on this matter?
If we accept the unconfirmed timeline, then EAR is always present and able to attack during the summer, but doesn't.
If we reject that, then EAR may simply not be around to attack. Maybe he goes home for the summer, like separated parents sharing him. Or maybe he has a job that takes him away. Or there is some activity during the summer that makes it harder, such as more people being out late at night... like kids.
What's the best explanation for all this so far?

Hello Batman: My thoughts on this portion of your post is that early on in the summer of 1976 EAR found that during that summer there was more of a chance of being caught - as you have said there were more people out in the summers. He may actually have come close and decided the rest of the year was a better time. I think he liked being out there seemingly alone after dark in the fall/winter/spring. Also, I think the temperatures suited him better. I think his internal body temperature was off chemically and he was able to remain warmer without heavy coats than most people. I say this because there are those who think it is hot during the middle of winter and sleep with windows open. Their chemical makeup is different than most of us. Resumed attacks happened after kids wen back to school as well. Also, he did not attack during academic breaks - same reason stated too many kids were out of school and it was less predictable where people would be at night during the breaks. Thanks for the post.
