I'm in agreement with a lot of your theories hunter/drifter. Many people on these boards think he was of average intelligence and just lucky and dedicated. The strategy that went in to these assaults were very well thought-out, researched, planned. It takes some mental capacity to strategize that effectively. I actually think he came from a family of money, and that's how he was able to seemingly not hold down a full time job, have multiple cars/shoes/etc or need to steal the maximum amount of money/jewels from these families. He left a lot of money on the table. In my opinion he wasn't in it for the money or the sexual part of it. He was obsessed with the planning and the mission. And the mission was to terrorize the community.
I took the liberty of translating his Excitements Crave poem into my own words to try to make sense of what he is saying to his audience. Most of you have this poem I'm sure so you can compare what I have written with each stanza of the poem in the sequence it was written in.
"People getting older think about what they've contributed to society in their lifetime.
You choose a path that is satisfying to you and your character will emerge as you act on the values you've learned or accepted as your own.
Getting a job and assuming you may be promoted someday is normal. This is normal but so is respectability and wanting to be famous someday.
These things I achieve [rapes/murders/terror], while others are rising through the ranks, should afford me some fame and notoriety.
Jesse James and Son of Sam; these guys are famous and now I want to be. Sacramento will make me famous.
Making a movie about my life will pay for my escape. Now I'm going to add an Italian girl to my list of victims.
Your East Area Rapist. All eyes on me. I'm deserving of your attention now. See you in the press or on TV."
In summary, I feel that this poem is saying, in a nutshell, - I want to be famous and now because of what I've done I'm deserving of your attention. Make me famous.
He is also saying if that people follow a path in life and come to a fork in the road. On one hand you can get a job and become successful and maybe make a lot of money. On the other hand, you can choose to become famous in other ways and be deserving of everyone's attention and respect. Once you are dead, what will you have contributed to society?
This makes me agree with the being bullied theory mentioned by QMANFAN. This sounds like he is trying to prove something to someone, punish someone and now. Do we know of any bullies that he may have gone to school with? There is at least one in every school. I realize we don't exactly know where he is from but if we start in the areas where the crimes occurred someone might know something. Classmates might also know of a kid that was severely bullied and may be able to give a name.
