The thread on a new lead involving "EAR" showing up at a hospital after attack #22 (May 1977) complaining of a "broken shoulder" followed by a 3 month hiatus fascinates me. Especially as his next attack 3 months later is in Stockton. Sep. 1977.)
"EAR" fled the E/R when they called LE.
So...my supposition. He fled down to Stockton to get medical care in a "cool" area. (Sacramento had just formed their EAR task force June 6th.) And the town was up in arms-literally.
What medical condition needed care? Rotator Cuff tear(s). Why do I say that?? Because that painful shoulder injury, in young athletic person would need about 10-12 weeks to allow recovery of arm use. First surgery. Then in a sling for 6-8 weeks. Arduous PT for at least 6 weeks. Full arm use then?? No. that takes a year or more. But enough arm for prowling.
A very unfortunate side effect for many weeks after surgery is...real difficulty in accomplishing personal hygiene. A patient who does not have a willing partner to help can get pretty funky smelling.
Look at attack #22. He yanks the woman out of bed. Lots of shoulder effort there. He also tears steps of towels. Lots of effort there too. He terrorizes by putting a knife next to the victim(s) necks.
Look at attack #23. No evidence of sudden jerky movements.
He changes firearms in attack #23 from the 1911 .45 auto -this allows easy one handed cocking and de-cocking. Cocking a gun next to the victim's head is the ultimate in tactical control. He needed maximum tactical control because he knew he could not struggle hand to hand.
He uses an artificial penis to supplement his little Weiner. Why? Because he could penetrate without leaning as much and therefore his arms (shoulders) had less stress. (He never did this again.)
He stinks-literally. (See above.) He stinks in his next attack too.
Yes, he has evidenced B.O. before-but that may have been a side effect of temporary homelessness. See his comments to the girl he took outside and could not rape. (Attack #9.)
So..the time line and behaviors support the theory that it was young EAR that sought E/R care for his shoulder....
At least, in my view.
