I think in light of this new evidence we have to consider the possibility that EAR was actually 25-35 years old in 1976. The witness who struggled with him in the 73 home invasion got a good look at his face and said he looked around 27. Even if he wasn't that old, he certainly wasn't 15.
We also have to consider the possibility that EAR really was a heavy drug addict. This picture of the Rancho cat burglar suggests an almost crazed, reckless individual at times. Yet not completely reckless. He planned escape routes, prowled - he didn't just smash the front door down, except the one time he did. A complete break in character. A careful cat burglar that after breaking in, immediately sets up an escape route, even taking window screens off windows for a secondary, emergency escape route, then commits a reckless home invasion while a woman threatens him with a gun. After faking his exit, he then smashes through the door and attempts to wrestle her for the gun, with no mask, while she is on the phone to the police?
Drug use accounts for this behavior, and it lines up with what the dog handlers said. EAR could have been a heavy drug addicted cat burglar in the beginning, when sober, he was careful. When high, he was a crazed, psychotic, pantless maniac. By the time he was the EAR he had learned not to be so reckless, but was still using.
According to them he would have been 15-30 years old in 1973.
So if - when they released their 'wanted poster' to the public - the FBI were aware of this potential EAR activity in '73, then why would they only allow a 3 year upper age window (yet a 12 year lower age window) based on a reported age of 27? That doesn't make any sense.
This '73 information may be new to us, but it shouldn't be new for the FBI.
Perhaps the FBI aren't at all convinced by this new information... or perhaps Sac have been withholding information from other agencies again and didn't let the FBI know about this lead... or perhaps the FBI just can't be bothered to update their website - even when new, potentially case solving information comes in...
