Hi guys! im brand new here and as I’ve seen other’s post: I apologize if this has been brought up in another thread. However, I couldn’t seem to find it specifically in a thread search so here it goes :-)
I completely understand the difficulty of “reverse engineering” the pathos of a (probably) mentally ill person. However, considering our collective goal is to leave no stone unturned, I hoped it wouldn’t be too wasteful to speculate-yet again—on a possible mental infliction on EARONSGSK.
My interest was piqued when reading about cases of people who had larger appetites at inappropriate moments and who had normal figures (ie weren’t overweight). Additionally, these people—although remaining thin—tend to omit a foul body odor. I’ll explain subsequently why that may be. But, my point is I thought of the bizarre eating patterns of EARONSGSK. Could it be because he spends long hours stalking and needs nutrition? Possibly (but why leave it at the scenes? Why not pack a lunch?) Is it to “get off” on the power of eating around the victim (often using the victims foodstuffs) in order to show domination? Absolutely. But, I also thought about the idea of wanting to eat at inappropriate times due to damgage of the amygdala.
We’re all familiar with the “McDonald Triad” and how a blow to the head can absolutely change behavior (see Phineaus Gauge)—often to the point of violent and irrational behavior. Moreover, with combinations of terrible odors (this has to do with amygdala controlling the olfactory senses), decreased imnahbition with regards to decision-making (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/amygdala-loss-aversion/) as well as the McDonald Triad being known to associate with violent behavior, I wanted to throw out the idea of damage to the amygdala as a factor—not necessarily an “explanation”.
In other words: brain damage to this area in addition to possible issues with interpersonal problems (small genitals, military rejections, teacher who upset him, etc.) may be a factor. So...if that’s the case, can we utilize this idea?
...Well, I guess I don’t know. I realize medical records are not something anyone can just peruse and—even if they were—they are not necessarily comprehensive. Especially in the 40s-70s. But I guess I just wanted to try and add my voice to the chorus of trying to the correlate records or anecdotes of POIs with possible amygdala impairment. By the way, you know what else may be associated with the amygdala? Stuttering. ([http://stutter-mind-body.blogspot.com/2010/11/anxious-mind-affects-stuttering-part-1.html?m=1

-In the Sacramento area, where were there possible specialists in brian trauma at the time of his youth?
-Any news reports in Sacramento regarding children (late 1940’s—1960s) in traumatic accidents?
-I realize NA/AA are anonymous. But I also know that often, there are communities built up in areas where people may only know people by first names but are very familiar with peoples personalities. If there is amygdala damage, a person’s odds of being an addict are increased. This may tie into EARONS drinking beer and—I’ve seen other threads—maybe doing speed. My point is just is there anyone who was in that NA/AA community at the time who is willing to wrack his/her brains regarding anyone who may fit some of this?
Obviously, these are too numerous to be useful. I was hoping others may have betters ideas of how possibly to narrow the field?
Thanks for your patience with a newbie. Let’s get this bastard.
