I grew up in East Sacramento in the early through mid 70's. I had friends and girlfriends that lived in Rancho and College Greens. I was very aware of the EAR at the times the crimes were happening. I once even chased a guy I saw looking in a neighbors window in the middle of the night,That guy was wearing a mask but it never crossed my mind it could be EAR until recently.I had more guts than brains i now think to myself. I never knew exactly where EAR hit back then. but looking back he actually hit on both my ex girlfriends street as well as one of my best friends street as well.
I worked nights back then doing janitorial work and when you clean different buildings you pretty much have run of the neighborhood and the streets were so quiet back in those days late at night. it would have been easy for no one to see you and to be able to get away with stuff. I also rode my bike quite a bit as a means of transportation and lots of people used the bike trails at those times or the area along the river behind college greens and paradise beach. I used to park with the girlfriend and never remember cops bothering us no matter where we were.
I also lived in Davis back in the day and I cannot for the life of me think that EARS could get away with anything in Davis as there were always police all around late at night. I also lived in Stockton and went to Delta college there for a couple of years in the late 70's and Stockton was very quiet on the streets late at night. I also used to do a fair anount of traveling into the bay area back in the day and I can see why EAR picked the areas he did as they were also very quiet with very little chance of accidently running across the police when doing something wrong.
My sister lived in Costa Mesa back in the day so I find it interesting that the GSK attacked there as well. I think the combination of knowing almost all the areas he attacked in, is why I am here on this site. I can picture the times and places where EAR/GSK struck. That is why this board is almost like an addiction. Being able to read back to things that happened so many years ago and read everyone's opinions of what happened and why. I do feel with DNA the way it is that he will eventually be caught and I also think that besides so many people getting answers about the how and the why of what happened. Not to mention Closure for both the victims and families of the victims after all these years.
the EAR/GSK will also probably get his ego fed in being able to relive his crimes no matter what the price he has to pay. He seemed to want fame back then and now as this case is finally attracting the attention it deserves. I have to wonder if EARS himself reads these Pro Boards or the Reddit or reads the books about these crimes. Is the new found fame going to make him slip up from his probable quiet family life he probably leads now. Would his guilt and shame if real at the time of his crimes actually make him make a mistake or even surrender to authorities. Has EAR accepted Christ or found Religion and could he turn himself in or is he going to keep his secret inside of himself. Are the things he stole going to be discovered by a family member, So many questions
