- Architectural paint research- doesn't relate to pools nor is it automotive. Probably a heavy duty, epoxy base to coat machines or IBEAMS for construction. In Sacto, might be used in a food processing paint (such as tomato processing, e.g. - the big machines that make turning tomatoes into sauce, for e.g., at say, Del Monte Foods, might be painted BLUE) or a heavy machine manufacturing plant, BLUE bandsaws, BLUE printing presses? Not so much a nautical application- probably not a naval yard use, from what I gather.
- People around freshly painted i-beams= are working in construction= are likelier to: think to get up on a roof and use it to for observation and to move around and know how to jimmy the pin and then pry a deadbolt and jostle a sliding door open and study & sketch subdivision layouts.
- Many murders occurred around active contruction sites during the boom years of 1970's construction. I always feel that the residential sketch reminds me of places like Walnut Creek or Foster City, California, new at the time...
- Construction work can keep EARONS very fit for decades, beyond any residual high school athleticism.
- On-site job inspections could involve many lost hours where EARONS can travel to jobsites and surveil and attack in neighborhoods without having any issue with his employer, where in the 1970s it would be hard to track exact hours of EARSON, except by CB Radio or phone calls as made at the descretion of EARONS back to his construction team members/boss.
- EARONS would likely have access to a vehicle or even multiple vehicles in a company fleet, which could be rotated during various crimes.
- EARONS would have the habit of having tools on him for trade, leading EARONS to form the habit of what witnesses stated were an array of items on him such as flashlight, gun and knife, all along his belt line. For EARONS to bring along the items of a rape kit such as twine, rope, folding knife, and perhaps bringing along a dog to some scenes, having latex gloves handy, boot covers, changes of clothes expected, having access to heavy blunt objects- all is not out of the ordinary for someone in the construction trade to bring along on "jobs."
- EARONS is surveilling a neighborhood where he is of a shared demographic physical appearance, fitting in seamlessly.
- By night, he's got a dog as cover for disappearing into yards at night and can leave it and the truck at a distance and use a random bike to and from the truck before and after the crime. Because trucks draw attention. Because 1970's trucks are loud. They are big, pricey and desirable and you tend to have the same one a long while- we had a red and white 1975 Ford and you could not kill that truck. So, trucks are remembered and remembered very precisely by many people, people who love trucks... and 70's California had a whole truck culture thing going on then (I remember the detailing on the Chevy's, for e.g., with the ombre lettering of the word "Chevrolet" on the back; very serious custom paint jobs- heaps of individuality, cash, pride... these are the years of corvette summers, golden California lifestyles and an emphasis on your vehicle of choice).
- By day, EARONS has got a cover as just a construction worker at work, not from the area, perhaps with the "authority" of specific work clothing (which would probably appeal to his whole rigid and superior psychopathy). If he's caught, hey he's just replacing a window or a door... the homeowner told him he could just go on in through the front door and fix the sink...
- EARONS could alternate between "playing" wearing hats, shorts and LaCosta shirts, working the sunfrosted, shaggy haired, laid-back 70's California guy, just innocently creek walking... or maybe walking his dog at midnight... or maybe accidentally ending up in someone's backyard, or maybe just looking at potential real estate for sale in the area, because indeed, any young man with a solid job could buy a whole house then pretty easy...
-AND-
dressing as a utility worker, carpenter, painter, with clothes kept back at his vehicle. (worked for BTK as a meter reader, right? And I do believe that Bundy worked at either a security company or for a locksmith at one point?) - I mean, the get-ups of EARONS- the floppy fisherman's hat, the long hair hanging down on either side, the bespoke masks... Really? These too are part of his fantasy- I feel he dressed in one or two types of uniforms or personas to surveil the crime, just as he had a uniform for the crime itself. I would think he has a split personality (like when he was speaking to himself at the crime, living successfully and managing to avoid incarceration from 2009 to present) and that would just play into the different "costumes." Picture EARONS, under whatever rock he lives, somewhere sewing his own half masks...
Some issues with this idea: Were any trucks associated as a potential suspect vehicle in these crimes? ("No" may just mean all of EARONS efforts were successful in hiding a truck when he used that)
Were construction boots found near the crime scenes?
Was anyone near scenes ever described as wearing a trade uniform of any kind?
