My new theory, and it is well supported by data is this... graphics after text
The GSK was likely a contractor who did planning in civil engineering for the military.
What basis in fact you will say.
When optimizing routing between military air bases you get a ring route that encompases all bases (and all attacks).
The pattern of attack exactly matches that ring road route. No attack is more than a few miles from that ring route, all attacks are within a half hour of a military air base.
So why does that matter.
To begin with it's is outside the laws of random chance and so likely there is a factor that is very meaningfull regarding GSK.
We know that he can write and that he can make plans which are essential for civil engineering.
Bases have need of a lot of civil engineering talent which is likely a civilian military planning contractor working under military management.
As projects are developed I believe it gave GSK a reason to be on the road between the various air bases. He was probably planning runways, drainage, base roads and the like. He may well have been planning facilities and housing developements much like his map.
Driving on the best route between bases gave him a lot of free time that would be unaccounted for since unsupervised and was when he was casing for attacks near that route. It also puts him in construction, planning, and real estate as has been suspected.
He was obviously a person who could present a professional appearance as well.
I suspect that originally he was working for bases around Sacramento when he was just starting out and probably had gone to high school near his attacks and may have been a military brat that led to him knowing about planning employment opportunities at the bases, possibly through a relative or parent.
At some point he may have gotten a certificate in civil engineering at Davis and could expain that attack cluster.
Then commuting down to Travis AFB between Mather AFB and McClellan AFB would have been the corridor attacks around San Ramon. Similar commutes between other military air bases exactly match other attack series further to the south as well as to the east.
As former civil engineer it seems a good fit as a working theory. Here is a graphic of the ring road.
( I don't subscribe to this theory.)
