when all else fails, someone with enough clout should obtain the 1970 census records for the areas where the crimes occurred in northern ca. including the Visalia community Those families having a male living in the home who is Caucasian, of the right age group etc. should be checked out. If the killer was at least 18 at the time of the crimes or was 10 or older at the time of the census he should be looked at and a ca. drivers license photo checked for comparison with the composite sketches. their background info should be looked at also, whether they are deceased, incarcerated or have a criminal record.If someone is found who was living in the sac. area and moved to the other crime areas at the right time they should be looked at hard. Right now you need names and this would provide a wealth of names to check out. Yes, this would take an enormous amount of time but it would be worth it if it resulted in this fiend being caught. Could not a computer program be made to check out these names in a much shorter time? When the London police were hunting Jack the Ripper, lacking any other clues, they went door to door through the entire east end of London searching for him. They were not successful but they were willing to go to these lengths to stop him. Many years later the police checked the dna of the males in two English villages, thousands of samples, looking for a killer. This effort was successful What I'm trying to say is the public should leave no stone unturned in the hunt for this man. Another possibility is that this killer is dead and looking among the living will never turn him up I watched a crime show some time ago and I may have some of these details wrong but it seems a girl was found murdered in an outdoor area of sacremento by one of the volunteers searching for her. Years later a dna profile was developed of the killer and the police linked him somehow to this person who found the body. This person had had a disabling accident and was now living in the south, possibly Alabama. When the police went to his home he agreed to come to the police dept and provide a dna sample. When he failed to show up they went back to his house and found he had committed suicide. The similarities are this. He committed a crime in sac, he later had an accident which prevented him from continuing his activities, and he later moved out of state. Could it be he killed himself because he was afraid his dna would link him to the other murders? I have searched for months for this program but have been unable to find it. Could be cold case files, forensic files, Disc. ID or one of those. Also, someone could check newspaper microfilm for accidents that happened shortly after the last murder in 1986. I believe the killer was locked up for some lesser crime or had to be out of state for the period between the time of the last two murders then shortly after the last murder had a disabling accident which ended his crime spree. One last thought. I don't think the police use street patrols enough to look for cars that seem to be driving slowly in residential areas or are parked in areas where there are no houses close by. The theory is that a person that spends that much time driving around is bound to be stopped by police sooner or later A killer can creep through bushes and through back yards and remain unseen but a car can not hide.
