As far as basing my opinion of DeAngelo's wife on one Yelp review, no, there are several stories from neighbors telling of how she never spoke or waved to them in two decades, how her and DeAngelo had shouting matches outdoors. She sounds like an angry person to me.
But this is all BS. I don't care about that stuff.
My concern is what I brought up in comment #1: who rang the doorbell that interrupted one of his rapes, and who is the female that his victim on that night heard him talking to?
Two hours later this house was burgled EAR-style.
Men and women's jewelry was stolen.
ONS twine, matching twine found at the later murder scene, found in the home's backyard.
December 29th, 1979 6:10 PM
A girl was babysitting on Queen Ann Lane. She saw a woman at the bottom of her neighbor’s driveway and observed her walking to the neighbor’s front door. The mysterious woman rang the doorbell with her right hand. Two or three minutes later, she rang it again. The porch light was on and the neighbor was able to get a good look at the woman. She didn’t recognize her.
December 29th, 1979 7:00 PM
Almost an hour later, the babysitter saw a suspicious man approaching the same house. The babysitter was standing on the sidewalk next to the retaining wall and she could see the man, but the man could not see her. She was roughly thirty yards away from him. She watched as he rang the doorbell with his right hand. The porch light was still on, and she got a somewhat decent look at him. He seemed to be looking at the peephole.
December 29th, 1979 7:30 PM
Thirty minutes later, the babysitter observed the man once again. He was in the middle of the driveway of that same house, walking toward it. He walked up the driveway with a fairly strange gait, as if he had a sore left foot. His shoes made a distinctive noise, almost like they had taps on the bottom. He approached the door and rang the doorbell.
These sightings were significant, because two hours later, an EAR-style burglary occurred at this house. Below are the detailed descriptions of the suspicious man and woman:
Woman:
The witness’ initial description of the woman seen at 6:10 PM was that of a twenty-five-year-old with shoulder-length hair. She was dressed in dark clothing. Later, the witness added that the woman’s hair was dark brown, and she was dressed in a t-shirt and jeans.
At an interview two weeks later, the witness added that the woman was about 5’4”.
Later, a hypnosis session was done. The description of the woman from that session was as follows: white, late twenties, 5’4”, 155-175 lbs, black or brown shoulder-length hair. She wore a light-colored short-sleeved t-shirt, jeans with frayed cuffs, and sandals.
Another description given by the witness added the following details and clarifications: the woman had a large, pointed nose, cotton in her right ear, three earrings in her right ear, a class ring on her right hand, a light-colored watch on her right arm, dark blue jeans, black tennis shoes, and black, wavy hair.
Man:
The witness’ initial description was that of a white male, about 5’8”, with dark or black hair, round-shouldered, wearing a dark-colored Dacron jacket.
At an interview two weeks later, the witness added that he was probably in his late twenties, 5’6” or 5’8”, with neck-length dark hair cut short around the ears, wearing a dark down jacket and jeans.
At a hypnosis session, the following description of the man was put forth: white male, late twenties, 5’8” to 6’, dark brown collar-length hair, a mustache, with possibly a growth on his face. He looked like he hadn’t shaven for a couple of days, and he had a slight cut on his left hand and a ring on his right hand. He had a watch or a charm bracelet on his right arm. He was wearing a dark blue down jacket that went down to his hips, blue jeans that went past his heel, and possibly a black, knit cap (perhaps a watch cap). He wore light tan boots with a one-inch heel. They were hard-soled, or made a noise such that the witness thought that he might’ve have taps on the bottoms of his shoes. He walked like he had a sore left foot.
December 29th, 1979 Between 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM
A burglary occurred at a house on Queen Ann Lane, the house where the two suspicious characters described above had been seen ringing the bell. The man of the house had an affiliation with the UCSB Department of Engineering. A piece of twine, matching the twine that would be later used in the murders, was found in the backyard.
The inner side door leading from the garage to the residence had been forcefully pried open with a 3/8” rectangular screwdriver. So much force had been used that the door frame was broken, and the metal door jamb was lying three feet from the door inside the garage. There were fresh metal-on-metal scratches.
All of the dresser drawers in the master bedroom had been ransacked. In the closet, a key-lock safe had been pried open and two jewelry boxes had been rummaged through. No prints were found at the scene, and some of the items known to have been handled by the burglar(s) were sent in to be analyzed. No prints were found.
The items that were taken included:
An opal pendant. The opal was a Brazilian green and red, cut to an oval shape with a size estimated at 12 x 16 mm. The mounting of the pendant was a fluted filigreed gold-filled mounting (matching a set of earrings). The particular identifying feature of the pendant was that in addition to its distinctive color and mounting, the stone was backed by fourteen-karat sheet gold (which had been glued to the stone). This was not a standard commercial practice, which made this item somewhat unique.
A dinner ring. The ring was a cluster of pearls mounted in a gold setting. The ring was of an unusual design, having been custom made by Pandolfi Jewelers of Santa Barbara. It consisted of between eleven and fifteen pearls, with gold leaves interspersed among the pearls. It was a woman’s ring, and an identifying feature was that the ring band had been flattened to properly size the ring.
Another dinner ring. The ring was an emerald-cut Amethyst set in a gold mounting. The stone was quite large, with overall dimensions of approximately 1/2” x 3/4”. A flexible ring adjuster was installed in the ring band.
A birthstone ring. The ring was a gold band with a small blue birthstone and two small diamonds mounted into the band.
Plain gold cufflinks.
A small gold tie tack, with a polar bear on the tack.
A coin collection. Three two-dollar bills, three Susan B. Anthony dollars, several Canadian and European bills, three Liberty half dollars (1943, 1944, and 1954), five silver quarters, twelve silver Roosevelt dimes, twelve Buffalo nickels, two hundred pennies, and three Kennedy half dollars (one of them was from 1968).
Flashlight. A silicone-plated flashlight with an attached magnet.
A US Merchant Marine Academy ring. It was a gold class ring with words “United States Merchant Marine Academy-1946” in raised letters around the stone setting. The sides of the ring had a stylized Eagle and Shield on both sides. The ring was approximately eighteen pennyweight and the stone had been replaced with a gold signet inscribed with the initials of the owner. Inscribed inside the ring was the number “44-2714.”
A ring. A small, gold man’s signet ring with the initials of the owner inscribed on the inside.
Not saying she was involved, but this event coupled with the others, makes one go hmmmmmm.
But then I'm just an * wannabe armchair Internet detective with a mob mentality.......
