So, after re-listening to the Holes’ interview on Casefile, I think his concerns about the EAR/VR link were somewhat valid at the time, esp considering the fact that he openly stated that he was not looking into the VR, he was leaving that to other investigators who were more interested. So, assuming he had a little more than a cursory understanding of these crimes, his analysis doesn’t strike me as so very different from what a lot of people were saying up until very recently—namely that this guy was heavier, darker-featured, and had a higher voice than the EAR. Now, when you read a closer analysis of the VR case, you see that the weight tends to figure predominantly in his lower half, similar to many EAR descriptions, and recall that not many people in Sac/CCC had a good enough look at this guy’s face to say if it was round or not. Also, we knew clearly at that point that the EAR’s “gravelly” voice was a put-on, most likely covering for a much higher pitched voice. I honestly think that if Holes had taken a hard look at all of this contradictory evidence, he might have been softened in his stance, but there’s also only so much you can focus on in this case as an individual and delegating the VR study to another investigator isn’t that odd. It’s easy to forget, in all the press Holes’ is getting, that this case involved a f* ton of people, mostly because it’s such a huge area with such a massive number of victims. Expecting someone to have a deep understanding of every angle is not totally realistic.
Having said that, I love the job these guys have done with this podcast and I hope they continue to dig up new information.
Also, is there any thread where we’ve discussed this TCSO officer’s family, that they reference in Trolls? I’ve been on here for years, but I can’t remember ever hearing about this link (prob because, like Holes, I wasn’t interested in the VR cases until recently. 😬)
