Hi all-I want to give this subject it's own thread. nick brought this to folks' attention and he may have already created a thread about it but I can't find it anywhere. I can only find a small discussion that is buried in the Hawkley-Wanner thread.
nick-Please weigh in on this if you have time!
What really stands out about this crime is that the house was located on Auburn-Folsom Rd., a highway/rd that JJD would have traveled as an Auburn Police Officer and someone who frequented (lived in??) Roseville.
The cold brutality is also startling and very reminiscent of the Maggiores: the perp shot both PG&E workers from the street side of their company vehicle apparently after one of them placed a service/outage notice on the front door handle.
I think JJD is very good for this crime. Scenario: JJD has stressful day at work, needs to blow off some steam, decides to check out the house that caught his eye, breaks-in and lurks around maybe while in uniform even, PG&E worker happens on the scene, JJD thinks they got a look at him (maybe they did), he makes a split decision to eliminate them-he does his usual casual walk-up to the PG&E vehicle (or maybe they ran) and he shoots them at close range and flees.

"Two Utility Employes Are Killed
ROSEVILLE (UPI) - Two utility company employes delivering a notice to a remote home of a planned power outage were gunned down at close range Wednesday apparently after they interrupted a burglary. "We have little or no leads on the situation at this time," said Placer County Sheriff's Capt Donald Nunes, noting that no neighbors or passersby in the picturesque foothill area near Folsom Lake reported hearing or seeing anything suspicious. The bodies of William Harrington, 55. of Auburn, and Carla Burkarl. 28. of Citrus Heights, both employes of Pacific Gas & Electric Co., were discovered draped over each other in a utility truck by a passing motorist who thought they had been in a car accident. Harrington was an electrical line patrolman with the company for 16 years. Mrs. Burkart, the mother of two. had worked at PG&E for one month. Scott said the two had placed a notice of the impending power cutoff on the Williams’ door when they were spotted by burglars in the house. They returned to the truck. Scott said, “where they met their death by gunshot wounds. Both were shot in the head.” He said at least two shots were fired from a high-cali-ber weapon at close range in the driveway. The PG&E truck then rolled downhill about 200 feet where it was stopped when it became entangled in brush in a vacant field, Scott said. “The poor people can’t even do a simple job like notifying people that the power is going to be turned off without facing homicide," said one sheriff’s deputy. A 4>/i-hour search of the oak tree-studded area by about 40 sheriff’s deputies, California Highway Patrol officials, and local police officers and two helicopters was called off about 4 p.m. with no trace of the suspect or suspects, authorities said, Nunes said they would continue their house-to-house canvass Thursday. Wesley Williams, a contactor and owner of the ranchstyle home, said the burglars ransacked two bedrooms and moved his pistol from the closet"
