Hi Sandia:
I pulled up a thread from the old AETV board, as I remember that you had posted something about your conversation with McGowen's son, Officer Brett McGowen.
Don't know if this will clarify anything, but here is what you said:
quote from Sandia at AETV:
Because of the ongoing discussion regarding if the information on the VR should be included for a new profile of the EAR/ONS I contacted the son of Officer William McGowen and asked him if his father thought the sketch of the VR was accurate and if his father thought any of the sketches of the EAR resembled the VR. Officer McGowen answered me, I have included it here:
"The sketch was produced off my father's description the night he was shot at. Yes he thought it was accurate and he positively identified a suspect and the case was sent to the DA's office for a filing of homicide. According to the reports and records the suspect is deceased now and the suspect he identified walked because the DA at the time said there was not enough evidence to file the case. I dont know if u have ever heard this story but I read the reports. Apparently one of two or both brothers were involved in the prowlings and burglary....I dont think the EARS/ON and ransacker are one in the same."
This was stunning news to me as I was one of those that was convinced the VR was the EAR/ONS.

Again, not sure if what you said at AETV conflicts with, or confirms, what you have said above; just wanted to include it here. I do not recall that you made any other statement at AETV regarding what McGowen's son said to you in your telecom with him.
