The forests and parks of the National Park Service all have their own schedule, which is dependent on their locations and weather. Here is the one for Cuyahoga National Park in Akron, Ohio.

If the CPK did work for the National Park Service, and even if he didn't, he could have applied for temporary seasonal assignments in different states or city/county in Virginia far from his home in Virginia, if he lived in Virginia.

Or, the CPK may have grown up in Virginia, moved away and worked at a National Park where he moved to, then applied for temporary seasonal assignments in a Virginia or West Virginia.

  I'm not quite following their Seasonal Schedule.  Are they trying to say you can sign up for one of 4 schedules (that have overlapping months ??) 

  Why are Jan / Feb listed both as Spring / Winter and June / July listed both as Spring / Summer ?  

  Just didn't expect to see overlapping months !!

AQ,

I don't know why they list some months in more than one season.  

The NPS posts job openings ahead of time when peak visiting is coming up.  NPS will give priority first to current employees, then to employees by seniority.  Some assignments are "temporary", so every year the employee assigned to a job during peak seasons may be different. Or, it may be a permanent position, in which case the same person returns every year to the same job. In other words, sometimes the same employee will return year after year to the same assignment, but other times it's a different person.

Example:   

Remember, this is just a fake example because I don't know the actual schedules, but this is how NPS seasonal assignments work.

There could be a PARK EMPLOYEE working at the Colonial National Park in a permanent position, but the contract/assignment only calls for 9 months MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER.  The employee is off DECEMBER, JANUARY, FEBRUARY.  The employee may sign up for other assignments, whether temporary or permanent, during those months ahead of time so not to be out of work.  Some parks are closed during certain seasons.  For instance, Yosemite National Park is closed during the heavy snow season.  So, those employees may have other assignments at other parks.  Or, they may have another job that's not with NPS.   Some parks offer free housing or at a reduced cost for certain types of employees - like rangers.  It's to entice hard-to-fill positions in unpopular areas. 

I learned all that from research.

CORRECTION

I NOTICED AN ERROR IN THE MECHANICSVILLE MURDERS.  It took place in MAY,  not MARCH.  Here is a corrected table for now.  I'll correct the other one and repost later.

RE:  MECHANICSVILLE MURDERS


Please note:  in the earlier tables with date patterns, the Mechanicsville case is listed as MARCH.  The correct date is MAY 19, 1990.  Surprisingly, this is the exact same date at the Shanandoah murders, six years later.

I've been editing the tables but there are still some I haven't gotten to.  It makes a big difference when looking at patterns, because now there are NO murders in the month of March, and there are three in May during Memorial Day weekends and two on the exact same day (May 19).

Cleo, I think you may have some location errors in your chart(s). Mechanicsville, New Kent, and Henrico are all in VA I believe, not WV. Thanks for putting all of this together!

Vrextar,

ok, great! 

I'm glad when innacuracies are pointed out.  It's important to get things accurate moreso than close to accurate.  For instance, correcting the Mechanicsville month to MAY from March made a huge difference.. It made March a murder-free month, and showed another murder took place on the exact same day. 

I'll edit the charts.

You're welcome, no problem. Here's a link about those murders from a local TV station  (WTVR), which is based in the Richmond, VA area. Henrico is a county around Richmond. There may be a Henrico in WV too, not sure, but this article would seem to imply this happened in VA. This is assuming of course that these are the people mentioned in your chart and not another couple.

Henrico County is in Virginia. At Richmond. Nuff' said.

UPDATED 3/10 - corrected WV to VA, some dates corrected, added Williams-Winans

Do you think it's possible there's more as of yet unknown victims that can possibly be attributed to CPK that would have occurred in the time gaps? Say from 96-09? That's a 13 year difference. If CPK were still alive, not out of the area, and not in jail, I find it hard to believe that they just would've stopped.

If the GSK taught us anything it would be that he could just stop. I think that we are entering the era of realization of past/present unpredictable serial killers, meaning that sometimes even thou we think we've seen it all and know all we can about serial killers, it turns out not to be true.  Because if we knew all about serial killers, why do we still have unsolved killings?  I think that the still unsolved serial killings are because we haven't figured out everything about the aspects of their M.O. or reasons for killing yet and we may never know.

 Not everything has a logical explanation, some things just happen.  Sometimes evil people just do evil things for no reason and are able to stop.  it's like a light switch...  on & off.

Edit: Yes IMHO there are killings that we will never know about... from all serial killers, they will never give up all their victims, they will keep a few only for themselves, because it's all about control for them.

Hmm, yeah, there have been some that have stopped, GSK as you mentioned, and there's been others I'm sure. Makes you wonder if CPK did actually stop, what was the reason for it? Or was there a reason?

It could be the same a the GSK, he got married, had kids, got older and fatter, found a new hobby... or as Trabuco says, maybe he was stationed to another base far away... and continued his crimes...
