After reading the similarities of the VR & EAR/ONS, I do believe they are the same person. A poster "theduder3210" wrote about the commonalities, possibly last year on Reddit. I copied & pasted only a few of what he had posted (This may have been posted here already & "theduder3210" may be a member on this message board)
-both were males
-both were white
-both were the same height
-both had blue eyes (which is kind of rare)
-both had blond hair (although during the EAR's spree, occasional victims described his hair as brownish)
-neither wore glasses (wearing glasses was common back then before soft contact lenses took off in the 1980s)
-both had a jutting nose
-both wore the same shoe size
-both were similar ages
-both spoke with a high-pitched voice (which is kind of rare)
-both spoke with no detectable accent (although the EAR apparently did try fake accents and stuttering a few times at one point during his spree…his victims were convinced that the accents and stuttering was very fake)
-both were left-handed (which is rare, only 15% of the male population)
-both operated in California
-both operated in suburban settings
-both operated in neighborhoods that were near the then-new Interstate highway system (presumably for a quick get-away)
Btw Paul Holes doesn't believe VR and EAR are one and the same. Most LE tend not to believe it either. These guys know more about crime than most on here ever will. Obviously nothing sticks out at them as particularly linking the crimes.
