I'm going to make a graphic map of the following details about the 2d (Offermann-Manning) Goleta attack where the killer shot Dr. Offermann after he freed himself from his bindings (he was found with his bindings unyied around his wrists) and the killer stole another bike and broke into the empty condo next to the crime location.
Of note: larger shoe size than reported for the EAR
no mention of the dog
only case where apartment-style condo was an attack site in all the EAR/GK/Linked Killer cases
killer fled to the north and abandoned a bike near the general vicinity of his activities the night of the first attack
Earlier the same night (about 9:45 p.m.) there was a break-in at another private residence
In the area of the front (south) yard of 769 [the vacant condo next to the Offermann condo which was 767] next to the fence (east) separating from Offerman's, was an area of flowers that had been trampled. Detectives found Adidas Runner shoe impressions. These were the same type, design and size as those found at Offerman's and the 1st Goleta crime scene. [ measured to be 11 7/16th]. On top of the fence, fibers or hairs of some kind were found. It appeared to detectives that the subject stayed in this area for a long period of time. It was noted that the subject could stand in this area and look over the fence and have an unobstructed view into the Offerman master bed room. There were shoe prints from this position leading to the front porch of 769 [next door condo].
Detectives found on the front door of 769 pry marks in the wood doorframe by the latch. A pry tool had been forced between the wood molding and the doorframe. There were fresh pry marks on the striker plate. The door bolt was inoperable. A front window that was closed, the draperies were left open and from the outside it could be seen the residence was empty. (there were mattresses and blankets inside the residence in the various bedrooms. Not all the drapes were closed, allowing observation of what was in the residence at the time of the murders) [ie, the killer knew the next door condo was vacant before he broke into it and from its front yard could observe the Offermann condo's bedroom]
Pry marks were found on the sliding glass doors. There were fresh pry marks on the backdoor screen, though the door was found locked and the screen closed. The south bedroom window screen had been removed and was located on top of an eight foot high hedge on the northwest side of the residence. One shoe print was found in front of this window.
Detectives believe the subject made entry eventually through a living room window. [obviously after trying to enter through a bunch of windows and doors]
Inside, detectives found pieces of twine that was the same type used to bind Offerman and Manning, 1/16th three strand nylon. These were found on the floor of the master bedroom and on the floor and under the sink within the master bathroom. [also similar to that from the 1st attack]
The Detectives did not find evidence to confirm whether the subject was in 769 before or after the murder.
A Schwinn varsity 10-speed bicycle was stolen from 773 Avenida Pequena. In the yard behind 773 detectives found two more pieces of the same type of twine used to bind Offerman and Manning. [773 was to the west and around the corner from the Offermann condo in the direction of San Jose Creek (i.e. west) The bike was later discovered several blocks away in the vicinity of 936 Crown Avenue. [this location was north of Cathedral Oaks Street and very near where the assailant in the 1st Goleta attack was last seen. It was also a few blocks from where he stole a bike before the 1st attack].
