It is important to note that after Katie and Brian Maggiore were killed that EAR returned to Stockton for an attack and then to South Sacramento. An area of Sacramento he had never attacked in. After the enhanced composite sketch of the Maggiore murder suspects was released EAR never returned to Sacramento to commit any more attacks. Whether we believe in that composite or not it is likely and I believe it closely resembled EAR enough to force him out of Sacramento or at the least to begin his attacks elsewhere. I do believe he is responsible for the Maggiore killings.

agreed.ive tried to read as much as i can about this attack.the best information i can get is from documentaries.katies brother is adamant it was the ear who killed them.also the investigators who studied the crime scene thought so.i think think the ear was more likely exposed by katie as i dont believe the ear was part of the military but i do think he lived close to were katie lived/worked.the pre tied shoelaces found at the scene also add to this.i dont believe in coincdence.

g, that is a great point about how he started attacking elsewhere after the Maggiori's and the enhanced composite sketch. I wonder if that is why LE knew he was going to Contra Costa County. I can understand that they might have the hunch that he would be moving on, but why Contra Costa County?
Katie had been possibly being stalked, right. VW parked and watching her work, if I recall correctly. I can visualize him following the couple like he did that couple in the Goleta neighborhood, pg. 445 in my paperback copy of Sudden Terror, 10:00 p.m. " At one point he was approximately six to ten feet behind them." Now if he did this to the Maggiori's I could imagine big strong M.P. Brian turning around to confront him. As we know, you don't confront GSK (Rodney Miller, Professor Snelling "if" GSK was the VR) were shot because the confronted. Could this scenario that I have concocted make sense? If he then chased and shot Brian, he had to kill Katie because she could identify him. Can anyone clarify the time of day the Maggiori's were killed?

Katie WAS being stalked. It is documented and known. It was after 9:00 pm. I have the exact time I will look for it. I have it in military time as 2/2/78, the time 2110. That is 9:10 pm.

I agree that the composite (probably) prompted him to take his business elsewhere, which would imply that it was probably a good composite of him (at that time).

The above are reasons why I think he was somehow known, familiar to or lived near his victims (in certain instances). I can understand his not wanting to be caught, but to shoot at people as brazenly as he did would seem to indicate that if anyone could get a good look at his face he might be recognised as someone in the community be it a resident, worker or student.
I could be wrong, but as far as I can recall in ST, the instances where people saw him ( i.e., Stan Los) and he had his mask on and was confronted, it was a case of flight not fight.

I think that's an excellent point Greg. But he was not afraid to kill under any circumstances. No matter what. No risk too big. That's why I deeply feel that composite put the fear of God in him. I believe he knew it was time for a "cool change".

Exclude Visalia/Snelling for the moment, and assume that if he did kill the Maggiores, then this is a big step up from rape, and may be his first murders. Would he have fled earlier if RM had died of his injuries? As far as I can recall, he was unmasked when he shot RM.
