Could this be EAR/ONS? Four sexual assaults took place over the span of 7 weeks in Connecticut during the summer of 1984. They sound very similar to EAR/ONS and would have taken place during his unexplained hiatus.
Here's the problem: on the official Connecticut Cold Case government page there is zero mention of the perp's race or any sort of physical description, yet in a 2008 article written in The New Britain Herald the author describes him as a "soft spoken black man" (source below). To my knowledge, this is the only place where his appearance is ever mentioned. I may be wrong but i'm pretty sure this is a small, local paper so I'm not sure how reliable the info is.
I'm hoping that someone here can help me dig up a source for this info since I've tried but hit a wall on it. If he was in fact African American then EAR can obviously be ruled out.
Here's a description of the attacks from the Connecticut Cold Case site:
In August of 2004, a Superior Court Judge signed Connecticut's first "John Doe" arrest warrant charging a suspect identified only by his DNA profile with four counts of Kidnapping in the First Degree with a Firearm.
The State of Connecticut is offering a reward of up to$50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual responsible for these crimes.
On June 3, 1984, a 25-year-old female was sexually assaulted in her apartment at the Sutton Apartments in Bloomfield by an armed man. The attacker entered through a sliding glass door, and the victim awoke with him standing next to the bed. The man placed his hand over the victim's mouth and told her not to scream or he would shoot her and her roommate. The intruder also said that he had just shot someone at a convenience store.
The intruder told the victim to smell the barrel of the gun. He blindfolded her, sexually assaulted her and then remained in the apartment for what the victim described as an "eternity." The intruder disabled the telephone, which was found the rear yard, searched the residence for valuables and drank a beer from the refrigerator. The victim remained in her bed until she felt the intruder had gone and then summoned police.
On June 26, 1984, a 30-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in her residence at the Trolley Crossing Condominiums in Middletown. The victim was sleeping when the intruder entered through a sliding door and jumped on top of her. The intruder put a gun to her head and told her that he had just shot someone for not cooperating.
The intruder blindfolded the victim, disabled the telephone and searched the residence for valuables and money. At one point, he guided the blindfolded victim downstairs to find her purse. The intruder guided her back to the bedroom where he sexually assaulted her. The intruder remained in the residence asking if there was food in the refrigerator. The victim stated that her attacker remained in the residence for several hours.
On July 21, 1984, a 24-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in her apartment at the Rivers Bend Apartments in Windsor. The victim was sleeping when the intruder entered through sliding glass doors. She awakened to the man putting a gun to her head. The man blindfolded her and sexually assaulted her.
The intruder then sat her in a chair, still blindfolded, while he searched for valuables and money, disabled the telephone, tampered with the time on her clocks and ran water from faucets to cloak his departure. The victim estimated that it was a period of hours from the time the incident began until she felt safe that she could summon assistance.
On July 24, 1984, a 24-year-old woman was sexually assaulted at her apartment at the Westledge Apartments in Rocky Hill. The victim was sleeping in her bed with her 2-year-old daughter when the masked intruder entered through the sliding doors. The victim awoke to the man sitting beside her pointing a gun to the side of her face. The intruder told her not to scream as he began to touch her. The victim requested to move her daughter to another room. The intruder blindfolded her and additionally stuffed cotton balls into the blindfold. He then guided the victim as she carried her sleeping daughter to another bedroom where she placed the child on a bed. The intruder guided the victim back to the other bedroom and sexually assaulted her.
After the assault, the intruder disabled the telephone, searched the apartment for valuables and money and made himself something to eat. The victim estimates that he remained in the apartment for more than one hour, and left water faucets running to cloak his departure.
So, what do you guys think? Sure sounds like EAR to me, but I don't want to speculate too much without knowing whether or not they were even the same race.
The possibility of this being EAR was discussed briefly on the EAR/ONS proboards but the conversation veered off track and never really regained itself: http://ift.tt/1WRXKKp
