The Dialogue of the East Area Rapist and Original Night Stalker. UnresolvedMysteries

This post of mine will be unconventional. I don't expect it to play a significant role in any form, but I thought it would be intriguing for examination purposes.

I created a list solely of the things the East Area Rapist was reported saying in each crime he committed. I will include certain things the victims may have said, but the majority of the post is focusing purely on the criminal to see how his attitude and phrases mentioned in the towns themselves were presented.

The perpetrator seemingly had a script he followed with each attack, but he did occasionally improvise. Perhaps a connection can be conjured from this type of exercise. I know this may be a pointless endeavor, and I'm well aware of the fact that the East Area Rapist more than likely said a lot more to his victims that weren't documented, so we can only work with what we got and build from there.

  • If you make one move or sound, I'll stick this knife in you. I want to fuck you.

  • Ugh, bitch (stretching her elastic from her pajamas and snapping them down on her back).

  • Your son better stay in the bathroom or I'll stab you in the back with this icepick. I said I only wanted money and food. Don't make me kill everyone in here!

Attack #49

  • Wake up! Get on your stomachs. If you move or look at me, motherfucker, I'll kill you. I need money!

  • Tie his hands. Make them tight or I'll kill you (he threw bindings to the female).

  • Tell me where your money is and I won't hurt you. I need it (he repeated this three times and went looking for the female's purse).

  • I can't find your purse! Show me where it is. One move, motherfucker, and I'll kill you (he threatened the male and led the female to behind the couch).

  • Get on the floor! I'm going to kill you and cut your throat (he draped tennis shorts over her head and masturbated as he made this comment).

  • I'll kill them. I'll kill them. I'll kill them (he repeated this as he was pacing back and forth through the kitchen and hallway).

  • You fucking bitch! I told you to be quiet! (When he walked into the hallway to check on the male, the female ran outside and fell against the side of her house, causing the intruder to run after her and drag her back inside).

After this exchange, no more dialogue was reported. By the time the assailant got back inside, the male was trying to make an escape out of the back entrance. Ultimately, the assault was botched and the intruder fled the home.


I know this may seem like a very disorganized format (which it is). When I was compiling the information together, I wasn't sure how to actually lay out the dialogue properly. I decided to focus on all of the attacks specifically in each town. Whether any connections can be formulated by this strategy remains to be seen, but I wanted to try a different perspective when examining the crimes.

I don't expect this approach to have a significant impact because I understand there are many factors that play a role in each crime, such as the day of the week, year, timing, and victims themselves -- since there aren't transcripts of his conversations in every attack. Most of the information presented comes from the victims after they managed to alert the police.

It would be naive to assume they remember every word the perpetrator said. We have to keep in mind they just experienced a traumatic event. Those type of experiences affects people differently. Some people are in total shock and other people may block out the events that transpired, while others can remember every detail because their senses were heightened when trying to survive.

Nevertheless, we have to work with what we got. It's better than nothing and it's worth examining. Sometimes, looking at things differently with fresh eyes can create new avenues and evidence to explore.

"The Lady in the Fridge" - Who was the red-headed woman found in an abandoned refrigerator in Holt, CA in 1995, and who murdered her? UnresolvedMysteries

The victim was discovered decomposed, inside a refrigerator, in an irrigation ditch along Bacon Island Road, in the Delta area west of Stockton. Individuals who had been scooping the area for coins, cans, and other metal objects when they found the refrigerator that had been tied shut with rope and dumped into the levee. They cut through the rope, opened the fridge, and dug through a patched faux fur waterbed quilt and a Hillary brand sleeping bag before reaching a woman's remains.

Detectives say that the items found inside of the refrigerator lead them to believe that the fridge had resided in the East Bay. They came to this conclusion because the items that they found all had ties to that area. Some of the cities associated were; Richmond, Antioch, Pittsburgh, Oakley, and Brentwood. The electrician's tape used to tie up the victim had been purchased at the military surplus store in Oakley. There was an unopened bag of Ice from the Glacier Ice Co. which is produced in Freemont and shipped only to the East Bay. There were miniature milk cartons in the icebox that are used mainly in hospitals, schools, or institutions.

Based on the contents, police say the refrigerator was likely to have originated between the Highways 680, 580, 4, and Interstate 5.

Hundreds of leads have been followed-up with no success.

[Unresolved Murder] "The Red Head in the Refrigerator" Unidentified woman found dead in Knox County, KY in 1985. UnresolvedMysteries

Hello, this is my first post on here and I hope I'm doing it correctly. I saw about this case on Facebook. This case is local for me and comments in the Facebook post may lead to her being successfully identified so I wanted to share this case with you all.

On April 1, 1985, an unidentified woman was found in a discarded refrigerator in a dumping area off of U.S. 25E in Gray, KY. Her cause of death was asphyxiation although no strangulation marks were on her neck. The case has remained unsolved for 32 years. Jane Doe is described as a white female with red hair and hazel eyes. She was estimated to be between the ages of 25 to 35. The only clothing she was found wearing were 2 pairs of socks on each foot. A pair of brown boots were found nearby. She is believed to have been from out of town and was possibly last seen at a truck stop with hopes of getting a ride to North Carolina. She may have been the victim of the Red Head Killer, a serial killer who killed red heads around I-75 during the 80s.

Besides the information above, there is barely any other information known about who she was and the events that lead to her death. On the Facebook post I mentioned, there are comments by a person that believes this Jane Doe may possibly be her mother. If Jane Doe is indeed her mother, then the red head in the refrigerator is a woman named Espy Regina Black Pilgrim who went by Jeannie. Jeannie went missing from Spindale, NC around 1984(?). She wasn't reported missing until about 20 years later and the case was barely investigated (per her sister-in-law's comments on the Facebook post.)

Hopefully, Jane Doe will be confirmed as Jeannie. Despite this, the circumstances of her death still remain a mystery. Many questions still stand. Who is Jane Doe (if she is not Jeannie Pilgrim)? Why was she in Kentucky? Was she the victim of the Red Headed Killer? Did she die before or after she was placed in the fridge? What happened to her clothing?

So, so, so many questions. Let's hope this case will be completely solved soon. What do you all think?

Russian LISK. Maniac of Novosibirsk [Resolved] UnresolvedMysteries

What do you know about Russia? Vodka, AK-47, bears? Well, this is not enough, because you don't know about modern Russian serial killers. And I'll try to tell you more about them.

Maniac of Novosibirsk (in Russian "Новосибирский маньяк")

Span of killings: 1998-2006

Location: Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia

Victims: 17 or 19 females

Suspect: former policeman Evgeniy Tchuplisnkiy

Motive: presumably sexual offences

Murders

On 19 October 1998, on a dump in the forest on the left bank of the Ob River in Novosibirsk, near the Tylinskiy village, body parts of a young female were discovered. The body was found without breasts and uterus. The parts of the body were found in the old fridge. Not so far from the refrigerator under the sheet of iron laid the victim's head. The victim was never identified.

The murderer left a lot of strange things at the crime scene. There was a circle on the ground formed from wooden bricks about 30 cm long with unknown symbols. In the center of the circle there was a wooden ring split into 8 sectors with pictures.

The another victim was Anna, 18 year old woman who went to her friend's birthday party, but never returned home. Her body was discovered in a ditch after a month after her disappearance. It was also separated, one of the hands was missing, but it was found in the mouth of a stray dog. Before the death the victim was raped and after stabbed in the heart.

Most of the victims were raped and stabbed with the knife, their heart had been removed and heads was separated from bodies and put in red nightgowns. The murderer cut pentagrams and arrows on the victims' skin with the knife. The mutilation was often extreme to the point, many of the victims were so badly disfigured that police were unable to identify them.

All of the murders took place in desolate areas in the outskirts of the city, such as landfills, windbreaks, and hard shoulder of roads.

At the one crime scene the white bloody glove was found and alleged offender's DNA was found on the fragment of a body.

In 2006 murders stopped. The last victim of the murder was found in two bags without ritual symbols on the crime scene. It was the 17th victim. She was identified as the missing prostitute from Novosibirsk.

Victims

Victims of the serial killers were young females 18-31 years old with dark hair who worked in the sex industry and had problems with drugs, but not all. For example, Anna was not a prostitute. For now only seven victims have been identified.

Investigation

When the investigation began the police worked out one main version. They thought that it was a serial of ritual murders. Because of that detectives interrogated local Satanists. Also they interrogated doctors, because the serial killer knew how to dismember bodies; and garbage men, because parts of bodies were found in dumps. But the investigation went to a dead end. All they knew that the killer was a man 40-55 years old, who owned a car and lived in Novosibirsk. Detectives interviewed about 3 000 witnesses and interrogated about 5 000 suspects (!) who were men of the same age as the killer, lived in Novosibirsk and had a car. It was a great investigation (it's a sarcasm). They also had a lot of approximate sketches of the killer, but it couldn't help them.

In 2005 the case was classified and policemen didn't tell the media and the society about this murders. And this pattern is typical for the Russian police. They didn't tell society about the "GTA Gang", which killed a lot of people on the route near Moscow, they didn't tell about the killer from Angarsk, who killed about 83 women (!). By the way, the latter was a former policeman.

In 2006 the case was cold because the police couldn't find the serial killer. In this year the killer decided to help the police and stooped murders. Due to the sudden ending of the killings in 2006, the investigators believed that the unknown perpetrator may possibly have been coincidentally arrested, died, or fled Novosibirsk.

When detectives tracked a phone of one of the missing women, who worked as a prostitute, but was not considered a victim of the Maniac of Novosibirsk because she was just... a missing person. They got her phone from a taxi driver. Detectives interrogated him. His testimony was inconsistent and he told them the story about two men who fought each other and lost this phone. He was taken into custody and policemen searched his garage with a police dog. And the dog behaved strangely. There were signs that it was a corpse under the garage floor, but there were no blood spatter and they let the taxi driver go without the DNA test, but took his DNA sample for the police DNA base.

Since 2007 the head of Investigative Committee of Russia put pressure on detectives and told them to reopen the case. And they did it. Policemen caught Vladimir Fisenko, a 64 year old teacher, who drove a car and was identified by a picture by a prostitute, who was attacked and ran away from her assailant. But they were wrong. Again. The girl did not recognize the man in person. The case was a cold. Again.

In 2016 a DNA test was performed and a match was found in the base of suspects. The killer was the taxi driver, who was took into custody and let go. Brilliant!

By the way, in October 2015 investigators arrested another killer who was suspected of being the Maniac of Novosibirsk — a taxi driver Alexey Ivanov, who has confessed to killing four women in his quest to 'cleanse' Novosibirsk of sex workers. This was pure luck.

Arrest

Finally, on 28 April 2016, Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation reported that a suspect had been arrested, later identified as 51-year-old former policeman Evgeniy Tchuplisnkiy, however he has not been found guilty of the killings. Now he is undergoing interrogations and sometimes confesses to a crime, sometimes not. He passed a psychiatric examination and was declared sane. Now he is charged with killing 19 women.

The Main Suspect

Evgeniy Tchuplisnkiy is 52 years old now. He has two adult sons and a wife, he is fond of dogs. He was a professional breeder of poodles. He also owns a chain of hardware shops and works as a taxi driver. His neighbors and relatives speak of him as of a polite and kind person.

He didn't confess to the crimes, but he tells investigators about his murders. Evgeniy Tchuplisnkiy also told about the ritual symbols. He used them to confuse the detectives and send them the wrong track. And he succeeded.

I can't find any details because a lot of information is not published by the investigators yet. We don't know about his motives and names of victims, any information about chronology of crimes for now. And I hope that one day all of his victims will be identified and will rest in peace.

[Unresolved Murder] Japanese journalist's update on the Setagaya family murders UnresolvedMysteries

Quick Wikipedia article about the Setagaya family murder for the uninitiated: [here]

The bizarre behavior of the perpetrator, and the police's inability to capture a suspect when the perpetrator has left blood and his own feces at the scene, have been the main focus of this case:

As details were gradually released to the public, it was clear that the circumstances of the crime bordered on the bizarre. According to a police reconstruction, upon entering the house shortly before midnight, the killer stabbed to death the two parents and daughter and strangled the son. He then lingered in the house, helping himself to the contents of the refrigerator (including ice cream), going online to surf the internet and using the toilet. He napped on the second floor sofa and departed the crime scene shortly after 10 a.m.

The investigators must have felt confident they would get their man, as the criminal left behind a veritable cornucopia of forensic evidence. Shoes and articles of clothing suggested a possible link to South Korea. Even more curious was the DNA extracted at the scene, which pointed to a male with East Asian ancestry — but not necessarily Japanese — on his father’s side, and what appeared to be south European ancestry on his mother’s side.

This excerpt is from this article, which is about the book this update comes from.

Apparently fingerprints lifted from the crime scene were traced back to an unnamed Korean national, and Japanese government has asked the Korean government for the official cooperation in investigation, but the Korean government refused. There are other evidences supporting he is Korean too, i. e. his shoes and fanny pack which were made in Korea. (But there is a lot of debates in his nationality, since these appeared to be bought in Japan and there were sand granules most likely originated from California found in his fanny pack.)

A crime journalist, Fumiya Ichihashi(who publishes under the name Fumiya Hitosubashi), has acquired the unnamed Korean suspect's name and other personal information, flew to Korea, and investigated it himself. Ichihashi calls the unnamed Korean suspect by the pseudonym of In-un Lee(이인은,李仁恩).

According to him, Lee's footprints and fingerprints closely matched those of the scene, and Lee had known many details of the case that weren't officially released by the police. Lee was now working in the Korean military. Lee claimed he was only hired to kill the Miyazawa family by an 'underground real estate developer' named 'Kaneda'.

The reason for this? Apparently, the family had cash worth $1,200,000 at the time of the crime. The city of Tokyo was trying to expand the park which was right behind the Miyazawa family's house, so they compensated everyone in the neighborhood generously. Miyazawa family planned to move out of the house at April, and they were the last house to stay in the neighborhood. Kaneda heard about this and asked Lee to carry out the robbery. To Ichihashi's own research, this 'Kaneda' figure is big in Japanese underworld/organized crime scene, who possesses ridiculous amount of wealth.

Few points validate this theory:

  1. Family friends stated the neighborhood was near vacant because the city did indeed plan to expand the park which was situated behind the Miyazawas' house. Majority of the people already moved out after accepting the generous compensation the city of Tokyo offered. (Despite this, the exact amount of money Miyazawa family was offered was unclear.)
  2. Every drawers/storage spaces were opened and searched. There were documents and other miscellaneous paper articles strewn in the bath tub, as if they were discarded after looking through, searching for something. Their bank books, driver's license, credit cards were organized neatly on the second floor sofa.

The book this theory was published in can be found on Japanese Amazon. Found excerpts of this book translated into Korean online, and then I translated that into English. I don't know how true this theory might be. But an interesting point.

The Redhead Murders: Serial Killer or Coincidence? [Unresolved Crime] UnresolvedMysteries

I’ve seen one or two posts about this case but thought I would do a more thorough write-up, as it was something that piqued my interest.

The Redhead Murders is a name given to a string of unsolved murders of young women, most of whom had red hair. The murders occurred between 1978 and 1992 in five different states, with several occurring in 1985. All were found abandoned on the side of major highways. Some were clothed, some were naked, and some had had sex not long before they died.


List of victims thought to be connected:

  • Wetzel County Jane Doe: WCJD’s body was found on February 13th 1983 near Route 250 in West Virginia. She was believed to be between 35 and 40 years old, and had red hair. She had several scars, included a caesarean scar. Her ears were double-pierced and she had orange painted toenails. She had died two days earlier, possibly from suffocation. Her body was recently placed as there was snow on the ground but not on the body, and tire tracks and footprints were found nearby. No evidence of sexual assault was found. A middle aged white man had been seen near where her body was found, though was never identified.

  • Lisa Nichols/Jarvis: Lisa’s body was found on September 16th 1984 along the I-40 in Arkansas. She was 28 years old. She had been strangled and was found wearing only a sweater. She was a resident of West Virginia, and was identified nine months after being found by a couple from Florida who she had been staying with. It is believed that she had become estranged from her family, hence why it took police so long to identify her.

  • Campbell County Jane Does: Two victims were found in Campbell County, Tennessee. The first was found on the I-75 on New Year’s Day 1985. She was thought to have been dead for 3 days. She had red hair, freckles, and several scars on her body. She had been 10-12 weeks pregnant, and was thought to have recently given birth. Unlike some of the other victims, she was fully clothed in a tan-coloured top and men’s Levi jeans. She had no shoes on. The second Campbell County victim was found on April 3rd 1985 on the Big Wheel Gap road. She was younger than some other victims, estimated between 9 and 15 years old. Only 32 bones were found, but skull reconstruction was possible. It was thought she was dead for at least a year before being found. Her hair colour and cause of death were not possible to be identified due to decomposition. She was wearing a necklace and a bracelet made of plastic buttons.

  • Cheatham County Jane Doe: CCJD was found a few days before the second Campbell County victim, on March 31st 1985. She had been dead for 2-5 months, and was found on the I-24. She was in her 30s, 5 feet tall and had red hair. She was clothed, and pictures of the items of clothing can be found on the Doe Network entry listed below.

  • Knox County Jane Doe: KCJD was found just a day later in a refrigerator on Route 25E in Kentucky. She had been dead for a couple of days. There were reports that she may have been asking for a ride to North Carolina on CB radios before her death. She was under 5 feet tall, had red hair, freckles, and several scars and birthmarks. She had given birth at some point in her life. She died of asphyxiation, and was naked except for two socks on each foot and two distinctive necklaces. A pair of brown boots were found nearby that may have belonged to her. 500 locals attended her funeral, which was televised.

  • Greene County Jane Doe: GCJD’s body was found on April 14th 1985 on the I-81 in Greene County, Tennessee. She had been dead for several weeks. She was approximated to be between 14 and 20 years old, had red-tinted shoulder length hair, and was between 5’4 and 5’6. She was between 6 and 8 weeks pregnant, but had unfortunately suffered a miscarriage right before her murder. Unlike the other victims, she had died from blunt force trauma.

There are several other victims which have been considered as being connected, most of whom are also unidentified. An extensive list can be found on the wikipedia page listed in the links below.


It is thought that a lot of the victims remain unidentified because they had lost contact with their families. The common opinion seems to be that the women were either hitch-hiking or engaging in sex work when they were picked up by their killer/s.

There have been a few suspects for these crimes. In the mid-80s, a trucker attempted to strangle a red-headed woman and left her on the side of a highway presuming her to be dead. He was later dismissed as a suspect in these crimes. A second trucker, a 32 year old from Pennsylvania, was questioned after raping a woman in Indiana but he was also dismissed after questioning.

While it's not a nice thought to have, it's possible that this wasn't the work of a serial killer, and in fact several women falling victim to different killers. Maybe them having red hair, or being dumped on highways is just a characteristic about them that has been drawn out but actually has no correlation. Whilst there are similarities between the cases, there are also inconsistencies which cast doubt over the theory that these are all the work of one killer (for example, some discrepancies in method of killing, and whether victims were clothed).

What do you think? Was this the work of a serial killer?

The East Area Rapist part 8 - Seeking New Challenges. UnresolvedMysteries

Welcome back! This is my eighth entry of my "The East Area Rapist" series. The six cases I will be covering offer strange clues regarding the progression of this heinous criminal. Not only is the perpetrator expanding his range to commit crimes, he is also transitioning into a much darker enigma, and possibly seeking new challenges for himself. With that being said, let's begin.


Florin Mall Incident

On February 15, 1978, nearly two weeks after the brutal slaying of Brian and Katie Maggiore, a man with this composite sketch attempted a robbery on a seventeen year old girl at the Florin Mall Shopping Center located in Sacramento, California.

After the botched robbery, the suspect tried fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle. During the pursuit by law enforcement, the criminal crashed into a thirty-nine year old California Highway Patrol officer by the name of Paul Lehner. The delinquent abandoned the vehicle in the process and managed to elude police on foot.

While many people in law enforcement don't attribute this crime to The East Area Rapist -- particularly because of the uncharacterized modus operandi -- it's the details of this person's body stature, looks and clothing that generally get mentioned when discussing the infamous case of the rapist.

This incident was published in the Sacramento Bee on February 20, 1978. According to eyewitness testimony, the suspect was in his twenties and had dark brown hair with hazel eyes (sometimes affiliated with The East Area Rapist) and was approximately 160 pounds. He was wearing a Pendleton style t-shirt and a tan coat, along with beige colored pants.

Interesting things that are noteworthy

  • The Pendleton style t-shirt is a common piece of attire The East Area Rapist wore during his attacks. However, these types of shirts are rather popular.

  • I haven't been able to find what type of stolen vehicle the suspect was driving. Personally, I consider it an important piece of information in terms of comparing the vehicle to the alleged vehicle(s) The East Area Rapist had driven throughout his reign of terror.

  • There's not much basis to go on when attempting to link this crime to The East Area Rapist, other than the composite sketch and outward appearance of the individual. Though the notorious rapist is quite brazen and bold in his atrocities, he is also meticulous. With all of that aside, it's worth mentioning this unsolved crime in the overall timeline of events. Two weeks prior the murder of Brian and Katie Maggiore occurred in Rancho Cordova -- a twenty minute commute to Sacramento, California. The next confirmed attack by The East Area Rapist would take place two weeks later from the Florin Mall incident.

  • If this attack was committed by The East Area Rapist, the question is why? For the sake of speculation, I can only assume it was an egocentric move if he was Brian and Katie Maggiore's killer. Perhaps he thought if he could kill two people in a safe community and walk away without being arrested, he could easily commit a robbery in public. However, with it being a failure in terms of a clean getaway, he retreated back to his roots. Nevertheless, this is baseless speculation.

Victim 30

It was Saturday, March 18, 1978 in Stockton, California. It was approximately 1:00 in the morning when a young couple woke up from a flashlight beam on their faces. Simultaneously, a .357 Magnum was pointed in their direction and the intruder calmy said, I won't hurt you. Just be quiet. All I'm here for is money and food so I can live a little longer.

In typical fashion, the intruder forced the boyfriend to lay on his stomach while his girlfriend tied him up, all the while threatening them, Don't move or try anything or I'll blow your fucking heads off. Once they were subdued the trespasser asked where they kept their money. The girlfriend said her purse was located on the kitchen counter and the boyfriend mentioned his wallet was on the coffee table in the family room.

The masked intruder left the master bedroom and began ransacking the kitchen and family room. He soon returned to the couple with a much more volatile response, placing the muzzle of his gun on the neck of the boyfriend, frustrated for being unable to find the boyfriend's wallet. Where is your wallet? You better not fucking lie to me again or I'll kill you, he said. The boyfriend listened intently and told him he must have placed it in the kitchen.

The aggressor demanded the boyfriend to lift up his head so he could blindfold him with strips of towels he had cut earlier. The boyfriend pleaded with the man, begging him to not cover his mouth because he had allergies, but the request fell on deaf ears. His attention was focused on the girlfriend as he ordered her, Get up! Don't look at me or behind you. If you don't listen to me, I'll fucking kill you, while he proceeded to blindfold her.

After leading the girlfriend into the living room, the intruder continued to constrain her with more shoelaces as he routinely rummaged through the kitchen to get dinnerware to place on the boyfriend's back -- spewing more death threats if he tried anything heroic. Once he returned to the helpless girlfriend, he squatted down and rubbed his genitals all over her backside before placing his penis in her hands saying, Play with it. You better make it good!

At one point during this procedure, he massaged his penis with the bottom of the victim's foot, before smearing suntan lotion over her private parts and anally sodomizing her. Due to the immense amount of pain and fear she started crying and screaming, but the rapist angrily hissed at her, Shut up! This is how I fuck!

Shortly thereafter, he left the victim crying in agonizing pain while he grabbed two cans of beer from the refrigerator and relaxed outside on the patio. When he came back inside, he issued more hostile threats towards the woman and her boyfriend before silently leaving the residence without their knowledge. The young couple eventually helped each other loosen their bindings and called police.

Interesting things that are noteworthy

  • Authorities found the two beer cars empty in the victim's lawn.

  • The girlfriend said the intruder's penis was three inches long, at best. Moreover, she mentioned he had a pot belly and spoke very quickly with a peculiar Mexican accent, but it didn't seem entirely authentic. She also stated the rapist sounded to be sobbing and hyperventilating while out on the patio.

  • According to the victim's neighbor, between March 1 - March 15, 1978, a green Ford along with a faded colored van were seen numerous times parked across the street from their residence.

  • On March 11, 1978, another nearby neighbor living on Meadow Avenue mentioned seeing a young white male in his late teens or early twenties driving a rugged, faded colored van slowly down the road and adamantly staring into homes as he drove by.

  • There was a lot of strange activity in the victim's neighborhood during the night of March 15, 1978. Three days before the attack, victim 30 reported sounds of someone kicking their air conditioner. Interestingly, months prior on New Year's Day, two door locks from the boyfriend's home had been damaged. His girlfriend was receiving continual phone calls for two weeks asking if so and so lived there, who never did. There is a confliction with these statements. While many reports, especially on the Quester Files, say these oddities happened in March, Richard Shelby's book, "Hunting a Psychopath," mention them happening in the month of January. Regardless of the actual date, the information is still valid and relevant.

  • At 10:30 in the evening on March 15, 1978, a neighbor spotted a prowler looking into her bedroom window.

  • The following night on March 16, 1978, a resident living close by to victim 30 on Meadow Avenue heard someone rifling through her backyard. Furthermore, another neighbor started receiving obscene phone calls, asking the homeowner if she would talk to him while he masturbated.

  • A neighbor saw a person using a flashlight in their backyard at approximately 9:30 p.m. on March 17, 1978. One hour later, a separate neighbor heard noises on the side of their home. Following that, a neighbor located on Meadow Avenue saw a white male who appeared to be between the ages of 18-22. He had blonde hair and was spotted stepping out of a 1972 green pinto with a red gas can and walking down the block. It's unclear whether or not this green pinto was the same colored Ford vehicle periodically in the two weeks of March 1 - March 15, 1978.

  • Hours later at 3:30 in the morning -- now March 18, 1978 -- the official attack on victim(s) 30 happened. Neighbors heard someone running down the block frantically and moments later a car engine revved up and quickly fled the area. Strangely, another report mentioned somebody seeing three men running down Meadow Avenue and turning left on Coral.


Victim 31

In Sacramento, California on Friday, April 14, 1978, a fifteen year old teenager was asked to babysit a husband and wife's youngest daughter while they went out to eat for dinner. The other children of the parents were away from home visiting friends, so the young babysitter happily accepted the proposition.

The teenager arrived to the residence close to 9:00 p.m. Roughly forty minutes later, she had put the child to bed and continued watching television in the family room. Unexpectedly, two loud bangs could be heard hitting the door leading into the house from the garage. This sound caused the babysitter to be startled, and suddenly another loud bang occurred, this time caving in the door.

A man wearing a ski mask quickly barged through and charged at the babysitter with an icepick in his hand. Frightened by the entire ordeal, she felt paralyzed, unable to move as the intruder began threatening her, Don't move or talk, or I'll kill you! He forced her to lay down on her stomach and bound her hands and wrists together, while throwing a baby blanket over her head for a blindfold.

Although she wasn't a mother, her parental instincts to protect the child came forward, asking the intruder if she could get the barking dog to be quiet so it wouldn't wake up the sleeping child. The man refused her quest and continued spitting hostile threats to her.

With standard routine, the intruder assured the young teenager he wasn't going to hurt her by saying, All I want is the money and I'll be gone, before rummaging through the household. He returned moments later issuing her, Relax and be quiet or I'll fucking kill you. I've wanted to fuck you for a long time. He proceeded to remove her underwear and as he was about to begin his rape, the landline telephone miraculously started ringing.

The trespasser remained undaunted, letting the phone ring until it eventually stopped. Suddenly, the phone started ringing again, agitating the rapist. He picked her up and led her to the phone, demanding to say "Hello" calmly, all the while commanding her to hold his penis with her restrained hands. As soon as she gave the customary response to the caller, he ended the call.

Shortly thereafter, the phone rang off the hook for a third time, only infuriating the man even further. He angrily pushed her outside on the patio and attempted to resume his rape, but at that precise moment the babysitter's father walked into the home yelling his daughter's name. She turned around and screamed out, Dad! As quickly as she had done so, the intruder had already jumped from the patio and disappeared into the night.

Interesting things that are noteworthy

  • This attack is generally associated with the name, The Minnow Hole Jogger." Around the timeframe of 10:15 - 10:30 at night, a wife and husband were fishing at a spot known as Minnow Hole in the Sacramento River. As she was heading up the embankment back to her vehicle, a man started jogging by. When he was fairly close to the woman he said, *Did you catch any fish? She responded, Nope. He replied with, Ah. My wife is going to be mad. The wife reported this incident the following afternoon because of how suspicious the person was. She described him as a young white male in his early twenties. His height was approximately 5'8 - 5'10. He had a medium built frame with brown hair and a mustache. Furthermore, he was not dressed in the proper attire someone would use for jogging.

  • When the police were called to the crime scene, they brought along their bloodhounds and even a helicopter overlooking the area(s). Unfortunately, no substantial information was gained.

  • The babysitter said the intruder tried disguising his voice by speaking softly.

  • Between March 30 - April 10, 1978, the home next to where the attack occurred, had someone leave their gate left wide opened numerous times during the night.

  • The victim's mother was a teacher at Sacramento City College. Her father worked for the State of California in the Department of Water Resources. A few weeks before the assault, the victim had paid a visit to the local doctor. The week of her attack, she had visited the orthodontist. While this may not mean anything in and of itself, it's worth mentioning primarily because the many victims claimed by The East Area Rapist had connections in some formality to the military and medical field.

  • On April 11, 1978, the actual family members who were living where the attack occurred on victim 31, the fourteen year old daughter heard strange noises on their patio. When her mother turned the light on, they saw a person on their patio before fleeing.

  • One big question is: Was the babysitter the intended target, or the fourteen year old daughter? How would The East Area Rapist know the babysitter would be called that unfortuante evening? However, what's captivating is that the babysitter had allegedly been receiving strange phone calls for the past two months at her own place of living. In one instance, the babysitter's older sister answered the phone and the caller said, I fucked your sister. This indicates the babysitter was at least a considered target for the rapist.

  • The neighbor of where the attack took place heard strange screeching and scratching sounds on the side of their residence at 11:30 p.m. on April 13, 1978, but the noises immediately stopped when their dog started barking.

  • On the night of the attack on April 14, 1978, a mysterious Cadillac had been seen in the neighborhood over the course of two weeks. Around 9:15 at night -- the parents had already left their home -- the same Cadillac was supposedly spotted in the driveway of the home. Fifteen minutes later the dogs in the vicinity started barking ferociously.

  • This next incident may not be the work of The East Area Rapist, but there are interesting tidbits to be learned. On March 30, 1978, a man who referred to himself as Jack from the town of Quincy visited Riverside Convalescent Hospital and conversed with one of the nurses. According to her, he said dubious things to her, such as having sex issues, and that his father had a girlfriend, but he didn't. Moreover, he claimed to be a former patient at the psychiatric ward at the medical center in Sacramento. Subsequently, he started singing "I'll Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash, before the nurse told him to leave. Two weeks later on April 10, 1978, the same nurse was outside of her place of employment to make sure everything was tidied up. While doing so, the same man had snuck up on her unexpectedly and tried speaking about his sexual problem(s). She was rightfully terrified by the incident and demanded him to leave once more. She hasn't had an encounter with him since. When she was relaying the details to authorities, she said he appeared to be in his early twenties, 5'8 - 5'10 in height, had light colored brown hair that was neatly trimmed, a medium sized body frame, and was wearing a blue windbreaker. She described him as a person dressed like a jogger. Whether or not this was The East Area Rapist, it can't be certain. However, there are many striking similarities in terms of reported appearances and clothing the individual(s) wore.


Victim 32

With nearly two months of silence, The East Area Rapist struck once more on June 5, 1978 in Modesto, California. The couple were awakened by repeated tapping noises in their bedroom. When they arose, a masked intruder carrying a .357 Magnum and a flashlight, stunned them with the beam.

He hastily ordered the husband to lay down on his stomach while he threw a pair of shoelaces at the wife, demanding her to bind her husband. When the couple was secured, the intruder tried easing their worries by saying, I'm only here for many and food for my van.

He left the two in the master bedroom and began ransacking the household, returning unexpectedly without their knowledge until they heard him scream at the wife to get up. In the process he gestured to the husband, I'm going to rape your wife now. Lay still.

The intruder proceeded to force the wife into the living room, pushing her on her stomach. Afterwards, he went to the kitchen to remove dishes from the cabinet and placed them on the husband's back, continuing his bombarding threats, If I hear these dishes rattle, I'll blow your fucking head off.

When he returned to the helpless wife, he spoke in a low, somber voice and had an unsavory aroma on him. As he made his advances with the rape, he paced back and forth in a disgruntled state after climaxing. During this scenario, his breathing grew louder and he began to sob momentarily. He regained his composure and threatened the couple a few more times before leaving the residence without their recognition.

Interesting things that are noteworthy

  • The wife had her wrists so tightly bound with shoelaces, the rope was penetrating through her skin.

  • The couple detected a Mexican accent, but they firmly believed it wasn't authentic. This would be the second account of a victim(s) mentioning this particular accent that didn't seem genuine.

  • The strange aroma was later recalled to be that of beer, though it can't be confirmed definitively, mainly due to the couple not having beer in their home.

  • When the intruder's anger increased, he ended stuttering his words. This is something that was becoming quite frequent from The East Area Rapist. His known incidents of stuttering occurred on victim 21 -- the family of the husband who berated Detective Richard Shelby a the first town hall meeting in November of 1976, and the attacks where he angrily ranted about the police.

  • According to the wife, the intruder appeared to be 6'0 in height and in his early twenties. He had also worn gloves, but she wasn't able to get a proper glimpse of them. However, the texture of them when he had touched her, were described as leather or latex. Likewise, he was wearing dark clothing, and though the color can't be verified, the wife said he was wearing a windbreaker. This is interesting, because the same individual who introduced himself as "Jack from the town of Quincy" at the Sacramento hospital wore the same attire.


Victim 33

On Wednesday, June 7, 1978 in the college town of Davis, California, a young college student was woken up in her apartment between 3:00 - 4:00 in the morning by a jarring hand clamped over her mouth and a screw driver pricked against her throat. The masked intruder said, All I want is money and food. If you cooperate, I won't hurt you.

Though he attempted to feign her, as he was restraining her hands and ankles, the woman relentlessly fought off her attacker, but to no avail. He grabbed a handful of her hair and jerked her head back saying, Don't fucking move! If you do, you'll never see your friends again! Nevertheless, she remained steadfast and resilient, screaming as loud as she could in effort to alert somebody. The trespasser quickly grabbed a pair of her underwear and shoved them into her mouth for a gag.

With her now being momentarily silent, the man rummaged through her bedroom. The victim kept her eyes on the individual, trying to loosen her constraints when he was facing the opposite direction. She managed to get the shoelaces tied around her ankles free, but the sound of her squirming caused the perpetrator to react, quickly jumping on top her and punching her with such an aggressive force that her nose had broken.

Despite the excruciating pain, she continued fighting with all of the adrenaline she had left, using her legs and feet to kick the man in his thighs and quadriceps. He retreated for a fleeting second before grabbing a nail file to use for a knife, placing the object near her eyes and creating a gashing cut. He quickly regained control of the situation and subdued the victim as he screamed obscenities, Stop fucking moving and screaming or I'll kill you! You're never going to see your friends again, now!

The assailant progressed with his primary goal; lathering his penis down with lubrication and hissing through clenched teeth, Play with it! A short time later he shoved her face into the pillow, holding the nail file steadily against her neck as he raped and threatened her until completion. The rapist hurriedly grabbed his belongings and vanished from the apartment complex.

Interesting things that are noteworthy

  • This attack is engrossing for many reasons. For one, the strike occurred in an apartment, which is generally uncommon for this person. Secondly, it was only two days later from his previous attack in Modesto, California, which is an hour and a half drive from Davis, California. Lastly, he performed the rape in the victim's own bedroom. Typically, the assailant would take his victim into the family room to commit his attack.

  • Between 1972 - 1976, a criminal known as The Early Bird Rapist was partaking in similar crimes in California. He preferred to attack women living in apartment buildings. In total, he tallied up 41 victims. Furthermore, he was approximately 5'8 - 5'10 in height. However, he was described as stocky and slightly heavy set and appeared to be in his thirties.

  • The victim told authorities her rapist was wearing a dark colored t-shirt that was inside out, and was sporting a nylon stocking cap of the same color. His pants were brown corduroy and his tennis shoes resembled that of a runner. At one point he removed his gloves and touched her, to which she stated his hands felt very calloused. In her approximation, he was 5'10 in height and weight 175 pounds. He also had a small penis and was never fully erect during the sexual assault.

  • This was the first time the criminal had attacked in Davis, California. Nonetheless, the apartment building was across the street from a public biking and walking trail -- a typical location the rapist would use in order to canvas and escape neighborhoods. With that fact, an interesting timeline of strange events can be pieced together by eyewitness testimony. On the afternoon of May 30, 1978, the janitor for the apartment complex in Davis, CA had seen a strange man a week prior to the sexual assault, watching the victim as she swam in the pool. Then, on June 5, 1978, the young college student saw a man similar to the janitor's description. He had followed her while she went to retrieve her mail. He was described as a white male in his early twenties, roughly 6'0 in height and had a mustache. What's odd is this event happened on the exact night The East Area Rapist attacked his victim(s) in Modesto, California. If the reports are accurate, this indicates the perpetrator stalked multiple victims at once and had the time to freely travel in excessive distances to perform such atrocities.


Victim 34

It was Friday, June 23, 1978 when The East Area Rapist returned to Modesto, California and attacked a sleeping couple at 1:30 in the morning. While the family was peacefully sleeping, their dog started barking hellaciously. When they woke up to the sudden commotion, a flashlight immediately blinded them as a masked intruder said, Shut your fucking dog up or I'll blow your head off.

The groggy husband abided by the intruder's demands and managed to calm his cocker spaniel. Subsequently, the man forced the husband on his stomach and ordered the wife, Tie him up, now. While doing so, his anger kept persisting through his gritted teeth as he repeated, Tighter. Tie him tighter!

Thereafter, he put the wife in constraints and started placing items in his carrier bag while ransacking the master bedroom. He found the husband's tennis shoes and removed the laces to bind the couple more substantially. While doing so, he told the husband, All I want is money and food for my van. I'll be gone soon. Just lay still. If you try to kick me, I'll fucking kill you and your wife.

With things going smoothly for the rapist, he left the bedroom to browse the rest of the home. Once he returned he accused the wife unjustly, What the fuck are you doing? Are you trying to untie him? Enraged by his paranoia, he untied the wife's ankles and propped her onto her feet, pushing her down the hallway and screaming to the husband, If you dare try anything, I'll fucking kill her!

Now that the wife was in a separate room, the trespasser grabbed dishes from the kitchen cabinets and stacked them on the husband's back. Afterwards, he blindfolded him with precut strips of towels and left him alone to return to the wife physically torture and rape her unapologetically. The rapist had spent forty-five minutes inside the home before leaving unexpectedly. When the husband and wife felt they were home alone, they helped each other free themselves and called the police, who quickly arrived to the crime scene.

Interesting things that are noteworthy

  • If this attacker was the same person who struck victim 33 in Davis, California, it's interesting to realize he told the husband not to try and kick him while he was fastening his ankles together.

  • The rapist ended up stealing the couple's wedding rings and the husband's own gun.

  • The family never got a decent look at their aggressor, but they said when he had spoken in clenched teeth, he portrayed a Mexican accent that seemed artificial. Furthermore, the tone of his voice indicated the intruder was in his early twenties.

  • It's unknown what type of bag he carried with him. However, in a previous attack where he brought along a bag, the victim mentioned it appearing to be a doctor's bag. This is fascinating, because this couple were employees at Modesto City Hospital. Again, more victims that have connections to the medical field.

  • The location the family was living was fairly new. They had moved in three months prior and the surrounding neighborhood was in the process of constructing new homes. This fact would later become a piece of evidence bringing forth new clues to the criminal's possible employment history.

  • Five days before the attack, a neighbor reported seeing a strange man walking through various yards. He briefly conversed with the stranger, who told the homeowner he worked for a Solar development company. When the homeowner questioned him further with keen interest, the stranger evidently didn't know much, if anything, about his alleged occupation.

  • The police received a tip from a taxi-cab driver one day after the attack. This person mentioned he picked up a man from the Modesto airport on June 22, 1978 -- mere hours before the criminal attacked his victim(s). The driver said he dropped the man off at Sylvan and Coffee. However, on the drive to the location, which wasn't far away, they came across a vacant field near the destination. The passenger then said, This is good enough, and got out of the vehicle. The stranger then proceeded to walk towards the general direction where the crime occurred, which was only a half mile away. The taxi-cab driver said he was a white male possibly in his thirties. He wore all dark clothing and had neatly trimmed light brown hair, and was carrying a plaid cloth bag that included zippers.


This now concludes part eight of my series regarding The East Area Rapist. These series of attacks are interesting to me, because we are starting to see the criminal transition to other locales in California. Though this could be due to college or a new job, it also paints a sign of boredom, with the rapist seeking new places to explore and attack, possibly for a new heightened challenge.

Thank you all for reading. Part nine should be posted next week. The links below include previous entries and sources for my information.
