  • Releasing new recordings of EAR..

    I am currently working with detectives on releasing some additional EAR recordings on Arch's website. It is going to take a bit of time but this will be one of the new releases. Also seeing if I can release some additional writings (poems) no word for certain on the poems yet. Do have the go ahead on the recordings. g

    So they are not 100% certain they are from EAR. Well, OK. Why not release them anyway? If there is a CHANCE they are from the EAR, doesn't it make sense to release them and let the public hear them, in hopes that someone might recognize the voice, the words or phrases?

    The investigators have seen how the release of case information and the resulting publicity has actually impeded the investigation. It was an invitation to the Lunatic Fringe. I am dealing with this myself. The only leads that I receive now are of a very low quality. Movieman pointed this out in a post about the proper vetting of suspects. As such, I would not expect that investigators will be releasing any more case information in the future.

    I like how the Police are now back to complaining about all the crazy leads they get. Yet Arch goes on to say that his leads lately are all low quality. Which means that when the book came out they were higher quality. So then going public in the past has lead to better leads. What if the unabomber task force had sat on the manifesto? Would they of ever caught him? The police need to quit complaining about how hard it is to sort through the leads. That's the job. How many cases has America's Most Wanted solved by going public. Would Elizabeth Smart be planning her wedding if AMW was afraid of too many crappy leads from the lunatic fringe. How many garbage leads did they get before they solved that case. Yet John Walsh always makes a point of thanking the people who call in tips even though half of the people that call are nuts and 99% of the leads are garbage. The Police do not know who this guy is, but someone out there does. The only way to find that someone is to encourage people to call in tips and then sort through and rank the leads. The best way to get someone new to call in is to release new information and generate publicity.
    Well-said, Repoman. If I'd have spent thirty-five years on Plan A, I'd switch to Plan B before EAR/ONS is dead.

  • Agree

    I understand LE's time and money constraints/limitations. I also understand the other issues such as statute considerations in NorCal and the like that f1 has alluded to many times. But I have to say I agree with Repo, Conq, Sandia, akwilks, and Gasden. Isnt it time for someone to go for it already? Last time I checked my math May of 1986 was about 25 1/2 years ago and June of 1976 was 35 1/2 years ago. Its like watching that football coach that never goes for it on 4th down, always kicks the field goal or punts, always takes the conservative route. Those coaches are painful to watch and they play not to lose instead of going for the win. I have always said the key to this case is publicity and I will continue to say it. If EAR was 24 in 1976 then that would make him roughly 60 today. People who knew him that could turn him in are going to start dropping dead of old age. Someone in a position of power needs to take a bold step already...

  • Don't get me wrong

    I've always been the guy who would rather ask for forgiveness than permission. Got me in trouble a few times in my business life too. But I know how organizations work. And what happens to the pioneers especially in the public sector. You can spot 'em real easy. They're the ones with the arrows in their backs.
    BTW, the new police chief in Rancho Cordova was a Sac Sheriffs deputy for 20 years before taking her new gig. Before being a Sheriffs Deputy she was an EMT. I'm guessing she knows all about EAR.

  • Voiceprint Identification

    This technology, as an identification device, is superfluous in the presence of a DNA profile. Presumably, it could be used to confirm that multiple recordings belong to the same voice (as an authentication device). I wonder if Guessting is at liberty to share the dates of the authenticated communications. These dates may have bearing on demise hypotheses: Did ONS die of HIV-AIDS? As you all know, other demise hypotheses have been entertained.

  • Erratum

    Having reviewed all the foregoing posts on this thread, I now understand that this 'new' information will not be released after all. Although, as the flame war with CP has demonstrated, more information is not necessarily better than less information if the new information subtracts from the set of facts we know about the case--working from the assumption that one can only know what is true; there is no doubt that new information, regardless of quality, is likely to reinvigorate the case by raising its profile. False leads can yield knowledge. This is a desperate measure, I admit, but the trail couldn't be colder. I am mostly a spectator on this board as I haven't yet read Crompton's book. I do want you all to know that I read this board with great interest and am grateful to those of you that are working assiduously on this case in good faith with the right intentions. (Please note that I do not condone wantonly propagating wildly speculative or confabulated data--only data, which there is good reason to take seriously but cannot be verified once and for all).
