Yep Hatfield, I agree, he is very brazened and seemed to be escalating rapidly for four months. I was unaware of an active serial killer in AZ until seeing it on the national news yesterday. Seems that he has gone dormant for over a month now. That, combined with the fact that he obviously has no preferred victim profile is very concerning. His victims seem to be arbitrarily targeted; wrong place and wrong time; randomly selected victims of opportunity. Where is he now? What could his motive be?
Awareness is the key. Glad a sketch has been shared. The American public is investigators most valuable resource. All possible info must be shared including a behavioral profile before more unsuspecting innocent lives are taken by this deviant psychopathic predator...
With the exception of having a preferred victim profile, THE SON OF SAM.-1976 prolific serial killer David Berkowitz, comes to mind, imo.
