I found evidence of a purse snatcher in the area from late 1968. Importantly, one of the victims had the same street address as Denise. Equally importantly, I don't know if the victim of the purse snatching and Denise had the same UNIT number in the apartment building but I can't see why it's not possible. Also, I don't see why it's not possible for the purse snatching to award the thief keys to the apartment. That's one of many questions I have that I hope websleuths can help with when it comes to this cold case.
Also, I think Joseph James DeAngelo was in the Sacramento area at both the time of the purse snatching and at the time of Denise's disappearance. Importantly, the purse snatching was of a serial nature according to the journalism at the time. It could be that Joseph James DeAngelo's pre-Visalia Ransacker days were spent snatching purses in Sacramento when he was a student.
