Well obits are like that. They don't say she was a horrible mean shrew who constantly belittled her son, while favoring her daughters, or so and so was a nasty child molester who diddle his own children, as well as numerous neighbor kids.
Just saying.

Yes, the term is honed, and it stood out to me as well.

OT

Home vs hone

Home is appropriate in this instance.

http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/hone-vs-home

From the link:

The verb “hone” means “to sharpen or make more acute,” as in honing a talent. Alfred honed his negotiation skills to buy a new car at a very reasonable price. I hone my abs by doing 100 sit-ups a day.Generally, people drop it into sentences where they should use “home.”

In verb form, “home” (as in “to home in on”) means “to move or be aimed toward a destination or target with great accuracy.”

Missiles home in on targets.

The leftfielder homed in on the fly ball.

“Forget about the abs!” I said as I homed in on a mouth-watering candy bar.

As a simple rule of thumb, if you write the sentence and need the phrase “in on” after the verb, it’s most likely “home.”

If not, you probably need to use “hone.”

Can someone comment on how the East Area Rapist sketches came about? I was under the impression that none of the survivors saw his face during the attacks.

This sketch was the only time EAR's face was seen by the victim.

Left is of a man suspected to be the Ripon Court Shooter (where EAR shot a kid who chased him). The other two are of men suspected to be involved in Maggiore shooting

-Top left is of a guy who was seen leaving the area after an EAR attack. Suspected to be EAR.
-Top Middle is of a guy who was peeping at a woman through her window in an area where EAR was active. When a neighbor confronted him he ran away.
-Top right was made by cops on what EAR might look like, based on various victim descriptions.
-Bottom left is of a guy seen in the neighborhood before an attack
-Bottom middle is another version of the Ripon Court Shooter.
-Bottom right is another version of the Open Mask sketch, where EAR's face was seen by the victim.

1. the weapons should've been locked up if no one is home
..a. if the lock is broken--hey!--you know something is wrong
2. unless he hit near the time they got home, the owners should check the weapon
..a especially if the house was broken into
..for home defense, check the weapon--especially before going to sleep
3.if not locked, the weapons should be hidden--very hard to find -with trigger lock at least
4. these weapons are not cheap--why leave something like that laying around for some one to steal??
..I hide my valuables/etc when I leave--laptops especially
..this is basic security sense--which a lot of people don't have

a big problem with firearms is that they are stolen--easily!!
the big story of Kate Steinle murder--gun stolen from backpack in a car!!!!!!! this is ridiculous--insane
https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12...n-blm-gun-in-familys-suit-against-government/
the NY espaped prisoners got their weapon from an unoccupied home !!
I had one car accident in about 5 years...very rare--yes? the guy I ran into told me about his pistol being stolen!!
https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/guns-crime/reports/2017/07/25/436533/stolen-guns-america/

The problem with that logic is, for example, GSK would empty loaded guns that were hidden for self-defense in someone’s home. Iirc, in one instance, a man managed to get to his gun to find GSK unloaded it. He’d remove ammo from the home, but sometimes leave the guns. Terrifying stuff like that.

Why retroactively fault the victims for safety measures they took or didn’t take in a time when our laws were different and general beliefs on safety and use were unlike today’s?

This was a time when property crimes were just really becoming a “thing.” They skyrocketed during this time — most people grew up legitimately unconcerned about these types of crimes because they were relatively rare.

None of these crimes are their fault. It’s not that they didn’t do enough to protect themselves or were somehow irresponsible. In fact, GSK and his ilk ushered in a new era of home protection, including firearm ownership. It was encouraged and led by police.

Watch the GSK task force town hall footage from the area.

Depends on what he has that they don't know. A smart criminal will deal for better living conditions in prison

They like to compete with, and one up each other. Especially when they feel impotent, and inferior to others. This guy clearly has issues like that. It's the only way he feels potent. He can only really compete with his peerage. ( Cowardly rapist, and serial killers)

I just had a thought: If JJD had a smell about him that many victims mentioned, I would think his wife/family would also notice that smell from his body or clothes. If he drove, it would be difficult to eliminate that odor from his car. He didn't cycle or walk to each crime scene, did he? I have have this nagging feeling his wife suspected something, unless they lived separately.

If he used dog repellant spray while on duty, too, (which makes sense to me, imo — I’d never really thought about that before) it might not be too unusual if he came home smelling like it.

*IF* that’s what that smell was.

Seems like he lost weight over the years, from his early days as a cop to later when he had a mustache and a more “angular” look to his face. I wonder if he was using methamphetamine or illicit drugs, which sometimes can impact sweat odor. Also, sometimes high-stress/adrenaline-related sweat is more “pungent,” I’ve noticed.

Hmmmmmm. Thought-provoking post, Mamamerced. Thank you! [emoji848]🧐

It was GED match

https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04...ing-law-enforcement-in-east-area-rapist-case/

WOW! Great, innovative police work ❤️

From the link:

The bulk of the DNA grunt work investigators used to help capture the suspected Golden State Killer, the notorious rapist and killer who eluded law enforcement for four decades, came on a no-frills, “open-source” genealogy website that allows users to share their genetic profiles for free.

Lead investigator Paul Holes, a cold case expert and retired Contra Costa County District Attorney inspector, said his team’s biggest tool was GEDmatch, a Florida-based website that pools raw genetic profiles that people share publicly. No court order was needed to access that site’s large database of genetic blueprints. Other major private DNA ancestral sites said they were not approached by police for this case.

This was about a different person they started discussing towards the end of the article. Easy to miss. Reading online articles with ads constantly changing and various things emphasized in blue as clickable links drives me crazy! I love it when they have “reader view” available.

On a random note, shouldn’t the term be “honed” in rather than “homed” in?

It's homed. Honed should be used to mean sharpening something. Homed is to zero in on something. I always used to think of pigeons to keep the straight.

This is going to open up a huge can of worms for those types of sites.

Because I can guarantee they are afraid of losing business because the first thing I thought about when I heard the news was I was never ever going to use a site like that even if I have a desire to know my family history.

Agreed. Problem is that if your family had used it unknowingly to you and submitted DNA, that can link back to you. This is very similar to what just happened with Facebook. Even though you might not have wanted your friends to use your data..if they said to share friends data, yours was collected unknowingly to you. Facebook is getting all kinds of hell over this right now and within time there will be laws to regulate it.

The most amazing case I remember where someone tried to fool blood and DNA testing was the doctor that implanted someone else's blood inside a small vial in his own arm under the skin. They finally caught him when a smart nurse noticed the blood sample she drew didnt seem fresh enough. That and the persistence of one of the victims who knew what he did to her and didnt give up trying to prove it.

"John Schneeberger (born 1961) is a North Rhodesian-born former physician who drugged and raped one of his female patients and his stepdaughter while a physician in Canada. For years he evaded arrest by planting a fake blood sample inside his own body to confound DNA tests."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Schneeberger

Me too! That was so bizarre! I can’t remember which crime show I first saw it on and for the life of me I couldn’t figure it out until they revealed the fake blood insert.

I knew it. I called it. I said the other day when they arrested him- he got caught from an Ancestrydna test. Although they haven’t said it as that specific dna website (23&me denied it)- I would put money on it -that it was. Ancestry.com is the biggest. you’re agreeing to their terms when you sign up for it. You can deny medical dna testing by companies/drug companies. But you’re agreeing to other people using your Dna like LE. I knew it. Zodiac, LISK, and all the other killers out there better watch out. You can hide- but one day- 1 ancestry account is gonna get you caught. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/26/us/golden-state-killer.amp.html

Here is what scares me though...we are innocent, didn’t do anything wrong, however we walked by, through, in a crime scene before it happened and left trace DNA. Investigators find the trace DNA and use one of these sites to link it to one of my distant family members and then find me that way. Hopefully law enforcement would use other evidence, etc. to rule one out....BUT we’ve all seen what happens when LE gets tunnel vision.

It is my understanding, that DNA is only present in the root ball of a strand of hair. So having your hair cut for donation should not include DNA.

If I was related to a serial killer/rapist I'd want to know!

Sorry if it's been addressed but on Tuesday of this week before the big news broke I asked an associate why she thought EAR smelled so bad on at least two occasions. Was it the dog spray? Victims said it wasn't his breath as much as it seemed to pour out of his entire body. - - - ACD74

Unless he'd used enough dog deterrent spray at one time to almost knock himself out, I had a different thought about this smell.

Once, only once, in 30+ years of being a nurse, I had a patient who smelled so bad, it made me sick to enter his ICU cube. I bathed him as I could, as he'd had MULTIPLE cardiac arrests and fibrillations with the paddles applied and him brought back to a living heart rhythm about 10 times in the ER. Not at all a medically stable patient, IOW.

Well, what we know about patients with AMI ( heart attacks which are severe) is that severe perspiration is a key factor. This man was pouring sweat out of every pore. It was his sweat that smelled so foul. He was clean, but what was coming out his pores was absolutely making me sick.
Very nice man and I mean no disrespect to him or his memory at all.

What I was finally told by a cardiologist when I told the doctor that I was acutely aware of a very unusual smell emanating from the patient's perspiration was that it was the by- products of NICOTINE.

It didn't smell like cigarette smoke at all, but when I looked at the man's hands, I could see the discolorations on the fingers he held his cigarettes in. I've never been able to see that much staining on any other person's skin, so he must have had at least a carton a day habit, and probably non-filtered.

I have read that DeAngelo dropped MANY matches at crime scenes, and was also sometimes seen chewing on the plain wooden ends. Likely he was also a heavy smoker, and what could have been happening was that he was both smoking so heavily in his daily life and sweating so much at the scenes of his crimes that nicotine was being excreted through his perspiration as well.
I think I would be able to identify the smell again, it was that distinctive, but as I said, nothing like cigarette smoke or the tobacco from inside a cigarette. Horrible, almost like the man was burning from inside his body ( but he wasn't).

Food for thought, maybe?

His arraignment is 1:30pm Ca. time, 4:30pm ET-

Not a chance the cops would have been able to trace these to him if he paid cash. And it would have been easy to 'camouflage' his purchase by buying 5 other things along with the spray & hammer. (Candy bars, toilet paper, etc.)

The plain fact is, DeAngelo was a compulsive, chronic kleptomaniac. (On top of being a rapist, torturer, burglar and murderer.).

He couldn't help doing illegal and hurtful things. And he thought he was clever enough to 'get away' with it all. Oops, he figured wrong, as was shown by his getting busted & fired from his precious career as a cop.

 

[enelram]

I want to hear more about his childhood and what kind of horrible things were done to him, probably by his mother, maybe some by father.

Had a friend years ago who was married to a successful businessman whose mother used to tie him up to a tree while
she 'entertained' her men friends. My friend's husband was a wife beater and a serial marry-ier- always wanted a new
wife- had 5 or 6. Appeared to public as law abiding citizen. Behind closed doors he was an SOB. No father in his
young years.
