I think the Star Trek thing is interesting, but I don't believe it to be the case either. Figuring out how he got those names would be interesting. LE seems to believe he stole peoples' identities, they haven't given the reason why but I would guess they have reason to suspect that. So how did he meet them or know them or cross paths with them? Unfortunately, it appears in the 70's when a non-custodial parent abducted a child the legal system pretty much looked the other way. It wasn't until the 80's that law enforcement really started investigating these issues. Also, when adults disappeared it was just assumed they had left of their own accord and that's just how it was. People didn't need social security numbers to work, and library cards were acceptable forms of identification, so changing identities was very easy. This time we have a person who literally lied about everything. I'm not even convinced he was Danish. I'm going to guess he was from the east coast because the officer in CA noticed the accent. We know his method of killing was blunt force trauma to the head and that he typically wrapped his victims in electrical cord. He targeted single mothers with either very young children or pregnant. He was an alcoholic and a heavy drinker. His daughter was Native American. At some point a woman calling herself "Elizabeth" signed for his mail and he put her down as a contact for the police.
That's an excellent recap, thanks!
