OR Portland, Oregon, which also fits.
There's not as much overlap in Oregon as in Arizona regarding the two maps. And, he would need a reason to be there (though he didn't have a reason to be in TX or NH). We have the arrest in 75 now to add to the 75/76 X-mas sighting by his family, putting more emphasis in that area. Plus he had familiarity there. Those are my reasons for thinking Arizona over Oregon.
Regarding Texas, I have a strong feeling his child's mother may have been disposed of there. He was still using his birth name as late as June of 78, and made the desperation call for money to friends in AZ at this time. It really seems like a tipping point in his life. The problem would be that this woman would have possibly been pregnant with the baby at this time and Terry would be inadequate of taking care of her for at least a couple years. I wonder if Terry killed her in late 79 early 80 and that's when he changed his name to Bob Evans and departed, with child, for New Hampshire? As we've seen with Lisa, he was capable of taking care of a young child. Also, I have to imagine by this time LE has been able to vet former tenants at the Casa Del Ray apartments and determine if he was living with a woman and if a baby entered the picture.
Of interest, the maximum date we have Terry in Texas is June of 78, and the minimum we have him in NH is for the writing the bad check on 12/21/79. It's also of note he stated his wife was "Elizabeth Evans" at this time.
His ability to get quickly in and out of relationships is interesting. My best guess is Elizabeth is the woman in the barrel meaning in just 3 years Terry had 3 different girlfriends. Again, this is just my opinion but here's what I believe may have happened.
1979 - Possibly killed the mother of his daughter and moved to NH and changed his name
1979/1980 met Elizabeth w/ her two daughters using some sort of sob story regarding his daughters birth mother. He would use sob stories later with Lisa
1980/1981 he kills Elizabeth, her daughters and his own daughter
1981 he meets Denise
What's scary is that if he was
this active in these 3 years what did he do those 3 years between leaving with Denise in Nov of 81 to being hired as Curtis Mayo in March of 84? Did he actually have a lengthy relationship with Denise (3 years)? Perhaps. Sorry for jumping around, but I feel like Terry's time as a mystery is coming to an end.
