I spent a horrific time today reading about serial killers, specifically Richard Marc Evonitz, who is known to have killed three girls in Virginia in 1996 and 1997. His undoing came when a victim in South Carolina escaped. (I've mentioned him here before.)
(If my husband should ever peek at my search history, collection of screenshots, and bookmarked items, he will so totally start looking at me side-eyed.)
I have a lot to parallels to draw between Evonitz and JDW. To start, the women's undies that investigators found at JDW's place. Investigators found a similar stash at Evonitz's. (He kept a footlocker of trophies, lists, notes, newspaper clippings, videos, and undies.) Here's more from a newspaper article:
The footlocker also contained pornographic tapes and many pairs of female underwear, all sizes, from infant to adult.
Police were puzzled by the underwear. They could not determine if it had been stolen or purchased. None of it contained telling DNA evidence.
Police also were puzzled to find holes cut in the crotch of many of the pieces. Later, when examining Evonitz's pornographic tape collection, they found out why. Deep within some of the tapes were scenes that Evonitz recorded. They were scenes of him, wearing the underwear and pleasuring himself.

Cue the "eww"s.
