According to the article I posted above, the incident which he was arrested was near some of the other victims unsolved murder scenes.

That I think of it, I may add this guy's residence & work location to see where he is geographically situated to the crime scenes. Whether (or not) he is involved in these cases, from my read, he definitely was up to no good.

Not saying he is the serial killer but the map sure does give an easy route back and forth from the other unsolved cases too. Reminds me of Aileen Wournos back and forth travels.

"DAYTONA BEACH — Talk around the city that a former cop is the serial killer behind the unsolved murders of three women is not farfetched, a Daytona Beach police captain said Tuesday."

This is an older article that mentions one of the theories of LE that it could be a former cop behind the killings. This theory is very important as we now have a doctor arrested for impersonating a police officer. If he played his role well; then the theory of a former cop goes hand in hand with a fake cop.

Nice map! I think you will find the proximity pretty chilling, (though it could be a coincidence). I've always had the idea it was someone self-employed that worked right on Ridgewood.
-----------------------------------
Also, I would like to clarify that the sketch (the one that looks very much like Ecklind) is from an unrelated (as far as we know) sexual assault case, not that of the serial killer. The face of the killer is still unknown.

I will be waiting on this DNA test! Wow!

He still has to explain a lot away even if the DNA doesn't come back a match to the other victims. He may have an excellent Attorney, but I don't see how he will be able to weasle out of the other charges.
 
Ecklind’s DNA is currently being tested for a match with the serial killer’s. Curiously, he was asked to give the sample two months before, when Daytona Police stopped him on the night of March 31 for an unknown reason. While police won’t say why Ecklind was stopped, local news reported in February that police were collecting DNA during sex stings in an effort to find the serial killer.
The most tantalizing connection between Ecklind and the murders is, eerily enough, his health care work with the elderly.
He’s associated with or on the staff of several Daytona Beach skilled nursing facilities, or nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
Iwana Patton, 35, was the serial killer’s third victim. She was found shot to death on February 24, 2006. Patton worked as a nurse’s aid at an assisted living facility where Ecklind allegedly had patients.
And Patton’s body was found less than a mile from Indigo Manor, a nursing home where Ecklind says on his website he’s an associate medical director.
Her car was eventually found parked behind a speech rehabilitation center. Police speculated she’d made plans with the killer to meet there.
Stacey Gage, 30, was the killer’s fourth victim. She went out to get a bag of ice at 7-Eleven and vanished. The single mother was trying to beat a longtime cocaine problem, and her family thought she’d relapsed. Three weeks later her body was found near an abandoned church.
As evidence that Gage was getting her life together, family members mentioned that she'd been living with and taking care of her disabled 77-year-old grandmother.
Daytona Police will likely announce soon whether or not Jerrold Ecklind’s DNA is a match.
Ecklind may not be the man, but the killer is probably someone a lot like him.
Superficially unassuming, underneath there lurks an obsession with power and control, and probably some self-anointed fantasy that, despite his patronizing of them, prostitutes are garbage only he can sweep out.

I would certainly like to hear his explanations for the fact that he never stayed in one place for over a year or two... Was he that hinky back when he was trying to get his D.O.?

His employment record is also extremely unusual for a physician. I would like to hear THEIR side of why he left each of the companies/ corporations listed on his CV.

His entire CV looks like a freaking spree serial killer from the get go. Remember the dentist who killed Dolly Hearn, then his wife Jennifer? Barry Corbin.. it took YEARS between his first kill of beautiful Dolly to his second murder of Jennifer for Dolly's case to even be considered to be a MURDER. Her poor family was told she committed suicide one day before she received her degree in Dentistry with honors.
I think we have another Barry Corbin, probably much worse.

What an incredibly well written, well thought out piece. I hope she's right so LE can bring closure to the families of the victims and close that particular chapter for the women who are being preyed upon.
 
(WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- An Ormond Beach doctor has been charged with impersonating a police officer and numerous other charges.
Dr. Jerrold Ecklind, an Ormond Beach osteopathic surgeon, has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, false imprisonment, and falsely personating an officer.
He faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
Officers arrested Ecklind April 27th in Daytona Beach. They say he had two loaded guns inside his Mustang, another loaded gun in his holster and a prostitute in his car.
Officers say Ecklind told her he was an undercover officer.
He will be arraigned by the end of the month.

I remember that case - I read the book. His name was Bart Corbin. Very good book.
 
For the second time in a few months, an Ormond Beach doctor is behind bars.

Doctor Jerrold Ecklind had been out on bond since his arrest back in April. Friday he was out on bond again.

In the latest incident, police say he abused some of the stuff he prescribed to his patients.

On Wednesday, Officers in Daytona Beach witnessed Ecklind driving erratically near the intersection of Clyde Morris and Bill France Boulevards.

Police said he swerved completely off the road, and then got back on, accelerating up to 65 miles per hour in a 45 zone.

When police pulled him over, Ecklind stumbled out, wearing his boots were on the wrong feet. Officers say Ecklind’s eyes looked glassy.

They gave him field sobriety tests, but he failed every one.

So officers took him back to the station where he passed a breathalyzer test. He blew a .00.

A Daytona Beach police department drug expert looked him over, and then arrested him.

When they searched him, officers found 14 Xanaz pills hidden in a flashlight holder and 22 pills of Morphine hidden in an eyeglass case.

All the folks living in his Ormond Beach neighborhood could do was shake their heads and say not again.

“You know when you’re a physician its one thing,” said Tom Underwood. “When you’re working for a company and you find out something and you get fired but if he loses his license to practice medicine he really is up a creek with no paddle.”

Ecklind was arrested back in April and charged with impersonating a police officer.

In that incident a woman and man were involved in some sort of argument when investigators say Ecklind stepped in and said he was a police officer.

Investigators say Ecklind convinced the woman to get in his car, and told her he would take her to the police department. That's when the woman says things got weird. "He handed me the handcuff and says… says put them on and put my seatbelt on. He drove me around Dun Avenue toward jail I'm hysterically crying. He tells me I'm going to jail, and starts asking me all these questions."

At that point, the woman didn't realize Ecklind wasn't a real cop. Fortunately, the man she had been arguing with took Ecklind's license plate number and called 911.

About 45 minutes later, police found Ecklind and the woman a few blocks away from where the incident happened. Investigators say Ecklind had three loaded guns in his possession at the time of the arrest.

He was charged with aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and impersonating an officer during that incident.

Underwood said since the first arrest in April, Ecklinds laid low.

“I’ve never seen him and as much as I walk by his house and I walk by his house four times a day six times a week,” he said. “You’d think he’d be in the front house or in the garage or putting around, but I’ve never seen him.”


The state department of Health said they’re looking into the criminal investigation to decide whether to suspend Ecklind’s practice.
 
Yes, please look into Doctor Ecklind's criminal investigation and suspend his practice, please.:rolleyes:

He should have impersonated an Officer again and locked his own kooked self up. Nutter.
 
Do they still suspect the Dr. of being the serial killer? He looks so much like the sketch.
