JJD tactics used during EAR series

Because he was driven on by his sexual drive much like a drug addict he was a slave to his addiction.

I believe you mean Del Rey Ct, rather than El Reye Ct - just in case people want to look it up on the map.  Del Rey Ct. is off Las Casas Way, to the west of Paseo Drive in Rancho Cordova.

That's a good point but in fact there were lots of barking dogs JJD also would avoid large dogs or more accurately adult large breed dogs. The not so rare times when LE got close to JJD while prowling the neighborhood dogs were used in some make shift warning system when combined with the sounds of fence jumping. I have experienced this very thing on prowling suspect calls when I worked patrol you can heard suspect movement but at times in the dark finding them without air support or a canine is very difficult. One thing that happens is neighborhood dogs hear each other barking and start barking themselves not necessarily because of an intruder but because they hear the other dogs. Another factor outside dogs so often people stop hearing that live there or they call their dogs inside without really knowing what the dogs were barking at. There is the most important part of this tactic is JJD was prolific at prowling in both daytime and night, JJD learned where the dogs were just like how he would prowl the victim's home and their neighbors. JJD also learned the value of dog repellant Mace or OS gas) a dog only needs one time of being sprayed perhaps from the other side of a fence through the gaps in the boards.  The dog repellant also stopped the tracking dogs from being as effective the dogs don't want to exhale it more than once. I had an insider once tell me and let me say firstly I have no way to prove or disprove it that Patrol officers stated in one of the close calls for JJD the smell of Mace was detected in the ivy but it was dismissed at that time. 

There was another tactic related to the above that I believe JJD used were "safe yards" where there were no dogs and even some that were vacant for being sold. The "safe yards" would also be near the "open fields" with an escape vehicle would be parked. There is a great example of this on an attack (not sure what number it was in Citrus Heights) where JJD used the Country club (Golf Course) to flee the attack and get out of the perimeter in the event LE was able to set up after an attack. JJD used what I call the "two Courts over tactic" he would prowl and use the grid system of the neighborhood design to cross fence lines. The best way to explain this is when he would flee he would climb the first fence out of the victim's yard and put him in the backyard of a house on a Court street (Cul de sac) he would then cross the street and enter the across the street neighbors back and once again climbing that fence leading to an escape vehicle.

Another interesting thing is how EAR was using several different type of tactics when most offenders of this type stick to the plan if it worked once they did it again and again. The reason is now explained by JJD attending a burglary Investigations school and training but at the time it allowed him to avoid detection. JJD was a great "restarter" meaning he was able to reset himself and take himself back to the start of a sexual predator's evolution. The example of course is he had already killed in the VR series but returned to prowling as the Rancho Cat and EAR. This was exactly why it took DNA to prove one man was responsible for all of the series of crimes.

I'm still older than you and I don't even try to remembering shit. I take and read notes.

I just noticed something (not really the correct thread) JJD's second child was born in Los Angles. It is out of order with the known family timeline. The Citrus Heights home was purchased in 1980 and Sharon was an attorney in 1982 and the second child was born in LA in 1986. Why were they in LA then?
