His capture is like finally pinning down Jack the Ripper or The Zodiac Killer—and alive to boot!

Sure love to hear how they finally it all together.

Assuming they have got the right person, this is good news. It provides a measure of justice for the victims and their families.

It seems like an unusual case in a number of respects. The number of sexual assaults committed greatly outnumbered the number of murders, and some attacks involved other crimes. He apparently was fired from his police job for petty theft. Then he apparently went dormant for almost 30 years. Perhaps law enforcement can learn something from his case.

It occurs to me that the era of very prolific predatory serial killers may have been encompassed only a few decades of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Human nature doesn’t change, and there are always some people with evil intent. Circumstances and technology do change.

The availability of automobiles and the changes in social mores in the 60s enabled solitary predators to roam and select vulnerable victims.

The development of information technology in the 1990s, including DNA analysis, ubiquitous video cameras, and electronic credit card records has made it difficult for predators to accumulate as many victims before they are caught.
