Victimology
The limited victim background data available for the construction of this analysis did not indicate that any of the victims of this series of homicides could be considered to have been and particularly high risk for potential violent criminalization. Although all victims were apparently engaged in activities that might be considered risky, i.e. sexual activity at known "lover's lanes" or camp grounds during hours of darkness, the demographics of the surrounding area as well as the absence of information suggesting that these areas are considered high-crime areas, would suggest that these victims could be considered low-risk. As low-risk victims, it is not likely that they were particularly targeted for assault by the offender, but were simply victims of opportunity who were randomly available to him at the time and place he chose to engage in his assaults.

It is not probable that the offender knew or was personally acquainted w/ any of the victims. Rather, they were strangers to him and became victims simply b/c they were available to him when he chose the site for his attacks.

M.E. report
The autopsy reports for these eight incidents indicate that the assailant, in all but three cases, resorted to multiple attacks on his victims, using a firearm and at least one bladed weapon. The female victims of incidents #1 and #6 escaped post-mortem mutilation for varying reasons:

• The presence of a child in the victims vehicle in incident #1 may have inhibited the assailant and the fact that the victims of one incident were able to flee the immediate assault site precluded the offender from following through w/ his typical mutilation. Incident #6 involves a homosexual couple, and will be addressed in later portions of this report.
• It is significant to report that the assailant used multiple weapons in virtually all his attacks, and that his use of a knife, scalpel or other bladed instrument involved stabbing, slashing, as well as the cutting away of many of his female victim's breasts and vaginal/pubic areas. The significance of the nature, pattern and distribution of these injuries will be fully addressed in subsequent portions of this analysis.

As a result of the unavailability of other forensic reports (toxicology/serology), no further comment can be made regarding these areas. It is noted that none of the victims bear evidence of sexual penetration by the assailant.
