Some of the cases being looked at as far as possibly related include the Jennifer Armour kidnapping/murder and the Donna Richmond kidnapping/murder, both of which occurred in Visalia. After JJD was arrested, another woman came forward and claimed that JJD kidnapped her while he was in uniform, transported her in his squad car, sexually assaulted her, and released her. All of these events occurred in Visalia, and as of yet, JJD hasn't been conclusively linked to any of them. Some of them have a few holdups that are still being ironed out.
As far as his escalation pattern goes, there were a lot of incidents that have been confirmed to JJD that clearly show that he continued to escalate after the Snelling murder. There were two attempts at entering a home while a woman was still inside, there were more targeted stalking patterns, and his peeping and prowling was increasing at an alarming rate. He may have committed a rape in Sacramento in October 1975, and in Visalia, his lack of success in committing any more known murders or any rapes is largely because the Visalia Police Department was out in force looking for him in a very small area. There were several weekends where he was out prowling and they were hot on his heels. It was during one of these nights that the McGowen incident occurred.

As far as the EARONS trying to kidnap anyone during the rape series, he took several of the early victims out of the home. In Attack #6 he took her outside, and in Attacks #8 and #9 he led them quite a ways away. In Attack #10 he again took the victim outside to the backyard like in Attack #6, and then the behavior tapered off significantly.
