Bonnie 12/1976 - 9/1978 Stalking and Rape

[almagata]

I'm going to post this article here since I believe it has so many of the hallmarks of EAR with the stalking despite the difference in description.  I did contact the original author at the Bee (yes, he was still working their) and he could not recall the case which surprised me a bit.

It looks like it's EAR2 this time, the heavier, taller one. House being prepared for sale, Dentist connection, untraceable calls, killed the dog, communications written on the wall/windows, nothing stolen of value, bracelet and photo's taken, Christmas time.

Maybe the regular, almost weekly rapes from what's known as the EAR phase made it harder for the reporter to single this one out if he reported on the others.
What an interesting choice of substituted names for the victims. Makes you wonder if this story had run in another newspaper and maybe the reported used the same names substituted in that report. Just a thought.

Good find AG.

There was a dentist who offered cheap dentistry at affordable prices in Sac.I was told about it a few years ago. It was all the rage in CA at the time. Lots of more expensive dentists must have been browned off about it. I'll try and link it to something.

This reporter was a young pup at that time of the EAR attacks.  Are you suggesting that the Bee reporter was not the original author and the attack did not occur at all or did not occur in Sacramento ?  When you look at newspaper archives it is very obvious that the same story is run in papers across the county but they typically are Associated Press stories. 

[Mr Hood]

I was suggesting the substituted names are maybe a little too coincidental to be chance. I think it happened, I think it was Sac. I know where I'm going with it but it's hard to explain. The original rape was 1976? and then the article you quote was 1978, this gap might be part of the mystery.

You know I'm a simple girl, so I put things in simple terms for my little mind.

This article and the response by the reporter, when I emailed him, I found very curious. EAR in Sacramento was a big deal and to have an case like this that spanned pretty much the same time period that EAR was attacking in Sac and then have the reporter NOT remember the case\article, I thought was improbable.

Here are his exact words:
"Can't help you. I don't remember the story one bit. Been too many years, too many stories...
Good luck."

I also agree with you that using "Bonnie" as the girls name is also curious given that some of the victims thought that they heard "Bonnie" or "Mommy" uttered by EAR during the attacks.

So what do you think the Sac Bee was really trying to communicate by publishing the story and to who?

[Mr Hood]

There's a puzzle here, I can feel it in my water

[Mr Hood]

I wonder if he called her 'Bonnie' because she had the surname Parker. Which might account for where she was left after the rape, dropped off on Mack road.




Interesting connection to Bella/Beller too.

As in a Mack the Knife reference?

The Threepenny Opera[edit]

A moritat (from mori meaning "deadly" and tat meaning "deed") is a medieval version of the murder ballad performed by strolling minstrels. In The Threepenny Opera, the moritat singer with his street organ introduces and closes the drama with the tale of the deadly Mackie Messer, or Mack the Knife, a character based on the dashing highwayman Macheath in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera (who was in turn based on the historical thief Jack Sheppard). The Brecht-Weill version of the character was far more cruel and sinister, and has been transformed into a modern anti-hero.

1976 Manheim-Willett extension ("Moritat")[edit]

In 1976, a brand new interpretation of "Mack The Knife" by Ralph Manheim and John Willett opened on Broadway, later made into a movie version starring Raúl Juliá as "Mackie". This version, simply known as "Moritat", is an extension of the story with completely new lyrics that expound upon the tales of Macheath's trail of activity. Here is an excerpt:

See the shark with teeth like razors

All can read his open face

And Macheath has got a knife, but

Not in such an obvious place.
