PREFACE
I want to say how sorry I am for the family members who lost their loved ones. I hope this book sheds some light on the whereabouts of the perpetrator. Someone knows this guy. By describing some of his behaviors, he could be identified and finally brought to justice.
DEDICATION
I dedicate this book to Detective Larry Crompton, author of Sudden Terror, and Inspectors Richard Shelby and Russ Oase for their tenacious, continuing search for the East Area Rapist (EAR). I also want to thank my good friends Rachel Henry, Mary Vaughn, and Dede Dunn for their editing skills and great advice. Lastly, I want to thank my sons, Charles and Paul, and my husband, Warren, for their love and support.
CHAPTER 1
MORNING OF FEAR AND TERROR
It was about six thirty in the morning when my husband, Bill, left for work and my three-year-old son, Paul, climbed into bed with me. I heard the garage door close and then saw a light flashing down the hall. My first thoughts were, What has Bill forgotten? Why the light? Why is he running? My questions were answered immediately when I looked up and saw a ski-masked man with a large butcher knife shining a light in my face. I started to scream while the intruder put his knife to my chest, making some small cuts in my skin. Then, in a muffled voice, through clenched teeth, he said, Shut up, or I will kill you! I just want your money.
Okay, I thought, maybe he just wants to rob me and be out of here. I knew he was lying about just wanting money when his next step was to tightly tie both our hands and feet with shoelaces, gagging my son and me with cloths, and also blindfolding us. Paralyzed with fear, I felt my heart racing so fast that I thought it would explode straight through my chest. Here we were, completely defenseless, completely vulnerable, and utterly terrified. My precious son, Paul, was lying next to me. What was the intruder going to do next? Was he going to rape me or maybe kill us? I did not have the strength or opportunity to overcome him. He had the power, and he had the control. We were at his mercy, totally his victims with no way to defend ourselves. Before tying us, he ripped sheets in a quiet, ritualistic manner. Why was he so quiet? What was he thinking? What was he planning? I heard him rummaging through my dresser drawers. He would leave the room and then return. What was this SOB after? What did he want from us? These questions were soon answered. As he started untying my feet, I knew he was after more than money. Before he got on top of me, I slid over to touch Paul, but he was gone.
Oh my God! What has he done with my son? Where is Paul? Has the intruder hurt him too? Is Paul still alive? I thought maybe Paul was moved back to his bedroom so the rapist would have more room to maneuver on the bed while he raped me.

When I tried to speak through my gagged mouth, the rapist again repeated, Shut up, or I will kill you.
Due to my overwhelming fear and state of shock, I do not remember much about the rape. I do not recall if he climaxed, but I do remember that he
