The October of 1998 in North Dakota was the start of a string of murders. The victims were women of ages ranging between 22 and 29, with petite frames, blond hair, and fair skin. Most of the women were regulars at local bars and were known to be of the wanton sort. The suspect’s profile can be built based on the crime scenes.
Family Background
The suspect may have targeted women of this specific appearance (22-29-years-old, petite, blond hair, and fair skin) because of their resemblance to a woman in the suspect’s past. The evidence suggests that this women may have been the suspect’s mother as there was no evidence of sexual trauma.

Location
Bodies were found within 2.5 miles of the bank of a river in North Dakota, around 10 miles away from the most local town. The women were found at random secluded locations after being picked up from bars. Most were regular patrons of the bars, recognizable by the bar staff. The suspect must be a local who is also a regular of the bars, regular enough to know which women were promiscuous. This also backs up the idea that the suspect was a local fisherman who was aware the area was secluded and had access to a boat that allowed him to reach the river bank without leaving tire tracks.
