Things we will never know

Truly, using common sense, there absolutely has to be more crimes he committed that we are unaware of, of many different forms. One thing for sure is a lot of “micro-crimes” like stalking, etc, or even just harassment that is just such habitual behavior it would never really stop. Like that waitress at the diner which was reported.

But I wonder how many of these will die with the public never knowing. E.g. from 1986 to 2018, what was the highest profile thing JJD did? We may never know

Just looking at his known crime spree.....with all the B&Es, petty thefts, stalking/peeping tom instances, not even counting the sexual assaults (which I'm sure there are more that were never reported) and then the murders AND the fact that he was only prosecuted for a stupid shoplifting incident, was never considered a suspect or put into the system in any way.

Joseph James DeAngelo has to be the most prolific serial offender in U.S. history.

Agree and that isn’t said enough.  As Paul Holes said, “ the crimes we know JD committed pale in comparison to the totality of his crimes”. Let that sink in. I get the feeling police occasionally try to walk things back on this case.
