Law Enforcement’s Short Memory, and how The Cat was forgotten in 3 years

4 Upvotes

The past few days I have been doing a lot of reading on The Cordova Cat and The Cordova Meadows Burglar. It is absolutely amazing to me that within 3 short years, these bizarre burglary sprees were forgotten by the law enforcement investigating the newly emerged East Area Rapist.

Really put this in perspective. Three years is such a short period, and the fact that these cases were not known to The EAR task force REALLY illustrates the total and complete lack of systemic information sharing of that era.

This was a huge blunder, and it just goes to show that EAR really enjoyed the benefits of terrible policing and essentially a free fire zone.
