In 1996 Orange County had an estimated 1000 unsolved murders. By May of 1996, the database had approximately 240 murder cases. A variety of reports had been prepared for the investigators to review. A report of females murdered by blunt force to the head resulted in a list of 33 cases. The report included solved and unsolved cases. Twenty of those cases occurred in homes or apartments. One case had resulted in the conviction of Kevin Green for the murder of his unborn daughter and the assault of his wife.
The inability of officers to link murders or missing persons to the same offender is referred to as “linkage blindness” (Egger, 1984, 1990). Specifically, linkage blindness occurs when police administrators and investigators refuse to admit or do not know that a serial killer is operating. The reason for this blindness has been attributed to officers not recognizing the characteristics of a serial victim, and more importantly, not having the ability to track murders in a central repository of information.
