One of these men could be the EAR/ONS. The above composites were the enhanced sketches released on 4/16/78. The last EAR attack in the Sacramento Area occurred on 4/14/78. The EAR never committed another rape in the Sacramento Area after the release of these composite sketches.

The above composites were originally published in the Sacramento Bee on 2/16/78. A pair of shoelaces found at the crime scene and the location of the attack (down the street from Paseo Drive) led some Investigators to speculate that one of these men is the EAR/ONS. The composite sketch on the right is most likely of the East Area Rapist. The person matching the composite sketch on the left had reportedly been identified.
