I'm the author of the book Case Files of the East Area Rapist / Golden State Killer: https://www.amazon.com/Files-Rapist-Golden-State-Killer/dp/0999458108/
Thank her for what? She didn't do anything other than write a book on the case that was filled with info that's been around for years.
There are also other people that wrote books about the case much better than she did, two of them being detectives that worked on the case:
Michelle McNamara had nothing to do with solving the case, yet for some strange reason certain people seem to think that it wouldn't have been solved without her. Or course that's just ridiculous because she had nothing to do with investigating or solving it. But now I almost can't read any article about earons with out her name being mentioned even though she had nothing to do with the case.
The only people that deserve a thank you in this case are the police that finally solved it.
There have been plenty of good suspects, but they were ruled out through various means. At the time, many suspects were ruled out due to secretor statuses. Now, law enforcement has been going back looking for those ruled out in that manner to re-check them, since it was faulty back then. That may or may not be a huge deciding factor in this case. Sadly, Sacramento tossed a lot of the evidence they had -- even a list of possible suspects -- when the statute of limitations expired for the sexual assault crimes. This was done long before EAR was connected to ONS. It was still premature, though, considering the wide array of officials believing he was behind the Maggiore killings in Rancho Cordova in 1978. Nevertheless, things are looking up for this case. There are certain POIs being looked at heavily; some have been phoned in by the public, sleuths, and others.
If you have any more questions regarding the case, I'd be glad to help answer them if I can. You can also check out my friend's website, http://www.coldcase-earons.com/
She also has a book in the case, which is the most accurate, up-to-date book on the market right now. https://www.amazon.com/Files-Rapist-Golden-State-Killer/dp/0999458108/
It is called "Case Files of the East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer."

Think your best bet would be a book like this one-
Case Files of the East Area Rapist / Golden State Killer https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999458108/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IWFYAbFA2VHT9
The recent 40th anniversary press release by investigators would probably be the next best.
I haven't read it myself, but I've heard that Kat Winters' book is extremely detailed. https://www.amazon.com/Files-Rapist-Golden-State-Killer/dp/0999458108
It's from Kat Winter's (who posts on reddit, /u/winters_vw), Case Files of the East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer it might be new information. She'll definitely know more about accents and if any others were used (hence why I tagged her).
I didn't hear an accent in any of the calls though, you're right about that.
With regards to the dog, there's some speculation that he "borrowed" the dog (a woman reported that someone had apparently been taking her dog out at night without her permission) or that it was a local dog that came over to investigate what EAR/ONS was up to, and so thus wasn't actually his dog.
These are Winters' two books:

I just saw this post, so you may have already found the info, but for any of our new members:
-My understanding is that the best single source in print is Kat Winter's book Case Files of the East Area Rapist / Golden State Killer, as it apparently has a number of pages devoted specifically to the VR.
-The best source in audio is the "12-26-75" podcast at 12-26-75.com.
-The best online webpage is the Podcast VR Google map, which features Google map push pins showing the sites of incidents with very, very brief descriptions of said events.
-There is no sufficient VR-themed stuff available through the video medium, although 12-26-75 does in fact have a YouTube channel, for what it's worth...
So, in summary, you should probably stick with Winters for the most info.
