But less than an hour later, rangers discovered the decomposed remains of Cindy Moreland and Rick Stowers, about 200 yards from where they found O'Connell and May.

Both bodies were found lying face down in what appeared to be a shallow, very crudely dug grave. Bullet wounds were in both of the back of their heads. They had been in the woods for about seven weeks at this point. So they had undergone a lot of decomposition. And Cindy's remains had to be identified through dental records. That's always so sad. Yeah.

When they left Moreland's house on the day they went missing, neither Cindy nor Rick had said anything about going hiking. That's the problem. So when they were reported missing, they just never thought to look in the area of Mount Tam because no one knew they were hiking. Right. It was like a... It was just like a spontaneous thing. Now, the body count now is at seven. Jesus.

And the sheriff's office finally started, you know, we're like, you know what? I think there is one killer that's responsible for all these victims. It doesn't feel like... Just a coincidence. Right. Sheriff Al Hallenstein told reporters the two most recent victims may have been slain by the killer to draw attention to the earlier killings.

He said, we're looking, we believe, at an individual who has strong feelings about women. And he also said sometimes the slayer can control his feelings and other times he cannot. I could see that. When you think of it, like he killed Diane O'Connell and Shauna May. Just to draw attention because he left them right, he did it and left them right near where Rick and Cindy were. Right.

For him to do that just so that they, to be like, oh, you haven't found them yet. Right. So I'll just take two other people's lives. Like that is so fucking chilling. That line of thinking is just. That's so chilling.

And it's very him. Yeah. So the news that there was yet another serial killer, because remember, we're in that time period and in that place, that location, where serial killers were running a fucking muck around here. They were confusing the cases, confusing the victims. Like, they were overlapping. They were working in the same kind of areas. It was a wild time period.

I can't imagine being in this place in the United States at this time. Especially as a woman. I really can't imagine it. No. Horrifying. So just the news that there was yet another one of these assholes operating in the San Francisco area was met with a lot of justifiable fear and anxiety from residents.

Hauenstein said in a warning to the residents in the area, without question, this individual is capable of striking again, which must have been horrifying to hear.

He said he commits his acts in an effort to achieve psychological relief, but the murders will not satisfy him and the problem will get worse. And in the same statement, he released a sketch of the man they believe was responsible. And he was described as, quote, a clean-cut man in his late 20s or early 30s, dressed in hiking clothes with a knapsack on his back.
