Franky, he was only charged with three murders enough to put him away for life.  District Attorney office did well aware of his activities on November 1979, and my principal also did well aware of his activities. Officially, the investigation started in 1982, and the Anchorage Police Department had enough evidence against him in July 84, ultimately arrested in Sept. 84.  

Frankly, in Fairbanks, Alaska around middle 70's, the Fairbanks Police were hot on him, unfortunately, moved to Anchorage and continued his activities.

Unfortunately, most of his victims were involved with illegal activities, and that was major issue why the people who knew his activities didn't report him to proper authorities.

He had reputation in the streets that anyone who mentions his name would disappear.  The natives in Fairbanks, and Anchorage were afraid to mention his name at all.

Well, that is in the history, now.  

The lesson learned from this experience can benefit other homicide detectives.
