Just a thought, I know it’s a long shot and a long ways off, but I think that once US census data is released from 1960 and 1970 respectfully it could have a big impact in helping solve this case. 1960 won’t be available until 2032 and 1970 ten years later in 2042, but I just feel like this data could reveal a potential name that we haven’t had any information on previously (such as a name from Darlene’s address book for example). I really hope we don’t have to wait 25 more years for this case to be solved, but this is something that has always been in the back of my mind.

Good post. Interesting too. I remember when some People were excited about the 1940 census being released for the same reason

Is census data not available? Didn’t know that was not released to public. What about DMV files? Are they available?
The census data is interesting as to how often it’s released. I used Ancestry.com to look at the 1930 and 1940 census for William Joseph Grant, the late CHP officer Lyndon Lafferty’s subject whom I find fascinating and I just can’t rule out as a suspect myself.
This is from the US Census Bureau that explains it better. I think you have to be in law enforcement to obtain DMV records, I am not sure what an ordinary citizen or even a PI can access.

I agree, naturally the more information we have the better of a shot there is to find the guy. Although even as it is, I’m constantly amazed how much information there is already. All these birth records, addresses, marriage and divorce data, some crime records… in my country you can’t get any of it unless you go to a local magistrate and specifically ask, and even then you probably cannot get it.
Personally I’d love to collect a series of phone directories from around the Vallejo area. Look up who all lived in geographically interesting addresses and see if there’s any connection.
