One incident apparently happened last Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning
around East 8th and S. Adams.  It is possible for both juveniles and adults
to be roaming all night long, on any day of the year.

I asked the Chief of Police if they had developed a psychological profile
of the purpetrator.  He said they were currently working on this, but
couldn't release info until it was finished.

I tend to think it is more likely to be a younger person, but I am also
certain that no age group or sociological segment of society has a monopoly
on cruelty and viciousness.  The killer could be an 70-year-old
grandfather, or a 35-year-old house wife.  Or a computer programmer,
lawyer, doctor, factory worker, professor, short-order cook, newspaper
reporter, etc.  There are individuals in each of those avocations who have
been convicted of greater and lesser crimes than these.
