As to the suspect’s slack jawed, frail appearance yesterday in court:
“Paul Holes, the newly retired Contra Costa County investigator who chased the East Area Rapist for 24 years and was part of the team that watched DeAngelo in recent weeks, questioned DeAngelo’s frail court appearance.“No, no, no, no,” Holes said. “This guy was moving around like a young 50-year-old. He was riding his motorcycle, bombing down the freeway at over 100 miles per hour. Stop signs are optional for this guy.””
