This profile was written by John Douglas of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit.
"The following psychological profile was prepared by SA John E. Douglas of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. This profile is based upon the personal research conducted by SA Douglas and other members of the BSU. It should be noted that this profile is based upon certain "probabilities" and suspects developed by your department may fit this profile in part or whole.
Noting the personal background of each of these victims, they all could be categorized as a "high risk" to be the recipient of a violent crime. Victim Dana Wingate, however, appears to fit a prior pattern of behavior that could very definitely lead him down a self-destructive path. His previous antisocial acts, which stem from a poor family upbringing, were such that his only associates would in all probability be very much like himself. He is a diabetic and is known to have tortured animals. In all probability, Wingate had a poor self-image and was involved in criminal offenses that may have not been known by police agencies. WIngate in all probability involved himself in criminal offenses to include burglary and arson.
The crime scene reflects that the offender responsible for these murders exhibited great control if he, in fact, acted alone. The crime scene reflects that he did not precisely plan on killing all the victims. With exception of a .177-caliber pellet recovered at the crime scene, all of the 'weapons' appear to have come from the residence of the victims (i.e., steak knife, hammer, etc.). This indicates that killing the victims was in all probability an afterthought.
In order for the subject to gain and maintain control of the victims, he would have had to have some assistance. It appears that victim Dana Wingate was not killed in the same fashion as the other two victims (beaten but not stabbed) and was made comfortable by receiving a cushion from the couch to rest his head on prior to his execution. Wingate may have been utilized to assist in the binding of the victims. Statements made by associates support that he would probably succumb if threatened rather than strike back at an assailant.
Blood is observed on the feet of Glenna Sharp to indicate she was alive when she walked in a pool of blood. This profiler does not know at this writing whose blood was on the feet of Glenna Sharp, noting that this information could modify this profile.
According to investigative reports, Glenna Sharp was covered with a blanket after she was killed. This blanket came from her bed. This one act on the part of this offender(s) is probably the key as to who is responsible for the murders in part or whole.
This terrible homicide appears to be without any motive. Neither sex nor money was the motivating factor. The crime scene reflects anger and rage on one hand and remorse and guilt on the other. It appears at this point that there is more than one murderer involved in this triple homicide.
The offender responsible for this triple homicide did not initially plan on killing. It was an afterthought as evidenced by the weapons he selected. All weapons could be referred to as weapons of opportunity. This offender knew his victims, particularly John and Glenna Sharp.
This offender was motivated by his commitment and love for Tina Sharp. He loves her like a father. In all probability, Tina Sharp was planning on running away with him.
It was Tina Sharp who probably went to her mother's bedroom after she was killed, got a blanket from her bed, and covered her mother with same. Tina Sharp, at 12 years of age, may have had conflicts with her mother like many pre-adolescent girls at that age. However, since the homicide, she has probably demonstrated a great deal of remorse and guilt. Her feelings will be in direct conflict with her abductor and may lead to her own death if her abductor feels that she may go to the police.
If Tina Sharp is still alive, she will find that she will become increasingly depressed on significant anniversary and holiday dates (ie mother's birthday, her own birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas). Her depression will cause her to seek out her father as well as the gravesite of her mother and brother. It should be noted here that information received by the BSU is that the father had an alibi at the time of the homicides and therefore is not a suspect. Tina Sharp may have already attempted to locate her mother's place of burial and may have visited the burial site.
This offender demonstrated control and confidence and therefore he is not a juvenile nor is he free of any prior police record. He is fixated on young females and has been involved with them in the past, be it for sex or for personal profit (ie child pornography).
Your investigation should direct itself in saturating Sacramento and the San Francisco areas with local media accounts of this crime in hopes that Tina Sharp, if still alive, will see one of these articles. The articles should reflect sorrow for the victim, particularly Tina's mother, who was recently divorced and struggling to raise her children.
These articles must be timely. They should appear at times (dates) which are significant. The articles should set forth data relative to the burial location of her mother and the exact location and address of her father. The victim will in all probability be drawn to the cemetery and/or attempt to get in contact with her father.
As stated earlier, Tina Sharp's age works to the advantage of the investigator if tactics are utilized (media) to remind her of this crime and her surviving family members. However, her age will also work against her if her abductor feels he no longer has control over her and feels that she may go on the run and go to authorities.
