Perhaps if Chief Reyes got smart and decided to use the finger prints lifted from the apartment at #74 La Palme and cross referenced them with fugitive warrants from his database for a female that has skipped out on numerous crimes in the area without showing up for court, then look at the DMV for her photo, he would find out that only one woman is all of those women...Lori.
Her mother has a set of fingerprints that she can get from the military in 29 Palms for matching or you can just get them from the Morongo Sheriff...Jessica Christine Ek is the name she likely used here.
I'm surprised that Chief Reyes hasn't done anything yet to catch his nightmare rapist yet, but he's not the brightest guy in the universe. Do some detecting Chief. Look smarter than this.
