MURDER INC EXCLUSIVE: Did the East Area Rapist kidnap 12 year old Lisa Dickinson one day before striking in Walnut Creek?





In the early morning hours of September 4 1976 a knife wielding burglar rapist struck in the South Area of Sacramento. Later that night at 11 pm the East Area Rapist would hit in Carmichael in what is considered attack #4. The first assault in the South Area was not attributed to the EAR…until now.

September 5 1976 at 7:00 pm Lisa Dickinson was last seen in Walnut Creek. Lisa’s home was three blocks north of two June 1979 EAR attacks. The Ygnacio Canal Trail runs behind Lisa’s home, the two houses the EAR hit and the 1966 Clara Anderson murder.

On September 6 1976, the night after Lisa Dickinson vanished, a woman on Creekside Drive in Walnut Creek awoke to a man holding a knife to her throat. “Keep quiet and you won’t get hurt” The rapist was described as medium height in his early 20s. Did the EAR hit twice in Sacrament on 9/4/76, kidnap Lisa Dickinson on 9/5/76 and strike in Walnut Creek the next night on 9/6/76?

Lisa was last seen riding her bike in Walnut Creek, California at 7:00 pm on September 5, 1976. She was going to the BART station from her home in the area of Los Cerros. She was supposed to be home by 8:00 pm, but didn’t return to her family home and has never been heard from again. Her parents reported her missing at 9:00 pm. Lisa’s bike (a red Raleigh 10 speed) was found in a grove of walnut trees at Heather Farm Park, near the Contra Costa Canal, three hours after she was last seen. A search of the canal turned up no clues as to her whereabouts, but witnesses said they saw Lisa at the park entrance.

Several witnesses reported seeing a Caucasian male driving a medium sized motorcycle on Ygnacio Valley Rd and Walnut Ave, two blocks east of Heather Farm Park, at approximately 7:30 pm. The man was not wearing a helmet and is described as being in his early 40’s, with brown curly hair, a mustache, and “chunky” build. A Caucasian female wearing a white helmet, aged between eight and twelve years old, was riding the motorcycle with him. It hasn’t been verified that the child was Lisa, and the man’s identity has never been confirmed.
