TRANSCRIPT OF REPORT, IN FULL
==========================================
UNSUB;
TINA SHARP-VICTIM
POSSIBLE KIDNAPPING
(00: SACRAMENTO)
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE ATTACHED ANALYSIS IS
NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A THOROUGH AND WELL-PLANNED INVESTI-
GATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED ALL INCLUSIVE. THE
INFORMATION PROVIDED IS BASED UPON REVIEWING, ANALYZING,
AND RESEARCHING CRIMINAL CASES SIMILAR TO THE CASE SUB-
MITTED BY THE REQUESTING AGENCY. THE FINAL ANALYSIS IS
BASED UPON PROBABILITIES NOTING, HOWEVER, THAT NO TWO
CRIMINAL ACTS OR CRIMINAL PERSONALITIES ARE EXACTLY ALIKE
AND THEREFORE Tl-IE OFFENDER AT TIMES MAY NOT ALWAYS FIT
THE PROFILE IN EVERY CATEGORY.
The following psychological profile was prepared by SA John E.
Douglas of the FBl's Behavioral Science Unit. This profile is
based upon the personal research conducted by SA Douglas and other
members of the Behavioral Science Unit. 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.
Victimology
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, in-
volved himself in criminal offenses to include burglary and arson.
Crime Scene
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 after-
thought.
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 re-
ceiving a cushion from the couch to rest his head on prior to his own
execution. Wingate may have been utilized to assist in the binding
of the victims. Statements made by associates support the fact 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.
Summary
This triple 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.
Offender Profile
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. She had nothing left at home
and it was obvious, according to witnesses, that her mother no longer
had control of her family.
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
(i.e., 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 in-
formation received by the Behavioral Science unit is that the father
had an alibi at the time of the homicides and therefore is not 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 (i.e. child pornography).
Investigative Techniques
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 victims, par-
ticularly 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.
If you have any questions relative to this profile, suspects
developed, and/or interrogation techniques that may be found to be
effective, you may telephonically contact SA Douglas at the FBI
Academy, telephone number (703) 640-6131, Ext. 2254.

This is faulty in that the killers came with a kill kit, and disregards the two widths of tape, the extensive amount of tape used (almost 2 full rolls), the gun, and the pocket knife found in the dumpster by the Gen Store.

Dana was strangled to death, and the crushing blows to his skull came much later, after lividity had set in. His head being on the cushion was all about staging, and had nothing to do with compensation or comfort. There is only one known 'statements from associates' to support the idea Dana was passive, while LE also had another account from a friend saying he would fight back if provoked, so concluding Dana was passive is a very weak deduction.

The blanket and sheet came from Tina's bed, nor do we know who covered Sue.

The remorse statement stems from Sue being covered, so it's important to note we don't know who covered nor, therefore, the origin of that remorse.

Again, he's ignoring the kill kit and the other weapons, and the elaborate staging that came after the murders.

In all probability, John Douglas would not stand by this statement, nor this profile, today.
here's something that bugs me: LE took photos indicating they fully understood the complexity of the staging, of dried blood, of multiple overlapping dried blood patterns, of the cushion being blood-soaked on both sides. They took those photos within hours of the discovery of the crime, yet FBI John Douglas was apparently totally clueless about the cushion and the staging and the SHEET and blanket and which bed and blood on that bed, etc etc etc.
JOHN DOUGLAS WAS LIED TO!
The photos were taken in color. Sent as black and white. How complete? I look at one color photo of the crime scene and I see 1000 more things than from the PCSO b&w prints from those same color negs.
