Vehicles: The Van
Introduction
"I need food and money for my van." This phrase was spoken over and over again in EAR attacks. While the mention of a specific vehicle might seem like a red herring, it's interesting to note that on a few occasions, a van possibly belonging to EAR was seen in the vicinity of a few of the attacks.
There's the propensity for researchers to think that most everything the EAR said was a red herring, something designed to throw people off to his true nature and true identity and prevent anyone from learning anything that they could use to discover who he was. But we have this interesting situation of vans being heard and vans being sighted.
It begs the question, did EAR really tell as many lies as we thought? So we decided that it would be best to lay the "van-related" evidence out for all to see, so that you could draw your own conclusions.
