They can match the impact marks on the primer on spent shells.

Plus, I have 12 bore slug guns with rifling that can be matched, but shotguns are normally loaded with shot; hence the name.

my hunch would be that most of these incidents are unrelated. I tend to avoid spending too much time around trail heads/car camping spots in the San Gabes as there are just some odd cats in the LA met area. Very surprised something like this would happen in Malibu creek though, reminds me of those bible college kids that were murdered in Jenner years back. Creepy.

Charges brought

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/07/us/camping-father-california-murder-charge/index.html

Prosecutors say a 35-year-old father who was fatally shot while camping with his daughters in June was killed by the same man who opened fire on a number of unsuspecting campers and motorists in the past few years.

Tristan Beaudette was shot once in the head on June 22 as he slept in a tent with his 2- and 4-year-old daughters at the Malibu Creek State Park in California. Investigators looking into the case then connected the homicide with a series of shootings in the park dating to November 2016.
On Monday, prosecutors charged a suspect of carrying out those shootings. Anthony Rauda, 42, was charged Monday with one count of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and five counts of second-degree burglary, the LA County District Attorney's Office said.

Looks like they got their man. Now all they have to do is throw away the key. Some unsuspecting Dad indiscriminately killed while camping out with his kids in a public park.

They can match the impact marks on the primer on spent shells.

Of course the most that can do is put the shooter at a certain location if he leaves the shells lying around.

Rolled into court on a restraining table with a spit hood because of a previous out-burst in court. Sounds like the right guy!

What a shitbag. Hope they drop him in a gang group holding cell while awaiting a permanent prison assignment.

Reminds me of the Ten Sleep shooter who shot that visiting South American climber in his tent, and was also guilty of killing some family members who stopped to help him on the highway, while he was feigning distress. Too bad these asswipes didn't confront a conceal carrier who could have solved their problem quickly.

Plenty of sociopaths among us. There was a local senseless killing in my town of a guy strolling on one of our urban trails a few of months ago. He was stabbed 37 times by a psychopath who ran up to him and started hacking away. The same psycho had just walked up to a random woman a few blocks away and started punching her in the face, then did the same a block away to another guy, knocking him down and beating him in the face (causing intracranial bleeding) before moving on to the stabbing victim. I can't image what the victims' families are going through. I'd want to break into the prison and beat the perp to death myself.

Most schizophrenics are not violent. This is more than just your average homeless schizophrenic. This is a homicidal recidivist criminal sociopath. His future is permanent incarceration.

In Europe he would be out in 7 or 8 years, if that.

Yeah just kill the guy, thats the easy way out. Avoids having to look in the mirror at ourselves and question whether or not we are doing enough about mental health. I am not going to pass judgment on the guy based on a newspaper article.

The world is full of insane people. I'm beginning to think it's about a 50/50 split at best.

To pass this pathological homicidal behavior off as simply "mental illness" is ridiculous and an insult to the mentally ill.

There are evil sadistic f*#ks out there who enjoy harming others.

Remember this missing family in San Diego?

Perhaps the perps can be cellies and kill each other ASAP.

In 2019 California, this Rauda guy's looking at some serious Community Supervision Probation.

The fault is first not working intensively with new convicts using therapists and social workers, and later for repeat offenders, not locking up repeat criminals for a longer time period. This guy appears to fit into the latter group:
"Rauda has a lengthy criminal record, including multiple convictions for illegal weapons possession in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, court records show. He previously lived in Florida and Texas, where he was convicted of assault, according to court records."

Doesn't seem like they were able to connect Rauda to Mattew Weaver disappearance yet?
It's mind boggling that Weaver is still missing and no resolution.
His hat, car key and torn t-shirt were found on/by the trail near where his car was found, a couple of months ago...but no further info.
Really wonder what kind of job was done by the police initially, since his items were laying by the trail for months - and dogs couldn't pick up on that (if they even bother to use dogs)

Weaver will likely never be found. Fires swept through in Dec and there's no body to find. - regardless of whether it was a murder or if he just had a bad accident messing around off trail.
