(January 2015)ĭodd began sexually abusing children at 13. His initial efforts merely involved standing in a bedroom window and exposing himself to passersby. A child reported the flasher to the police, but no action was taken. Fearing he would get in trouble, Dodd began riding his bicycle around the neighborhood, then flagging children down and exposing himself. He claimed he did this because of the stress of puberty and because he had never been told about sex.Īfter a while, he discovered that "boys were less likely to report me than girls". Dodd also insisted that he had never been directly abused himself as a child, but suffered from his parents' squabbles and lack of emotional support. His father eventually told an Oregon newspaper that he was aware of the boy's behavior, but largely chose to look the other way, especially since he was otherwise "a well behaved child who never had problems with drugs, drinking, or smoking". In high school, Dodd found himself socially awkward and unable to talk to girls or date. After his parents divorced, he progressed from simply exposing himself to outright molestation, beginning with his younger cousins and then neighborhood kids he offered to babysit and the children of a woman his father was dating. At the age of 15, Dodd was arrested for indecent exposure, but police let him go with a recommendation of juvenile counseling.Īs the years passed, he would be arrested several more times, again with no serious action taken. After some neighborhood kids moved out of town, he began molesting children he didn't know. By 18, he had come to realize that kids were easier to coerce than he previously thought. Dodd would sometimes attempt to molest lone boys or else encounter them in a group and demand they undress. Sometimes, he said, he would sneak out to playgrounds in the middle of the night and run around naked.
In August 1981, Dodd tried to abduct two little girls, but they reported him to the police.
The following month, he enlisted in the Navy and was assigned to a submarine base in Bangor, Washington where he started abusing the children who lived on the base.

He also started bribing children with money to lure them into a secluded area where he could molest them. In addition, he would hang out in video arcades and dispense quarters in exchange for complying with his demands. Once, Dodd offered some boys $50 to come with him to a motel room for a game of strip poker. Despite confessing to police that he planned to molest the boys, he was released with no charges filed. Shortly afterwards, he was arrested again for exposing himself to a boy and discharged from the Navy. Dodd spent 19 days in jail and had to take court-ordered counseling. In May 1984, he was arrested for molesting a 10-year-old boy, but received only a suspended sentence.ĭodd planned his entire life around easy access to "targets" as he referred to children. He moved into an apartment block with a large kid population and worked at fast food restaurants, as a charity truck driver, and other such jobs. While on his truck route, Dodd was frequently invited into houses with children and would often make notes of it. He molested the preschool-aged children of a neighbor repeatedly, but the woman feared that pressing charges would be too traumatic for the boys.
Repeated counseling and therapy sessions proved useless, and by this point, Dodd's fantasies started progressing to outright homicide. In 1987, he chose his first victim, an 8-year-old boy he met while working a job on a construction site.
