I really haven't spent a whole lot of time researching this. A few years ago I posted a little bit on my old site, so I will copy it over here. In 1973, an African-American man assaulted and raped at least 62 women up until 1978. The man smelled like gasoline and oil and was therefore given the name "Stinky." In Nov. 1978, police arrested a suspect who had been trying to help them with the case for some months prior. Walter J. Taylor was incarcerated at San Quentin and Folsom prisons from 1968 to 1973. While in jail, he founded the Sisters of Motivation and the Community Concern for Prisoners organizations to help African American convicts. He was also arrested, but never charged, as a suspect in the "Stinky Rapist" crimes in Berkeley, California, from 1973 to 1978. library.duke.edu/rubenstein/findingaids/taylorwalter/Does anyone know how to get copies of these letters written by Taylor?

I remember reading about this on the old site. I thought the old reports said he smelled like something other than gasoline.
