Dodd tried to lure the child into a vacant building, but he refused to go with him and instead told police. In 1987, he chose his first victim, an 8-year-old boy he met while working a job on a construction site.

Repeated counseling and therapy sessions proved useless, and by this point, Dodd's fantasies started progressing to outright homicide. He molested the preschool-aged children of a neighbor repeatedly, but the woman feared that pressing charges would be too traumatic for the boys. While on his truck route, Dodd was frequently invited into houses with children and would often make notes of it.

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. 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. Dodd spent 19 days in jail and had to take court-ordered counseling. Shortly afterwards, he was arrested again for exposing himself to a boy and discharged from the Navy. Despite confessing to police that he planned to molest the boys, he was released with no charges filed. Once, Dodd offered some boys $50 to come with him to a motel room for a game of strip poker. In addition, he would hang out in video arcades and dispense quarters in exchange for complying with his demands. He also started bribing children with money to lure them into a secluded area where he could molest them.

During this time, Dodd also became skilled in accosting boys in local movie theaters. 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. In August 1981, Dodd tried to abduct two little girls, but they reported him to the police. Sometimes, he said, he would sneak out to playgrounds in the middle of the night and run around naked. Dodd would sometimes attempt to molest lone boys or else encounter them in a group and demand they undress. By 18, he had come to realize that kids were easier to coerce than he previously thought. After some neighborhood kids moved out of town, he began molesting children he didn't know. 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 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. In high school, Dodd found himself socially awkward and unable to talk to girls or date. 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". 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. He claimed he did this because of the stress of puberty and because he had never been told about sex.

After a while, he discovered that "boys were less likely to report me than girls". Fearing he would get in trouble, Dodd began riding his bicycle around the neighborhood, then flagging children down and exposing himself. A child reported the flasher to the police, but no action was taken. His initial efforts merely involved standing in a bedroom window and exposing himself to passersby.
