BALTIMORE — Baltimore County Police detectives arrived at a home in the shadow of Woodlawn High School in May 2020 hoping to take a photograph of the man who lived there.
Two weeks earlier, that man had emerged from a nearby tract of woods, wearing nothing but a mask and carrying what looked like a pink child’s jacket, and chased after a horrified postal worker.
Investigators got a picture of the man — masked and shirtless — when they visited his home, but noted in police documents that they also found newspaper clippings from 1999 to January 2000 in his basement, along with pornography and empty alcohol containers.
