Some interesting stuff about SoCal's most recently prominent mass murderer:
"He was so passionate about boats that he began working as a young teen at a business that runs fishing, diving and whale watching tours. He eventually joined the payroll as a crewman, said Don Ashley, co-owner of Pierpoint Landing in Long Beach. He was popular with tourists and other crew members alike and was incredibly fit, finding time to play high school football and baseball while holding down his job. "He was the most even-keeled, good-natured person. A lot of our groups would say, 'Hey, is Scott going to be on the boat today?' They looked forward to him and the crews, the same thing," Ashley said. "When you put five or six people on a boat, a lot of times it's oil and water and they just don't get along. He got along with everybody."
"In 1991, Dekraai went to work at Catalina Channel Express, working his way up to captain piloting ferries between the mainland and the picturesque haven of Catalina Island. The company accused him of using heroin and illegal drugs to lose weight and he was fired in 2000. His breach of contract and defamation lawsuit were dismissed, according to court papers."

I wonder how often I was on this guy's ferry on the way to dive Catalina? Did anyone here know the guy as an Express employee or working for whatever "business that runs fishing, diving and whale watching tours"?
