Lake Berryessa and A Possible Ego's Curiosity?

11/11/2017

 
This article was written by Alex Lewis (Welsh Chappie), whose own site detailing Zodiac suspect Lawrence Kane, can be found here.

By the time Sept. 27th of 1969 came around, the Zodiac, his homicidal Spree and his written communications were well known to a fearful public because the killer himself made sure he got the column space filled with reports of his murders, threats, goads and taunts, and so anyone with even a remote interest in current affairs or events could not be unaware of the fact that a killer, who calls himself The Zodiac, is at large and wanted by several agencies for murder, attempted murder, felony assault and so on. They would also know, had they taken time to browse, the killer's recent communications to and with The San Francisco Chronicle, that this homicidal lunatic has not just given himself a moniker to be know by, he'd also given himself a signature symbol, too. This is, most obviously, the crosshairs, a symbol that by the time Sept 27th had come around, been published in The Chronicle as the signature of the man who calls himself 'Zodiac.'  So, why should this be of any significance? Well, here's one I made earlier, so to speak - or more accurately, a post I wrote elsewhere:


I have always assumed the Zodiac wore that outfit with centered crosshairs stitched neatly into the center of the front overlay for the purpose of ego. I have always had a suspicion that, while I happily admit to having no evidence or grounds to show for it being anywhere near factual or true, Zodiac wore that costume with the crosshairs  for His ego's curiosity, in that the crosshairs by then was a known and published signature of the man police were calling 'Zodiac', and so if the victims were aware of events recently published in The Chronicle, The Times, and a number of other published newspapers, then they would know, upon sighting his symbol, just who it actually was that was standing in front of them. If they did recognize or associate the symbol with Him as 'Zodiac', well then they'd also be aware that what he'd just told them was a load of crap and he is certainly not a recent escapee from Deer lodge Prison in Montana nor, therefore you would likely assume, does he wish to steal your vehicle for purpose of fleeing to Mexico.​
Picture
​If these people do not recognise the symbol as being the known sign or signature that the San Francisco Zodiac Killer has adopted and used then, then in his mind they are responsible for their own doom as they are ignorant of the most important news story that is unfolding in that area at that time, that being his own rampage of homicide.

I always think that in the killer's mind he was kind of giving these victims a chance, offering them the opportunity to recognize him from the symbolic crosshairs and as such, I would think he'd have to assume, would immediately try to get away whether he had a weapon pointed at them or not. If you are 99.9% certain that that man 10 feet away is, without doubt, a merciless and cold-blooded serial killer who's responsible not for any vehicle thefts, nor prison escapes, but several homicides, then I don't know about others but I myself would be sprinting in the opposite direction gun pointed at me or not . . . I'd know to stay there and comply equals certain death so, what do you have to lose by attempting to escape?

Because the victims failed to recognise the individual from the clue slap bang in the middle of his chest then, well I can almost see him rationalizing in his own warped mind anyway, that these people are going to die and they are their own worst enemy because they are ignorant of who he is. He has just walked up to them wearing a symbol that the Zodiac has used to sign off in His recent letters to the Chronicle, letters that were subsequently published with that  symbol. .  . .so how ignorant the victims are of such an important recent set of crimes and the most important person in the Bay Area at present, that being himself as the individual responsible for having committed them, 

 
Their ignorance, he would likely believe, is both an insult to his own self-believed level of infamy that these people have not even bothered to take time to pay attention which, from his deflated ego's perspective and with a sense of rage and anger because he's not as infamous as he would like to think, can only be described as being: 'Deplorable at Best!'

Ret. Det. and His digging into 'Eight Year old Witness Ident. of Subject.

10/5/2017

 
This article was written by Alex Lewis (Welsh Chappie), whose own site detailing Zodiac suspect Lawrence Kane, can be found here.

While browsing the different Forums, Chat Boards and Z themed Sites, I happened across a thread in which A Retired LE Detective brings up a document that He stumbled across in the Files that He says jumped out at Him as it appeared to Name a Suspect that was ID'd by a witness who referred to as 'Eight year old,,,'

 This was long before I filed the third FOIA for the same Document and Suspects Name to be released with success and this Detective makes several statements or assertions which, in brief, are as follows:

He points out that both before coming across this Document He Himself had spoken at length to both Lindsey & Rebecca Robbins who were the initial witnesses who were having a party when they saw the cab & it's driver being (as they initially believed) being assaulted and robbed thus subsequently they called cops.  The Ret. Detective said post-document discovery, while He did not know who the Identified suspect named in it was, He went back and spoke again with Rebecca. She stated that they (Her and Lindsey) were never asked to Identify a suspect by any means or method, ie A subject driven back passed their house in squad car,  nor were they asked to go to a police station to ID someone from a standard Photo Line-up and said they themselves are not aware of any other witnesses from that night in question, aged 8 or otherwise, and nobody in Law Enforcement ever mentioned it to them.

 He also stated that He himself had heard rumbles and/or rumours that He said were 'Persistent' that on the Night itself, a police vehicle was said to have stopped A Subject on Jackson Street, a brief exchange take place between this White Male and A Police Officer who had exited His vehicle to speak with this 3rd party before said Cop then opened His Cruisers rear door and the Subject, not with any resisting nor cuffed, got in the back seat seemingly of His own free choice. 

 Now I don't know, I can't offer evidence to support that scenario other than to call into question once again just why it took Fouke several minutes to get from having just passed through Washington Intersection on Presidio Avenue to Jackson and Maple when it takes a driving time, at the speed limit of 25MPH, 30 seconds! Fouke in His own words stated He was travelling approx. 35 -40 Miles per Hour on the 25 MPH street so He should get to Maple on jackson in 15/20 seconds, not 3 to 5 Minutes! Where was He, what accounts for this Missing time? Maybe, just Maybe,  He was transporting His priority passenger out of that Danger Zone where an armed Maniac is loose!


​

Picture
At 40, He should get to Jax and Maple in 45 seconds, doing 45 MPH takes 5 seconds less and He should take less than three quarters of a single minute. It's not only Pelissetti that claims He arrived on scene, hurded the Robbins kids back to their home where He spoke with them briefly before returning to His Radio Car to issue a correction of suspect race then having time to check Mr Stine who was slumped in the cab and determining He was, quote "99.9 certain He was dead" before walking slowly down Cherry to it's intersection with Jackson before Fouke speeds up. It's also Zodiac and His declaration of "About 3 MIN after I left the cab I was walking down the Hill when this cop car pulled up and one of them called Me over..."

 Three Minutes States Zodiac, 180 seconds! Just over FOUR times longer than it should have taken Fouke if, as He claims, He responded to the 'Initial Radio Broadcast of a Shooting at Cherry and Washington Streets." Why?

"We Never Stopped the Man, We Never talked  to Him... That is an EMPHATIC statement by Me!"

 Allegans contraria non est audiendus - 'One who makes Contradictory Statements is NOT to be Heard.' Latin Law Maxim!

 The Title of this Article are in speech marks because these are the direct words quoted by SFPD Patrol Officer: Donald Fouke. He is using these words to deny His admitting to another individual that He had, indeed, stopped and briefly questioned a White Male Subject on Jackson Street.  Now the rebuttal He makes comes after this other individual claims Fouke had admitted to Him He actually had stopped a Un-Sub that night and this other individual isn't just Average Joe somebody, either. No, this counter claim or accusation placed at Fouke's feet that He is publicly lying comes directly from One Armond Pelissetti, employed by The SFPD Himself at equal and same rank as His fellow cop Fouke.

No, this counter claim or accusation placed at Fouke's feet that He is publicly lying comes directly from One Armond Pelissetti, employed by The SFPD Himself at equal and same rank as His fellow cop Fouke.

​Well, considering Pelissetti (Left) is not indirectly or implying that Officer Fouke is lying, He is direct and to the point: "However, what Officer Fouke told Me and what He wrote in that scratch do not match." In other words, Don is lying in the public retelling of His encountering the Mystery WMA. While yes, it maybe true to say that Don has never wavered nor been contradictory as to the WMA's descriptive detail.

  'White Male, 35 - 45 years of age. Navy blue Parka type jacket zipped part the way up. Rusty color pleated pants/trousers with tan color type of engineering style boot. Crew cut with receding hairline, which was light in color & possibly greying at rear.


​Now, straight away if you were new here and heard that as a description of a spotted suspect you'd likely assume, rightly so, that this is a description coming from a person who had a very good and close proximity view of the said subject and that given the color of each and every garment given by witness, the said witness would have been viewing Un-Sub while the Un-Sub was under lighted conditions for a prolonged period (30 seconds or more) and that given the witness can describe the v shaped front hairline that is receding plus the back of this mans head appearing to be going grey, this witness must almost surely have been stood right in front of our Un-Sub before The Un-Sub turned and walked away thus allowing for the witness to observe "Ahh-ha! Greying at the rear!"

If told: "Well actually, no. This description came from a 5, 10, maybe 15 seconds tops sighting where the witness passed by subject without stopping but is viewing this from within  a vehicle that is in continual motion on street, at Night, and subject is walking down sidewalk going under from illuminated by the street-lights to,as Fouke put it: "Walking in the shadow of the trees at the time..." with this initial 'Sighting' happening with the witness and Un-Sub being 75 yards distance apart, at Night, in the shadow of the trees and then offering us the color of this individuals shoes, the Receding V shaped 'Widows Peak' Hairline afront the Crew Cut,  with light color hair with possible red tint in it that certainly was going grey but only at the rear of Subjects head" then You, the new comer to the case, would likely struggle to accept even that this is possible as it simply sounds so implausible. 

I, and it's my stance only, would contend that it sounds so unbelievable simply because. . . .  That's exactly what it is.

​It's an accurate and true description He is giving I do believe, but one He gives after an encounter with the suspect that happens in a 'Face to Face' scenario, just as The Widow of Eric Zelms stated Her late Husband had told Her it happened.... as it just so happens. Donald has been forced to admit to visually seeing such an individual, Zodiac Himself has made sure We know at least this much truth! Fouke and Co. failed to even mention seeing anyone what-so-ever on Jackson street that night, A fact omitted that didn't go unnoticed by the Killer who quickly writes about it having happened thus forcing the Authorities to admit at least that it even happened! But, for whatever reason, Fouke will not admit to ever stopping this same man & verbally asking Him anything. Why admit to seeing Zodiac, thus affirming that the Zodiac is telling the truth about You  and Your Dpt. concealing this incident yet adamantly denying the second part about actually asking The Un-Sub anything at all...I can't work that out!

​ For Me, You either refute and deny the whole claim made by Zodiac, or if You are to concede He be telling the truth and outing You and Your agency for concealing A Truth then You admit and be truthful about the event as a whole. What I don't understand at all is a response that says: "Ok, Z has forced our hand here so We will admit that yes, an Officer visually spotted Him, but We shall deny the verbal exchange claim and suggest this did not happen!" I suppose the Dpt. were forced, begrudgingly, into admitting to even encountering Him in the first place so maybe they were willing to concede to the basic bare minimum but not anything more than this.  Fouke contesting that He got this detailed description via a 5 to 10 second bypassing of a person in whom, He states,  he pays almost no attention to after observing He's White, this is, I contend, simply laughable!

 Now, Many will and many have, and continue to do so, jump to the defence of this witness simply because He is a cop and has a badge! A Badge He no doubt is wearing while He gave this description. However, this cop failed to even mention seeing this WMA that evening until offending Zodiac write a kinda "Oh yeah, by the way....did i mention 2 cops did pull the goof..,.." He, the Criminal Offender We need to rely on in this instance to bring forth the truth, not The SFPD! The Offender pulls the Dpt. out from under the bush of concealment to force them to acknowledge a huge goof and error made that night by making them clarify that a cop car did pull up and one of the two cops occupying it did, as He claimed,  call the offender over to themselves where they would briefly question him doing so 'Face to Face'.

To end I shall post a few Maxims of Law relevant to this post above:

  - Gross negligence is held equivalent to intentional wrong.

  - Misconduct binds its own authors. It is a never-failing axiom that everyone is accountable only for his own offence or wrong.

  - Punishment is due if the words of an oath be false.


  - Where there be uncertainty or opposing verdicts, the more credible are to be believed.  It does not matter how many people believe a lie, it is still a lie!"


Misconduct binds its own authors. It is a never-failing axiom that everyone is accountable only for his own offence or wrong.

Ok Credit has to go to Carl Karase, A Facebook Zodiac Group member who has an interest in Suspect: Xen Anthony.

 He readily admits there is no complex method to this below, no cryptic breaking of the Cipher Text nor Key found and used but simply just playing around and wondered if the Name 'Xenophon Anthony' and His residential address would fit into the Zodiac's "The Map Coupled with the code will tell you where the bomb is set.  You have till next fall to dig it up" Couple iof lines of Code? After having a 'Why not, let's have a go' moment.  what resulted can be viewed below. . .

 Now I post the above hoping anyone who is fairly competent to give a rough mathematical odds of this fitting perfect please leave a comment. Myself and Competent when Maths are concerned. . . . .  Behave will You!  :-) 

 The Bomb is set..."You have till next fall to dig it up"

 I'm going to try look into when Xenophon left that residence. If it was around the Fall immediately following this letter coming from the blue felt pen that Zodiac almost trademarked as His own Communication Writing Pen of choice to form the words and style of writing that is so familiar to most of the Serious Zodiac Researchers.....If Xenophon Moved out around that time then Patrol Sgt. R. Grinell, Colleague of Mine will be notified and dispatched with Arrest Warrant for A Xenophon Lusby Anthony,
  
  He is under the ground Sgt. Grinell and Deceased, But I am Your Superior Chief Insp. who is Alive with Xenophon Under Suspicion! 

  Grinell.......I may need You to respond in the very near future with Your 'Red Light & Siren!'  Listen for the radio Call and I will try my best not to give You the Dispatch details for Xenophon as: "All units, by all units I mean Sgt. R.Grinell please respond to reports of a Suspicious BMAD! Or Black Male Adult Deceased! Five Feet ten Inches down and don't you dare allow this BMAD to go because you assumed that He cannot be fdetained for questioning! Some suspects will pass away Sgt which just goes to shows the lengths some offenders will go to in order to avoid detection!

 Dear Editor:  This is the Zodiac Speaking!  
 I have Grown rather angry with the police for their telling lies about Me, so I shall now throw all of My toys out of My pram in protest! I shall refrain from being nice and telling them when and where I kill anymore! Routine Robberies & few fake accidents shall I make them look!  And anyway, it doesn't matter because they'd never catch me in any event because One has been too clever for them! 

  1: Firstly I have NOT left fingerprints anywhere anytime at any of My Slave Collecting Sites contrary to what the Police People are claiming! What I have done is left them a little false lead to chase down so that I may amuse Myself as I watch them follow this 'Fake Clew' straight into that brick wall over there. I enjoy taking the piss out the police! Hey Blue Meanie pig, I WAS in the Park! You were using Fire trucks, or trying to like idiots, to cover and mask the sounds of Your silly responding Prowling Meanie-Vehicles and their sirens!

 2: Hey Blue Pig, Confession with Congratulations that yes I look absolutely identical to that composite sketch you have kindly Circulated. I must confess though that I resemble that drawing uncannily but only when Doing My Thing! The rest of the time in My everyday life I look absolutely nout like that whatsoever!  That's now Zodiac: 2 - Police City Pig Cops: 0!

And It's about to get worse because Your team scored a home goal hehe,... PS: Two Cops, One Fouke Up!

 As I was shuffling and limping all over the place down the Jackson Hill this City Pig Police Cop Car came slithering up to a stop when one of the City's Finest called and beckoned Me over to their Prowl Vehicle! One of the Two asked would I like to assist them off in the wrong Direction like a pair of morons and I, being the good Citizen I am, was only too happy to oblige that request.  I was asked had I seen anyone acting strange or suspicious like The Zodiac Killer and I said "Yes! But not down here or anywhere near where I am but, ummm, all the way up top there by ehh....Yeah that's correct Officer....Fouke, Officer Don A. Fouke....Certainly Don-a-Fouke-Up, Tehehehe,  which obviously simply must be printed in paper!!! Yes Sir, the Black dude with a pistol is running around up there somewhere, quickly City Pi...olice, before the Black Male that doesn't exist kills somebody By Arguello Blvd!" Officer Don then Fouked off up that direction thanking Me, the Zodiac Killer, for taking time to stop and assist them in their inquires.

 Hey Chief of Pigs, doesn't it rile You up to know that if You'd just have kept your insults to yourself I wouldn't be replying in Kind! You lot are so dumb You deserve to have holes in your heads!"

 The above is the tone and childish theme that seems to run through this letter in which the Author is choosing to respond to several allegations and the odd insult issued His way by The Chief of The Homicide Inspectors, Martin Lee.  The author writes in a ultra casual and laid back humorous way to dismiss the claims made by Chief Lee and do it in an almost bullet point presentation of dismissive swats. First He wishes to convey that He has grown rather angry with Police for telling Lies, and by police, He means Martin Lee!
Picture
Then after declaring He is now in a state of perpetual anger, He declares what He shall do about it....essentially, throw His toys out and stamp His foot 'No fair, You lot are horrible so I am not playing anymore! But before I go, I will list the allegations, why They are unfounded, and follow this up with a mud sling of my own that will hit the Chief rite between the eyes....
Picture
And now, for the Magician's finale...... The Disappearing Zodiac! "PS: Two cops pulled a goof!"

Knock Out punch issued on chin of San Francisco Police Department. Have a bit of that Mr Chief of Inspectors, and that brought the curtain down on the SFPD Show! Goodnight & see you next time!

Individual I saw was A WMA Approx. 35 - 45 Yrs...

8/27/2017

 
This article was written by Alex Lewis (Welsh Chappie), whose own site detailing Zodiac suspect Lawrence Kane, can be found here.

Zodiac's Age, like a lot of other things about Him, is open to speculation and/or interpretation dependant upon who it is Your asking. Some will insist that this killer, like the FBI statistics seem to imply, will be a White Male, Mid Twenties to Early Thirties. He will, most say, fall within the 'Expected' age range that the FBI Profilers suggest Serial Killers will be when they begin their reign of terror. However, lets not turn to statistic, let's not rely on odds of probability, let's use the facts as we know them to be to determine what the likely age of this offender was in 1969.

 First, let's look at Bryan Hartnell and His comments. It is commonly mis-quoted that He suggested His hooded attacker had a young and youthful sounding voice. This, like many other things in the Zodiac case, is untrue.  First, Bryan was asked to go along to listen to the voice that called in to the Jim Dunbar show claiming to be the Zodiac Killer. Here is what Bryan said after being played the recording...

 "That's not Him. The voice on that tape isn't even in the range of what I remember the Zodiac's voice as sounding like. The voice of the man who stabbed me was much deeper and older sounding than that man on that recording."  The article continues and states that Bryan's opinion was: "Backed up by Napa's David Slaight and Vallejo's Nancy Slover who both had also heard the voice of the real killer."

 So, that is age recognition via audible educated guessing, lets now turn to actual eye witnesses recollection of Z for age approximation. This eye witness is a witness with extra credibility! He isn't just your average man on the street eye witness, this is a trained observer and SFPD Patrol Officer, Donald Fouke. Lets examine both a statement He made mid Nineteen Eighties and then again in 2007. First, the earlier of the two:

 "The individual I saw that Night was a White Male Adult, Thirty Five to Forty Five Years of age, Five ft Ten and weighing approx. 180 to 210lbs."   Straight forward enough, in a nut shell, a middle aged white guy. Let's go to 2007:

  "I noticed, on the North side of the street, A White Male Adult wearing a derby, or three quarter waist length jacket that had elastic at the waist and on the cuffs and regular flap down collar. He had a crew cut, He was wearing rust coloured pleated trousers which were unusual for that time. He had on engineering type boot, a lot cut show, tan in colour." Fouke gave no Approx. Age audibly here but a composite was shown while He described the male. This was the face of the WMA as remembered by Don Fouke, the trained observer:



Picture
Fouke did mention that a Senior Detective, possibly Dave Toschi but He couldn't be sure that is who it was, came out to speak with Him and presented Fouke with the sketch as provided by the Robbins Kids/witnesses. Fouke recalled telling His senior that the man in the sketch He was being shown, quote: "He looked similar to the man I had seen on Oct. 11th but I told Him the Suspect (as He remembered seeing Him) was older and heavier (than how they had Him appearing in the circulated composite drawing seen below:



Picture
So, how old was the Un-Sub we all seek to identify? Why is His accurate age important? Why would the above circulated composite do more harm than good? These questions are of extreme importance because if Fouke is correct and the above composite which is the standard accepted best know and most accurate depiction of the face of the man called Zodiac is wrong and He is actually older and heavier than He looks in the above drawing, then that sketch circulated could simply end up helping Zodiac evade detection because He could be sat in an interview room suspected of being Zodiac and have detectives look at Him, a heavy set male around 40 to 45 years of age and look down at the Zodiac composite of a thin faced, late 20's to early 30's age range and decide: "Na, that guy in there can't be Him. Too Heavy and too old. Let Him go."

"I think I shall wipe out a School Bus some Morning. . ."

This article was written by Alex Lewis (Welsh Chappie), whose own site detailing Zodiac suspect Lawrence Kane, can be found here.

 I've always believed, even before the release of Xenophon Anthony's name, that Zodiac's threat to 'wipe out a school bus some morning' is a masked threat to the specific school child He knows ID'd Him. The threat was a veiled threat at a school child rather than school children. Zodiac Himself seems to later confirm this threat was not a general threat against a school bus full of kids by declaring in a later letter: "If you cops think I am going to take on a school bus the way I stated I would, You deserve to have holes in your heads."


​Note Zodiac says "The way I stated I would" which to Me seems like He's admitting the way He said it, ie, to take on a school bus, was never to be taken at face value but was simply a masked threat toward a school Kid rather than School Kids. The School Kid I believe He'd threatening is the witness referenced in the FBI report, a witness the report declares: "Eight year old witness in murder of Taxi driver Identified (Xenophon) Anthony as Possible subject in this matter." Zodiac, in a subsequent letter,  chins authorities for taking His threat as literal and at face value saying:  "If You cops think I am gong to take on a school bus the way I stated I would, You deserve to have holes in Your heads."


 If this is a masked threat toward the eight year old witness who Identified Zodiac, then it suggests that Xenophon's ID by this witness was accurate and that Xenophon Anthony is The Zodiac because if Zodiac knew that A witness had identified an innocent person as being possibly responsible, then He'd have no need to threaten the witness and would likely be in His own favor to allow the authorities to believe the witness knowing He had ID'd the wrong person. The fact that Zodiac threatens school children, or what I believe is a specific school kid, suggests that the school kid had in all probability ID'd the correct suspect which is why the suspect responded by threatening Him to keep His mouth shut. 

 Let's also not forget, The Zodiac has been seen by cops on October 11 and, quite obviously, Zodiac knows He's been seen and according to Zodiac Himself, backed up by first responding Officer on scene, Armond Pelissetti,  Officers Fouke & Zelms actually stopped Him and spoke to Him "Face to Face." With this in mind, it makes little to no sense for Zodiac now, knowing He'd been seen and spoken to by Don and Eric, to fire off a letter a day later announcing that He, The Zodiac, was  responsible for this crime because in doing so He surely knows that Police will now know what Zodiac looks like. Why drop such evidence in police laps when keeping quiet would mean Law Enforcement would be none the wiser to this crime actually being one of His?  If He just kept quiet then Paul's murder would forever be a cab robbery gone wrong and nobody would have any cause nor reason to attribute this crime to Zodiac. But, for some reason, Zodiac writes the letter anyway knowing it will mean Cops now know what He looks like and there has to be some method in His madness here and I think He had to write it because He wanted to instill fear in the Kid who ID'd Him by revealing that He Hasn't ID'd just any petty criminal here, but, in fact, the man He's dealing with is actually the ruthless, cold blooded and infamous, Zodiac!

Xenophon Anthony: Why I consider Him Suspect No.1

10/29/2016

 
PictureClick the above image to magnify
This article was written by Alex Lewis (Welsh Chappie), whose own site detailing Zodiac suspect Lawrence Kane, can be found here.

 This Article I write not in the tone of wanting to tell people why I consider Xenophon as Suspect No.1, I am self aware enough to know that My opinions do not demand anyone listen to them, and when I do put opinion to article and Hit 'Publish Post', If someone does choose to accept and agree with a theory I have, then great. If not, that;s fine too. I write this simply because I have been asked a few time why I put stock in this suspect.
 
​So, with so little information known about Xenophon Anthony, with He mentioned only once in a passing footnote as 'A' suspect in an FBI Document, I have been asked why I take this particular suspect and reference to Him so seriously? Well, the answer to that question is a very easy one, and it's this:

 Zodiac Case: The Suspects!

 The Zodiac case has, over the last half century, seen some 2,500 Suspects/POI's looked at and dismissed. Of these Two & A half thousand Suspects, a handful have persisted and have gone on as time passed to become suspects who's Names we all know such as Richard Marshall, Larry Kane, Bruce Davies and more recently, Dick Gaik.  For those who should wish to Champion any of these suspects as Zodiac, while they may disagree on which suspect is 'The' Zodiac, they will all have one thing in common. That One common factor that goes for all these suspects is: Circumstantial evidence. All of the evidence pointing to Marshall, Kane, Gaik etc is all Circumstantial in nature.

 What none of the top 5 suspects have ever had since their names first came up as Zodiac suspects, is Physical Evidence. Not one piece of Physical Evidence has surfaced against any of them. Not Richard Marshall, Not Dick Gaikowski, not even Lawrence Kane, for who I have written extensively and made My own case for His guilt. All these suspect have but Circumstantial Evidence linking them to, or implicating them in, the Zodiac Killer Case.

 Xenophon Anthony: The One and Only suspect with Physical Evidence via Witness Identification!

 That is where suspect Xenophon L. Anthony stands alone and in a suspect class of His own. Not by My Making, not Richards who run's and owns this site nor Dave Toschi either. Xenophon doesn't simply ask for attention to be given, He simply demands it and His priority above all others is He is the ONE, He is the ONLY suspect in this entire half century case that has physical evidence tying Him to the Offender called Zodiac in the form of an Eye-Witness Ident.

 Now You may see this angle from a different perspective than I, that's not only OK but welcome. I don't relish others agreeing with Me, I'd rather them challenge A theory I may have or an opinion I state, having people question your belief and idea's keep's you honest. So everyone is absolutely welcome to dive to the response/comment section below this article and tell Me what A Complete idiot I am and why, most obviously, I am barking up the wrong, and very proverbial, tree. 

 All I insist is that anyone who does wish to do that must have solid reason and grounds to do.

Zodiac: Cool, Calm, Collected & then Gone

This article was written by Alex Lewis (Welsh Chappie), whose own site detailing Zodiac suspect Lawrence Kane, can be found here.

 It has been alleged that the Widow of Officer Eric Zelms did once, when directly asked, tell that Her Late Husband Eric did in fact disclose to Her that He and Don had stopped & spoken to a White Male near Jackson and Maple Intersection. Eric is alleged to Have told His Wife Diana: 

 "We did speak to an individual walking down the Hill away from the crime area. He did absolutely nothing to cause us to be suspicious and answered all our questions. He was completely calm and did not give us any indications that He was nervous or had committed any wrong doing. He didn't stand out, He looked like the average Man."

 Dianna Stated that when it came to light Two days later that it was actually 'Zodiac' responsible and they'd likely spoke to the Most Wanted Man in America that night, Eric felt bad and from that day right up to the day He died, His widow said He never went anywhere without carrying the composite drawing and hoping against hope He would come across Him again.

 
 It had been noted many times by those who observed Zodiac that He appeared to have little concern or care for His potential to  be Seen or Apprehended. The most obvious of examples is His executing Paul Stine in the middle of an Intersection and proceeding to hang around ripping pieces of Paul's shirt off, wiping both the Interior and Exterior of the Yellow Cab that was His chosen crime scene, before witnesses stated He "Casually Walked away down Cherry Street."

It's one thing to act inconspicuous and not run from the scene when there's no direct and imminent threat of apprehension along Cherry, but quite another to approach Cops calling you to them and remain as cool and calm as He seemed to have when He knows that if Don asks "Do you have any objections to Me patting you down real quick, Sir?" then it's game over. He is either arrested carrying a concealed weapon & overwhelmingly incriminating items such as Stine's Wallet & Blood soaked Shirt or He pulls the gun and it's all out war.

 His completely calm and non panicked appearance could be suggestive of A Military Background where He has been in active combat and as such, has been trained to remain calm in the face of extreme danger.

​ Comments and Ideas welcome. . .

Police suspect that The Zodiac, the Infamous Bay Area Killer, recently attempted to stage a comeback by Donning the Hood once more to terrorize the Resident's of San Francisco. Mr and Mrs Chuck Irons were finishing a round of golf and Teeing off on the 18th Hole when they were approached by a Hooded man on A Mobility Scooter, brandishing A Weapon. The Fiend ordered the couple, both in their 50's, to lie face down on the grass of the 18th Hole.

                                     TRAUMATIZED!

 The man then aimed His gun and squeezed the trigger, but nothing happened. He pulled the trigger a second time, and again, no shot came. Mr Irons, seeing His assailant now fumbling around with His weapon asked the hooded intruder if He needed any help? The suspect refused, saying with cadence: "No"  The man then appeared to get frustrated with His weapon of choice and slammed it against the arm rest of His scooter, causing a shot to accidentally discharge.  Luckily, Mr Irons recalled, the bullet missed both He and His Wife, and was found by Crime Scene Officers buried in the Sand Trap some 100 meters away.

The unexpected shot had caused the weapon to unexpectedly recoil and it sprang backward, straight into the hood of their would be attacker knocking His horn rimmed glasses off the hoods exterior, which police later found. Mrs Irons let out a scream as the shot rang out, followed by two to three seconds of silence. Then, the couple said, an audible groaning sound came from beneath the sinister Hood. Their assailant, now blind and Injured, abandoned the attempt and Mr Iron's said "He just reversed, turned His mobility scooter around, and left."

 The Couple, still traumatized, sat down with Sun City Police Dpt. Sketch Artist to compile a Composite Drawing of their attacker.  (Seen above)

​ The following day, a potential witness came forward to say He may have observed the Offender as He drove away from the scene. Richard Marshall, 72,  stated that as He was approaching the Golf Course Parking Lot, He observed an Individual emerge from the direction of the 18th Hole. Mr Marshall stated that at first glance He believed the Man to have been driving a Golf Buggy, but quickly realized it was actually a scooter. He last saw the suspect heading heading West toward the exit gates. Marshall stated He had got a good look at the suspect and described Him as:  A White Male. Between 80 - 100 years of age, White Hair and a Distinctive Black Eye. Mr Marshall said the Man was driving a brown (Possibly Dark Red) Late Model Mobility Scooter that estimated to have been going between 3 - 5 MPH as the man left the area. Police said that this Vehicle description matches the One the suspect was driving. Mr Marshall told The Chronicle, "Now I know who this person was,  I feel lucky to be alive!"
 
Sun City Police Detective Lawrence Kane is investigating the possibility that Zodiac has made a comeback. Detective Kane was asked if He believes Zodiac is still alive, Kane replied "Yes, Absolutely!" Asked should the Public be concerned about the Zodiac and whether He is still a threat today,  Det. Kane said:  "Errr, well..I Don't know.. I suppose it depends on how fast His scooter will go."
