This is what Ray Grant said about the statement of Peggy Your when she was heading to the Marshall Ranch at 10:55pm :"But when you drive west on Lake Herman Road, and pass the Gate #10 turnout, which would then be to your left, your headlights don't shine into the turnout". Below is a representation of the drawing from Ray Grant's book "Zodiac Killer Solved". Ray Grant continued: "The only way Homer Your's headlights could have illuminated the Faraday Rambler is if he had his high beams on, in which case the headlights would only shine on the driver's window for a moment from about 350 feet away". What Ray is arguing for, is that neither of the Your's got a clear look at the Rambler and what its occupants were doing that night at 10:55pm.
So when Robert Connelly and Frank Gasser headed to the Marshall Ranch at 9pm or 10pm (like the Your's did later), how could they have possibly recognised the truck of Bingo Wesner coming out of Gate #10? In 1968 (shown in the image below), the gate in the turnout was 100 feet from the right side of the road in extreme darkness. All they would have seen was a vehicle and its headlights from that distance. That vehicle could have been anybody from the ranches and businesses beyond that gate. Nowhere in the police report does it say that Bingo Wesner was in his truck when he spotted the white Chevrolet Impala. Nowhere in the police report does it say he was exiting the gate at 10pm (or 9pm). Nowhere in the police report does it say that Robert Connelly saw Bingo Wesner's truck exit gate #10. And nowhere in the police report does it say that Bingo Wesner saw the red pick-up truck of Connelly & Gasser pass the turnout. For a full explanation see here.

Ray stated "At 10pm, Connelly's red pickup truck with wood sideboards just happens to pass the Gate #10 turnout as Bingo Wesner's truck comes out through Gate #10. Besides noticing each other, both notice the white Chevy Impala parked in the turnout". Again, how does Robert Connelly or Frank Gasser notice Bingo Wesner in pitch black from close to 100 feet away, when the Your's could barely (if at all) see David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen in the Rambler from about half that distance. The cold hard facts are, that Robert Connelly and Frank Gasser could never have recognised Bingo Wesner or his truck that night. At best, they would have seen the glare of headlights coming from the gate as they passed the turnout..
