On January 4th 1970, somebody identifying as the "Zodiac" phoned Peggy Trainer in Rodeo and threatened that she was to become his next victim. But according to the newspapers there wasn't one phone call on Sunday, January 4th 1970, there were two sinister calls at approximately 10:20pm and 10:25pm. These were then followed by a further two calls by the same individual on Tuesday, January 6th 1970 at 1:00am and 12:15pm - making four malicious phone calls in total by a laughing "Zodiac".
It was reported in the Contra Costa Times newspaper (see left) that Peggy Trainer lived directly behind the 749 Tormey Avenue apartment from which Leona Roberts disappeared. She was forcibly snatched from her boyfriend's apartment at 749 Tormey Avenue in Rodeo at approximately 6:15pm on December 10th 1969, with her naked body being found on December 28th 1969 by an elderly man collecting driftwood near Bolinas Lagoon. The coroner estimated she had been alive 10 to 14 days after her abduction, with the sheriff's office stating she had been dead about 10 days..
The Independent newspaper from Richmond (see below) stated that after her experience on the phone with "Zodiac" on January 4th she left the apartment and went upstairs to a neighbor's apartment until her husband arrived home. The newspaper also stated that Peggy Trainer lived next door to the abduction site. All of these descriptions tally with the four-occupancy apartments at 749 Tormey Avenue, in which Peggy Trainer is described as living behind the address from which Leona Roberts was abducted from on the ground floor. If Leona was visiting 749A Tormey Avenue, Peggy must have lived at 749B Tormey Avenue.
Well, that's what I thought until "The Independent" newspaper on January 5th 1970 and January 7th 1970 reported that Peggy Trainer (18) lived at 180 1/2 Napa Avenue in Rodeo. This address was 800 feet east of 749 Tormey Avenue, wasn't an apartment complex and wasn't "directly behind" or "next door" to the apartment where Leona Roberts went missing. The reporting in "The Independent" newspaper makes no sense whatsoever - and neither does the 180 and a half address.
