ZODIAC AT SMITTLE CREEK

7/31/2019

 
The Zodiac Killer made a payphone call near the corner of Main and Clinton Streets approximately seventy minutes after the brutal knife attack on Cecelia Shepard and Bryan Hartnell by the shores of Lake Berryessa. He uttered these words to relief police dispatcher David Slaight: "I want to report a murder, no, a double murder. They are two miles north of Park Headquarters. They were in a white Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. I'm the one that did it". It always seemed odd that the Zodiac Killer could be so wide of the mark concerning the distance he attributed between the crime scene and Park Headquarters, when it was only 0.7 miles. The Zodiac Killer, a man of maps and codes, surely couldn't have mistaken 0.7 miles for 2 miles driving along Knoxville Road - leading to the notion that the 2 mile attribution was accidentally inserted into his payphone message, but the distance had some significance. That significance being, that the Zodiac Killer didn't enter his vehicle at the crime scene, but further north along Knoxville Road. He may have entered his vehicle at the Smittle Creek Day Use Area which is 1.83 miles (approx 2 miles) north of Park Headquarters. When he made the payphone call he accidentally inserted the distance he traveled in his vehicle to Park Headquarters rather than from the crime scene. There were two sightings of a suspicious man at Smittle Creek to back up this very notion. If we can place the Zodiac Killer at this location twice in one day, described by two sets of eyewitnesses, then we may be in business.  

The white circle on Knoxville Road below (as the crow flies) is exactly 0.8 miles north from the vehicle of Bryan Hartnell and exactly 2 miles north of 5100 Knoxville Road (A&W Root Beer stand). This is extremely important because the police report stated that the three women who spotted a suspicious man observing them from the hillside "parked their vehicle at a location two miles north of the A & W Root Beer stand on Knoxville Road". This was followed by a second suspicious sighting of a man by Dr Rayfield & Son just over 2 hours later. They described a "white male adult subject walking in the area, about 5'10", heavy build, wearing dark trousers, a dark shirt with red in it, long sleeves". This sighting likely after the attack on the young couple and described in the police report as a "location approximately 8/10ths of a mile from the scene of the victim's vehicle".  Two sightings in the identical area, alongside Smittle Creek Trailhead.
Picture
There is every chance that this was the Zodiac Killer, who had originally targeted the three female students of Pacific Union College, before aborting his attack and later settling on Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard only 0.8 miles south. The man stalking the hillside while the girls were sunbathing eventually retreated for whatever reason, and his vehicle had vanished when the girls returned to their vehicle at approximately 4:30 pm. It is perfectly conceivable he entered his vehicle at the Smittle Creek Trailhead (shown by the yellow circle) and drove just 600 meters north to the Smittle Creek Day Use Area. He may have deemed that having his vehicle in such close proximity to a triple murder was probably not the wisest move, and relocated it several hundred meters up the road to provide a cautionary 'buffer zone'. Whether his intention was to return a short while later to complete his mission cannot be ascertained, because the girls had thwarted any intentions by leaving shortly after. 

If the Zodiac Killer had parked at the Smittle Creek Day Use Area, left it there, and trawled the hillsides of Lake Berryessa traveling south, while looking for potential victims, then on his return from the attack on Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard he would have to pass by Dr Rayfield & Son at Smittle Creek Trailhead to reach his vehicle. That is why they spotted a suspicious man traveling across the upper reaches of the hillside sometime after 6:30 pm, wearing a shirt with red in it. The Zodiac Killer traveled a further 600 meters to the Smittle Creek Day Use Area, got in his vehicle and drove 1.83 miles south along Knoxville Road past the Park Headquarters. When he reached the payphone at Napa he mistakenly described this distance of 1.83 miles as "two miles north of Park Headquarters", accidentally giving away the location of where he parked his vehicle on September 27th 1969. Or maybe he was just terrible at distances - but great at cryptograms, codes, maps and radians. We all have to be bad at something.

Many people once they have bought a reliable model of car, buy an updated version of that model. In 1968 Robert Connelly, Frank Gasser and Bingo Wesner described a 4-door hardtop, a '59 or '60 Impala. If this belonged to Zodiac, could he have traded it in for another Chevrolet Impala before the Berryessa attack. The biggest clue to the vehicle the suspect was driving at Lake Berryessa and spotted by all three girls was the colour of the vehicle described as a [1] "late model silver-blue Chevrolet, 2-door", [2] "vehicle described as a 1966 or 1967 light blue Chevrolet with California plates. Witness believes the vehicle was a 2-door" and "vehicle was described as a late model Chevrolet, sky blue in color. The rear taillights appeared to be long rather than round". So we are looking for a late model 2-door Chevrolet, with long taillights and a colour that could match sky blue, light blue and silver-blue. If we search the colour specs that Chevrolet's were manufactured in during 66, 67, 68 and 69, the 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS 427ci / 385hp fits the bill. It came in Nantucket Blue, which can be described as sky blue, light blue or silver-blue. It is late model, has long taillights and a rear window extremely tilted, which gives the impression of a tinted window because of how the sun catches it. The girls described a tinted window. Here is the 1967 Chevrolet Impala.

With a base price of around 3,000 dollars, if he bought this vehicle in 1969 would this tell us anything about his income or type of profession? The average income in the USA in 1969 was 6,500 dollars, and the average price for a new car approximately 2,000 dollars. Of course, average income is usually artificially distorted by millionaires and billionaires, so the average for the normal Joe, I suspect would be a lot lower.

Mike Mageau described a small car which a Chevy Impala is definetely not. Neither a 58' nor 67' model.
When he really bought a 67' Impala in 1969 he probably bought a used car as the Impala of the model year 69' was available since autumn 1968.
When the car was a top of the line Impala SS model year 67 it would tell us that Zodiac was a car guy who loved to drive a high powered macho mobile but had not enough bucks to get the latest model. There is a type of serial killers described by profilers (e.g. John E. Douglas) loving macho mobiles.

Richard
8/1/2019 02:37:14 pm

I can imagine Zodiac having a decent car of the type described above - but with regards to BRS, I think most people don't put much faith in the recollections of Michael Mageau. He understandably couldn't be expected to recall much detail about the crime, and why should he, with four bullets having struck him.

Often - criminals will steal a car commit their crime then dump the car.

Richard
8/2/2019 12:32:51 am

That is perfectly conceivable BB, but until I know otherwise I'm making the assumption the vehicle he drove was his. The only reason I am assuming this, was the contention that he may have moved his vehicle slightly north from where he had parked it by the three young girls - and possibly had intended to return on foot to reconsider an attack on the women. The reason for moving his vehicle therefore could lie in not wanting it present in the location of a triple murder in daylight. This would obviously have been unnecessary had the vehicle been stolen and dumped shortly afterwards. This is conjecture on my part BB, and of course vehicles are stolen in the commission of crimes, but hanging around Lake Berryessa for over three hours with a stolen car in tow, also carries risk that having your own vehicle wouldn't. The moving of the vehicle from the area of the young girls, yet still remaining in that general vicinity (later noted by Dr Rayfield & Son) could suggest he moved his vehicle to distance it from any potential attack site. Somebody you are more likely to do if the vehicle was owned by you.

Richard

These two sightings in the same general area by the three girls and Dr Rayfield were deemed significant enough by police to incorporate into the police report and create a sketch of the subject, that within days featured in the newspapers. Never once in the following weeks or even to this day have the police ever stated that this man certainly wasn't the Zodiac Killer - or for that matter confirmed he was the Zodiac Killer. This leads me to believe they never compared the bootprints from the subject viewed by the 3 girls to the bootprints from the actual crime scene. It also tells me they never compared the bootprints from the subject viewed by Dr Rayfield to the bootprints from the actual crime scene. The subject (if Zodiac) would have plastered his bootprints all over that hillside by Smittle Creek and a simple comparison would have told us whether this subject was Zodiac or not. More importantly, it would have increased the credibility and importance of the sketch as it relates to Zodiac. Are people really of the belief that this routine piece of detective work was overlooked by police. Because if these bootprints were compared and ruled out this subject as Zodiac, then they wouldn't have run the sketches in the newspaper pondering on whether it was Zodiac or not.If the bootprints matched, then surely this would have been vital information to release accompanying the sketch, thereby adding validity to it and making it a more relevant sighting. The fact the police did neither and to this day we still don't know whether the subject viewed by the 3 girls is Zodiac or not, strongly indicates the bootprints from the crime scene were not compared to the bootprints at Smittle Creek. If so, that has to be categorized as a major blunder by investigating officers. These are the sort of questions that Zodiac researchers should have put to the likes of Ken Narlow years ago, because they have great bearing on the case. The police in the 2007 documentary should also have been questioned on this issue, but instead we get the same questions being fed to these individuals time and time again. To know that sketch was a depiction of the Zodiac Killer in daylight from three eyewitnesses only yards away, would tell us so much about the Presidio Heights sketch also. But rest assured, crucial questions like this will never be asked and we will never find the answer.

Richard

And crucially, if the bootprints from the man spotted by Dr. Rayfield & Son had matched the ones from the crime scene, it would unequivocally have proven that the Zodiac Killer didn't park his vehicle by the Karmaan Ghia of Bryan Hartnell. It would have changed the whole dynamics of what is commonly believed to be the events that occurred on September 27th 1969.

Finding any bootprints in that area around the Lake is problematic at best. Was it reported that the man observed by the girls and the Dr. left identifiable footprints?. I have been to Lake Berryessa many times and those hills are covered with dry grass and Manzanita brush. One could stomp all over those hills and not leave any bootprints at all. The banks of the lake are barren of any foiliage and the only area around the water line capable of yeilding any bootprints would be areas where moisture was present. The dirt banks are rock hard.

Richard
8/3/2019 08:00:27 am

There was no mention they ever looked for identifiable bootprints at the areas of the sightings of the 3 girls or Dr.Rayfield. The police managed to find bootprints extending from the shores of Berryessa, all the way up the hill to Bryan Hartnell's vehicle, so unless the ground was vastly different up the road, why wouldn't they find one bootprint from the locations detailed by the three girls and Dr.Rayfield. It just strikes me as contradictory and a little puzzling Tom.

Good points
This all has me thinking

I want to report a murder, no, a double murder

This kinda sounds like he may of had knowledge of the girls' death.
And of the boys' living. Then remembers that he was not supposed to know that. Then quickly edits throwing-in [no, a double murder.].
This would lend further circumstantial points of his being a cop.
Along with the boots and the clean hair cut perhaps military police.
What was the M.O.S. of Jim Phillips, and other suspects?

Richard
8/2/2019 10:35:25 pm

When Zodiac made the phone call BB, there had actually been no murder yet, because Cecelia Shepard didn't die of her wounds until 2 days later.

Drew
8/2/2019 07:21:20 pm

Great work Richard! Fantastic observations and logic. I completely agree about the importance of comparing the prints. We do know however that we do not have all of the Napa reports so here's hoping they actually did perform these routine tests before they gave the sketch to Walter Cronkite.

I hear you on the blunder theory though. Obviously it could offer invaluable insight to the case and it is a little hard to believe that Graysmith never got a hold of the match if there was one and Narlow never mentioned it in any of his interviews. Unlike some details confirming multiple sightings doesn't seem like the kind of evidence they would hold back when they are trying to involve the public in the search.

I like the blue Chevy theory. I know you have given a lot of thought to Zodiac walking to the phone booth but I think it is worth considering that he actually was spotted by the phone booth and imagined that the person had come forward with information about his blue car. By giving credence to Mageau's incorrect description of brown he would have given the police the impression that Mageau was correct and the caucasian man who gave the report in early July must have been wrong either about it being Zodiac or the car being blue.

I've got a lot of catching up to do with your articles here Richard but I really appreciate your keen thoughts on this one! The whole San Jose thing is bang on too!

cheers

Richard

I'm not a closed book on the BRS payphone call, so the idea he was driving the blue Chevrolet on July 4th is a worthy consideration Drew. The other consideration is the Kathleen Johns abduction (although questioned). She too described her abductor's vehicle as late model, American made, 2-door, with old style California plates. She also described the sporty cente console with lever style transmission and black bucket seats. The Chevrolet SS 427 came with these features, but she described a light tan or brownish vehicle. Could she be mistaken, could he have had a respray after Berryessa, could he have switched vehicles again, or could he have more than one vehicle. Either way, late model, bucket seats, sporty centre console with cigarette lighter, tinted rear window (optional), 2-door, long taillights were present in a 1967 SS 427 and 327 Chevrolet Impala. There were very few made (only about 2,000 in 1967) and it was certainly a powerful vehicle befitting of the Zodiac ego. Couldn't have imagined him driving a routine family vehicle! In terms of the bootprints, the police seemed unsure of whether the sighting of the 3 girls was Zodiac or not, seemingly suggesting that two sets of bootprints were never compared. Informing the public that the two sightings were connected certainly could have concentrated the publics mind. All the newspaper cuttings I've read suggest there is no definitive answer, and no police report I've read has intimated comparisons were considered, despite extensive mention of the crime scene bootprints and tire track measurements by officers. I cannot see the benefit of holding back this sort of information when attempting to engage the public, as you suggest - certainly not 50 years after the fact, when we are still none the wiser. I am fairly confident they saw Zodiac that day. Two suspicious sightings in virtually the same area inside of 3 hours, two girls describing a hanging white T-shirt or white belt could easily have been washing line cord. They described similar clothing and weight, along with hair long enough to be viewed through the eyelets of a mask. He seemingly waited in his vehicle for at least 30 minutes in hot weather, as though he was preparing for an attack, possibly weighing up his strategy. He was seen hovering 40-50 feet away, similar in fashion to the suspect by the tree with Shepard and Hartnell. Then he may have been seen again after the attack at Twin Oaks, with another similar description and shirt with red in it. This also somewhere in the region of Smittle Creek. Three unusual sets of activity, all inside of three hours on the same day. As the Zodiac film said - do the math.

Nice to see you back - are you getting a bit Zodiac weary Drew or just having a deserved break.

Richard
8/2/2019 11:33:30 pm

Oh, and one girl described a man who favoured one leg over the other, with Donald Fouke two weeks later describing a lumbering gait, like a semi-limp. Both sets of eyewitnesses from Berryessa and Presidio described similar clothing of a more conservative, old-fashioned style, more befitting of a middle aged man.

Richard
8/2/2019 11:45:09 pm

Here is the vehicle and colour the girls could have described as ice, sky, light or silver blue. Nantucket Blue was a factory production colour.

I am a bit Zodiac weary Richard and my tolerance is gone for the bickering on other sites (can't we all just agree that we are all wrong and no one knows who Zodiac is and never ever will?) but mostly I am just awful busy as I have taken on a second job and I am trying not to ignore my loved ones when I do have time off. My girlfriend thinks Zodiac is a waste of time (how dare she!) and our four cats have never understood my commitment to the research, which is fine because I don't understand their obsession with each other's butts.

I have been keeping up with a lot of your posts and glancing at the other sites every once in a while but once I start making comments I get hooked in and I'm gone for the rest of the night so I am trying to not to get too engaged too often.

I think your San Jose theory is fantastic but I haven't had time to fully dive into it yet and once I do I will be hurled down the newspaper.com rabbit hole. It is amazing when some of these pieces do finally fit together! I'll bend your ear about that when the world slows down a bit.

Thanks for your endless efforts Richard. It's hard to extend the conversation on LB but this line of thinking with the other sightings and various autos potentially involved is very interesting. I'll be back soon!

Take care Richard!

The one thing I have never understood Drew (and this isn't blaming anyone) but Ronald Henry Fong, the boatman who sought help for the stricken couple, was by all accounts a regular on the lake. When he answered the cries of Bryan Hartnell he travelled 3.7 miles west to the Rancho Monticello Resort, who contacted Park Headquarters. Yet, Park Headquarters was only 0.7 miles east by boat. So why did he head away from Park Headquarters which would seem to be the obvious choice, being 3 miles closer and not a resort.

Shawn
8/3/2019 07:02:30 am

"he travelled 3.7 miles west to the Rancho Monticello Resort"

That is an interesting question. Why there and not directly Park Headquarters?

Some possible reasons? Fong did not go to the shore to help them, so maybe thought they were faking it but reported it anyways.

Fong got scared after seeing the scene and was not thinking straight.

BTW....Did you say witnesses reported a man about the age of 40 at LB?


Richard
8/3/2019 08:07:05 am

Yes, here on page 8 of the police report, the 3 girls described a man approximately 40 years of age.

http://www.zodiackiller.com/LBReport8.html

And yes, Ronald Fong may not have been thinking straight, or may not have been familiar with Park Headquarters.

8/3/2019 08:18:34 pm

Park headquarters was probably not staffed at all times throughout the day. He knew he would be able to make contact with someone at the resort.

Have thought of the Zodiac wanting to
kill the three girls in tribute to the Mikado?

Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school

Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school

Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school

One little maid is a bride, Yum-Yum
Two little maids in attendance come
Three little maids is the total sum
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school

From three little maids take one away
Two little maids remain, and they
Won't have to wait very long, they say
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school

Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school

Peep-bo is the English version of peek-a-boo, and has a curious, albeit likely unintentional connection to the Lake Berryessa murder of Cecelia Shepard, in the nursery rhyme Little Bo-Peep.
​"The earliest record of this rhyme is in a manuscript of around 1805, which contains only the first verse. There are references to a children's game called "bo-peep", from the 16th century, including one in Shakespeare's King Lear (Act I Scene iv), for which "bo-peep" is thought to refer to the children's game of peek-a-boo, but no evidence that the rhyme existed earlier than the 18th century. The additional verses are first recorded in the earliest printed version in a version of Gammer Gurton's Garland or The Nursery Parnassus in 1810". Peep-bo was one of the three little maids from The Mikado: "Three little maids from school are we, pert as a school-girl well can be, filled to the brim with girlish glee, three little maids from school."

Three young girls from Pacific Union College would feature in the Zodiac story of Lake Berryessa that day, when describing a suspicious individual roaming the hillsides surrounding the lake- later providing a sketch of the individual.
Little Bo-Peep was a shepherdess, so its significance to the name of Cecelia Shepard could not be ignored, although likely accidental. "She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye, and over the hillocks went rambling, and tried what she could, as a shepherdess should, to tack each again to its lambkin"
