Is it true that Allen was about to be arrested and charged with the Zodiac murders but died right before the arrest was going to happen? I know I read or saw a video about it somewhere, but can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Balwart (whose name I probably just spelled wrong) said something to that effect in the documentary "His name was Arthur Leigh Allen" which was included as a special feature on Fincher’s Zodiac DVD (it is on youtube). I think there must be more to that story because they didn’t have much to go to court with. It sounds like they may have been attempting to get an arrest warrant but I don’t think one had been granted. I would like to hear some veteran opinions though about whether they actually could have made an arrest.

Very briefly, here is what happened:

Officer George Bawart had shown Michael Mageau a photo line-up for zodiac, Michael Mageau picked out Allen’s picture.

This led Officer George Bawart to begin to get things in motion for investigating and charging allen.

Though Allen had a heart attack before further investigation or charges could occur.

Thanks for clearing that up. I couldn’t recall the details or where I had seen it before.

For sure.

I am not a "veteran" in study of the zodiac case though, quite the opposite, it’s only been a number of months, so if I made any mistakes please feel free to correct them.

Bawart also became very suspicious of Don Cheney, he wanted cheney to come in for a lie detector test, but cheney had been drinking too much the night before and could not take it.

I am fairly certain this as all discussed in the his name was Arthur Leigh Allen documentary, but it has also been a while since I have watched the film.

I feel that the ·This is the zodiac speaking and ·His name was Arthur Leigh allen documentaries are crucial when researching this case. Actually, I should probably re-watch them soon, I seem to obtain new insight into the case with each subsequent viewing, plus, it never hurts to refresh ones memory.

Honestly, I would look into Don Cheney before Allen.

Just to refresh everybody’s memory it May be helpful to list the means by which Allen was discounted, and then discuss them. This way we can determine if allen was legitimately discounted.

Do we have any photos of Cheney from that time? I’ve only seen him much older.

Trifecta, DNA – Fingerprints/palmprint/hand writing, however all seem weak other than the palm print.

I can not find any. Though I have heard that he did look similar to the descriptions of zodiac.

I want to know more about cheney in General.

Hmmm…

Is there a link that you know of that goes into great detail regarding these methods which discounted Allen? I am not sure if I have ever fully reviewed them.
