Can I add this one ? copy write is only 40 yrs

What I see here is a new student trying to avoid having her picture taken , she is staring at the back of a school book and hanging her head , trying her best to stay out of it . which seems odd .I would think she would know it might be used in the school newspaper or like and welcome that chance, if just to show her family . I see it as a photo of Cheri B not a Library photo

And the student taking it ,could not find a better use of a Sunday night than go to his school and take a generic photo of the library ,like that was the only time he could . Sunday night was the best TV programs of the week in the 60’s , with most all businesses closed ,way more than presently it was a partying time too for the younger set.

I think it wasvery possible that more than the killer was involved that night

It looks like she was just reading from a legal pad. Probably had no idea the photographer was even taking that shot, or was directed by the photographer to be candid and not look at the camera. As for why they would be there…who knows, but it appears as if it was a pretty full library so it wasn’t just them. Could even be the night before a big final exam and they were all there to cram, or possibly even a set up photo op for the school so they asked certain students to go….could be any number of reasons.

I think it was before mid-terms and Cheri had gone to the library to get some books for a paper she had due as she’d misplaced some research notes and had called someone (may have been a friend she knew from the bank) to ask if they’d seen her notes.

Further, I read somewhere that this photo had been taken for the yearbook.

If the photo was taken for the yearbook, it would make sense that the photographer would be standing where he could get the best shot and Cheri just happened to be sitting where she was and was told to not look at the camera and just appear as if she was studying. She looks like someone who is really concentrating on whatever it was she was reading imo.

Yeah, the pic above was NOT taken the night of her murder

It’s been awhile since I was at RCC but the very first picture looks like the foyer section of the library where I found the zodiac like cipher carved into a wooden desk in February of 1968. The open door on the left side of the photo is the main door to the library. She was murdered outside less than 150 feet due north from this location. In 1968 there were only a handful of desks parked out in the foyer and the lighting was very bad. I get the creeps just thinking about this.
Soon I plan to drive through Riverside and I plan to stop at RCC and take photos of the interior of the library. Not sure if access is still possible since I don’t know if that part of the building is still open for public use.
In the photo I believe we are looking towards the south entrance. Directly behind the photo’s view there is an entrance that opens into the interior of the quadrangle and I believe another entrance that opens to the street on the east side of the building. At the time the desk that contained the cipher was against the wall directly in front of the library main doorway. Well placed for someone to observe everything inside the library without being noticed.
Her car was parked in the parking lot northwest of the quadrangle so I don’t believe she used the south entrance as she would have to walk clear around the building to use that entrance. She probably either used the east side entrance or she entered the quadrangle from the west side, walked through the interior plaza of the quadrangle’s and then entered through the library foyer entrance.

… where I found the zodiac like cipher carved into a wooden desk in February of 1968.

Well that’s a little creepy. What made it "zodiac like"? What else (if anything) do you remember about it?

I put in a post on this forum called "Cipher on an RCC desk February 1968". In it I wrote everything I could remember. It was a zodiac cipher carved into a wooden desk top in the foyer of the RCC library. At the time (1968) no one had ever heard of the zodiac let alone any of his ciphers. I’m convinced that it was from him and that he carved the cipher while he was waiting for her to leave the library.
