Interesting info, what made you checkthat out?

Long time ago I started out researching The Winder’s due to that they were in DF’s phonebook (I have researched most of them) but not until today I found the link to Darlenes father Leo Suennen.

And I have always been interested in the possible Zodiac connection to the SR murders.
Add to that, that I have known for some time that Capt Marty Lee belived that Zodiac lived in or near Santa Rosa.
And of course Fred Manalli living in Sebastopol and working at Santa Rosa Junior College and the fact that belongings to SR murders victim Kim Allen was found in Manalli’s house, drawings of Kim Allem made by Manalli, Kim Allen also attended Santa Rosa Junior College etc..

Here is darlene ferrins father leo Suennen’s obit

NO mention of his parents or possible foster-parents.

Leo Suennen Jr.
Obituary

Leo SUENNEN, JR.

Leo Suennen, Jr. at the age of 83, passed away early on the morning of June 18, 2009, with his loving and devoted wife by his side.

He would want to be remembered for all the wonderful things he took pride in constructing, and the knowledge he shared of the stock market to anyone willing to engage in a conversation with him.

He was born on June 15, 1926 in Oakland, CA. At the age of sixteen he went to work at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, CA as an apprentice. His job was held while he served in the U.S. Navy. During his tour of duty he met and married Norma Jean Hightower "Jeannie" of Texas. They returned to Vallejo and he resumed work for Shop X38 as a machinist. They had ten children and were married for 35 years until she suddenly became ill and passed away. He then met and remarried a wonderful woman Mary Smith. She has been his loving partner and soul mate since 1982 and rarely were apart from one another. He retired after 43 years of Civil Service with honors. They moved to Fernley, NV and built their dream house.

Leo was preceded in death by his oldest daughters, Darlene Ferrin of Vallejo, CA and Linda Bowman of Stockton, CA and his first born son, Leo Suennen, III. He is survived by his caring wife, Mary (three Pomeranians) and his children, Pamela Huckaby of Sandy, OR, Kris Chambers of Sparks, NV, Leo Suennen, IV of Vallejo, CA, Frank Suennen of San Diego, CA, Johanna Suennen of San Diego, CA and numerous grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held Monday, June 22, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley, NV with burial to follow. Funeral arrangements were under the direction of Walton Sparks Funeral Home in Sparks, NV

Don’t forget, in Santa Rosa, a man followed a few women closely trying to get them to pull over. This was a few days before the Johns incident. The police pulled him over,and he was supposedly in his 20’s and from Vallejo.

I also remember that Kathleen Johns, in some interview, stated that the kidnapper (Zodiac) expressed somthing to the effect that he knew somthing about the area where Kathleen was heading, that I assume beeing the Petaluma/Santa Rosa/Sebastopol area.
Also, in the same interview, KJ said that the man said somthing like that he was driving around in between jobs, or somthing to that effect.

Somone have that info?, I can´t find it in my files right now, but I´m 99.99% sure of that the info excist.
