I’d like to have a closer look on what is written on

Some interesting circumstances are mentioned with regard to the Vallejo killings:

– Karen was babysitting for Darlene ‘during the months of January through May of 1969’ (so she stopped babysitting approx. two months before her murder)
– Karen recalled an incident in the Ferrin home that took place sometime in February or March 1969. 10:00 pm
– She was looking out the front window of the Ferrin’s apartment, and she noticed a man whom she took to be middle-aged sitting in a white American-made sedan watching the apartment. She stated he was there for several hours but left before Dean returned from work shortly after midnight.
– She stated she could not really describe this individual and only knew he was middle-aged because he either turned on the inside car light or lit a cigarette so that she got a partial look at the man. (middle-aged can be everything..)
– Darlene asked her what the car and the man looked like, and after relating a description to her, Dee said something to the effect, ‘I guess he’s checking up on me again. I heard he was back from out of state.’ (similar to Hartnell’s police report two months later)
– Followed by, ‘He doesn’t want anyone to know what I (meaning Darlene) saw him do. I saw him murder someone.’ (presumably BRS)
– Karen added that "Dee appeared to be genuinely frightened of this individual and mentioned sometime that he had been checking up on her at Terry’s Restaurant where Darlene was employed."
– Karen only came forward with this strange story after rumors about Darlene, and stories about her stalker, had been circulating throughout Vallejo, thanks to the efforts of Darlene’s sisters, Pam and Linda.
– Karen was unable to describe the stranger or remember his name. Husted’s report read, "Karen stated that Dee sometime during this conversation mentioned the man’s name, and that the first name was very short, three or four letters and that the second name was just slightly longer. The name was quite common."
– Police then questioned Darlene’s family, friends and coworkers in an effort to identify the stranger. Some witnesses claimed to recognize Walker as a man who allegedly "spent many hours at the restaurant where Darlene worked as a waitress." (not necessarily of relevance)
– Police then interviewed Darlene’s sisters, Pam and Linda. Both sisters recalled a “painting party” held at Darlene’s home several months before her murder, and a mysterious, well-dressed man who attended and scared Darlene.
– Linda reportedly identified Walker as the sinister stranger but Pam disagreed.
– Police then asked the babysitter, Karen, if she was willing to undergo hypnosis.
– The meeting was recorded with a video camera and a tape recorder (FBI request for this file?).
– Karen was able to recall a general description of the male in his vehicle. The description was a heavy set, middle-aged white male adult, very round face, curly, wavy dark brown hair. The vehicle was a white sedan with a large windshield. She couldn’t recall whether or not the subject had on glasses or whether or not the subject smoked.
– This, imo, is a match to Mageau’s description of a distinctive (very round!) face. It also does match the LB description of hair between Z’s eyes (wavy!) and of Z being ‘heavy set’.
– Karen was, in fact, taking care of Darlene Ferrin’s daughter and three (!) unidentified white males arrived, and that she soon left the residence, due to the fact she was uncomfortable with these strange individuals.
– Despite the fact that Karen claimed that the "three unidentified white males" were "young," later versions of the painting party story would focus on the individual allegedly seen by Steve Baldino and Darlene’s sisters Pam and Linda – a sinister, well-dressed yet older man.
