It appears as if Z had used a silencer?
IT WAS NOT LOUD.
is his statement about the shots.

Also Z walked away casually. Isn’t that strange? I mean there is a guy, he comes..waiting. Then leaves. Five minutes later – I guess he picked up his gun or/and his flashlight – he arrives back and shoots them. With a silencer. And then, he casually walks away.
I mean…what is this? This is so strange..besides the fact that he ran around as a killer…this behaviour..
1. Owning a silencer
2. Waiting for a minute directly next to them
3. Leaving for five minutes to get his gun, a silencer and a flashlight
4. Coming back, shooting them repeatedly, walking back as he hears they are still alive
5. And then casually walking away?
Very big hmmm…how weirdo is that? It rather reminds me of a professional KGB killer instead of a psycho..just he did not remove the labels from their clothes..
SUBJECT APPEARED TO BE SHORT, POSSIBLY 5’8”, WAS REAL HEAVY SET, BEEFY BUILD. NOT BLUBBERY BUT REAL BEEFY, PROBABLY 195 TO 200 OR MAYBE EVEN LARGER. SHORT CURLY HAIR, LIGHT BROWN, ALMOST BLOND. FACE APPEARED TO BE LARGE. NO MUSTACHE, NO GLASSES. NOTHING UNUSUAL EXCEPT THAT HE HAD A LARGE FACE. 26-30 YEARS.
And this time his car was light brown.

Well, that is actually a nice description..I know, I know, fits to many people..but this might lead to some assumptions we had not yet before..
Sandy had no curly hair, did he? So we must assume that he eventually could be ruled out as a suspect (although still responsible for the Domingos/Edwards). Then again we should forget about the classical Z sketch, rather the Lake Berryessa sketch would work – although that one had no curly hair either. CJB suspect had a beard, too…unusual for this one as well. Away with the glasses, Z had none of those in Blue Rock Springs. At night. How did Coleman and Reed actually look like?
And: It took Z only five minutes to drive away. Get his gun, with the silencer on it, and his flashlight. He had known the area I’d say, otherwise he probably would not have been at this ‘hot spot’ Blue Rock Springs or at least he would have taken longer. And he was about the same age.
Joe Stine could be ruled out as he had no large face and rather reddish hair. Crew cut with curly light brown hair and a large face? Maybe we should browse the Vallejo High School yearbook a bit more..
HAVING THE HEADLIGHTS ON…STATES HE RECALLS SOMETHING ABOUT POSSIBLY FLASHING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF TO ATTRACT ATTENTION OF PASSING VEHICLES.
Why? Drugs? Prostitution?
THERE WERE SOMETIMES PETTY JEALOUSIES BETWEEN HER AND HER FRIENDS.
okay..
…MAGEAU WHERE HE HAD BEEN ARRESTED FOR PETTY THEFT AT THE PURITY STORE ON SPRINGS RD…MICHAEL HAD GIVEN THE ALIAS WILLIAM JAMES JANSSEN…
Okaaay..so Mageau had stolen something just a few months ago? From a store close-by to Blue Rock Springs? With the killer’s car driving into that direction…Purity Store on Springs Rd…anybody some information about that one?
Established in the San Francisco area in 1929, this chain operated at least as far south as Fresno and as far north as Fort Bragg, although most of its stores were along the coast, many of them in small towns. The owners, the Niven family, liquidated the chain in 1972 and now operate a Nothern California winery. The Fort Bragg location was still operating as the last remaining Purity store, with original signage in place, as late as 2003.

Some infos about the Purity stores’ locations:
803 Steward Street, Sonora
1825 Salvio Street in Concord, later became the Concord Coliseum.
Arcata
San Rafael
Napa
Hayward
Georgia Street, Vallejo
1644, Grant Avenue
242, Franklin Street, Mendocino
And finally we do get a description of where Z had been when he called..
I WANT TO REPORT A DOUBLE MURDER. IF YOU WILL GO 1 MILE EAST ON COLUMBUS PARKWAY TO THE PUBLIC PARK YOU WILL FIND THE KIDS IN A BROWN CAR.
How crazy is that…he is telling them to go 1 mile EAST? EAST? So he is one mile WEST or what? Or at least he does know where the police headquarter is? Well….Columbus Parkway he knows, too? The police headquarter is about five miles away and so is Darlene’s home…hmmm. Imo Z described where he actually WAS or usually had been..
In fact Z had been at a phone booth on Springs Road, which is 1-2 miles away from Blue Rock Springs.
And then we got this little piece of information…
So here again the shots have been loud? Strange..
And we got this one..
Neat dresser? Short hair and stocky? Dark hair?
Kentwicks? Or is it Kentwigs Lanes? Latter is very close to the Maritime Academy and the enlisted men’s club..
Thoughts. Maybe anybody of you still can remember this bar? And people being involved there?

HAVING THE HEADLIGHTS ON…STATES HE RECALLS SOMETHING ABOUT POSSIBLY FLASHING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF TO ATTRACT ATTENTION OF PASSING VEHICLES.

I believe it was to get the attention of the kids who found them.
In regards to a silencer…there could have been. Without the gun, we just don’t know. If the golf course caretaker did hear shots, I think that eliminates the idea of a silencer. And like Soze says…he was just shot in the face. A 9mm is loud, not doubt about it, but who knows how you’d remember the sound after an incident like that.
