I get the feeling none of the suspects is the murderer. I also am under the distinct impression that this guy lived in Vallejo or somewhere in Solano County and grew up in that area or lived there for a significant period of time. I was interested to know if it is possible and if so has it ever been attempted to use a computer database to try and filter out a list of possible people. The Vallejo population in 1970 was listed at a little over 60,000. Is there enough data remaining or acquired to begin with to throw all these people in and take out just the white males. Then, of course, take everyone from say 26-45 or so. Take out the singles. Owners of cars. Lower incomes. Maybe prior military personnel (though I think this animal was not prior military, but a wannabe enthusiast type maybe). Then maybe everyone with a criminal record. Maybe, if possible, further dwindle those records down to ASPD type offenses (violence, burglary, etc.). If it were possible maybe traffic citations in late night hours. And any other information that could be factored out and see what kind of list you get.
I know this is not ground breaking stuff and is very basic analytic stuff. Just was interested to know.
Thank you
Sound like a fair idea…just don’t know how that would be done.

Thanks. Just an idea. Like I said, nothing earth shattering, just a basic analysis to see if anything might shake loose. Don’t know if any of that kind of data was collected or if it still remains. I’m sure the census for 1970 has some of it.
