Thanks Welsh Chappie for your dedication, digging all this up on Kane. Kane sure was a busy guy. I know some of the old timer Z Sleuth’s found him really interesting.
Thanks tmills for posting.

Thanks, Zam. I echo your sentiments regarding WelshChappie.

Continuing. The following notes are taken from a probation report filed ca. 1965 and provide some clarity as to Kane’s behavior during this period –

12-03-1963, Palo Alto, CA – “A security officer of Roos-Atkins department store at the Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto, observed the subject (Kane) enter the store (…) Since subject was carrying a large overcoat and acting strangely, the security officer followed him. The subject left and re-entered the store approximately three to four times. At no time did he remove anything from Roos-Atkins. He was then followed to a nearby toy store, where he stole a toy model and wood roulette wheel. Subject removed the items from a shelf and while walking toward the door placed the items under his coat. He was apprehended approximately fifty yards from the store and placed under arrest. Subject advised police officers he knew what he had done was wrong and could offer no excuses for it. He stated he had plenty of money to buy the roulette wheel.”

09-05-1964, Oak Brook, IL – “Subject (Kane) was arrested for shoplifting at a department store for stealing a clock valued at $50.00. Subject had in his possession a fictitious driver’s license and several traffic tickets from Oakland, California.”

03-27-1965, Menlo Park, CA – "Shoplifting. Pleaded not guilty. Jury trial set 08/25/65."

04-26-1965, Belmont, CA – “Police report indicated that the subject (Kane) was observed prowling about the premises and looking into an apartment window in Belmont. Subject was found guilty of the above offense by court verdict on June 3, 1965. Fined $160.00.” (somewhat notably, and for reasons unknown to me, this particular arrest isn’t included in the FBI file above.)

Kane’s use of the name ‘Barton’ apparently stemmed from his relationship with singer and radio personality Eileen Barton, to whom he was once engaged. Eileen Barton was best known for her 1950 hit song, "If I Knew You Were Comin’, I’d’ve Baked a Cake." She was co-star of the Frank Sinatra Show beginning August of 1944, and was also a regular feature of Sinatra’s Paramount Theater act.

Here’s a January 1968 TV appearance by Eileen Barton: https://youtu.be/gkO9vCFifhQ

She was beautiful with a huge personality.

If Kane was Zodiac, I suspect the breakdown of their relationship would be his motive for preying on carefree young couples.

Interesting about the roulette wheel. The whole Red Mask/By Gun/By Knife/etc relates to using a roulette to determine what killing method to use.

There’s this article in The Record that mentions him, do a search for Kaye in the site’s source to get the full article :

Here’s part of the bit that mentions him:
"Shirley Carmel, who plans to marry singer Johnny Johnston, was reported today with the arrest of a man acquainted with both. ACCOMPLICE SOUGHT Larry Kaye, 28, handsome unem- struction Co. of East Paterson, were ployed salesman, was booked on a dismissed without prejudice by j burglary charge. Judge Reeve for failure of the State Police said Kaye signed a state-to press prosecution. ment admitting complicity in the Joseph Gorman, 501 West 175 Street, New York, was sent to the County Psychopathic Ward for examination."

It mentions his mother too.

It seems the text is generated automatically from the image, so it is a bit incoherent, would need to get access to the image of the article itself.

Didn’t see this particular article mentioned on https://lawrencekane.wordpress.com/ but the investigation itself is mentioned.

Larry Kaye aka Kane, Cane makes for a very good suspect. I spent 10 yrs investigating him because he looked so much like my suspect. It was after Kane had died that I realized my suspect could not be Kane. ( my suspect was still alive) I did interview Dana Lull’s boyfriend and showed him Kane’s picture. He said that he did look very much like the man who took Dana Lull!

Kane had a slightly paralyzed face on the same side as my suspect. He also looks like he had the lazy eye my suspect has. Darlene’s family saw the picture I took of my suspect and said that was Kane. Notice some of Kane’s pictures show eyebrows straight across, other pictures show eyebrows with an arch. How likely is it that he could or would change the shape of his eyebrows?

I also called Kane back in the 1990s and heard the scary recording of a woman screaming!
