I should be annoyed at this latest ‘stumbling block’ i’ve just come across, but I am starting to expect it now when it come’s to trying to dig into Kane’s past. However, this does not make sense at all and if readers have two min’s spare, i would appreciate them trying the the same thing I just did so I can confirm that other people are directed to the same place I was. Rite….
According to Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery’s online detail’s/record’s for their decetant ‘Lawrence Cane’, he is listed and recorded as follows..
Name: Cane, Lawrence.
DOB: 04/26/1924.
Died: 05/20/2010.
All simple enough so far. But! Scroll down his online death record’s and click ‘View Obituaries’, and he is now listed as follows
Name: Lawrence Cane
Birth: 29 Apr 1924
Death: 19 May 2010
Apparantly, Kane seem’s to have not been content with passing away just the once, on May 19th 2010, and so he decided that he would also pass away the day after also on the May 20th as it was more convenient, maybe? Lol, i’m making a joke of it but how can the Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery not have known, or spotted, that his obituary details are not the details that they proport on their own site as a matter of public record? I’m beginning to wonder if Kane wasn’t such a slippery character with many aliases, ID’s, moving around often, because he was associating with organized crime figures like Dorfman and was himself, shady, I honestly am now wondering if Kane/Cane was a top FBI informant? I mean, my initial thought’s of his various Name changes and DOB’s etc was, ‘Well, that would be expected of a man who may know organized crime figures. But now, sitting back and looking at it, it seem’s not only plausable, but maybe likely because…
1991, Vallejo PD submit a request to SFPD and Benicia PD for copies of Lawrence Kane’s finger print’s for comparison, and they also ask the FBI for his print’s, should they have them. The document states that, the SFPD & Benicia PD had not responded to Vallejo PD’s request, and that was why they submitted the request to the FBI. Now, the same thing was asked of the FBI regarding Arthur Leigh Allen’s print’s and a comparison requested, and the document is still in the FBI archive, along with a respondent document stating they had conducted the comparison with Negative results. Kane’s submittal I have been saying for months now, is odd. The document requesting Kane’s print’s is there in the online archive, and then…..Nothing. I have gone through every file and cannot find a reply as you would expect, such as in Arthur Allen’s case, stating the comparison had been carried out, and what the results were. The FBI document finishes with a statement by Vallejo PD saying ‘If no print’s can be located within any of the agencies we have requested, then we (Vallejo PD) plan to arrest the suspect (Kane) because he was found to be in possession of a fraudlent drivers licence and obtain his finger prints this way’. Again, no follow up was mentioned. it would be interesting to know why it is that none of these LE divisions seem to have Kane’s prints when they were requested considering Kane had a fairly extensive police record, and was certainlly arrested and charged in 1968 as the mug shot shows.
I’m wondering if Kane didn’t just happen to land a job with a known Mobster, but rather he was sent to the Sarhara Hotel Casino by the FBI to gather intelligence on Dorfman’s activities? This may be why he was able to be booked in, processed and released as ‘Kane’, if Kane wasn’t his name. He also seem’s to have used ‘Kane’ while residing in S.F, and started using ‘Cane’ as soon as he left San Francisco. If he was an informant, then depending on how valuable his info and services were to the operation the FBI were using him in (I know the Feds tried for years to gather evidence to being Dorfman down before he actually was), then that may explain his ease at giving incorrect details It may explain why no reply can be found regarding Kane and his prints in FBI files etc.
Anyway, just a theory. So, finally, back to what i originally asked. Could others try doing this (i’ll provide the link below) and see if the result’s they get are the same?

Scroll down to ‘View Obiuaries’, click it and compare the info and details to see if they, like my attemp, came back totally different.
Cheers.
Then, in San Mateo, 1968 Kane was arrested, booked into custody and charged with whatever it was he’d done, and he’s clearly being processed and booked in as KANE (This is evident by his book in mug shot and his holding the board up stating ‘SAN MATEO, ID 58222. KANE’. How is it that someone, who appears for all intent and purposes, is called ‘Cane’, can fool a police station and it’s staff as to who he is? I mean did they not have his print’s on record, either?

Kane is one of my top suspects for sure!! I wonder if there is any possible way to find out if he was, in fact, an FBI informant. That would certainly explain a lot!!

It would. It would explain how he seemed to have many different aliases. It would explain why he seemed to move around so often using different names for different places (San Francisco-Lawrence Kane. Tahoe, Nevada-Lawrence Cane. New York City-Lawrence Klein etc). It would also explain why when, in 1991, the Vallejo PD requested Kane’s prints, they were unsuccessful.
As for "I wonder if there is any possible way to find out if he was, in fact, an FBI informant." I don’t think the FBI would tell us even now that he is dead. If you asked then, say in a FOIA request, they would more likely claim he had never worked for them, or claim it’s classified under National Security.
In my own opinion, after extensive, unbiased research into all the top suspect, I believe Lawrence Kane was and is the Zodiac.
"So it’s sorta social. Demented and sad, but social, right?" Judd Nelson.
Yeah, I would be shocked if someone asked and the FBI said he was an informant. IMO they would either not answer the question, or say "no" even if he was.

I bet Larry would have gotten a kick out of people thinking he was an FBI informant. 
“…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep.“ L.A. Times, 1969
Kane is on my list but I’d be very surprised to learn the FBI used a permanently brain-injured informant. 
When in doubt, don’t.
I often wonder if some FBI and/or police offers have had brain injuries themselves!

What would his Brain Injury have to do with anything? You think that if, lets say, Kane knew a few shady people and could get close to someone like Alan Dorfman (who the FBI had been trying to get evidence against for years), that the FBI would say ‘No Thank you. We see here you had a Brain Injury a few years ago?’ The FBI wouldn’t give it a second thought, if they have the chance to gather evidence on a mafia associate, who they have been trying for years to get evidence against, they wouldn’t care who the source was if that source wore a wire, for example.
I’m not saying Kane was an informant anyway, just saying that it’s a possibility and would explain many things about him. For example, the Vallejo PD stated that "Kane was in possession of a fraudulent drivers licence" when they spoke to him (Kane Probably tried to give it to them as ID). The Vallejo PD went on to say that if SFPD an Benica PD don’t reply to their request to obtain Kane’s prints, then Vallejo PD would arrest Kane on the Fraudulent Licence Charge and obtain his prints that way. Theres no record of Vallejo PD getting Kane’s prints from the FBI, SFPD or any other agency, nor can I find an arrest for Kane/Cane on the drivers licence charge.
