I think the strongest thing for me that points to X was the hood at LB..why disguise?..cause he was known in the area.(in regards to belief X was in fact Z).look at the rest of the known homicides..all dark hours??..exception being LB?..X is a definite worthy POI..but explicit link like all things Z is the difficult dilemma..

I wouldn’t think you would need to be a public figure to use a disguise when committing a double murder in broad daylight. The LB assailant had quite a bit of distance to traverse back to his car, so that seems motive enough to employ some sort of head covering.

Hi-

Sure it could be coincidence. But what about the possibility that KQ was driving around LB and came upon a couple in a car he knew he had imported and that is what caught his attention. It was a VW with Oregon plates. That screams "Riviera Motors." KQ used to autograph cars that had special meaning to his career. He did so at luxury car shows. What other killer had ever autographed a car? Where did Z get that idea from? KQ can explain that behavior. Zodiac autographed a car that had a special significance to KQ’s career by autographing a VW. KQ made tons of money selling them. Just read Lunches. What other suspect was known to autograph cars in black felt tip and in white ink (in one instance)? Only KQ, right?

KQ and Z behaved similarly. Both wrote on cars. Both used Monarch sized paper. Both sought front page attention, KQ some 20 years before there was a Zodiac. I am still waiting for someone to tell me the name of another suspect who ever was known to write even one letter on Monarch sized paper. KQ did to me–twice.

I didn’t try to imply that KQ went out looking for cars he had imported and that he kills people in those cars. But I am saying that when he stumbled onto them, like the possible Jag on LHR and Hartnell’s VW, they caught his attention.

If Hartnell’s car was a Ford Galaxy, does he move on? Unlikely. I don’t think the car made a difference one way or the other. You view the world with KQ glasses sometimes.

An auction of KQ’s horses at the Oakville stud farm was announced in the Napa Valley Register on the day before the LB attack.

And that Sept 26th, 1969 note, about the auction, said that the actual auction would be held Oct 10th 1969,

the day before the murder of Paul Stine oct 11th, 1969. 

Yeah, I did a spit take when I saw that. Though I have no idea what to make of it.
