A few points-

Greg Vaio was not her boyfriend at the time, Bernard Pfister was her fiancé but was away on military duty. Greg was just a friend who she was helping yo settle into his new home.

It was “Old Tom” who was sending fake letters. Toschi who knew who he was.

In regards to Leona one fact that was not covered was that her home address was less than a mile (0.6 to be exact) from the location of the Napa phone booth.

"Friday, August 27, 1976 At midnight, San Francisco Supervisor Dianne Feinstein, working late at City Hall, opened the last of her mail. “Did you miss me?” a note read. “Was busy doing some nefarious dastardly work, for which I am very well suited.” She rang the police, they called Toschi, and at 5:00 A.M., unshaven and bleary-eyed, he hustled upstairs to study the letter. “This isn’t from Zodiac,” he explained. “It’s ‘Old Tom’ playing games again. I’ve got an entire file on Old Tom’s bogus letters. Oddly enough, he isn’t drunk when he writes his Zodiac letters. The typing is far too elaborate for a guy who is sauced. And a guy who keeps doing a thing like that when he’s sober has gotta have something wrong with his head. He’s killing himself with alcohol.” The detective arranged for the McCauley Clinic to treat Tom for malnutrition; tried to get him into Napa under a section of the Welfare and Institution Code about being a danger to himself. However, Tom, an old pro, got himself a writ, and eight days later a judge dropped him back into the Tenderloin. I visited Old Tom in his flea-bitten hotel room, found him curled up on a urine-stained mattress. He was totally obsessed with the case. If that made him crazy, then we all were. Toschi still had seven years left until his minimum retirement date. “I’m watching the mailbox,” he said, “to see if I get a seventh-anniversary card from Zodiac.” An ad had run in that morning’s Chronicle: “ZODIAC Your partner is in DEEP REAL ESTATE. You’re next. The Imperial Wizard can save you. Surrender to him or I’ll terminate your case. R.A.”

I am on the fence whether that letter was from ‘Old Tom’ or not, or a fake in general (I have long believed it is likely a fake)but have seen nothing official mentioning it as one.

As far as boyfriend, the report I have says that Leona WAS dating Greg, and had broken up with Pfister (whose name I show as Danny, not Bernard (although her car was still in Danny’s name) I have an ‘in’ for Contra Costa County, I will verify which is accurate.

I do recall hearing Leona lived in Napa and Greg definitely worked in Napa at a barber shop, I forget the name of which

Thanks Morf, I would be interested in clarification on this as it does have a possible relation to the “Oakland’s tickets”, I understand newspapers aren’t the most reliable source (see below). Leona lived on 1742 3rd st with her mother, her father lived in Vallejo, Twin bridges trailer park from recollection.

I think it was Twin Bridges located at 1113 Pine St

Just heard from source, she was DEFINITELY dating Greg.

Thanks I stand corrected, interesting though that he ex-fiancé lived 5 doors away from the Tagerts.

Now see, I didn’t know that, or I forgot
