On a different note. I have found something that by all accounts should blow this thing wide open. Im gonna try and have everything finished and ready by this weekend. Im going to send it to Morf first. This is bigger than the photos. Bigger than the yearbook handwriting. Bigger than blonde vs red. I would call it a bombshell. Its quite a lot to digest.

Because that is how black and white photographs work with different shades of blond hair. The paperwork filled out was quite descriptive…hair included.

How can any of us really tell accurately what color anybody’s hair is in a black & white photo. Remember, people can fill out whatever they want on a document, driver’s license, etc. Doesn’t mean it’s accurate. Either way, what difference does it make if Ross’s hair was brown, blonde, or red, or a combo of them? If it’s to compare to the hair in Cheri’s hand that’s fine, but if it was to compare to Zodiac’s in SF, it’s mentioned in the description that the hair color may have been either or and the light may have been changing it

People can write whatever they want, but why would Ross have lied at 18 years of age?

My point was, in 1959 Ross was blond. If people want to spin it any other way, you’d have to ask them why they choose to do it. Cheri Jo? If one doesn’t think Zodiac (might) have been responsible for Cheri…Ross is in the clear.

Zodiac? …any suspect is covered. "light-brown, almost blond", "dark brown", "brown, reddish tint"…"possibly graying in rear".

There is no need to try and find excuses as to why his hair may have changed color, but in 1959 Ross Sullivan was blond.


…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

In Ross’ draft card it is stated that Ross was 6 feet 2 inches :shock: (I didn’t know that until today)

The suspect at Paul Stine murder was, at the wanted poster, estimated to be 5 feet 8 inches.

BIG difference !

How do those who believe Ross was Zodiac explain that?

Hi, english is not my first language so please bear with me :)

If one doesn’t think Zodiac (might) have been responsible for Cheri…Ross is in the clear.

This is what I have a problem with, jumping to these types of conclusions without considering all the factors.

Factors like:

-Not every hair on a persons body is one uniform color.
-1959 Ross had much darker hair than a Blonde woman from the same photo.
-This card is from 1959, 1966 is 7 years later. Hair can and does change.

None of this proves anything one way or the other, but jumping to the conclusion that Ross can’t possibly be the source of the CJB hair, based on a word written on a card that is open to interpretation, is simply absurd.

I agree. I don’t think Ross would/should be in the clear based on a hair strand’s color alone. Especially not knowing what he looked like at the time of the crime(s).

At this point its kind of up to the History Channel people. If they want exlcusive rights to what i have it will have to wait. If not then I guess I’ll spill the beans sooner than later. Believe me; I WANT TO
