I don’t know if this is old news or not. But I have never seen this picture. Morf, and others interested in RS, have you ever seen this picture before? I have followed the developments in regards to RS somewhat, and I have never seen this pic. Some of you may know I personally don’t think of RS as a really strong Z suspect, but I know Morf and many others do, so I thought I would post this here. To help those who are interested in him as a suspect, and advance the knowledge and research on him, be it pro, con or neutral.
I ran across it on a true crime forum. The person who posted it is named DorianRo. I have asked DorianRo for info about the pic, such as school name, year and any other known info. I will post any info I get.
I would note that RS seems a little less heavy here than in other pictures I have seen. It does reinforce how tall he was – he appears to be tied with the boy next to him for being the tallest kid in the photo. Looking every bit of his reported 6’2". With the lone exception of the boy he is next to, and tied in height with, he is significantly taller than all the boys to his left, and right.
So I ask the question to everyone who has been interested and following the Ross Sullivan aspect of the case. Have you personally seen this photograph before?

Yes, I’ve seen it. On this forum I believe.

OK thanks. No big deal then, I guess. I had never seen it before. For years I’ve seen the crouching pic of RS over and over many times, and I followed the RS developments fairly well, and I have never seen this pic on this forum.
The crouching pic gives no indication of his height. This picture gives a more accurate representation of his height in relation to other kids his age.
Well, if there’s anybody in the same boat as me, who’s never seen this before, here it is.

Sure is. And yes, we had that photo a while back.
No matter how you slice it, Ross still fits into the height and weight descriptions of Z. (even if it is on the high end)
half the boys in that photo look like the Z sketch!
…a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
Ross looks to have a large frame. Pretty big guy.

But Ross is the only one in that photo(and only Zodiac suspect) confirmed to be in the RCC library where Zodiac’s writing was found

Ok I’m eating crow with these recent developments.
Morf I think you got him buddy. Congrats.
With the Latest Shepherd knew Bates info and the mental hospital being across from the restaurant both women frequented. There is so much pointing at Ross Sullivan.

I haven’t proven that Bates and Shepard knew each other. But if you want to take my word for that anyway, then you also need to take my word for Sullivan being under lock and key for the Berryessa attack.

Zodiac’s writing was not found in the library. Please step perpetuating that myth.

There are always professionals to argue every side, as was the case with the writing on the desk.
It’s not a fact and that is fact. 
“…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

Please provide more details about Ross’ confinement Tom !

You’re right, it’s not a fact. Just because you believe something to be true doesn’t make it true and vice versa. When law enforcement officially connects CJB with Zodiac or officially links the desktop poem to him, then that’s different. Unfortunately, Morf – one of the most respected voices in true crime and the Zodiac case specifically – chooses to stir up the already muddied waters of this case by presenting supposition and conjecture and speculation as facts that should be taken for granted. In my opinion, that’s detrimental to solving this case and confuses those new to it.
I meant no disrespect, but let’s be as grounded to the standards of factual investigation as much as possible.
