The shirt wasn’t cut, it was torn.

So people are "trolls" if they have a different opinion than you do….or if they think something different about the case than you do? Odd.

The reason I enjoy reading this forum over the other popular ones is because typically people chat/discuss/debate the case in a respectful manner. The insulting, calling people trolls, passive-aggressive smart-ass comments from forum leaders….you guys should leave all that crap for the other forums.

We are all adults. People should be able to discuss a 50 year old crime case without arguing and insulting each other. Just my opinion.

Good post. Sadly there are plenty of people who have a vested interest in “suspects” and will aggressively attack or try to sarcastically put down people who don’t happen to have the same viewpoint as them or genuinely question them. Over the decades I’ve usually found it’s because there’s a flaw with their pet suspects and they don’t want to admit it and will do anything to save face.

For instance, if you were to show interest in someone that say matches the BRS or PH descriptions, you’re stupid or a troll because obviously Mageau was in trauma and only saw a dark silhouette from the side, the teens at PH were young, unreliable, 3 floors up and 150ft away in the dark and Foukes/Zelms were flying past in a car in terrible viewing conditions and might not have even seen Z (yeah right).

Interesting how they all gave almost identical descriptions separately though isn’t it!? You’d think at least one of them would have said 5’5” or 6’3”, 120lbs, 280lbs, black hair, bushy perm, etc. considering to some people they all had such bad viewing conditions and were all so unreliable as witnesses.

^^^Agreed.

It’s a never ending battle.

We can read word-for-word what was written in reports and still…it becomes a matter of perspective. For example, I read the FBI stating the handwriting was "inconclusive"…others read "may have" as evidence. viewtopic.php?f=33&t=90 –the snarky remarks haven’t changed. ;)

In the end, there is no proof. We can argue about it over and over again and people will lean in a direction that suits their point of view. Just the way it goes….


…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

half the boys in that photo look like the Z sketch!

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

Exactly !
