Did somebody already find this photo of Jo Ann Bailey (the RCC librarian who wrote the letter of concern about Ross)?

Thanks Dave. That pic is from the yearbook pics. It’s available on Classmates.com, e-yearbook.com etc. Still, it’s always nice to see a face to add to a name

stumbled on this..

Just saying, it’s a lot easier for us armchair sleuths, eagerly wanting more clues, than it is for those who were close to Ross.

Indeed.

Plus, not wanting to cooperate with amateurs is perfectly legitimate in general – and particularly legitimate in connection with the Z case, given the amount of crackpots and profit seekers who are associated with it.

If anyone is reluctant to cooperate with official investigators – that’s when the eyebrows should be raised.

Yes, people seem to assume that there’s something suspicious about family members and friends who don’t want to talk to us. It’s important to remember that to ordinary people, anyone interested in this case who might be contacting them is thought of as a "kook." Indeed, there are many crackpots who get into this hobby, so it isn’t entirely unjustified.

If Ross’s father was a Yale Divinity graduate, and his mother was educated too, it seems highly probable that Ross would have a high IQ. Also, using " shall" in his letters would be common dialect to use from a person who’s father was a minister.

Quick Question….PLEASE save me from searching hundreds of posts I had found and posted a couple of lower quality, smaller pics of Ross from High School in NY before he moved to CA. One of him in glasses, and one of him with no glasses standing with a swim team. I think I posted the name of the NY high school yearbook I found the pics in, but I misplaced the title of the school & yearbook. Can anybody tell me what the name of that high school was?

Nothing too exciting, but found his birth announcement in the Syracuse Journal, or Seracuse if you prefer. -m

Thanks for finding and posting

1207 Harrison St. in Syracuse is a pretty good size house made into 5 apartments. The weird thing is that it wasn’t built until 1950.

The address appears in the 1935 City Directory, the closest year to 1941 that I could find online. It looks as if it was a single family dwelling then because there is only one name at the address.

Pretty slow around here for a while. Any new information?

Morf, did you ever speak to your source again (the one from Santa Cruz who saw Ross in asylum)?

It has been quite Jeff. I’ve been out of commission for awhile over here. I had a terrible case of vertigo. It was calcium crystals shifted in the inner ear. I got punched in the head and it must have knocked something loose. But I’m ok now and hoping to go to California in the spring. I had somebody called tigerdove9, send me a message that they would like to have a get together out there. I replied but haven’t heard back from tiger dove.

I reached out and left a message but didn’t hear back from him again.

Everything gets slow as far as Z case goes, or suspects,etc…right now seems like a slow time. Plus, you get to those dead ends, or walls with suspects, and you need a new piece of info or a lead to spark things again

I hope your ear is on the mend and vertigo has subsided. I received a PM from tigerdove9 as well Holmes. We live in the same city (I live part time in Palm Springs area and part time in Riverside area). She claimed to be the zodiac and I believe is no longer on the forum. She told me she was female among other things. Wanted to get together with me, but I’m not interested.

I do find it interesting it was discovered that Ross was a bit obsessed with the Beatles or their tunes – and the Zodiac made reference to the Blue Meanies in Yellow Submarine.
