A troll has for weeks been posting this suspect’s name at every turn, and on multiple sites.

He seems to be craving attention, and he shouldn’t get it as he has posted lots of lies, and incorrect info. He lied saying that this suspect’s widow’s home was searched and that DNA was taken from the home. (Nobody has accused Mrs Andrew of any wrongdoing, just making that clear)

He photoshopped previously Macs photo to make his hairline match closer to the Zodiac sketch. 

In an effort to put an end to the BS, the bogus info etc, I am posting Mac’s info here- many of you know who he is already, and I hope that some of you with an interest in researching him may find things of use to help rule him in or out as being Zodiac. 

PLEASE, keep all discussion of Mac here. Do NOT post bogus info. If you have questions do NOT ask people who have made up or supplied fake info, please ask myself or someone who has researched this suspect. There are a couple of us here on this forum that have been quietly researching and compiling info on Mac for months. If they want to introduce themselves to the thread, I’ll leave that up to them
