I’m not sure 170 lbs. would fit a "heavy set" description.

I have found that people are not very good at estimating weight.

For someone 5 foot 9 it’s borderline overweight in body mass index.

I’m 5’9 now about 180 lbs something with a bit of a gut. People refer to me now as stocky and when I weight 170 lbs with little gut they still call me that. I workout with weights all my life and still do so, always will be consider stocky with clothes on.

Ps. I don’t know anyone weighing around 220 lbs not describe as fat unless they are 6’2 or taller. point is a 5’9 220 Lbs Zodiac would be consider obese fat by most witness in my opinion.

These are marvelous observations. I’m 6′ and well over 200 lbs, so it has always been difficult for me to judge height and weight accurately.

It would seem that a suspect who is 5′ 10" and 200 to 210 lbs would definitely fit in the description of "stocky", beefy", "heavy build" etc.

Yea sounds about right and with a noticeable gut as well. Sounds reasonable.

Anybody 5’9 or 5’10 weighing 250 lbs is going to stand out like a soar thumb. Heck probably why the kids said Rick Marshall was way to fat to be the person they saw.

Oh and if you believe the Stine sketch which I do cause of the kids and Fouke. He has one of the thinnest faces ever and very likely he wasn’t that much overweight.

There are heavy-looking American football players. They’re big guys but their faces don’t look fat. You could describe them as beefy, heavyset etc. but not out of shape.

They don’t have close to the thin face like in the sketch.

It’s a very limited composite, we can’t rest on it too much.

Point being Zodiac didn’t look over 150 lbs in the sketch.

Perhaps he lost some weight between the previous attacks and Stine.

LE would value the corroboration of all the witness descriptions, though.
