That was an interesting article NIN! I did think that maybe the red side of the boxes were fire call boxes but didn’t want to go out on a limb and suggest that. Very cool that they are still in use. Thanks!

You’re right Seagull…that box still is on the corner and I mis-identified it as a postal box…I didn’t get out of my truck until I got to Jackson and Maple..then also at Jackson and Spruce..I assumed it was a Postal box because of the red white and blue paint on it..I should have gotten out of my truck at Washington and Cherry and took a closer look..but declined as I thought I might upset some of the people who lived nearby..this was in broad daylight and some people that lived in the area were unloading their kids from school…I did notice some filming going on near Jackson and Cherry..but the crew declined to tell me under orders from higher ups..hmmmmm

A lot of the old criss cross directories for most city’s can be found on line. They are listed under the name of Polk’s or Haines city directory.
I find it interesting that the name at 3799 Washington ( Where the shooting took place) showed Mignon Augsbury as still living there ,when in fact she had died and it was her gardener and his family who were there in 1969. His name was Victor Schiantarelli, interestingly, his brother William was living at 222 Maple. I along with Ed N. investigated who was actually living there, do the misinformation that Robt Hunter was at that address. We proved he was not, Hunter was living on Lyon st. I will see if they had a child age 8 at that time , unless Seagull or TF finds it first ?

Schiantarelli had a son who was born in Jan. 1963. That’s real close age wise because I’m not sure that we know when exactly the eight year old spoke with LE. Were it after the first of the year it would be very close. Good call Sandy!!

Over the wall at Maple and Pacific ..just north of Jackson st. Julius Kahn playground is in the background..the street is looking east towards the city ..

Greg, I am trying to see the image, but can’t. What should I try ?

I’m going to have to fix the link

Greg, please check the threads that can help you to do this. I think most are using photo bucket ?

For anyone who can help him with this, Greg has many pictures that would be of interest to all of us.

If you are linking to the image be sure to highlight the link address after you have pasted it into your post and then click on the [img] button at the top along the top of the posting box.

I think doranchak posted instruction on this recently but I couldn’t find the post.

I fear though, given the image that is presently there, you have chosen an image from a site that doesn’t allow you to ‘hotlink’. Your option then is to download the image first then upload here. Instructions for that here http://zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.p … t=4&p=4#p4 if you need them.

I have the general idea..I just hate re-sizing the pics..I thought it would auto size them on upload..
thanks though

In reply to the earliest posts: Z could not have "hung around" the crime scene (with a crowd), because there was a great deal of blood spattered on the front of his parka. He was lucky the police didn’t see it when they spoke to him that evening. He probably leaned forward to talk into the patrol car window, placing his chest more completely in shadow. If it was foggy, that also would have helped him

The jury is still out on whether or not the cops spoke to him that night.

Apparently, there was no fog.

Some of the most lovely weather I ever experienced was in the Bay Area in late October, July can be a cold bitch.
Perhaps Zodiac took off his over coat that night and dumped it somewhere. That would still leave the slacks.
Wearing gloves or too much clothing would make him stand out on an October evening in San Francisco. The gloves
could have been from previous cab clients, however they should have been preserved as evidence, and furthermore,
tested for DNA. Does anyone know if that happened? Where are the gloves?

In an evidence box somewhere. They are seen pictured alongside Paul’s shirt.

Sometimes it can take a gun shot to the head or other part of the body some time to "bleed out" depending on the shot and where it’s placed..Z may have had a minimal amount of blood on himself after the initial shot..and could have been the reason that he "wiped down the cab" to sop more blood onto the shirt..
There is a video somehere of a person who was taken into police custody and shot himself in the head with a 1911 colt 45. on the initial impact.. no blood anywhere..but after his body slumped and about 30 seconds after the bullet entered his skull..the blood started to flow…and flow well..I wished I knew the link, but my point is blood doesn’t necessarily make an appearance right at impact…it may take some time for it to start flowing…disturbing subject I know..again Z may have had minimal amounts of blood on himself..
