He used his car in the other attacks. After the phone call he made his escape.
With the Stine scene he walked away, and had a close call with police. So he had to take cover and stay out of sight.
He was last seen walking toward the park.
We cannot know exactly what the perp was up to without the perp to tell us.
Or you could call him Zodiac like everyone else does.
Why not call him Arthur?
that’s a little less ominous
“Nobody called him Arthur.”
Many posts have said he was a murder but also making a villain character. He was the man who murdered the kids in an attack.
But than to his mind he was The Zodiac, calling in to report the murder, he just didn,t start with This is the zodiac speaking. To his mind he was not a awful guy.
"Or you could call him Zodiac like everyone else does."
I could even call him Tom since nobody knows his real name.
That was too much!
Anything is better than trying to sound smart by copying "Criminal Minds" or a John Douglas book.
Tom I will call him then, then. Believe me, everyone will know exactly who I am talking about.
That was too much!
everyone will know exactly who I am talking about.
That’s because he has a name, it’s Zodiac. That’s why everyone calls him Zodiac.
But if I called him "Perpy Tom" or "Tom the Perp" there would be zero confusion.

In fact I know of no other perps named Tom associated with this case, or am I missing something?
That was too much!
Zodiac later wrote in a letter about the Stine crime scene
That he was asked by police if he saw anything.
He Said yes and so he Agree,s he was Spotted by police.
So the Police description of the man seen walking was the Zodiac.
And in one instance, an officer described the Zodiac as "welsh".
Not sure what welsh looks like, but if it were a costume or a disguise, then anything Irish, Scottish or even Celtic/Gaelic could look "welsh" to many of us.
Why did this observer choose the word welsh specifically?

I believe that he, himself, is of Welsh descent.
I guess Fouke equated 5′ 10," medium heavy build, barrel chested, and medium complexion with "Welsh"…he did say there was "something about the chin" in later years…
The problem with this theory, is there’s no distinct Welsh look. If you look at photos of famous Welsh celebrities you’d be hard-pressed to say what their defining characteristic is. If there is a Welsh look it’s very subtle. Being from the UK I couldn’t say what a Welshman typically looks like (darker thicker hair perhaps? I dunno).
Welsh people like many people in the British Isles have multiple genetic influences, including from the Gallic countries of Portugal, Galicia and Brittany. Although, they are generally considered a Celtic people of mixed origin. What a lot of Americans often consider to be ‘Celtic’ is the red hair associated with Saxons, Fresians and more low-germanic people, who migrated to Britain in the post-Roman period. Yet, this look is more frequent in Scotland and Ireland (15% and 10% respectively). Wales and Cornwall were somewhat protected from these migrations, by virtue being on the Western side of islands. That said there is not really any remaining indigenous people of the British isles, it’s very much a mongrel nation.
Fouke’s description is all over the shop. Later he supposedly clarified, that he meant to say that Zodiac had the physique of a Welsh miner. As far as I know, being a miner is not a national characteristic.
