I am looking for photos of Melvin Belli taken during the Zodiac era (or earlier) which show him out on the street mingling with everyday people.

I have a theory that the Zodiac may have been a closet fan or admirer of Belli, but rather than approach Belli directly he may have simply loitered around in the background during outdoor events. I am sure that the Zodiac identified with the idea that Belli often represented high profile people like celebrities and killers (such as the infamous Jack Ruby). Belli may have been a part of the Zodiac’s plan from the outset of his "career" as a serial killer. The possibility of the Zodiac being captured in at least one photograph from the era at an outdoor event involving Belli is therefore not out of the question. There is perhaps even the remote possibility that the same person may appear in the background in photos taken at different times and places.

If anyone has or can find such photos, please post up the links or actual photos in this thread, or PM them to me if you wish them to remain in confidence.

NOTE: I already have the photos taken by Chuck Gould at the Diggers "Free the City" event in SF. So I am no longer interested in those photos unless the photos were taken by someone else. The identity of the surly man in dark glasses, with receding hairline and wearing light trousers and dark jacket, who is captured loitering behind Belli at that event, is unknown.

You might want to check out Belli’s FOIA docs if you haven’t already.
