This is a link to an old yearbook from cal maritime; this one is 1967 — you can download the PDF. There is a key year missing, but i forget which one now. I was looking for the RH initials, as well as for a poi who was interviewed after BRS.
Ok, 6 names are definitely. 2 more are likely, but not 100%. Except one, no one looks like the sketch at all.
Alot of names ending on son, but they are not scandinavian.
Sorry if my english is bad:-)
Great link! Thanks Murray!

You’re welcome — I appreciate that someone took the time to digitize these. There are actual copies of 1962 and 1965 available for like 130 bucks, which makes me think there aren’t alot of these lying around. I hope we can string together some connection with an already strong poi — it would also be great to find someone who is still around from the 60s graduating classes.
I have always found the Tarbox link interesting and have posted comments before on the subject. Could the Z have been a Cal Maritime student? Who knows, but some of the people who went there in the late 70’s were strange birds. I was a normal student, not a strange bird!
One item about the Tarbox story has always been in the back of my head. If the Z was a Merchant Mariner his finger prints would be on record with the US Coast Guard. Every US Merchant Mariner has a Seaman’s Document, which is known in the business as a Z Card. How ironic. It is a plastic laminated card about 4” x 2-1/2” with your information on it, including a thumbprint. To get a Z Card, you have to give the Coast Guard a set of prints.
Did the police ever try and use the Coast Guard files to compare to the prints from Stine?

Great inpt, SK — I was hoping for some kind of inside info like this. While actual Z fingerprints are few if any, it seems a comparison to even a partial could be done with a data base like what you describe. It could be narrowed, based on the time frame. Now, I am not sure how we go about getting such a suggestion heard by the keepers of the print(s) — the new SF detective on the case? Vallejo? Riverside?
I ran into Hansen, the Alaska murderer, a few years ago. I’ve bought one book on him and have yet to read it. There are several books about him on Amazon. I’d considered him because of his activities, where the bodies were located, and his rh initials, and his photo, and time he started operating in Alaska. It appears that many may not consider him as Zodiac, but I’m re-looking at this guy.
More later, as I find (or not find) coincidences.
