The sighting of the individual using the telephone kiosk at Main and Clinton as seen by those two kids is very interesting. I wonder what type of rain jacket was worn by the man in the telephone booth? A casual type regular wet weather rain jacket? Or perhaps a souwester type with a hood as worn by a fisherman perhaps? The colour, and dirty appearance, seems to give it away, and it was perhaps the latter. The attack on LB was late afternoon, and considering it was certainly a planned procedure, could it be that the Zodiac had been scouting around that afternoon posing as a fisherman? The fact that the jacket was dirty points to the fact that it’s owner possibly was a fisherman. Of course if the jacket was of the "industrial" type, the owner could have been involved in the construction industry, or certainly someone who worked in the outdoors at some manual job.

Or someone who is a hobbyist fisherman and doesn’t mind fishing in rainy weather. ALA was definitely one, no idea if he owned such a jacket.

My guess is that ALA was probably more into spearfishing. There is a photo of him around with his plumbers crack showing through a hole in his wet suit and a huge fish tail hanging out from his car boot. My bet is he caught that monster by spear and not by rod. Hence the wet suit. Judging by that fishes tail my guess is that’s a lake sturgeon.

Probably a dash of blowing fish out of the water if we are to explain away his collection of dangerous toys.

I have no idea how someone who was this messy couldn’t leave at least some evidence around that he was the Zodiac.

BTW, highway patrol wear yellow rain jackets also. They want to be visible in the rains on roads for obvious reasons.

Yes I meant a hobbyist fisherman. Could be an outdoors man, hiker, it’s not much of a clue but it possibly narrows down the field somewhat. Of course, might not have originally been owned by the wearer.

Hi Mr Holland

That tear in the wetsuit looks strategically placed don’t you thin considering Mr Allen was a bit of a weirdo. And yes, the list of individuals wearing those Hi-Vis jackets is quite extensive.

Go develop photo negatives using technology from 1960, then transfer them to digital and tell me how well it turns out.

It was taken in 1960 and I shared it at Zodiackiller.com in 2007.

Looks more like someone colored the photo in photoshop and forgot to change the layer mode for the feet. So yeah, photoshoped.
