Found this little piece mentioning a Mercury Sable..the Sable wasn’t produced during that time, but the Comet was the previous Mercury model. So if this thread is correct, we’re looking for a light tan to brown Mercury Comet..

Here we go with the color ‘rootbeer’, which may be darker or lighter than a common ‘brown’. It even may be interpreted as similar to ‘gold’ or ‘light tan’.

with latter one rather being the ‘brown’ or – even better – ‘maroon’ color.

Found this ad from a car dealer somewhere in a 1966/7 newspaper…interesting to see which cars where offered, obviously the Mercury Comet was quite common that time:

It’s all one big fat guess.

if I had a gun and was in the career of killing, I would know what ammo was used and the number of shots fired. But how did he recall the position of bodies some 7 months later? Photographic memory? Took pictures? What?

Goooood point.

Tahoe – it’s SEVERAL big fat guesses ain’t it!

I would bet the Guy went back to the scene more than once after the murders to relive the experience,and likely fantasized about the murders after thinking back about them.
