MT. Clue for Ross?

[snooter]

Prints will still be around in the buried case files..if sent in to state or fbi they will still have them...nutin gets tossed..what we need is somebody to walk into sfpd with the hood and bloody shirt swatch they found in grandpas basement after he died

i'm not going to make suggestions out in the open on this site.
use what you just said as an example. thank you, Mr. Holmes.

People for the most part will not co operate with the police. In Providence RI, people get hit with bats, stabbed, shot, etc, but they will not snitch to the police. They want to take care of their adversaries themselves. You can see the trend growing very strong too. Helping the police is a no no in most cities today. Maybe in the lily white suburbs they play the mans game, but not in the city. The less you say to those people the better off you will be.

be that as it may, there are ways to get that DNA.
it seems that is the only way we ever can really say
with some certainty Ross is innocent or guilty. after
all the back-and-forth on this site, that would be a relief.

Your on the right track, up2something. It is Narlow and Lonergan in the newspaper photograph holding the clothesline with their bare hands.

Ah yes. Thanks Deb.

It would be a relief, and a huge saving of time, to be able to definitively cross off Ross and some other popular POIs.

I've seen companies like Ancestry.com advertising that you can send in a sample of your DNA and they can tell you what nationality you are. IF LE does have Z's DNA, couldn't they at least check that?

Nice thing about the USA, in this regard, is that our European history is only a few hundred years old. Many of us can trace our roots back to Europe going back just a few generations. So... wouldn't it be good to know if Z was, for example, Italian, or Irish, or German?

IF LE has his DNA (and if it's usable) this would be pretty obvious, and simple, wouldn't it? And then those on this site who trace family histories could take various POIs ancestry back through the years and narrow the field.

look on Tom Voight's site under DNA. a woman with LE in 2013 stated
they had it. no questions asked. so now what? why are we chasing
a bunch of circumstantial evidence and playing he said, she said.?

They have it, but some will say it is tainted or not Zodiac's. "Someone else licked the stamps..."

They have DNA from somebody. How are they going to get Ross's DNA, he's dead and buried. They would need a court order to dig up a grave. A judge needs much more than that to allow such a thing. His surviving family doesn't want to cooperate in the investigation. There is nothing more they can do.
