1/2 a shoe size is not "very different."
A military boot print at the crime scene is still very much in line with Z.
Why are we still debating the
possibility of Z murdering CJB? It's very much a possibility.

It is a possibility, but there simply is no evidence or proof.

I am merely stating the fact the shoe sizes were different. Why do you throw these comments out there? I am not debating squat with you!
I have simply read the shoe prints were anywhere from 8-10, and after morf pointed out the measurement of the print at Berryessa, it appears they are very different in size. That is all.

Maybe. Or maybe not. The only question here is whether there was anything in the letter known only to the killer and the cops. Anything which actually qualifies. The rest of it is just speculation.

Apparently the Poster Monster swallowed my last post, so I'll try again. "Wing Walkers," aka "boondockers" were--perhaps still are--common footwear in the service, particularly the Navy, and largely worn by recruits and reservists. The idea that Cheri's killer might have purchased them at March AFB seems a stretch to me. I mean, who would go to an Air Force base to buy boots when there was a Payless (or its 60s equivalent) down the block? More likely, the "military style boots" were worn by an active/reservist sailor.

they were called Wingwalkers because they were used for just that.
the Air Force boys used them, not the Navy. and, you could buy them
at Army surplus stores. i had a pair of them along with my Navy peacoat.
anybody could have bought them.

All we want to do is take a good look at Ross and see if he fits in with the known evidence.
The Original Ross thread is 80% debating if Riverside was even Z.
So we start new topics trying to stay focused, but we get more "but the boot is half a size off, but the boot is half a size off."
Now we are derailed on yet another thread by more "but the boot is half a size off, but the boot is half a size off." When we really just need to focus on finding more information on Ross.

I would think anyone who may have been a pilot or worked on military planes (Army or Navy) could have worn them, and it has been established that anyone could pick them up at a surplus store--surely there were lots of guys that liked to buy that stuff--still is.
Now, can we establish that Ross wore them while working at the RCC library?

that's why we need testimony from folks that knew him then.
and should we get confirmation, do we need then to question
the validity of the testimony?
