I'm not saying he didn't live in the area, just that he hadn't spent enough time there to know the names like locals would.

That's a really good point. Do you think Z was from San Francisco then? Maybe it's the opposite of what I'm saying. Maybe Z lived in SF and "commuted" out to Vallejo and Benicia on the weekends because that was a good secluded area he wouldn't have been able to find in the city. Once he had established himself with Vallejo, Benicia and Lake Berryessa he figured it was time to strike in San Francisco --- using a kill in his hometown as the exclamation point/coda to his kill spree.

That is exactly what I think! Also the Stine murder is the only one that there is no proof he used a car. He could have but there is no proof of one. probably lived a mile or so away or less and was seen walking by LE.

Didn't Officer Foulke ( not sure if I'm spelling that right) say the person he saw turned going up the steps/sidewalk to a home? I think he also said he never went to check that home out? He needs a smack for being a lousy cop if that's true.

But yeah, I've wondered the same thing, if Zodiac lived nearby. I never bought he ran into the Presidio and hid in the bushes. The guy was too smart, too mature, to calculated to have to do that. I've also wondered if he had his car parked nearby and simply got into it and drove away.

He always seemed to take his time and not be rushed, like he wasn't in a panic to get away. He had his murders well planned, well scouted and an escape route ready. I don't think he necessarily cared if he was caught, he half-way expected it at some point, but he wasn't going to make it easy for the police.

I'd say it's possible he was familiar with all of these areas because of his occupation, or some reason that caused him to travel the areas a lot or even relocate often, that would be my best guess. Might have passed by these locations often, enough to know he could find couples hanging out there.

Good point. Real Estate industry fits that profile well which I believe was Kane's occupation.

I agree 100% Ross didn't drive all the way from Santa Cruz if he was Zodiac, he had to have lived in SF bay area. According to one witness, he did split time in SF

That's very interesting, could be the key. Do you recall which witness said that? PS heard you interviewed on the Crawlspace podcast. Good ep, hope to hear you on more shows.
