I can't imagine a person's height can be so misjudged that he will go from being 6'2" in real life to being mistaken for a short guy.

So he was the worlds greatest copy-cat?

Lets see, he :
-Correctly copied Zodiac's handwriting, including special traits that had not been established in the few letters mailed up to that point.
-Correctly imitated Zodiac's monotone voice.
-Correctly copied Zodiac's monotone voice and script in his call to police.
-Correctly guessed that Zodiac would be seen wearing pleated pants and engineering boots at the later PH crime scene.
-Knew to use the "candy cane F" on the car door, even though that trait had not been clearly established.
-Knew that Z would later send a letter to Paul Avery, containing "By Knife" and wrote it on the car door.

And even though he correctly copied all that, he didn't copy the standard Z MO of gunning down people in a parked car and made up his own MO.
(strong) doubts?

I love this board but y'all are fishing in the wrong pool with this multiple Z thing and by doubting that Berryessa was the work of someone else based on M.O. alone. M..O. changes but signature doesn't and the signature here was EXACTLY THE SAME as what we saw in Vallejo. By casting doubt upon the identity of the murderer as well as maintaining that the eyewitness descriptions were of someone else, we're blowing the best lead we have. It's so frustrating.

The Zodiac was a real guy, he existed, he hurt people, and he may well be still out there somewhere collecting social security. I'm just of the opinion that what's simple about this case (i.e., the crime scenes) is where the truth will be found and that by needlessly complicating things, we're feeding into exactly the sense of grandeur this creep coveted for himself.
