That's nice.
Is it the Howard stuff? Isn't it amazing how official things look typed in courier.

Are you suggesting that the cropped image is from a report faked by Howard? Lol

[smithy]

Blimey - he's faked some?

[Welsh Chappie]

I wouldn't know. But from your original comment "Is it the Howard stuff? Isn't it amazing how official things look typed in courier." it seems you may have been insinuating something lol. Care to elaborate and be more specific?

[Tahoe27]

Just my take, but I think Howard is a fine researcher. While he & I may come to different conclusions, I certainly don't think he would fake anything.

[Zamantha]

My take on Howard is he is very honest & has no need to fake anything! I really love all the time & energy Howard has put into this case! I do realize you may not agree on his POI just like other's POI's, but don't knock his research! Also, I feel it's great when people share their research on their POI, as they are not keeping all that info to themselves. Who knows who the Z is...

Is that directed at me? If it is, I didn't say, or suggest, that Howard ever has, or ever would, fake anything. I was asking Smithy what he meant by his comment in which he seemed to suggest the cropped section of a report I posted was from Howard and was not a genuine report. I never said anything in regards to Howard.

[Tahoe27]

Nothing directed at you Chappie...just clearing up any misconceptions that may have arisen from any comments. I don't think smithy was suggesting it either. ?

[traveller1st]

I think Smithy's comment was directed solely at the 'perceived' properties of the typeface and it's use in such matters.

Gosh, I turn my back for a second and .... ???

No, I was mistaken as usual. Although Howard turned up some good stuff about smoking as I recall, yes, it's a police report and yes, I was thinking out loud about the typeface. (I tend to do that.) Does that juxtaposition of ideas make it look as if I think Howard fakes things? I hope not! If it does, sorry Howard!

I still think our man could have parked his silver-blue Chevy(?) up near the Kharman Ghia, near the road, without fear of it being noticed or remarked upon. No CCTV, after all, and even the girls (who obviously thought the guy they reported was a stalker and a weirdo and paid some real attention to him) couldn't furnish enough detail on the car to enable him to be found....
As I thought, they knew the manufacturer, but not the model. I didn't think they knew the year either, but Interestingly (perhaps!) the hand-written Snook stuff has more detail (it's a forgery I tell you! Ha!).
It specifies a "1966-67 light blue Chevrolet with calif plates" and, presumably in an attempt to identify a model, also adds that the witness thought the car was "a 2-door and described the headlights as being long rather than round - the rear glass was tinted quite dark".

That's pretty specific isn't it? How do they know the year but not the model? That's odd. Still no match though - that we know of.

Nope. My take is that any car parked up there by the lake would be just that, a plain-old car. No reason for anyone to remark on it or recall it.

Since I have time on my hands, I've had a long look and I'll venture that it might have been a Nova, since the headlamp treatment does make the lamps look "long" to me - albeit vertically, rather than horizontally.

Now! (Are you still there, mother?) Back to the premise of the thread.
Why the disguise? Because otherwise Bryan or Cecilia would have recognised him. That's my favourite thought. No, it doesn't have to make any sense.
