I can see Seagull found the same news report info but I'll post anyway, and the 1965 address in Glendale CA might be new info:


Concerning the suspect : Rene Leon Trudeau

I found this 1965 address on a Rene Trudeau in Glendale Ca (can not be 100% sure it is the correct person):

California Glendale 1965 Glendale, California, City Directory, 1965

Trudeau, Rene 200 1/2 e Chestnut


Also found this:
Press-Telegram (Long Beach, California) 1964 February 10

Quote:
An 18 year old transient was held by police today for questioning in connection with the "thrill" slaying of a young honeymooning couple.

Quote:
Detective said Rene Leon Trudeau, described as a part time janitor at a downtown bus depot was booked in city jail on suspicuon of murder Sunday

Quote:
Trudeau was arrested after police were notified by a priest from St. Patric's church that he might be dangerous.
The priest said T came to him Saturday and said he had hurt some people and wanted help. He said the youth left before they had a chance to talk.


In a identical news report, this was added at the end of the news report:

Eureka Humboldt Standard (Eureka, California) 1964 February 12

Quote:

"Police Ll. Robert Lafoon quoted the youth as saying
"I have the urge to hurt someone, anyone. I could hurt you if I had the chance,
anyway I could. That's why I saw a priest. I guess I need help.""

This is the 2015 obituary of, one time, suspect Rene Leon Trudeau.

Born: March 18, 1945
Died: June 7, 2015

There is a photo of him in the obituary, text under the photo ; "A man of many talents, he even 'cleaned up good!"

I may not have given enough information about the stamp used on the Celebrity cipher card. The stamp was a Marianne Moore stamp. She was a poet and "Editor", she died on Feb 5th, 1972. The Swindles were killed on Feb 5th 1964. I doubt that stamp in 1990 just happened to be the stamp used without Zodiac knowing the significance? He had a reason for most of what he did in the way of taunting. That stamp was the clincher for me to know the card and the Swindels murder date matched Feb 5th. Now to tie the watch to the one found near Cheri Jo's murder!
