Wow, there is some good information in those articles.

First that the car police was seeking, in fact was a brown one. In connection with Z's letter and the phone booth incidend it therefore may be expected to be true. Another issue is the tire track distance, which perfectly fits a Ford Mercury Comet. Z therefore imo had a Ford Mercury Comet, brown to light tan in color. This is also a statement Kathleen Johns had made. Another point: The earlier Mercury Comet model had two Z symbols on its front.

Then the casings..ten shots fired, possibly two into the car plus one and five for killing. Therefore eight shots fired at least, with still two bullets missing. In one of the article it is said that few single shots had been fired, then a rapid gunfire.

The bullets missing therefore presumably had been shot from the place where Faraday had been killed into the direction of Jensen. Not above Jensen's car as we had thought in earlier discussions. The bullets therefore still may be in this area.

Thanks Zam - marvellous stuff. I especially like that last one. Do we know who wrote it?

I must say, this is the best Zodiac site by far when it comes to digging up new material. Thanks for the articles and photos, folks!

Also, the Zodiac crosshair circle symbol is (or at least was) used on boxes of ammo to indicate that the ammo was in compliance with NATO standards. Since Z made a big deal about what brand of ammo he bought, maybe he expected someone to notice that.

But these photos of the Vomet (sorry, couldn't resist) are just jaw-dropping.

Keep it up!

Maybe a 1963 Chvey Corvair Spyder...

Was going through these articles again and I wanted to say how much we all appreciate the effort you went through to collect these! Thanks so much!!

We were clued to these articles by Wrench who picked up a few and posted them at ZKF. A group went down to the Vallejo library where there is a binder the librarians compiled with all the Zodiac articles from the Vallejo paper. It was a matter of making copies of all the pages and then scanning and posting. The librarians deserve much of the credit for putting together the binder and making it available to the public. The 1969 microfilm for the VTH was stolen long ago from the library.

I actually heard from Wrench/Bentley the other day I am happy to say. I miss him being on the hunt for Z. I think, he may be happily 'retired' from Z chasing, but left him an open invite to rejoin us anytime.
