IF YOU REFER ONCE AGAIN TO THE CHART OF NORMAL SIZES ETC. YOU WILL SEE THAT THE AVERAGE SIZE OF GLOVES FOR MEN IS 8.48 WHICH WOULD FIT AN AVERAGE MAN 5'8.6 INCHES HIGH THEREFORE WE MUST CONCLUDE THAT THE GLOVES DID NOT BELONG TO ZODIAC OR HE HAD UNUSUALLY SMALL HANDS FOR A MAN OF HIS HEIGHT/WEIGHT/AGE.
WELL GIRLS....YOU KNOW WHAT THE RUMOUR SAYS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MAN'S HANDS....IS THIS POSSIBLY A RELEVANT FACT?
SOME FEEL THAT ZODIAC CHANGED HIS M.O. BECAUSE HE NEEDED A GREATER 'THRILL' AND A HIGHER RISK FACTOR.
PERHAPS HE FELT AN INTERNAL 'NEED' TO KILL AT THIS SPECIFIC PLACE OR TIME AS WAS REQUIRED BY HIS NEED FOR 'SLAVES'.
PERHAPS HE NEEDED TO HAVE A MURDER AT A SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION IN KEEPING WITH HIS REFERENCE TO RADIANS OR SOME 'RAN OUT OF TIME URGENCY' HE CREATED WITHIN HIMSELF WHEN HE FAILED TO FIND THE 'PERFECT' VICTIM BUT I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS SO SIMPLE THAT PEOPLE HAVE, AS IT WERE, FAILED TO SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES.
IT IS CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE THAT ZODIAC WAS THE KILLER OF PAUL STINE.
YES, HE MAY HAVE HIRED SOMEONE...YES HE MAY HAVE KNOWN WHO IT WAS AND BORROWED THE PIECE OF SHIRT.....BLAH BLAH.
LET'S GET REAL!
HE WAS THE KILLER. HE TOOK A PIECE OF THE BLOODY SHIRT AND MAILED IT IN FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF LETTING US KNOW HE WAS THE KILLER...BUT.....
IT DEFINITELY WAS OUT OF HIS 'KILLER' CHARACTER TO HAVE DONE IT IN THAT FASHION SO THERE MUST BE A LOGICAL EXPLANATION, AND I THINK I HAVE FOUND IT.
HE NEVER INTENDED TO KILL THE DRIVER.,,,OR TO BE MORE CORRECT, HE DIDN'T GO OUT THAT NIGHT WITH THE INTENTION OF KILLING HIM.
IF HE HAD HE WOULD NOT HAVE MERELY BROUGHT THE GLOVES, HE WOULD HAVE WORN THEM.
IF HE HAD INTENDED TO KILL THE DRIVER HE WOULD HAVE SAT IN THE REAR SEAT WHERE A KILL WOULD BE EASIER AND LESS LIKELY TO GO WRONG BUT POLICE EVIDENCE INDICATES HE SAT IN THE FRONT BESIDE THE DRIVER.
IF HE HAD INTENDED TO KILL THE DRIVER HE WOULD NOT HAVE SAT IN THE FRONT WHERE HE WAS SURE TO BE, AND MUST HAVE BEEN, SPLATTERED WITH THE BLOOD, BRAIN AND OTHER MATERIAL FRON THE IMPACT OF A 9 MM SHELL HITTING THE DRIVER'S SKULL, WHO WAS SITTING JUST INCHES AWAY..AND YET HE WAS SEEN IN THE FRONT SEAT!
HE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE TURNED TO HIS LEFT (SINCE WE ARE SURE ZODIAC WAS RIGHT-HANDED) AND MADE A QUICK, SURE AND ACCURATE SHOT SINCE THE DRIVER WAS SURE TO REACT IF HE SAW THE GUN.
SURELY IF YOU WANTED TO KILL HIM, BETTER FROM THE REAR WHERE HE WOULD NOT SEE OR EVEN BE AWARE OF YOUR ACTIONS UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE.
AGAIN, AS HE WAS SEEN USING A PIECE OF THE BLOODY SHIRT TO WIPE AWAY FINGERPRINTS, IT MUST BE ASSUMED HE THOUGHT HE HAD LEFT SOME (IN FACT HE HAD) AND ONE MUST WONDER WHY SOMEONE WHO WAS SO ORGANIZED AND CONTROLLING IN EVERY OTHER ATTACK, LET THIS ONE GO SO BAD AND LEAVE EVIDENCE....
FINGERPRINTS IN THE CAR, DRIVER BESIDE YOU WHERE HE MIGHT SEE OR GRAB THE GUN, GLOVES FORGOTTEN IN THE CAR AND LOTS OF WITNESSES.
LET'S NOT EVEN MENTION THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD AND OTHER BODY MATERIAL HE MUST NOW BE COVERED IN...HOW DID HE INTEND TO RETURN TO SAFETY?
BUS? ANOTHER TAXI/ WALK...HOW FAR CAN YOU WALK ON PUBLIC STREETS IN A WELL-TO-DO NEIGHBOURHOOD AT 9:55 AT NIGHT COVERED IN BLOOD? AND YET HE WAS NOT SEEN AGAIN THAT NIGHT AS FAR AS WE KNOW, UNLESS ONE ACKNOWLEDGES THE 'SIGHTING' BY THE 2 PATROLMEN.
DID HE LIVE NEARBY AND IN FACT WAS TAKING A TAXI HOME...OR AT LEAST CLOSE TO HOME?
HERE'S WHAT I BELIEVE HAPPENED.
ZODIAC WAS TAKING A TAXI HOME, MAYBE JUST CLOSE...A FEW BLOCKS AWAY JUST IN CASE. HE MAKES SMALL TALK, HE WANTS TO GUAGE THE 'PUBLIC' REACTION TO ZODIAC SO HE ASKS THE DRIVER ABOUT ZODIAC..MAYBE HE WANTS TO HEAR HOW SMART THE DRIVER THINKS ZODIAC IS BUT PERHAPS PAUL DOESN'T AGREE. HE THINKS ZODIAC IS AN IDIOT, A BABY ..A FOOL...WHATEVER....I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT PAUL SAID OR DID THAT PISSED ZODIAC OFF, AND AS HE ALWAYS CARRIED A 'CLEAN' GUN' (WOULDN'T WANT TO BE STOPPED WITH ONE OF THE 'KILLING' ONES) AND HE REACTED AS HE HAD TAUGHT HIMSELF, AS HE HAD ALLOWED HIMSELF, MAYBE EVEN AS HE HAD BEEN TAUGHT TO REACT AND PULLED OUT THE GUN AND IN ONE SWIFT, PRECISE MOVEMENT, KILLS HIM.
REALIZING HE HAD MADE AN ERROR, HE CLEANS UP BUT FORGETS HIS GLOVES. HE DOES HOWEVER HAVE THE ZODIAC'S SENSE OF OPPORTUNITY AND SCOOPS UP THE SHIRT FIGURING HE MAY JUST AS WELL CAPITALIZE ON THE MURDER AND BE ABLE TO PROVE HE DID IT.
I BELIEVE THAT EVEN IN THE FACE OF MURDER AND THE RISK OF BEING CAUGHT, HE STILL HAD THE 'ADVERTISING' SENSE TO REALIZE THE FUTURE 'P.R.' VALUE OF THE INCIDENT AND TAKE THE SHIRT PIECE.
OFF THE WALL.......UNLIKELY OR TOO FAR-FETCHED?
CHECK OUT AN UPCOMING SECTION REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF HIS BEING MILITARY AND THE VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE PRESIDO....A MILITARY BASE NOT 2 BLOCKS AWAY.
