CERTAIN THINGS SEEM TO BE LOGICAL, AND LOGIC, MOST OFTEN, IS TRUTH.
HERE'S WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE TRUE.
1. HE WAS MALE
2. HE WAS WHITE SKINNED
3. HE WAS ABOUT 5 FOOT 8 INCHES TO 5 FOOT 9 INCHES IN HEIGHT.
4. HE WAS SOMEWHAT "CHUBBY" WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR THE POLICE 'WING WALKER' PRINT/WEIGHT ESTIMATE OF 210 POUNDS. THIS WOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH A NORMAL AMERICAN MALE AGE 25 TO 35 HAVING AN AVERAGE WEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 180 POUNDS, PLUS AN AMOUNT ONE MIGHT CALL THE 'CHUBBY FACTOR'.....PERHAPS 25 POUNDS OR SO.....(SEE LINK BELOW)
5. HE IS NOT A TRADITIONAL HETEROSEXUAL IN THE SENSE THAT HIS EXPERIENCES WITH WOMEN ARE EITHER NONEXISTANT OR SEVERELY LIMITED...AND MOST LIKELY UNPLEASANT. I SAY THIS BASED UPON HIS WORDS...."ROCKS OFF WITH A GIRL"...
WOULD A 30 YEAR OLD MAN REFER TO WOMEN AS 'GIRLS'?
WOULD A 30 YEAR OLD MAN NEED TO ADD ...'WITH A GIRL' WHEN HE REFERS TO GETTING HIS ROCKS OFF?
ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS THAT HE IS GAY BUT I RATHER DOUBT THAT SINCE HE DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY DEFINED IDENTITY.
IN EITHER CASE HE HAS SOME SERIOUS DISLIKE FOR FEMALES (PROBABLY BEGINNING WITH HIS MOTHER) AND THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY, IN THE CASE OF MOST OF HIS ATTACKS THE FEMALE IS THE MORE 'VICIOUSLY' ATTACKED.
IN FACT THE ONLY 2 KNOWN CASES OF ZODIAC ATTACK VICTIMS ESCAPING WERE MEN...AND THE WOMEN WITH THEM WERE KILLED..
6. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS BY LEARNED MEN WHO FEEL HE HAS A HIGH DEGREE OF EDUCATION AND IS SKILLED IN DISGUISING IT...I ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE.
HE HAS NOT HAD ANY POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION, AND I WOULD ALSO GUESS THAT HE HAD NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN HIS SECONDARY EDUCATION EITHER...IF IT WAS IN FACT COMPLETED.
THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT HE IS NOT FAKING, NOR CAPABLE OF FAKING HIS WRITINGS AS BEING BENEATH HIS ABILITY. IT IS CLEAR THAT MANY OF THE WORDS HE USES ARE ONLY FAMILIAR TO HIM WITHIN A SPECIFIC CONTEXT HE HAS HEARD AND NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE A REGULAR PART OF HIS VOCABULARY.
7. HE WORKS A REGULAR JOB, PROBABLY 9 TO 5 AND 5 DAYS A WEEK.
THIS IS MADE OBVIOUS BY THE FACT THAT ALL THE ATTACKS WERE ON FRIDAY NIGHTS, WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS....AND ALWAYS VERY LATE.
SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WORK NEED NOT PICK CERTAIN NIGHTS, ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HIS PERSONAL' URGES' REQUIRED HIM TO DO THINGS IN A SPECIFIC FASHION.....MEANING PLACE, TIME OR LOCATION SENSATIVE.
8. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT HE HAS NO FAMILY OR CLOSE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH ANYONE.
IN ANY CASE THIS MIGHT GIVE AWAY HIS ABSENCE DURING CRITICAL TIMES AND DATES.
NO ONE WHO HAS KIDS, NIECES OR OTHER SCHOOL-AGED PEOPLE AROUND THEM COULD EVER NOT SPELL CHRISTMASS CORRECTLY...OR IN FACT BE PERMITTED BY THOSE AROUND THEM...ESPECIALLY KIDS, TO DO SO AND HOW MANY OF US HAVE NOT SENT CARDS OR NOTES AT CHRISTMASS TIME AND KNOW ABSOLUTELY HOW CHRISTMASS IS SPELLED.
COULD YOU SEND SUCH A MIS-SPELLED WORD TO YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS..EVEN KIDS, AND NOT HEAR ABOUT IT?...NOT ME! THEREFORE WE MUST CONCLUDE THAT HE HAS NO SUCH CONNECTION WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY.
9. ALTHOUGH HE HAS A 9-5 JOB 5 DAYS A WEEK, I FEEL HE DID NOT HAVE A POSITION OF ANY AUTHORITY AS HE WOULD HAVE LORDED IT OVER HIS UNDERLINGS AND FOUND REFUGE IN THAT.
I CAN ONLY ASSUME HE KEPT HIS RAGE TO HIMSELF AND SAVED HIS ANGER FOR THE POLICE AND IN FACT I WOULD EXPECT HIM TO BE ALMOST 'COWED' IN HIS WORK LOCATION...IMPOTENT TO OPPOSE THE DAILY SCORN AND FRUSTRATIONS UNTIL HE CAN "DO HIS THING"..
10. HIS HATRED FOR THE POLICE AND HIS OVERPOWERING DESIRE TO EMBARRASS AND BEST THEM MAKES US REALIZE HE MAY HAVE HAD DEALINGS WITH THEM BEFORE
HIS ANGER TOWARDS THEM IS NO MORE THAN A RANT HOWEVER,AGAINST ALL WHO HAVE DISAPPOINTED HIM....THE POLICE ARE MERELY "CONVENIENT" ENEMIES.
HE IS EXTREMELY SENSATIVE TO HOW OTHERS DEAL WITH HIM AND WOULD HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH AUTHORITY FIGURES BEFORE...DEALING WITH THEM UNSUCCESSFULLY.
IT IS EXTREMELY POSSIBLE THAT HE IS MILITARY OR EX-MILITARY AS THERE ARE SEVERAL 'MILITARY' CONNECTIONS INCLUDING THE BOOTS, GUNS AND 'COSTUME' HE MADE WHICH MIGHT BE SEEN AS A SORT OF ZODIAC 'UNIFORM'.
THE NIGHT OF THE ATTACK AT LAKE BERRYESSA, HE DID NOT WEAR HIS COSTUME FOR A 'DISGUISE' , AFTER ALL, HE WAS GOING TO KILL THEM, WHAT WOULD IT MATTER IF THEY COULD SEE HIM.
RATHER I BELIEVE HE WANTED THEM TO SEE HIM, AND TO KNOW THAT IT WAS HIM...THE ZODIAC. THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE OUTFIT COMPLETE WITH A 'BADGE' PROVING WHO HE WAS.
HE WANTED TO, AS IT WERE, PUT THE 'FEAR OF ZODIAC' INTO THEM.
BRYAN'S REACTION UNFORTUNATELY, ACCORDING TO HIS TESTIMONY WAS NOT ONE OF RECOGNITION AND THIS, IN FACT MAY HAVE COMPLETELY ANGERED ZODIAC AND PUSHED HIM OVER THE EDGE TO THE ABNORMALLY VICIOUS STYLE OF THE ATTACK.
