ACCORDING TO BRYAN HARTNELL IN AN INTERVIEW TO KCRA TV ON OCTOBER 7 1969 ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER THE ATTACK ON HIMSELF AND CECILIA SHEPARD IN WHICH HE WAS SEVERLY WOUNDED AND SHE WAS KILLED, ZODIAC WAS...."MEDIUM TO SHORT IN HEIGHT,KIND OF PAUNCHY"
CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG BUT THAT DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO LEE ALLEN AT 6 FOOT OR 6 FOOT ONE AND 250 POUNDS.
IN THE KILLING OF PAUL STINE, ANOTHER VERIFIED ZODIAC DEED, 3 WITNESSES DESCRIBED THE ATTACKER AS ABOUT 5 FOOT 8 TO 5 FOOT 9, HEAVY SET WHITE MALE WEARING GLASSES.
IN EVERY PICTURE I HAVE OF LEE ALLEN HE IS NOT WEARING EYEGLASSES AND ONCE AGAIN THE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION IS COMPLETLY UNLIKE HIM.
IN THE ATTACK UPON MIKE MAGEAU AND DARLENE FERRIN IN WHICH DARLENE WAS KILLED AND MIKE SURVIVED, HE AND DARLENE WERE SHOT BY ZODIAC AND A FEW MINUTES LATER ZODIAC CAME BACK AND SHOT THEM AGAIN 2 MORE TIMES EACH. IT WAS CLEAR IN HIS MIND WHAT ZODIAC LOOKED LIKE AND THE DESCRIPTION HE GAVE THE POLICE WAS AS FOLLOWS....THE MAN WAS WHITE, 5' 8" TO 5 ' 9" STOCKY AND IN HIS LATE 20'S.
NEED I SAY MORE.
ALTHOUGH HIS GENERAL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF ZODIAC'S, SO IS THAT OF PERHAPS MILLIONS OF OTHER YOUNG MEN AT THAT TIME.
AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST VERIFIED ZODIAC KILLING HE WOULD HAVE BEEN NEARLY 40 YEARS OLD......I THINK NOT CONFUSABLE WITH SOMEONE IN THEIR 20'S.
APART FROM A LOVE OF SILENT MOVIES ...OF WHICH RED PHANTOM WAS ONE OF THOUSANDS AND AN UNFORTUNATE CHOICE OF NAMES CHOSEN BY ZODIAC, I SEE NO CONNECTION WORTH MENTIONING.
