“Was a negro about 40-45 rather shabbly dressed.”
And this is why:
This statement could only have been written by two individuals. This rules out 99.999% or more other possible persons of interest.
This statement is heavily influenced by the novel Gone With the Wind. To support these assertions I have compiled the following statistics and some facts which it seems only I + myself seem to grasp.
202 uses of the words ‘negro’ or ‘negroes’
5 uses of the word ‘shabby’
2 uses of the word ‘shabbily’
Five of the seven uses of a form of the word shabby refer to persons dress.
Following are excerpts from Gone With the Wind for each use of the word shabby or shabbily. You can confirm usage of the words negro and negroes or take my word for it given the setting of the novel in Georgia during the Civil War.
‘Behind them, at a respectful distance, followed a large straggling crowd of neighbors and friends, shabbily dressed, silent.’
‘They were so much more attractive than the town swains who dressed so shabbily and were so serious and worked so hard that they had little time to play.’
‘In other days, Scarlet would have been bitter about her shabby dresses and patched shoes but now she did not care, for the one person who mattered was not there to see her.’
‘They had learned retreating under Old Joe, who had made it as great a feat of strategy as advancing. The bearded, shabby files swung down Peachtree Street to the tune of “Maryland! My Maryland!” and all the town turned out to cheer them.’
‘She picked up Ellen’s paisley shawl to wrap about her but the colors of the faded old square clashed with the moss-green dress and made her appear a little shabby.’
‘She had opened a new house of her own, a large two-story building that made neighboring houses in the district look like shabby rabbit warrens.’
‘Behind the shabby doors of the old houses, poverty and hunger lived-all the more bitter for the brave gentility with which they were borne, all the more pinching for the outward show of proud indifference to material wants.’
How does this pertain to the only ‘two individuals’ that could have written the indicting statement? Following excerpts taken from Jack Olsen's novel, Son.
Jenifer knew for a fact that Ruth described her as “white trash.” It was one of the woman’s pet expressions, culled from Gone With the Wind, her favorite source of wisdom.
Note: 18 uses of the phrase ‘white trash’ in Gone With the Wind.
Jeni wandered to the living room and picked up a sheet of his newest business stationery: “SPOKANE METRO GROWTH. Activists for a Bigger and Better Spokane.” Lately he’d been using the letterhead to write unsolicited municipal advice, mostly to the Spokesman-Review’s letter column. He signed the letters “X. Drew Butler,” a pseudonym inspired by happy hooker Xaviera Hollander and Rhett Butler of Gone With the Wind. To the businesslike Jeni it was a poor substitute for a job.
The fiction about her southern childhood was soon abandoned, though she sometimes slipped into a grits accent to rave about Gone With the Wind. She had her own ideas about the book’s authorship, “I know it says Margaret Mitchell on the cover,” she insisted, “but God in heaven wrote that book.” She had a table of values that she would defend at the slightest disagreement: Women were superior to men, whites to blacks, Southerners to Northerners, conservatives to liberals, and almost any city in America to Spokane, her fiery religious speeches came out of nowhere. “Jesus Lord God in Heaven.”
Jay could sit for hours listening to Mrs. Coe as she spoke wistfully of the plantation life of her childhood, the mammy who never left her side, the quaint darkies. She would cup Freddie’s face in her hands till his mouth stuck out like a guppy’s and say excitedly, “My baby, my boy!”
They sped to his parent's new house, a multilevel Japanese-style home his mother had dubbed Five Pines.

65 references to Twelve Oaks plantation in Gone With the Wind
Mrs. Coe insisted that they tour the condo and she apologized as they walked from room to room. “It’s nothing like mah old house on Twenty-ninth. Such a luuuvly place, Ah had a yard full of lilacs. Ah brought ‘em up from the South.” Gini wondered why anyone would bring lilacs to the Lilac City.
Gini wondered why the woman sounded so much like a caricature of a Southerner, and why father and son seemed so edgy about the performance. Ruth was one of those intense people who draw the energy out of everyone around them. Gini tried to imagine a give-and-take discussion with her. What a challenge!
She asked about the southern accent. He said that his mother had been born and brought up in Spokane. “She likes to pretend, that’s all. She enjoys making up stories."
She hated Spokane-he got that from her. She was spiteful about everybody there, and he was an extension of her spite. He broke out of Spokane for a while, and she broke out of it by pretending to be southern and changing her clothes six times a day. She always called Spokane ‘this little town’ She taught Fred to admire places like L.A. and New York for the power and money. She hung onto him like a mama lion. I’d go to his house and I’d have to wait till she fed him. She’d say, ‘Mah baby boy! Mah Son1’ I’d wait while he did his workouts.
She heard from her unlikely ally, Ruth Coe. “Don’t let Son upset you,” Ruth advised, slipping in and out of her southern drawl. “He’s not worth worrying about, honey. Gordon and I learned that ages ago.” She called her son a liar and a bum and told how he’d demanded a handout at Christmastime the year before.
He told her that he'd been born in Las Vegas and had gone to school there. He told her about his days as a radio disc jockey under the name 'Mark Mitchell (read Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone With the Wind)." She thought, what a lot of names you have.
Lets revisit the statement here for a little deep thinking:
“Was a negro about 40-45 rather shabbly dressed.”
Who speaks like this? Do you know or have you EVER known anyone who speaks like this?
What about the ‘rather’ in the sentence. And the Zodiac’s heavy use of the phrase ‘I shall’?
7 uses of ‘I shall’ in the November 9, 1969 letter alone.
And the Riverside confession letter, “I shall cut off her female…”?
82 uses of the word ‘shall’ or ‘I shall’ in Gone With the Wind
68 uses of the word ‘rather’ in Gone With the Wind
Yes, I certainly did. And I shall never forget March eighth, ninth, or tenth. They are vividly etched in my memory. - Ruth Coe
Peering over the tops of the half glasses that hung from her neck on a lanyard, she threw out Britishisms like “I rather think not,” and airy locutions like “as it were” and “so to speak.” When Gini asked politely if she’d been on the stage, Mrs. Coe snapped, “Hardly!”
Who comments endlessly on the dress of other people?
"He carried around a copy of Buckley's Up From Liberalism with him, though he sometimes criticized the author's casual dress habits." - Son, by Jack Olsen
“Fred still picked out her wardrobe and kept after her to change her style…” - Son, by Jack Olsen
"Through him.......she did improve her dress habits." - Ruth Coe, Son, by Jack Olsen
"I gathered she had gone through periods of being less well dressed and suave..........". - Ruth Coe, Son, by Jack Olsen
I know of two people, AND ONLY TWO PEOPLE, who would opt to speak this way in scenarios based in fantasy for the purpose of wielding power over others. Did they want to be famous and powerful? Well, this is what one of them said at age nine and he never deviated from his goal. I will add here that another way to be ‘famous’ is to be ‘in-famous’.
“In the fourth grade, one of our first conversations, I had some, I was expressing some childhood dream that maybe when I grew up I’d like to be a ballplayer. And I remember he looked at me kind of disappointedly and he said, ‘he didn’t know what vehicle he would choose for his success but he said that his goal was to become as rich and as famous and as handsome and as healthy as he could possibly become.” - Coe Childhood friend
Frederick Harlan Coe - Zodiac Killer, son of the city editor, son of an army intelligence officer, son of a weak father, dominatrix mother, created and lived under monikers to boost his sense of importance and accomplishment, no real sense of self so he contrived one
Ruth Enfield Coe - Likely accomplice in some capacity, wife of the editor, socially alienated, full of spite, lived in a fantasy world
Spite, power, fame, control. These are the motivators of the Zodiac Killer.
