There's a ton even ignoring his maybe crazy friend... >Allen was allegedly in Riverside on the weekend when Cheri Jo Bates was murdered. He later claimed to be in Pomona when he heard of Bates' murder. >Allen took his only sick day of the year on Nov.1, 1966 (Bates was murdered on Oct. 30, 1966). >Told police he was going up to Berryessa on the day of the Hartnell/Shepard attack, but decided to go up the coast instead. >Allen admitted to possessing bloody knives on the day of the Berryessa attack, claiming that he used them to kill chickens. (other friend...) >Allen communicated to his friend Philip that he was fascinated with the idea of killing people. He believed that people were more challenging to kill than animals since they were more intelligent. Similar sentiments were communicated during the three-part cipher mailed to newspapers. Allen also mentioned to the police that his favourite book was The Most Dangerous Game, a book about killing humans and possibly alluded to in a Zodiac correspondence. >In 1991, the search warrant for Allen's house found bomb diagrams and the same ingredients for bombs that were mentioned in a previous Zodiac letter. >Karen Allen, his sister-in-law, stated that Allen would use the shortened "trigger mech" in place of "trigger mechanism," as well as spelling Christmas with two S's. Both idiosyncrasies appear in the Zodiac letter to Melvin Belli. This person is either the most unlucky person in the world with all these random associations with the zodiac killer, or was the actual zodiac killer.
