Two raccon hunters spotted a late model Chevy parked outside the Benicia Water Pump House the same time,except there was no occupant(s) inside. A heavyset man with a military crewcrut with horned rimmed glasses ,wearing navy blue nylon jacket and dark clothing was spotted with a pistol on the Borges Ranch ,what appeared to be target shooting. A witness years later,told author Robert Graysmith that a man with the same description gave him the chills,before nightfall settled in because the lone individual was staring at the witness a few hundred yards down a country hillside.Earlier on at the Lake Herman Pump House,just prior to the arrival of Faraday and Jensens,another couple parked in that same location only to outrun another vehicle chasing them at high speed south towards the Benicia Freeway onrampHeres more on that chase-
the person who was chased was named Crow. He tells his story here:

    There are several offenses/court cae#’s that came up in his background check,and several offshoots of that name such as WILLIAM JOSHUA GRANT/ WILLIAM JOHN GRANT/ WILLIAM JAMES GRANT,etc. I am not sure if these are due to typos,or if he used aliases,or if somehow the reports is also pulling up info for different WILLIAM GRANTS. But most of the reports seem to have a connection to RIVERSIDE

    In addition there is also a SANTA BARBARA offense(Domingos/Edwards connection?)

    There are also multiple civil judgements regarding his name as well.

    There are 2 mailing addresses on file,both in Fairfield,one is a PO BX and the other a residential address. I just mapquested it,and Fairfield is a whopping 17 miles from Vallejo and 32 miles from San Fran!! . He has lived here for several years. His wife passed away a couple years ago. At the time of the Zodiac attacks he lived in Suisun City,also about 17 miles from Vallejo.

    UPDATE: found this regarding aliases- Subject Name: William J Grant
    Listed Aliases: William J Grant, Bill J Grant, Marion M Grant
    Listed Dates of Birth: Mar 06, 1920
    Listed Ages: 89

  • there was a BILL GRANT who was a member of …….” DIABLO NUMISMATIC SOCIETY” You remember Zodiac mentioning Mt Diablo,right?
