typedPaul Avery in the 90's developed a new lead in the Zodiac case. He choose to keep the information to himself. Just prior to his death he turned this information in to the Department of Justice in San Francisco. He "may" have also let Dave Toschi know some of the info he had been collecting. To my knowledge he never told Tom Voight or anyone else of this "suspect".
It is my understanding that this is some of the information he acquired:
1. His suspect moved from Texas to California in the mid 60's
2. His suspect worked at all the universities and small colleges in Northern california installing fire sprinkler systems. He also worked in Santa Rosa at the Hewlett-Packert plant and at the Solono country fair. Avery discoved that this man had also worked at Century 21 as a real estate agent but was unable to continue the job due to back and knee surgeries and that he the had problems with the women in the office.
3. He was a student pilot at Napa
4. From DMV Avery was able to determine the type of automobiles this man owned. At one time he owned a 1970 Pontiac Catallina the type with the console in the middle. Also during this time period his suspect had become sick and had lost close to 60 lbs and weighed about 160 lbs his normal weight being over 200 lbs.
5. Avery was able to determine that his suspect was about 5 foot 10 inches and had worn his hair in a flatop till 1980. His hair had a reddish tint and the man definately had an Irish look about him. He was barrel chested and was known for being hot headed. He also spoke in a peculiar manner typical of someone raised in the south but with a more deliberate way of pronouncing his words.
6. Avery also found out that this man at one time had a time share in a conduminum at Lake Tahoe.
7. Avery being the sharp reporter he was had somehow acquired the military records of his suspect and discovered his man had spent some time in England.
8. At first Avery tried to crack the case himself and did not reveal any of this information to anyone.
9. Avery found out this man was a Mason and believed that by being a Mason this man had access to information not normally given to other people.
10. Avery to my knowledge turned copious amounts of information to the Department of Justice sometime last year. The information was given to Paul Mulligan who in turn turned it over to a team of investigators who are now looking into this matter. A profiler Sharon Padget was called in one the case and is still actively involved with it.
11. Avery had no illusions about cracking this case since so much time had elapsed and so little physical evident was left behind at the crime scene.
Avery believed that his suspect met Paul Stine while Paul was at San Francisco State college and befriended him. Avery felt this man cultivated the friendship for murderous reasons. Avery was convinced that this man knew the schedlue of Paul Stine and called in for a taxi knowing which way Stine would drive and flagged him down as Paul proceeded to his call.
Funny how Avery kept all of this from his wife. According to her, Paul had absolutely no involvement in the Zodiac case for years prior to his death.
Avery understood that the obsession with the Zodiac case had ruined many lives and destroyed marriages. Paul, most likely did not want his wife to know he was still involved in this case for that very reason. Paul felt this man was the Zodiac but because of the relative lack of physical evidence left behind at the crime scenes Avery felt his suspect he would never be apprehended. Sometimes one reaches an impasse, you know who is the killer but you cannot prove it in a court of law.

Avery had other points:
He knew the suspect's military history
He knew his medical history
He had his employment records and the unions he had worked for
Avery could place his suspect in the areas of all the murders
Avery had from the Texas and California DMV all the automoblies his suspect owned.
I can say this his suspect owned cars that fit the descriptions of some of the cars associated with the Zodiac especially the Pontaic Catalinna.
Avery also knew that his suspect was still alive even up to the time Avery died.
