Arthur Leigh Allen (18 December 1933 - 26 August 1992): In July 1971, a friend of Allen reported his suspicions about him to the Manhattan Beach Police Department, and the report was forwarded to the SFPD.[1] When questioned later, Allen claimed without prompting that the bloody knives he had in his car the day of the Lake Berryessa attack had been used to kill chickens; and when asked if he had read The Most Dangerous Game, he replied affirmatively and said it had made an impression on him.[1] This interested the police, as the 408 character cipher appears to reference that short story. Allen was the only suspect in the case whom police had enough evidence against to execute not just one, but three search warrants: on 14 September 1972; 14 February 1991; and 28 August 1992, two days after he died.[1][2] Allen denied his guilt in interviews but there was much circumstantial evidence against him.[3][4] Police found no physical evidence to prove that Allen was the Zodiac Killer, and the Vallejo PD chose not to press charges against Allen, a felon, despite finding weapons and explosive components in his home following the 1991 search.<[3] Ultimately, Allen's fingerprints and handwriting did not match the Zodiac's, no concrete evidence linking him to the Zodiac killings was ever found, and recent DNA testing on the Zodiac letters in 2002 did not provide a match.[5][6] However, neither Vallejo nor SFPD ruled Leigh out after the test results.

[edit] RFA opposition

  1. Oppose. I have seen Yuser act aggressively to modify other's user pages on more than one occasion, and threaten the user when reverted. I have also seen him/her warn users who didn't archive their talk, in spite of the fact that no guidelines or policies exist requiring that. I was also concerned when s/he declined to unblock a user, thus giving the false impression that s/he was already an admin. I also wasn't happy to see him/her closing Afds which did not have clear consensus. This too, has happened more than once. I was also quite surprised that when mediating a dispute, Yuser didn't bother to read the article and take action to rectify the egregious violations of WP:BLP, where living people were actually accused of being serial killers with no sources given to support the assertions. Taken as a whole, I don't see someone who is ready to be trusted with admin tools. I don't think Yuser knows the difference between being bold and running riot. If this is what we see now, I am highly concerned at the possible problems that can ensue if Yuser were given actual power and authority.
