William Joseph Grant

I just realized there was no thread on this guy yet. He was one of the more popular suspects due to ex-cop Lyndon Lafferty suspecting him and building a case. He also wrote a book about his suspect. Vallejo PD had a report on Grant:


























Lafferty also believed that Grant was behind the "Celebrity Cipher" card:

Are there any pics of Grant from any time near 1969? The DL pic is the only one I have seen so far and he looked to be around 80 by that time.

Not that I know of, but give this a read: http://zodiackillerfacts.com/myths-legends/darlene-ferrin-myths-the-beginning/darlene-ferrin-myths-the-painting-party-the-stalker-andrew-todd-walker/

Grant was supposedly the attacker of this judge in 1971...



But.... Grant was 51 at the time, so this makes no sense.
