Crimes of crimes. Behind a smiling, secretive facade, he feels vastly inferior, hostile, anxious, and persecuted. Yet that perverse urge to call attention to himself as Zodiac is an itch almost impossible not to scratch. Or was Leigh’s secret that he only thought he was Zodiac?
No one knows what creates a compulsive killer– a missing sex chromosome?– an event during the first six months of life? Whatever the cause, the condition is incurable. Cruel, rejecting, parents and peers create pressures expressed in childhood by bed-wetting, shoplifting, and animal torture. With the awakening of puberty, the anger manifests itself in ever-increasing and cleverly concealed acts of sadism. Sheriff Striepeke’s privately commissioned psychological profile stated Zodiac was a white, unmarried man under thirty-five years old “who tortured animals, had a passive father and dominant mother, and may have spent time in a mental institution.” Meanwhile, Leigh Allen continued to daydream in his trailer and basement. Dwelling in an escapist world of science fiction and the occult, arrogantly intolerant of people, he tended to set his own rules. “I’ve been able to personally study several of these [serial killers] very closely,” Dr.Lunde told me. “Bianchi’s responses on psychological tests are almost verbatim like Kemper’s. The whole sort of thing of seeing animals torn apart and b;odd and animal hearts.”
A psychologist working under condition of Allen’s parole evaluated Rykoff’s tests and findings. When he gave the suspect a projective test, a Rorschach (ink blot) test, Rykoff was warned to look for answers that contained the letter z. “The odds of more than one answer beginning with z are very remote,” the analyst told the detectives before the Rorschach test. “I don’t expect any.” The first two mirror images Leigh was shown reminded him of “a zygomatic arch.” The analyst was shaken by this. He went on. “What do you see in this?” At the end of the tests, he found that Allen had given 5 z responses, far outside the norm. Cabdriver Paul Stine had been wounded in the zygomatic arch by Zodiac.
A doctor’s report on Leigh had said, “He’s potentially violent, he is dangerous,” and “he is capable of killing.” The same analyst thought Allen had “five separate personalities.” Split personalities would explain how he passed a lie-detector test; why his hand printing did not match Zodiac’s. The psychiatrists’ conclusion ???
