feels no guilt in doing so. The earliest objects of his cruelty are often animals.”
Though Allen was working toward a degree in biology, he hadn’t yet requested permission from the state to dissect and experiment on small animals. He would file an application for a scientific collecting permit with the Resources Agency of the California Department of Fish and Game. “I intend to collect the following species,” Allen would write, “chipmunks–number indefinite. I expect to collect in the following localities: Marin County, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, (Possibly Solano, Napa and Lassen). I desire to collect by the following methods: Live traps (Havahart and home-made).” He was under the sponsorship of Dr.John D. Hopkirk, an associate professor of biology of Sonoma State College, where Allen majored in biological sciences and minored in chemistry.
Forty-five minutes after racing off, Allen returned. They heard his old clunker approaching, and were outside to meet him as he parked. A cloud of dust arouse. “It was nice seeing Allen drive up and really introducing ourselves.” Toschi said later. “Both of us said, ‘Leigh, how are you–we’re San Francisco police inspectors.’ His car was dirty. Through the dirty rear window, we could see clothes, papers, and books in the backseat. He was frightened when he showed up because he had never had two detectives actually talking to him with a warrant in hand and we took him by surprise–the first time he had met two cops who meant business, face to face, inches away, and he didn’t know if we were going to arrest him.” Because Leigh was into a lot of other stuff, he wasn’t sure, at first, who had brought the police to his trailer.
The huge chemist crawled out of his car.
“What’s all this about?” he said coolly.
Allen didn’t recall Toschi and Armstrong from their visit to the refinery a year ago. He should have remembered, or might have been shamming.
“We want to talk to you, Leigh,” said Armstrong. “We have a search warrant for your trailer and for your person. We have information that you are a very good suspect in the Zodiac murders.”
Allen explained he thought Zodiac had been arrested. “Besides, i live in Vallejo,” he added, “and I’ve already talked to Vallejo P.D.”
“We know,” Toschi said. “Here’s your copy of the warrant.”
“Well, help yourself,” conceded Allen with a shrug.
