I also have found corresponding records for a 'SAMUEL ROPER' with the same exact date of birth as Cole,and same date of death....wow EDIT: actually the same date of birth but different date of death still,I have little doubt that since Cole used the name 'sam roper' as an alias, and since they both have same date of birth this is where he got the alias from | |

| Wow...the Riverside connection is hot..this is what I know about the Cindy Lee Mellin case:
Authorities believe that Cindy was abducted from the San Buenaventura shopping center after her shift at the Broadway Department store where she worked part time. Cindy was last seen in the parking lot at work with an unknown white male adult who appeared to assist in changing her flat tire. Having left work in the evening at 9.40 pm, she was last seen by co-workers standing next to her car in the shopping center parking lot while an unidentified male changed her tire. When she failed to return home that night, her father went to the shopping center, finding the car still up on a jack with a flat tire still attached. He said the tire of the vehicle was flat and it was up on a bumper jack. He said the spare tire was laying nearby and the doors and trunk, along with the glove compartment, were open. A closer examination determined that her tire had been deliberately punctured with a sharp instrument on the sidewall. Police theorized that her abductor tampered with her car, waited for her to come out,then offered to help her. (much like the 1966 Cheri Jo Bates case in Riverside) Cindy has not been found. Her father as well noted that his daughter was unable to operate a jack and did not know how to change a tire. Police said an investigation revealed that two of Cindy's co-workers had been picked up by their husbands and drove by Cindy's car about 10:30 p.m.. The co-workers said they saw Cindy standing by the car with a tall, slim man, between the ages of 35 and 40, jacking up her automobile. Cindy was last seen wearing a dark blue dress with red buttons, a brown corduroy coat and blue shoes. She had on a gold pearl ring and was wearing her contact lenses.
She never has been found..

| I think the reason the Mellin case is so interesting is that it combines elements of both the Kathleen Johns & Cheri Jo Bates attacks. I am starting to grow a little wary of this being a zodiac crime,but I have always had a soft spot for both Cindy & Cheri in my heartmand I long to see their cases solved,zodiac related or not. Cheri's Dad died never knowing who killed his Daughter,as did both of Cindy's parents. As a father of a 2 year old myself,I would never stop looking for somebody that hurt my Daughter, and can only imagine the grief the Families of these 2 girls felt. Cheri was murdered horrifically, but at the very least, her Family was able to lay her to rest. Cindy's Family has never had even the comfort of saying their final goodbyes. These are two really hard cases from my own personal standpoint. | |

| Here are 2 links to very interesting videos about the Zodiac killer. In Part 1 there is interresting old video of the 1963 Domingos/Edwards case murder scene !!!. In part 2 there is talked about the Cindy Lee Mellin case and the suspect Edward Nelson Cole. Unfortunatly no image of Edward Nelson Cole. http://www.keyt.com/news/key-news-investigates/4657481.htmlKEY News Special Report: Zodiac Killer Part 1Written by Alys Martinez Story Created: Nov 15, 2006 at 2:38 PM PST Story Updated: Nov 4, 2011 at 1:39 PM PST http://www.keyt.com/news/local/4670276.html (including the Cindy Lee Mellin case) KEY News Special Report: Zodiac Killer Part 2Written by Alys Martinez Story Created: Nov 16, 2006 at 3:42 PM PST Story Updated: Nov 4, 2011 at 1:38 PM PST | |

EDIT: actually the same date of birth but different date of death still,I have little doubt that since Cole used the name 'sam roper' as an alias, and since they both have same date of birth this is where he got the alias from Morf I have reseached the Samuel Roper guy you refere to, and I´m 99% sure he is NOT the Edward Nelson Cole/ Sam Roper guy. He is in South Carolina for many years and his middle name is Wendell, his relatives are non of the names connected to Melody Lee Cole and ENC.

| The 11/16/36 Date of birth for that Sam Roper ghuy you found in South Carolina,matches the same exact date of birth as Edward Nelson Cole. I am not sure how,but I will bet the farm that Cole somehow got Roper's info and knew his date of birth was the same as him,and chose to use his name as an alias. Seagull thinks that that Sam Roper was originally from New York, as was Cole | |

| This sexoffender Edward N Cole, born 10/8/1967 from Florida, I belive is the son of "our" Edward Nelson Cole born Now 16, 1935 . SO I belive this sexoffender, Edward N Cole, is also a brother, or half brother, of Melody Lee Cole aka Melody Ann Smart aka Melody Lee Greco aka Melody Lee Ahmed. There are several Florida mugshots of Melody Lee Ahmed (correct DOB) sexoffender Edward N Cole, born 10/8/1967 from Florida: http://www.homefacts.com/offender-detail/NY23282/Edward-N-Cole.htmlIn the address, 622 MUSKRAT DR, KISSIMMEE, FL 34759, connected to the sexoffender Edward N Cole, born 10/8/1967, both "our" 77 year old Edward Nelson Cole (now dead) and also several other of the correct relatives of both Melody Lee Cole etc, and "our" Edward Nelson Cole is listed. | |
