Marian Schiager murdered in Alameda County 1961

RE:Marian Schiager murdered in Alameda County 1961.

Her case featured a "gallows" style execution, her being tied and stabbed, and her husband receiving anonymous calls after her death. A sketch showing a guy with a roundish face, was released in her case.

A guy that is living in some sort of fantasy word, and capable of wearing an executioners hood, and attacking a couple like Z was, may certainly be capable of killing a victim, and making it look like a mock gallows execution. Since this woman was killed in Alameda County, not real far from Pleasanton, where Z sent both confirmed & unconfirmed letters from, I am placing her here as a possible early Zodiac victim.
