Leigh Allen had to pass psychiatric tests while he was at Atascadero. He would show no emotion and act like he was drugged. One of the tests was called TAT , (Thermatic Apperception Test.) He was asked to make up stories based on simple line drawings portraying people in various situations. This would reveal aspects of his subconscious feelings and personality. It showed a violent fantasy life. A highly emotional individual unable to establish normal social contact.
They decided to give him a lie-detector test. These are not too accurate and they hand back a false positive about fifteen percent of the time. These measure pulse, blood pressure, and breathing and can be tricked or altered by those who are good at not telling the truth. Allen was good at this. One time he seemed to break down crying when interviewed but when he brought his head up he had no tears on his face. His eyes were dry.
Note:
I want to mention the web site of the second man who called me around 12-21-12 on my ad in the S. F. Chronicle. Rocardo Gomez has about the most elaborate site I've ever seen. Naturally, it's about the Zodiac. It's very eye catching and has a colorful crawl moving from right to left on the screen. The site is mk-zodiac.com. Once you get into it you then understand what the mk stands for.
Ricardo and I, along with John Linn from San Bruno, Ca., have contact on the phone on a regular basis. It took a lot of work, on the part of Ricardo, to fill this site. The same goes for John Linn. He has written dozens and dozens of papers on the Zodiac killings.
Ricardo and I have a similar interest in the psychological profiles of serial killers. I have, and Ricardo recently purchased, all four PSYCHO movies on DVD's. He had #1 (1960), and purchased #'s 2 (1983), 3(1986), and 4(1990). There is a lot of material in these movies and you pick up some-thing new every time you watch them.
