I think I might have almost become a Kearney victim way back in 1974. His photo looked very familiar to me, , except he was clean-shaven, but same bald pattern and glasses, 30-ish and slight build. Does anyone know what make of car Kearney drove in 1974, as I couldn’t find ny mention off it online? My incident involved a man in an orange VW Beetle, just off the 101 Highway in Santa Maria, CA as I was walking home....
I am sort of hesitant to post a link to this site because there are a couple of things that I don't feel right about on it (the first being that David Hill was cleared by LE and they are naming him as a suspect, etc.), but there is a person who believes that he encountered Patrick Kearney in Santa Maria, CA (Santa Barbara County, CA, north of Ventura County, where Johnnie went missing from). If Patrick Kearney was "cruising" for victims that far north, it is definitely possible that he cruised Ventura County as well. Quoting Russell from March 8, 2010 at 1:26 pm --

Bobby, have you considered asking a library to look up the street where the party was, in a criss cross directory from that year? It might be possible to pin down more about where he was that night?
Already got a response back:
Dear Bobby,
I don't know whether I can find a copy of this or not. I will try finding something though.
It may take me a while.
