I am looking into how Sam Bowers could possibly tie into this, other than the Christmas Card and the fact that he was an Imperial Wizard in the KKK, and found something interesting.
"He was convicted eight years ago for the 1966 firebombing of the home of the shopkeeper, Vernon F. Dahmer Sr., 58, who had allowed fellow blacks to pay their poll taxes and register to vote in his store."
Where was Dahmer's son, Vernon Jr, when this happened?.....
"Mr. Dahmer was stationed in Riverside, Calif., with the Air Force when he got the phone call about the firebombing. When he arrived at home at 9 a.m. the next day, his father was dead and the house was still smoking."
And, of course, Cheri Jo Bates is murdered in Riverside later that year. Probably a coincidence.
I haven't really found any direct links between Bowers and the Riverside area, or San Francisco for that matter, although he was good friends with Dennis Mower of the Minutemen. Mower lived in Hollywood all throughout the 60's, which is not far from Riverside.

going back through this just now. ok...let's look at this now, especially, in light of the new article with the CABBY RAY DAVIS shot and killed in Oceanside 1962. oceanside is about 1/2 hour from San Diego, and who lives in San Diego? And he drives the body to the Mayors house and dumps the cabby body there and then takes the cab 1 1/2 miles away. There is a book found in the car DANCE WITH THE DEAD. And the cabby is killed April 10, 1962. He and his brother Jack Nelson Davis had just moved to Oceanside that January. Where did they move from, oh you know, MICHIGAN.
Here is the thread with all the info on that. I'm still working on gathering info but there is a lot of info on the thread to look at. So being the Minutemen, a few in particular were down in that area, maybe we should see what in that case might hook up with all of this.
here is the thread
