Ugg, that shirt....
A white Zotto tank top, size large, was wrapped around her head. The shirt had blue trim around the neck and arm openings with a red globe graphic in the middle reading "POPULAR, "A World Art," "Best Collection," "London Company," "A 100% quality
I did a cursory search for “Zotto” brand and actually did find one clothing company based in London, but the dates did not line up.
Plus, I can’t imagine a veritable U.K. company massacring the Queen’s English to such a degree.
Traveling in Europe in the ‘80’s I remember cheaply produced casual clothing with random English phrasing plastered on them. Maybe not just European produced, but Chinese as well?
I think you are correct @MagicCityMan. The killer was acquainted with the Doe and s/he covered her face for the reasons you stated. The shirt is more likely linked to the killer, not the Doe.
Would love to hear others’ thoughts on the shirt and if anyone else thinks it could have a possible European connection.
Since Park’s fingerprints were found in Ms. Fledderman’s vehicle, IMO he should be a strong suspect for her disappearance as well as her boyfriend’s murder. Your question as to whether Parks had a Miami area connection is right on point.
I stumbled across a blog that had been written almost a year ago about the crimes that sent Parks to prison, the Brannon homicides. I posted a question asking if the author thought Parks was involved with Fledderman and Blanton. No reply at this time.
The Brannon Homicides Confession
The author stated that she was in touch with Parks. Maybe she would have insight as to if Parks had any connections in Miami/Hialeah? I’d be thrilled if you would like to reach out to her- possibly more discreetly than I did. Thanks!
Still no reply to your post. Did you see in the blog where it said that he wouldn't look at his victim's sister when she made her impact statement?? That gave me a chill. Kinda consistent with covering the face of your victim as your putting her in a box. I'm starting to think @snowgoose is right on the money but I just can't figure out how LE wouldn't have made the connection already in 25 years.
Purely speculating of course....
