Linton Mohammed
Forensic Handwriting & Document Examiner/Expert Witness/Author
Mohammed, Ph.D. (San Francisco, CA), is a Past-President of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners [ASQDE] and a member of similar organizations in Canada and England. He’s testified in more than 100 trials in the U.S., the Caribbean & UK. Mohammed and a concurring colleague found hand-printing “similarities” between a taunting 1971 “D.B. Cooper” letter and the signed boarding pass of “Dan Cooper.” And now he’s been recruited to compare the handwriting of our Zodiac suspect to the serial killer’s 22 code-filled letters.
