The most immediate link between Doerr and the Zodiac Killer? He consistently matches the physical descriptions made of Zodiac by survivors and eyewitnesses.

Doerr was 42 years old in 1969, when Zodiac was said to be anywhere from 35 to 45, of equivalent height, similarly sported a crew cut, and looked not dissimilar to the famous composite sketch of Zodiac made by police officers believed to have encountered him.

And while the photo of a young Doerr shows him without glasses and sporting a beard, according to Doerr's own daughter Gloria, he periodically wore glasses throughout his life and also switched between facial hair and clean shaven styles.

Though Doerr's weight yo-yoed throughout the 1970s, he indeed had the same "stocky" build that was used to describe the Zodiac at the time his crimes were perpetrated.

While Doerr largely matching Zodiac's apparent physical attributes doesn't alone make him a prime suspect, when tied together with the rest of Kobek's findings it certainly adds fuel to the fire.
