Is This David Lind?
In 1961, a kid named David Lind graduated from Lodi High School. Lodi is located between Sacramento and Stockton, California in the Central Valley.
The age is about right, although I have seen three different birth years for David Clay Lind in my research. Who the heck knows.
What do you think? Here are the few photos of him, along with the ’61 senior yearbook photo. Also, if he was in the Aryan Brotherhood, then Lodi is the place to foster those feelings. To this day, the city is still less than 1% black people by population.
Look at the eyes, eyebrows and the nose, bridge of the nose. Now compare the young Lind’s leftside cheekbone to that of the old, grizzled Lind on the right there… Hmmm. That ear too. WTF!
Call me crazy, but that could be him.

Wow! My opinion is yes! The bone structure and they eyes are the same.

The way the bridge of the nose goes down and meets the same looking nostrils. Geez, it’s uncanny!

It is! I would put money on it that this is indeed David Lind once upon a time.

And I wouldn’t put it past Dave to have graduated when he was 20 or so…LOL. And, he looks like a high school bully to me.

Yeah, I was feeling he looks a little dark there and maybe a loner. I would love to talk to someone who knew him but I do feel he was a loner. I can just hear his mom now “Davey! Put on that nice suit and tie and comb your hair nice for your senior picture! One day people are going to find this and you want them to see how handsome you are!” lol This of course was before he got in touch with his inner bad ass.

from a message board post back in 2008…. I have possibly posted this before, can’t remember:
(Tammy had posted that he died of overdose in 1995)
Hello Tammy My name is Betsy I have a daughter who happens to be the granddaughter of David Lind and i am also in touch with his other daughter.

While we’re posting stuff about Dave… I have to include this. I wish he would have taken Barbara with him that night. Who knows, maybe Barbara was sick of his shit and told him to Get Lost?
“She was very pretty and a blonde. I don’t have any photos but will check with fam and see if they have any that I can send. Not sure what the response will be. Her death was kind of hush hush (for obvious reasons details were not discussed) and very painful for her immediate family. As I remember, she was the apple of everyone’s eye until her late teens when she got into drugs. So sad. The last time I saw her was at a family wedding, she was probably 18 and we spoke only briefly. She was beautiful and kind, but already going down the rocky road. I was hoping to find out some info about her but not much on the internet.”
–Barbara’s cousin in an email.

Wow. That’s so sad. I bet David lived with guilt over not taking her with him. He probably thought she was safe and ok there.

Wow. I saw the episode on ID saturday night and ever since then ive been trying to learn everything I can about this horrible event. Just found this sight a little while ago and I just cant stop reading. Thanks everybody for posting this information.

He has a very sinister look in his yearbook photo.
John W 4:51 pm on July 24, 2013 Permalink |
Yes, he did, Anthony. Those beady lil eyes. He once pulled a gun, allegedly, on one of Barb’s ex boyfriends outside of a pool hall near Sacramento. Killer Karl, the bounty hunter.

I’ve seen two birth dates for Lind, 1938 & 1940 . If this is David Lind, he was held back or failed several grades. Greg Diles graduated at 17. Graduating high school in your early 20’s WOW!

I know my brother.. But nobody has that bridge of the nose. Look at that schnozz. Anyways. I love you all! Just odd that geezer Lind, and con Lind… and high school bully Lind… ALL have the same nostrils. ..and beedy lil eyes.

I have to say, Dave looks pretty rough and haggard to be in his late 40’s early 50’s. I remember seeing that photo of him years ago. I believe this was taken at the first Nash trial. Reminds me of Billy Gibbons of ZZ top without the shades. John I think you’re right. This is David Lind.

I agree. That’s him, man. If the you cover the mouths on the two younger versions with your pinky, the eyes, nose and hair are exactly the same. That’s him….but, holy hell. That pic in the center is almost more menacing than the mug shot. It’s like he was a character in in the 1931 movie, “Reefer Madness”. He’s like the pusher who tries to turn on the soda jerk at the ice cream parlor or somethin’…..Yikes.

When I was a freshman at school, I remember a 19 or 20 yr old guy who was a senior, he kept failing or getting in trouble, suspended etc. This guy dated a freshman chick and he drove a primered and yellow Camaro. I wouldn’t put it past the young Lind to have had a couple stints in juvenile hall either.
dreamweaverjenn 2:13 am on July 25, 2013 Permalink |
Yeah, my feeling is he wasn’t anybody’s dream date for the prom. ❤ I'm sure his mom thought he was sweet once but those eyes scare me……..a lot.
John W 6:54 am on July 25, 2013 Permalink |
And the Assault with intent to commit rape charge on his rap sheet is a doozie as well. I guess someone saved the woman or the cops showed up? Strange. No wonder Tracy McCourt didnt like him.

Who knows? Maybe that WAS his prom date?? I know, that’s mean. He has the kind of eyes you can’t look into for more than a second and you have to turn away. I would have been a nervous wreck around him.
localarts 10:51 am on July 25, 2013 Permalink |
I believe the assault with intent to commit rape occurred in 1970, this would have put Lind in his early 30’s.
Eric Buczynski 10:50 pm on July 27, 2013 Permalink |
Based on the likeliness, do you think that’s still him in the Morton Downey Jr video?

if lind was a member of the Aryan brotherhood why is eddie nash still alive those guys don’t fool around
