Does anyone have a verifiable source on Roger Pattersons height? It may not seem important right now, but I'd like to find his exact height if its at all possible. Anyone? Thanks.

5' 3" according to this web site....why?

edit to ask why?

I'm probably going to need something more than that link, but I thank you very much for looking and for the link. I'm looking for something more like a photo of his ID or other official type document that may hold this information. Perhaps his arrest record or warrant may contain something like this. (or a photo of him with scale or measure height)

As to the why I'm checking some measurements based on his height and cast lengths and I want to be as exact as possible.

I'll keep looking, I'm not seeing much.

check Ancestry.com to see if he has an enlistment record (maybe WW2?), they often carry details about personal appearance. If you aren't registered at Ancestry you'll need to go down to your public library which has free membership. Good luck!

Tug!, where are you? Aren't you the official scribe?

File a FOIA request for his Army records. His was born Febuary 14, 1933 in Walls South Dakota.

Thats a great idea if there is nothing already out there with this info.

Loren Patterson, Roger's oldest brother said that Roger was 5' 4" as opposed to the rest of the boys who were 5' 7" to 5' 8".

I would think Long's book would have his height in there. The guy seemed obsessed about pointing out how short Patterson was.

Based on the picture of him holding 14.5" casts, he's about 4'6" (lol)
