00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.280
Good Morning, True seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
9
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.479
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
10
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.840
We are back where we left off last week, which
11
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.719
is going back into Dennis's life as he's trying to
12
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.599
recover from finding out that he believes Jack Terrence is
13
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.200
the ultimate suspect for the Zodiac killings. Of course, at
14
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.040
this point in time, that's really all he has focused on.
15
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.200
He has turned him into the FBI in two thousand
16
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.439
and has worked with the FBI for about a year,
17
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.519
including trying to get DNA done, which we know that
18
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.640
was not completed, or at least not in the same
19
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.680
aspect as twenty on twenty with Harry Phillips when he
20
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:39.200
ran eight other people, including Arthur Lee Allen, successfully Excluding
21
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.400
those eight individuals and most of them we know as
22
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.560
fake suspects from the Tomvoy website or other sites that
23
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.480
have proclaimed that these individuals were good possibilities for the suspect.
24
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.359
In two thousand and one, we see the anthrax mailings
25
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.959
we just came out of that that were mailed, and
26
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.280
Dennis supposes that this was likely something that Jack did
27
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.920
in order to give the FBI some busy work because
28
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.360
he has just been turned in too law enforcement as
29
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.879
a viable suspect. Now in two thousand, as we moved
30
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.680
through two thousand and one, Dennis is trying to make
31
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.319
his life over again back in California, and we start
32
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.919
to see another range of communications that come out which
33
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.520
are to Tom Voight, and of course Tom Voyd denies
34
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.919
that these communications are from the Zodiac Killer. We're going
35
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.439
to be talking about those after we discuss some of
36
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.080
the things that Tom Voy used to carry on his
37
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.919
website with AOL. And I don't know that I don't
38
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.719
think that it's a coincidence that Jack has turned into
39
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.639
two thousand. We have anthrax mailings in two thousand and
40
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.719
one that many of the public back then believed was
41
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.280
from the Zodiac. I thought they were crazy, but here
42
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.360
I am today to talk about it. And then in
43
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.240
two thousand and two, Dennis is not getting the recognition
44
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.719
that he thinks he should be getting people round filing
45
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.599
his evidence. They're saying he's doesn't know what he's talking about,
46
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.960
or that Jack is not actively being investigated because the
47
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.240
hours were not put into him, that was put into
48
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.000
another fake suspect, Debora Perez. So we see the Zodiac
49
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.759
reach out to Tom Voight in two thousand and two
50
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.240
wanting to give the real story, and in two thousand
51
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.000
and three saying I sent you DNA and fingerprints. You know,
52
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.879
I'm telling you the truth, to ultimately being shunned by
53
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.319
the Tom Voight community as well, leading to what I
54
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.280
call is the two thousand and five finale letter. So
55
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.800
we're going to move quickly through Dennis's book at this point,
56
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.840
and I'm going to let you know what's going on
57
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.919
in Dennis's life as he's traversing this particular investigation that
58
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.719
he finds himself all alone in. So, oh, good morning,
59
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:55.159
Welcome to the show. Noe Lenin Lindsey, WOA give morning, Lindsay,
60
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:01.759
can you hear me? I can hear you? Okay? Good, good, okay.
61
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.759
So we're just picking back up on Dennis's book where
62
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.840
Dennis is at when he moves back to California and
63
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.319
is trying to restart his life while navigating the Zodiac
64
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.040
investigation against Jack Terrence. So his book says, Charles and
65
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.279
I met with Tony and he agreed to open up
66
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.120
a new Cellier's store and Charles would run it. I
67
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.560
was looking forward to having my little brother close to
68
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.720
me once again. Charles and his girlfriend Crystal was ready
69
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.000
to go back to Texas and get their belongings and
70
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.279
return to get their new store open. I asked Charles
71
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.600
if he could leave his dad in Texas until they
72
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.480
got their own place, because there wasn't enough room for
73
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.879
all of us in our one bedroom apartment. Charles agreed.
74
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.839
So this is basically stating at this point that Jack
75
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.480
is remaining in Texas while Charles is coming back to California.
76
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.360
Charles and Crystal, and remember Crystal is the girlfriend that
77
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.199
lives one zip code over from Tim Miller. And the
78
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.920
two thousand and five finale letter that I say tries
79
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.279
to wrap up and take credit for many of the
80
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:10.720
crimes in the past sixty years. Charles and Crystal's left
81
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.839
to get their things in Texas and would return in
82
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.160
a couple weeks. Joy was concerned about Jack coming back
83
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.079
around after all that has happened. I assured her that
84
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.720
everything would be all right. Just a few days after
85
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.800
Charles and Crystal left to go back and get their
86
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.600
things from Texas, I get an unexpected visitor at my
87
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.360
front door. It was Jack. I told him that he
88
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.720
could not stay here. Jack said it would only be
89
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.399
for one night and then and then he would stay
90
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.839
at his brother Dawn's that lived only a few miles away.
91
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.319
So Dawn, his brother, is living in Rooseville at this time.
92
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.399
I told Jack that he could only stay until tomorrow.
93
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.720
He agreed. Things were about to take a turn for
94
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.279
the worst. Is this was the beginning of the end.
95
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.600
Throughout the night, Jack kept yelling and banging on the wall,
96
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.279
acting like he was doing this in his sleep. I
97
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.519
had to keep going down and telling him to be quiet,
98
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.240
because then neighbors were banging on the wall yelling at
99
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.120
us to be quiet. Jack would stop for a few minutes,
100
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.720
and then he would start yelling and banging again. I
101
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.360
was getting furious. I could see that Joy was getting
102
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.959
to the point that she couldn't take anymore. I do
103
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.879
not like getting the police involved in anything, but this
104
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.519
is the only way to handle this situation, to prevent
105
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.560
anyone from getting killed or going to jail. When the
106
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.720
police arrived, I explained to them that I did not
107
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.720
want this man in my house. When the police talked
108
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.319
to Jack, in no time, he had them convinced that
109
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.199
he was senile. I glanced over at Jack when the
110
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.079
police officer walked away for a moment, and Jack looked
111
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.959
at me and whispered, see how easy it is. The
112
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.399
officer that walked over to me had told me that
113
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.120
my stepfather has dementia and it is common among older folks,
114
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.120
he said. The officer also told me that he couldn't
115
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.279
make him leave my apartment. I was also informed that
116
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.040
if I kick him out of my house, I could
117
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.279
be charged with a felony for abandonment of an elderly person.
118
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.439
I could not believe how easy Jack had fooled the police.
119
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.240
That's one of those scenarios you never I can't imagine
120
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.879
somebody faking senility when the doctors today can't even actively
121
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:07.680
diagnose it.
122
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:13.000
Yeah, well, I remember you whenever you another time when
123
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:17.480
you read this passage, and I just remember thinking even then,
124
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:24.480
like wow, like what a good use of abuse of
125
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.560
the medical like you know regime.
126
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.199
Oh and and the police as well. I mean, I
127
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.560
couldn't get the police to do anything about my dad
128
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.079
who was being violent with dementia. I couldn't get him
129
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.199
to report it. I couldn't get them to do anything.
130
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:42.759
That too.
131
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.839
But there there was There was no fasilory, there was
132
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.240
no fifty one fifty. And I'm until the doctors had
133
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.480
come to the conclusion that he did, in fact suffer
134
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.959
from dementia. But his fifteen minutes with Kaiser was never enough. Right,
135
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.079
God could.
136
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.040
They're not arrested him, they're not making him leave. Right.
137
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.800
It's my mom's safety I'm concerned for at this point,
138
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.879
because she's literally, you know, in the household, and he's
139
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.560
being violent, he's doing things that Of course, when the
140
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.079
doctors explained to me that, oh, this is just a
141
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.360
side effect of the dementia, this anger and this violent
142
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.399
activity and all of this stuff, I said, no, you
143
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.959
guys don't know who he was. I grew up with him.
144
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.480
All you guys have done is now put that oppressor
145
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.480
right back on me. As if it's my responsibility to
146
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.080
deal with this abuse all over again. So I mean
147
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.360
you until they diagnose him and until he has an
148
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.559
all out like I mean, he was driving his vehicle
149
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.320
when he was told not to. I took the battery
150
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.440
cables off. He walked out and figured out that they
151
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.960
were off, put him back on, drove again, got lost.
152
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.519
I then took the took and put one of those
153
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.519
bars in the steering wheel to lock it up because
154
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.799
I couldn't take his keys. He was very, very particular
155
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.159
about his keys always being on him. My dad always
156
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.120
carried this hunk of keys on the side of his
157
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.120
hips all of my life. I thought, that's going to
158
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.399
throw your hips off either way. He I put the
159
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.240
bar on. That man spent I don't know how many
160
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.440
hours on one hundred and ten degree day out there
161
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.879
with one of those little tiny triangle shaped files, and
162
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.519
he literally saw it right through the steering wheel bar.
163
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.360
Yeah, oh my gosh, and.
164
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.759
Drove and got lost again. And here I am. I'm
165
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.039
I'm proclaiming to DMV. I'm proclaiming to his doctor. Then
166
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.399
I removed the chip, thinking there's no way he'll know
167
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.759
about this chip in his vehicle. That man was capable
168
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.559
of getting somebody from O'Reilly's not only to come out
169
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.679
figure out that that chip was missing, but replace it
170
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:45.879
and drove again.
171
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.200
I'm telling you what it is is like.
172
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.919
A part of their brain, because we have several patients
173
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.720
like this, a part of their brain functions like at
174
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.360
one percent capacity, and so that part of his brain
175
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.240
was working just fine. It was the other part that
176
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.960
was like, you know, where he was getting lost?
177
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.080
Was like his sense of direction was where the dementia was.
178
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:09.759
You know what I mean.
179
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.759
I mean you could.
180
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.679
Easily tell what it's usually what you know if they
181
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:16.480
have venture on.
182
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:17.440
You know what I mean, it's.
183
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:19.360
Yes.
184
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:21.600
It happened the same way with my grandmother.
185
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.519
She she was like at her wits about everything else,
186
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.279
but like when she would go to her she would
187
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.519
go to her doctor's appointments when she was still driving herself,
188
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.600
and she would literally get lost. She started to get
189
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.440
lost every single time and didn't know where she was
190
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.559
and had to call on her cell phone like, hey,
191
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:40.440
I don't know where I'm at.
192
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.159
I thought I was gonna Well, at least you got
193
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:42.840
a phone call.
194
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:43.840
Yeah.
195
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.279
My dad would constantly mess my house after I had
196
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.879
lived there for almost ten years and end up in Reno.
197
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.240
He wouldn't stop and ask for directions. He would he
198
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.759
was too embarrassed. So where they fail, they fail also
199
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.799
to make it up in logical sense, which is, let's
200
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.919
talk talk to somebody and figure out what's going on.
201
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.000
And it was completely lost. But I highly doubt that
202
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.200
that's what's going on with Jack here, because Dennis just
203
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.600
spent the night with him. Dennis would have known if
204
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.399
he was suffering from dementia, because they begin to repeat
205
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.759
themselves every you know, fifteen to twenty minutes, telling the
206
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.879
same story. And that's why I say, Kaiser in their
207
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.000
fifteen minutes sucks. Spend another fifteen with them and you'll
208
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.840
get to hear the same stories you just heard in
209
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.799
fifteen minutes all over again, as if it's brand new.
210
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.679
Yep, he's it before.
211
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.399
Lindsay probably doesn't know because she's not from California. But
212
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.840
fifty one to fifty is the code section for like
213
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.840
a mental health emergency. So a lot of times the
214
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.279
cops will come. They won't take the person to jail,
215
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.639
but they'll take them to the mental health facility for evaluation,
216
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.159
and usually the remainder for seventy two hours. Sometimes they
217
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.120
decide to keep them. Sometimes they release them.
218
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.559
They just came out, damn in a situation.
219
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.440
I think he's causing a disturbance in the house and
220
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:56.679
with the neighbors.
221
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.440
Okay, but he had just come out of the hospital
222
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.360
from an instant where he had to lose a toe
223
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.759
because again he's not thinking logically and his diabetes. He
224
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.360
got a blister, he let it go, It festered and
225
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.480
the toe started to rot. He ends up in the
226
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.559
hospital and he's there and once he's healed and the
227
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.799
amputation is done, they declared they can't keep him anymore.
228
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.960
They don't have a home for him to go to,
229
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.480
but they can't keep him anymore because there's nothing more
230
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.519
they can do for him. And he's basically just taking
231
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.080
up a bed. So he just got put off back
232
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.919
on me to figure out what to do with him.
233
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.559
So there was no fifty and him or getting put
234
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.440
back in the hospital. He was just released and they
235
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.720
already told me there was nothing they could do for us.
236
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.759
And that's another symptom of dementia, is when they start
237
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.559
having issues with their legs and their toes and they
238
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.799
have and they're having to get well.
239
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.919
Diabetes is considered the third, the third dementia third third
