8
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.479
Good morning, True seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
9
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.960
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
10
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.200
We are waiting for Harriet Soouchet to join us today,
11
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.120
So for now I'm going to go ahead and get
12
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.120
started on the continuing information, and we're going to go
13
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.079
ahead and flip on over to the presentation. At this point,
14
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.760
and we'd left off talking about Jack actively having attempted
15
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.000
to hurt in Jermaine, who knows what it was was
16
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.599
in his mind at the time, throwing hot water on
17
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.280
people coming in with a gun. Needless to say, he
18
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.280
had been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, and
19
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.480
we noticed that he had bonded out underneath the last
20
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.719
name Torrance with an O instead of Terrence with an A.
21
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.519
As we continue through the presentation, we start to see
22
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.760
that it did actually revert to his real name, at
23
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.879
least to the degree that he was given counsel for
24
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.400
representation in this criminal act, and he had a piece
25
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.760
of paper in his belongings that indicated notice of responsibility
26
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.920
for payment of appointed counsel and right to hearing. So
27
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.840
that was an interesting thing I hadn't seen before because
28
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.400
I automatically assumed if they gave you representation or your
29
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.879
entitled direct representation, that was not something that you necessarily
30
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.479
paid for. But it appears as though back in nineteen
31
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.759
eighty three that was something that was happening. So on
32
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.840
September first of nineteen eighty three, Jack was ordered to
33
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.840
peer before the court and he has provided counsel at
34
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.479
that time. During this he purportedly received sixty days and
35
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.919
three years probation, but based on the paperworking activities that
36
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.919
I have, it appears that it was more like thirty
37
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.439
days and one year probation. And we're going to continue
38
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.039
on through that information that tells us about that. So
39
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:47.080
right after obviously this arrest and being given counsel and
40
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.000
appearing in court, we see that Jack is quickly attempting
41
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.680
to sell guns. I did attempt to locate this John K. Flannery,
42
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.639
who actually purchased a thirty eight caliber Smith and Wesson
43
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.439
model number fifteen before has a serial number on it.
44
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.439
I'm not sure exactly how I could track something like
45
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.199
that without having access to law enforcement, but I did
46
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.800
want to reach out to this John Flannery. I did
47
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.599
locate him in the real Inda area, which was consistent
48
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.639
with the paperwork and Jack's paperwork which we're going to
49
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.400
be talking about, but I wasn't able to actually make
50
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.919
contact with anybody. I was hoping maybe I could get
51
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.479
a hold of a child or somebody who had inherited
52
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:33.680
this gun after the fact. See, mister Flannery picked up
53
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.800
his thirty thirty. So there's actually two guns that are
54
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.240
be enlisted here, the thirty eight caliber and then the
55
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.360
thirty thirty. Let's see here. So on September ninth, Jack
56
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.919
is selling the thirty eight caliber to John Flannery of
57
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.400
four twenty Lilac Lane, Reel, Indo, California. I did have
58
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.560
a phone number of nine one six nine nine one
59
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.599
two four zero eight, but all of that led me
60
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.639
kind of to a dead end. It does mean that
61
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.479
he has taken some time to clear up his affairs,
62
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.719
as I had indicated, because he clearly is not in
63
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:09.000
jail attempting to sell guns. Though I hear these days
64
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.479
just about everything as possible. I have recently been talking
65
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.800
to somebody who was released from prison for trafficking, and
66
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.639
I found it quite comical that he had indicated that
67
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.839
they could still get drugs inside of the prison. And
68
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.439
this is something you hear about. You don't really know
69
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.600
about nothing you can put your thumb on. But we
70
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.160
continued the conversation because he had indicated that he had
71
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.680
quit doing the drugs and of course had straightened up,
72
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.959
but that it was still very real to be able
73
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.879
to obtain those in prison. And one of the statements
74
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.920
that he had made was that what would normally have
75
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.399
costed him twenty dollars on the street costs four hundred
76
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:54.079
in prison. And I was about floored. Hi, good morning, Nolan,
77
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.560
Welcome to the show.
78
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.639
A couple if he got three days, it would have
79
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.079
been county jail. It wou would not have been prison.
80
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.879
And then no, no, no, no, no, we're not I'm on prison
81
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:05.959
with someone else.
82
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.120
Someone else, Okay, yeah, yeah, the prior slide. If he
83
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.680
got court appointed counsel, either a public defender or a
84
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.759
panel attorney. He would have had to qualify for that,
85
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.839
which means he had to tell the court that he
86
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.720
didn't have any money. Oh yeah, So he's holding out
87
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.800
to the public or to the court anyway that he's
88
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.279
semi indigent at.
89
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.079
That point, right, well, and that would make me then
90
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.639
question whether whether or not he had actively gone to
91
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.480
work for Hewlett Packard at this point as well, then, right,
92
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:41.079
I mean.
93
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.240
I thought he was with Hewlett Packard in rose Bels.
94
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.920
It says nineteen eighty three, but we don't have a
95
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.480
specific date or time for that, so it's kind of
96
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.720
just thrown in here, maybe not even chronologically ordered. I
97
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.879
just know that that in nineteen eighty three at some
98
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.279
point he had attained that job with Hewlett Packard. So basically,
99
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.199
in order to get this type of help, you're saying
100
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.399
that he is partially indigen.
101
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.680
Yes, or he is asserting that to the court whether
102
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.040
it's true or not. But he's a private lawyer.
103
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.759
No, he's not. And that kind of goes along with
104
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.399
what we know about Jack not really having jobs for
105
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.639
most of his life, and we see him selling a
106
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.279
bunch of things. So I don't know if he's selling
107
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.839
them to quickly off them or if he is selling
108
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.560
them to make ends meet for this particular act.
109
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.040
I think one of his gripes in some of the
110
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.879
communications he sent out over the years is that he
111
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.160
doesn't feel like he's been adequately compensated for the stuff
112
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:41.600
he's done.
113
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.639
Yes, that is something that Harriet had literally throughout the
114
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.800
Zodiac period, and some time after the Zodiac had stated
115
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.079
that the ciphering of the messages had come out to
116
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.120
is that he was not getting paid and that he
117
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.680
was upset that he was in fact doing his job. Well,
118
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.439
that makes a little more sense out of that then,
119
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.439
So definitely we're still looking for possibly him not actively
120
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.439
going to work for Hewlett Packard until after this point
121
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.920
to begin with. So aside from that, like I said,
122
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.480
I had assumed that there was a possibility that he
123
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.439
had not gone straight away to jail to do his time,
124
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.279
that the courts had allowed him some time to handle
125
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.399
his affairs. And we see this particular sale of guns
126
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.759
that's occurring on September eighth of nineteen eighty three, which
127
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.720
is merely eight days after his court appearance that we
128
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.639
saw there where he was granted an attorney, and that
129
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.120
would lead me to believe. That's why this paperwork leads
130
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.639
me to believe that he didn't didn't go in and
131
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.839
actually serve that time immediately. Now, if somebody's given something
132
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.199
like sixty days, don't they get good time or good
133
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.279
behavior time or something like that.
134
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.000
Generally they do half of it. So that would be
135
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.199
explain the thirty days.
136
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.920
And that's about the time that I think that I
137
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.279
can pinpoint or nail down that he was actively in jail,
138
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.319
because I see so much other activity that's occurring that
139
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.560
I'm not sure if he could handle that in court,
140
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.759
like selling gun or in jail, like selling guns. How
141
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.079
are you selling guns if you're in jail.
142
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.079
Yeah, And it obviously wasn't a felling. It had to
143
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.800
be a misdemeanor. What's that because once you have a felling,
144
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:26.959
you got to give up your guns.
145
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.040
I think it did say that they had let me
146
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:34.720
go back, that they had reduced it to a misdemeanor.
147
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.480
So Jack is released on bond for assault and battery
148
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.840
with a deadly weapon in North Highland. Said to being
149
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.799
given thirty days but knowing the system got away with
150
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.960
good behavior. Yeah, I do think that it was reduced
151
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.120
to a misdemeanor, and we talked about that, I think,
152
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.480
or at least I feel like we did last week,
153
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.120
and how somebody has an assault with a deadly weapon
154
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:02.799
that gets reduced to a misdemeanor. That's a very serious crime.
155
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:07.840
Is I just I don't understand the system sometimes. I'm
156
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.200
going to go back to those pictures that we just
157
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.759
flashed across. They're pretty graphic. But I was waiting for
158
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:14.919
Harriet to join us. She's supposed to be coming in
159
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.720
at some point in the early part of the show,
160
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.399
So yes, I wanted to research, like, oh, so, what
161
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.519
I was talking about when you came in with prison
162
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.919
was an individual that I have talked to that had
163
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.840
indicated that they had recently been released from prison for
164
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.519
trafficking drug trafficking, And of course, you know, my inquiry,
165
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:42.399
mine wants to know, can you still get drugs in jail? Yeah,
166
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.679
evidently it's a thing. But the price was astronomical. So
167
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.559
he said, what you could get on the street for
168
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:53.159
twenty bucks would cost you four hundred inside prison, which,
169
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.200
oh my god, Like I can't even imagine the amount
170
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.120
of money the people who are making either smuggling an
171
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.720
in or and who has that kind of money on
172
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.799
the books or otherwise you're clearly not working. So I mean,
173
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.320
what type of clientele could you possibly have that could
174
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.679
cough up four hundred dollars for the same thing you
175
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.799
could get twenty dollars on the street Either way. It
176
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:19.600
kind of solidified what most of us think or weren't
177
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.840
able to put our finger on improve, is that you
178
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:24.279
can still get drugs while you're in jail, in prison,
179
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.720
maybe not jail so much, but I don't know.
180
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:34.200
Yeah, and visitors smuggle it in sometimes even our journeys
181
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:38.159
have been found guilty of smuggling drugs in Oh my dear,
182
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.919
why would you risk your license do something like that?
183
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.159
Exactly? Like, that's no fear. What do you think you're
184
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:48.320
above the law? I don't know. I mean, obviously laws
185
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.639
are for reason, and most of that is to cause
186
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.279
fear in us so that we don't commit them. So
187
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.639
I did try to research where these guns went to.
188
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.240
I wasn't able to act land on this individual or
189
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.240
any of his family members, but I do see that
190
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.720
he is selling more than one gun. So he's selling
191
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.840
a thirty eight caliber and a thirty thirty to this
192
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.120
mister Flannery, and it's saying that mister Flannery picked up
193
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.919
his thirty thirty, and it's signed, and it's on Jack's paperwork,
194
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.879
So it looks to me to be that Jack again
195
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.519
is not in jail at this point. I also wondered
196
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.679
if Jack thought that they might search his home based
197
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.039
on this.
198
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:34.519
Okay, yeah, sorry, not a problem.
199
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.799
And that is another reason to exclude him from the Florence,
200
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.879
Italy murders, which we did have another set of murders
201
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.840
on September ninth of nineteen eighty three, because if Jack
202
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.799
is back here in the Rio Linda area selling guns,
203
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.399
he's likely not off in Florence, Italy, which makes these
204
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:57.159
couples crimes that are happening over there something to consider
205
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:02.919
as far as a worldwide group organization, either just to
206
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:08.320
obtain media sales as far as newspapers and news are concerned,
207
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:13.559
or just part of the group, you know, creating another antistic,
208
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.879
antagonistic type situation where other things may be going on
209
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.960
that they don't want the public to pay attention to.
210
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.360
So on September ninth of nineteen eighty three, Wilhelm Friedrich
211
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:28.440
Horsemeyer and Jens U Rush of Florence, Italy. I already
212
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.120
marked up there, not Jack Meyron Rush. On September ninth,
213
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:37.639
nineteen eighty three, two students from Osnabrook, West Germany. We're
214
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.879
visiting Italy to celebrate an important scholarship Meyer. In just
215
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.519
one they they were found shot to death in their
216
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:47.879
Volkswagen Samba bus in Galuzo. Rush's long blonde hair and
217
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:51.200
small build could have deceived the killer into thinking he
218
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.159
was a female, and the police suspected that the students
219
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:59.919
were gay lovers based on pornographic materials found at the scene. Yeah,
220
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:05.159
very interesting. But back in Texas, on September seventeenth of
221
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.360
nineteen eighty three, twenty one year old Kenneth Dwayne Shorty
222
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.960
Stott in Porter, Texas went missing. So it says that
223
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:17.360
on October third, nineteen eighty three, and ms MCSO deputy
224
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.320
was contacted by the mother of Kenneth Dwayne Scott Stott Sorry,
225
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.799
who reported that Stott had been missing since September seventeenth.
226
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.600
That's quite a long time to allow somebody to go missing.
227
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.039
He gave them two weeks to do something with this guy.
228
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.799
Stott was known to have last been seen at the
229
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.120
Porter Lounge bar in Porter, Texas, leading with two unknown
230
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.120
males in a yellow Ford Maverick. Stott reportedly had approximately
231
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.200
two hundred and forty dollars in cash with him and
232
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.320
was said to be en route to Humble, Texas to
233
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.360
pay down on a truck. Stott's own car was found
234
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.120
abandoned at the Porter Lounge days later. It had been
235
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.720
rumored since nineteen eighty three that Stott was murdered and
236
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.840
