8
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.280
Good morning, True seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
9
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.399
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
10
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.320
I'd like to welcome to the show today. Nolan del Campo.
11
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:03.799
Good morning everybody.
12
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.920
Good morning. Any exciting cases this last week.
13
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.439
Oh, I got about three new ones. Yes, I got
14
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:14.200
a crazy week.
15
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.599
He does, like the second time I've heard that today.
16
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.079
It has been a crazy week. I'm getting ready to
17
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.599
paint the house tomorrow. On the outside. I finished the inside.
18
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.920
I've been just completely working full on. And then I
19
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.680
took in a probably one of the biggest cases of
20
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.920
my career. I would assume, Wow, we're looking at hundreds
21
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.680
and hundreds and hundreds of cases of embezzlement in the
22
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.719
tune of over six million dollars. So it's it's going
23
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.480
to be insane. They want to bring me in to
24
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.439
and stay locally wherever they're going to put me up
25
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.079
at so that I can go into their office and
26
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.879
go through all their case files. I was kind of
27
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.640
bleary eyed and a little bit mind spun, just sitting
28
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:12.400
around exhausted, literally looking yeah, I can't really discuss all
29
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.840
of that just yet. Obviously it's yeah, I'll leave that
30
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.039
one to the side, but it's definitely going to be
31
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.280
very interesting, and I'm just going to have to weave
32
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.719
everything else that I have to do for other clients
33
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.000
in between it. But I feel like it's going to
34
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.159
be he asked. The attorney made a comment about how
35
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.520
this was going to be my retirement case. Well, how good?
36
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:37.719
My thought was, how good are you going to pay
37
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:44.479
me to do it? I don't see retirement in my future,
38
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:51.120
at least not my near future. So we were back
39
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.719
last week talking about what happened or how I entered
40
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.520
the case, some of the things that I've experienced, the
41
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.919
things that really throw up some red flags that make
42
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.000
you wonder what the heck is going on? Right? I mean,
43
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.120
I'm being told no, don't look at it, yes, look
44
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.639
at it. No, I'm not right I'm in over my head,
45
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.000
like I was so confused in the beginning of working
46
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.840
with Dennis Kaufman on this stuff. I know that we
47
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.960
left off at the January two thousand and nine, which
48
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.439
is when I was contacted by Dennis. We talked about
49
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.639
him being in the hospital, me needing handwriting, so I
50
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.319
reached out to my mentor, who then provided me with well,
51
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.560
I think it was. I don't know. If I was
52
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.080
going to ask for a sample of handwriting, I'd want
53
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.159
it to be something I thought was more natural, But
54
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.639
instead what I got was the Malvin Belly letter, which
55
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.159
not only was it the most highly disguised handwriting of
56
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.479
all the zodiac letters, but it was also manipulated before
57
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.719
being put up on Tom Voyd's site. I don't know
58
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.680
at what point it was manipulated. Dennis believed the images
59
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.039
all looked a little bit different back in two thousand
60
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.599
and one. I did a deep dive trying to find
61
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.319
anybody that I could that had stored or saved or
62
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.120
researched these particular communications. So of course I also have
63
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.000
different versions of them as we go through. Makes me
64
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:18.040
wonder how much manipulation has actually occurred to these letters.
65
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.199
But some of the people that we dealt with throughout
66
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.000
the case was like Deborah Perez. We talked about her.
67
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.839
Now one year she's claiming to be the love child
68
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.800
of JFK and Marilyn Monroe, and then the following year
69
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.639
she is supposedly the daughter of the Zodiac Killer. These
70
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.920
are the type of people. Good morning, lindsay, hello, welcome
71
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.439
to the show. Are all missed? Pretty face? We're doing good?
72
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:53.399
Can't explain busy, tired, all of the things. So yeah,
73
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.720
Deborah Perez was a huge joke on the system, but
74
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.519
San Francisco pet paid attention to her, a a disbard
75
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:06.040
all the media, disbarred partner of the Melvin Belli group,
76
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.240
and E Fly Bailey was there representing her as her
77
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.319
pr person. Of course, my mentor, Bart Baggett, was the
78
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.439
one that was going to be writing a book and
79
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.720
doing a documentary on her. Now, of course all we
80
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.160
have is hearsay on that, because he told me that
81
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.120
specifically over the phone. But those things never occurred, and
82
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.199
likely because I had come out with my opinion. Now
83
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.120
you have to understand when I sent my work to Bart,
84
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.199
because I wasn an apprenticed at that time. It didn't
85
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.800
require his opinion, but I didn't know that. I just
86
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.639
wanted I wanted him to see what I saw and
87
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.360
give me either good instruction or tell me what to do.
88
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.199
And literally he did not at first want me to
89
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.240
release my opinion that there were some rents made. He
90
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.120
then came back and stated that Dennis didn't fit the
91
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.639
criteria of the contract that I had with Bart Baggett
92
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.879
because he did not pay me, so I was not
93
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.519
obligated to render Bart's opinion. But Bart came back and
94
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.040
told me without even looking at my work, so I
95
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.879
didn't even get an opportunity to discuss as So when
96
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.040
we're given cases as apprentice, we get a chance to
97
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.040
discuss our findings with our mentor and to determine whether
98
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.240
or not we found everything we should have found, if
99
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.160
we missed anything, if we were wrong about something, if
100
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.240
we were looking at something the wrong way, like you
101
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.560
have these discussions over it, and that happens with every
102
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.399
case that they provide you in training and every case
103
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.160
that you take as an apprentice. Because you're basically financially
104
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.600
obligated to the school, you're paying anywhere from fifty percent.
105
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.040
I want to say it was even as high as
106
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.519
seventy five percent at one point in time of your
107
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.839
fees to your mentor, because they're ultimately the ones that
108
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.240
are supposed to go over your work and then let
109
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.680
you know what opinion you're supposed to deliver, and that
110
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.639
obviously did not happen in this particular case, probably number
111
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.639
one because there was no money in it for him.
112
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.279
But at the same time he had he had other
113
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.839
motives for not looking at my work or discussing it
114
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.160
with me. He just flat out said, no, no, it's
115
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.959
too big of writing. Well, that's one of the alterations
116
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.639
that was done to the letter that he happened to
117
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.199
have sent me. I was in math class in college,
118
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.040
so everybody has to keep in mind I had recently
119
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.079
gone back to college in two thousand and eight for
120
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.839
a legal assisting degree. I figured I was going to
121
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:30.600
become an attorney. Could you see that, Nolan? I know
122
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.920
how to argue, that's for sure, but no, it's not
123
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.480
the area I want to be found your niche? What's
124
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.720
that you found your niche? Yeah? Yeah, I didn't need
125
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.800
to be in contempt every other week and being thrown
126
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.480
in jail because there's just so much nepotism and injustice
127
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:48.920
that occurs in the courtroom.
128
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.600
And when I had a terrible decision come out Monday
129
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.000
from h on Auburn.
130
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:56.639
Terrible.
131
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.759
I'm going to Auburn on the eighteenth. I have court
132
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.639
trial for a case there Auburn.
133
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.160
There's an Auburn in California.
134
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.720
Yeah, it's a county seat in Plaza County.
135
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.199
Yeah, we have Auburn here too.
136
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:19.959
It's a beautiful Yes. I did the I did the walk.
137
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.240
They do a Halloween walk of Auburn to discuss the
138
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.839
people that used there's so much crime.
139
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:29.920
In the case.
140
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.919
Yes, in the history of Auburn. I was like absolutely
141
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.159
blown away. But it makes for a great spooky, haunted walk.
142
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.720
And and you know I'm gonna have to look into that. Yeah,
143
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.519
you have got I didn't even know California. Wow. Oh
144
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.240
they played they played it out so like they literally
145
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.840
they'll walk you to the old fire station and they
146
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.600
had the whole story about the madam who had a
147
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.799
brothel and she gave the money to the fire department
148
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.440
to build their building. And but you know she's dressed
149
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.759
she's dressed in ghost attire basically because she's now dead, right,
150
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:09.039
but telling her story of being a citizen of Auburn
151
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.080
back in those days. It was super cool. I thoroughly
152
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.320
enjoyed it. So they played the entire thing out and
153
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.360
acted the entire thing out at several different locations, and
154
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.639
you just walk from one to the next and you
155
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:24.600
got your little show. It was absolutely phenomenon. Anyways, Hi, digress,
156
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.399
we're back to what we were talking about here. So, yes,
157
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.600
I was in school re educating. Actually, you know, I
158
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.840
kept getting hit in court with this you need a
159
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.600
bachelor's degree, even though I'm coming up against people with
160
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:42.559
bachelor's degrees in art or in a foreign language or
161
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.039
whatever it hits. It was ridiculous and had nothing to
162
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.679
do with the field. So I was literally just wanted
163
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.279
them to stop talking about not having a bachelor's degree,
164
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.799
even though as of today, I still don't have one.
165
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.919
I have two AA degrees, which is basically the same
166
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.159
amount of schooling as a BA. Some judges have looked
167
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.720
at it that way, and you're not really required to
168
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.200
have any type of degrees as an expert as long
169
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.360
as you're an expert in the field that you're in.
170
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.080
So I'm in my math class and I get a
171
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.600
call from another mentor from the school, Bob Byer. He
172
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.600
is calling me because he says that I needed a
173
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.480
second opinion on the zodiac stuff. I didn't ask for
174
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.799
a second opinion. I didn't send anything to him. I'm
175
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.480
now confused because I didn't ask you, Bob Byer, to
176
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.320
peer review my work. We spent about fifteen twenty minutes
177
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.360
on the phone where he just kept trying to convince
178
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.200
me that I was wrong, that I didn't know what
179
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.159
I was talking about, or Jack wasn't the one, and
180
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.600
that Bart was right, and that I needed to basically
181
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.840
walk away from this case, which I thought was that's
182
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:52.200
a deep dive, right, I mean, you're instigating somebody, yeah,
183
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:57.720
to facilitate whatever your agenda is. And so into the
184
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:01.000
conversation I find out he didn't even open my work either.
185
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.559
He said he couldn't do yeah, And because I just
186
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.799
kept drilling him, I wasn't letting it go. I'm like,
187
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.320
did you look at the characteristics? I mean, I clearly
188
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.840
mapped it all out. And then I finally got him
189
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.480
to admit that he couldn't He for whatever reason, couldn't
190
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.440
open the seat the DVD that the work was on.
191
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.120
I don't think he ever had it. I don't think
192
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.039
Bart ever sent it to him. I think he was
193
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:29.639
just exactly because Bart told him.
194
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.159
That's mean.
195
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.399
Yeah, well, that's what I'm trying to stay here. Like
196
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.639
people don't seem to understand when Bart tells me, I'm
197
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.399
in over my head. What I don't understand is that
198
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.519
there's some type of conspiracy going on with almost everybody
199
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.279
who's involved with these cases. So I end up telling
200
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.519
Bob Buyer off. And I don't think I ever really
201
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.639
spoke to him again or requested anything from that man
202
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.000
ever again, because how dare you call me and tell
203
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.080
me I'm wrong when you haven't even looked at the work.
204
00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.759
That's not what a mentor does. A mentor goes over
205
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:01.919
that work with you. And now twice I've had two
206
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.480
mentors from the same school who have totally sloughed it
207
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.000
off and never looked at the work. And I found
208
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:12.519
out at a much later date after the administrator. Administrator
209
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.919
of the school was involved with Bart for many years
210
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.600
and then they broke up, and they broke up after
211
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.200
he and her moved here to California. I think to
212
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.840
do this documentary in this this book deal with Debora
213
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.720
Perez but they ended up breaking up, and I ended
214
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.879
up housing her mother at one point because she was
215
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.879
traveling from somewhere a way up north to LA to
216
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.559
help her daughter move, and she stopped in and rested
217
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.559
at my house for a bit before she traveled on
218
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.799
back down. And during that interaction with the administrator, she
219
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:45.840
had indicated to me that Bart never opened up my
220
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.799
work either, So I was the first I knew he hadn't, right.
221
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.840
I mean, my gut told me, you're not looking at
222
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.879
what I'm showing you. But I got my confirmation that
223
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.240
he hadn't actually opened up my work. So we then
224
00:12:59.279 --> 00:12:59.559
went on.
225
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.720
So they're going out of the way to try and
226
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.960
stifle you. Well.
227
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:10.679
I received threats, I received alter letters. I received two
228
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.639
bad opinions from two mentors. I mean, yeah, I'd say
229
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.759
that's pretty pretty sufficient to claim that there's something going
230
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.320
on here. And the only thing I know is is
231
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.440
that Bart is wrapped up with this hollyweird stuff, you know,
232
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.720
So this leads me right back to where we've been
233
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:33.840
looking this entire time, I feel like. So then we
234
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.200
went to the FBI, So of course Dennis wanted me
235
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.960
to give the opinion to Chris Hopkins and Ken Hitmeyer.
236
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.720
We did. I did spend about two and a half
237
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.080
three hours giving this presentation. But when I first walked in,
238
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.120
Chris Hopkins really just wanted a file folder from me
239
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.159
and us to go away, even though he seemed to
240
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.879
be extremely cordial and very personable with Dennis. I explained
241
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.240
to him that I brought a laptop. It's on my laptop.
242
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.159
I have to walk you through it. You're not going
243
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.279
to know what I mean or what I'm saying based
