We will return to the original evidence collected and presented by Dennis Kaufman, friends, and family. A chilling tale that has been copied by many false accusers. Netflix just dropped a new docuseries still naming Arthur Leigh Allen as the Zodiac which is a huge injustice to the victims and families. ALA was cleared on all forensic accounts 30 years ago. Shame on you Netflix…

7
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:21.120
Riders on the storm, uh, riders on the storm, into

8
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:30.519
this auster board into this world withdrawn like a dog

9
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.359
without a bone.

10
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:39.280
And hack her out alone. Riders on the storm. There's

11
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:45.120
a killer on the road. His brain is Squaremen like

12
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:55.640
a toe. He galody day, let your children play.

13
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.319
If you kill this man a ride, I will die.

14
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:18.159
Killer on the road.

15
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.680
The two victims were parted out of the car and

16
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.080
shot out of the car.

17
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.719
Around San Francisco. The name Zodiac Evoake's darkness scary and

18
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.800
the murders are real. Four decades have done nothing to

19
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.599
lessen the brutality of his crimes. Five point blank executions

20
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.199
by bullet and blade.

21
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.439
There were multiple victims the multiple areas.

22
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:00.800
For two years.

23
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.280
The Zodiac killed police, and I'm convinced that it was

24
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.199
the killer of a San Francisco camp driver who set

25
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.479
in a swatch of bloody cloth with a letter to

26
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.840
the San Francisco Chronicle taunted police.

27
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.719
In a string of letters to local newspapers.

28
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.240
The Zodiac would write letters to the editor, bragging and

29
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.120
his exploits.

30
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.639
Dear editor, this is the Zodiac.

31
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.159
Then disappeared. Ex Identity has become the holy grail for

32
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.360
a dedicated band of amateur sluice. Over the years, thousands

33
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.000
have taken up the hunt. We went hunting with a

34
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:39.479
few of them. Hello, none more memorable than Dennis Kaufman.

35
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.759
For him, unmasking the Zodiac is not a profession but

36
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:44.680
an obsession.

37
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.639
I realized that a lot of people come forward and

38
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.400
claim to know who the Zodiac is, and that makes

39
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.400
it very difficult for me, because the bottom line is,

40
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:51.879
I really do know who the Zodiac is.

41
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.520
Seventy one to nineteen seventy four, Dennis Kaufman spent eight

42
00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:00.879
years building a circumstantial case against his stepfather. He claims

43
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.639
even accounts for the Zodiac's disappearance.

44
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.840
Because we moved to Minnesota and then the Texas and

45
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.319
then back here. It started a month later.

46
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.240
DNA tests are being done on letters and envelopes sent

47
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.360
from Jack Tarrans.

48
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.520
They're not telling me everything, Eater. All as I know

49
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.680
is that they want more items, So that's what we're doing.

50
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.839
The FBI not closing the books on attempts to identify

51
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.800
the Zodiac, the serial killer from the nineteen sixties.

52
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.240
Tonight claims there's a new connection between the FBI suspect

53
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.480
and the Zodiac. Chris Pickle is live in the CBS

54
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:30.920
thirteen US with the new developments.

55
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.160
You've been following this one closely, Yes, I have, and

56
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.160
a local document examiner now says she has been able

57
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.759
to link the two and that is all there in

58
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.120
black and white. I told him it was purely an

59
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.560
entertainment value, that I would even take a look at it,

60
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.160
a case she wasn't interested in, and you turned intriguing.

61
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.680
Forensic document examiner Nanette barto let a pile of handwriting

62
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.319
samples sit on her desk for two months. Once she

63
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.600
started going through them, instead of discounting a connection, she

64
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.360
reached a conclusion she never expected.

65
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.360
My opinion, Jack is indeed the author of the Zodiac letters.

66
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:12.199
Jack Zodiac, a name that terrorized northern California for almost

67
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.759
a decade. He would murder and then write to bear

68
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.519
Ariia newspapers taking credit for his crimes. There have been

69
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.920
many people of the years that have came forward claiming

70
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.600
to know the identity of the Zodiac Killer. It seems

71
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.839
to be an obsession for people all over the world,

72
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.600
and it only seems to grow with time. His reign

73
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.759
of terror began in nineteen sixty six, and after nineteen

74
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.839
seventy four, Zodiac vanished just as mysteriously as he appeared.

75
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.759
My name is Dennis Kaufman joined me in my journey

76
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:45.680
for the truth.

77
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.759
My name is Stephen Deverst. I'm an associate professor at Northern

78
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.560
Arizona University. After investigating Dennis Kaufman, his evidence and his

79
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.759
case for his stepfather being the Zodiac Killer, at this

80
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.600
point point, I am completely convinced that Jack Terrence was

81
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.199
in fact the Zodiac Killer, and probably a whole lot more.

82
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.879
Just over a year after Mom's death, in June of

83
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.959
two thousand, I was in Olympia, Washington visiting my sister.

84
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.839
While I was there, a show came on television called

85
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.839
Case Reopened by Lawrence Block. It was a documentary about

86
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.000
the Zodiac Killer, who had eluded police for over thirty years.

87
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.240
As I was watching the show, the hair on my

88
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.160
arms stood up. It's like every question I ever had

89
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.519
was answered. At that point I knew exactly who they

90
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:41.399
were talking about. Here is a photo of Jack in

91
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.360
nineteen sixty seven, and this composite of the Zodiac was

92
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:49.800
done in nineteen sixty nine. The photo of Jack was

93
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.160
taken in nineteen seventy three. The Sonoma composite was done

94
00:06:53.160 --> 00:07:01.000
in nineteen seventy five. Noticed the lazy left eye.

95
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:06.240
In July of nineteen sixty nine, Zodiac's communications to the

96
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.680
local barrier newspapers began. One went to the San Francisco Chronicle,

97
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.680
another went to the San Francisco Examiner, and the third

98
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.040
letter went to the Vallejo Times Herald.

99
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.079
I took words from the Zodiac letters that he mailed

100
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.319
to police, and I also took words from the letters

101
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:25.680
that Jack sent me over the years.

102
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.000
The top row of words.

103
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.959
Is Zodiac's writing, and the road just beneath it is

104
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:55.399
Jack's writing. You can see the similarities. The only difference

105
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:56.800
I noticed in the writing.

106
00:07:58.839 --> 00:07:59.920
Was the letter A.

107
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.439
If you look at the word page, you can see

108
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:18.519
that the a's are different. Jack sometimes forgets and writes

109
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.920
the letter A like he did on the Zodiac letters,

110
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.319
the word act, and then we have the word age.

111
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.399
Both of those a's are written like they are on

112
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.480
the Zodiac letters. Then you have the word dad, which

113
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:38.240
is Jack's normal style of his a. Zodiac's writing, we

114
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.600
find the odds splitting of words. This is a letter

115
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.679
that Zodiac sent to the San Francisco Chronicle in January

116
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.960
of nineteen seventy four. If you look at the word

117
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.360
comedy on the second line, you see the com then

118
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.000
it's split in half and the idy continues.

119
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.720
In the third line. There's plenty of room for that

120
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.000
word to be written there. In Jack's writing we find

121
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:02.960
this same odd splitting of words. The word automatically is

122
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.200
cut off and the l y continues on the next line.

123
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.279
Once again, there's plenty of room for that word to

124
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:15.320
be written there. Another odd characteristic about Zodiac's writing is

125
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:23.279
the odd spacing in his words. We find the same

126
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.440
odd characteristics in Jack's writing, the odd spacing in his

127
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:33.399
words in subordination, argumentive disregards, et cetera.

128
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.799
After studying both authors, both Zodiac Letters and Jack's writing,

129
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.080
you've come to the conclusion that Jack is the author

130
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.120
of the Zodiac Letters. Correct, absolutely, Yeah, how and you

131
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.960
are completely confident in your decision in.

132
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:54.000
That absolutely With fifty five matching identifying traits, I believe

133
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.879
that's more traits than I would find in any one

134
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.399
individual examination that I've ever completed.

135
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.360
It is very compelling to indicate that that.

136
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.360
Many matches would ensure an author match between the Zodiac

137
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.039
Letters and the writings of Jack Terrence.

138
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.000
I remember the first time that I met Jack. I

139
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.600
walked in the living room and he had his arm

140
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.720
around my mother, and I walked over to him. I said,

141
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.559
get your arm off of my mother. Well, he looked

142
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:25.360
at me, and he says, we need to have a talk.

143
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.000
So he took me in to bedroom and he gave

144
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.120
me a whooping and he said, listen. He says, I

145
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.679
don't want to be here any more than you want

146
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.720
me here, but I have no choice. Well.

147
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:36.799
I never knew what he meant.

148
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:44.960
By that until now. This is Jack's hypnosis symbol. In

149
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:45.799
his own writing.

150
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.159
Zodiac uses the same symbol.

151
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:56.960
On March nineteenth, nineteen seventy one, Zodiac mailed this card

152
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.080
to the San Francisco Chronicle. It was mailed from Playlington, California.

153
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.720
The card is a rendition of an area in Lake Tahoe.

154
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:12.039
This is where we were living at the time. Jack

155
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.600
had a court date in San Jose, California, the very

156
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.399
same day that this postcard was mailed. He would have

157
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.120
had to go right through Pleasington on his way to

158
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.679
court that day. We were living in Southlake Tahoe. He

159
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.840
would have took Highway fifty down through Sacramento, then on

160
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.960
the six eighty south right through Pleasington. This is where

161
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:34.799
the letter was mailed that day, and this is where

162
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:35.559
his court date.

163
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:36.039
Was in San Jose.

164
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:43.840
On March seventeenth, nineteen seventy four, Jack was arrested for poaching.

165
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:51.639
On July the eighth, nineteen seventy four, Zodiac mailed this

166
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:57.519
letter from San Rafael, California. Just two days after this

167
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.559
letter was mailed on July tenth. In nineteen seventy four,

168
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:04.480
Jack was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail

169
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.200
for his poaching incident. This is the first time that

170
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.759
Jack had done an e jail time. Zodiac was never

171
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.960
heard from again.

172
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.879
Kay, Is it capable of.

173
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.240
Doing something like murder?

174
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:19.720
Yes?

175
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:27.480
Oh, based on what I remember growing up.

176
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.159
He has told enough stories that makes me think that

177
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.440
he has him a murder.

178
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.639
Hearing what I've heard, going out and committed cold blood

179
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.159
and murders hard for me to believe. Is it possible?

180
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:44.120
Yeah?

181
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:44.600
Probably?

182
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.039
And all I remember is him pulling out of pocket

183
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:47.960
knife and needsed tob.

184
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:49.799
Somebody, and I just remember horrified because I had no

185
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:50.879
MoMA wants to see that.

186
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.440
Now, what kind of statement is that?

187
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.799
That was after he told me that him and him

188
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.159
and Denny had killed that man in that cabin. So

189
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.399
this was this is a story he told me him

190
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.360
and Denny had done together together in northern California, had

191
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:06.919
burned a man alive in the cabin.

192
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.639
People come up to me and say, Dennis, why don't

193
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:15.960
you move on with your life and get away from

194
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.039
the zodiac case. Well, the answer to that is simple.

195
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:29.320
Dug in love, Thans, deserts me.

196
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:32.519
Thas Din.

197
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.720
And up.

198
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.600
Looking again.

199
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.320
You can hear the pond.

200
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:10.799
Lock before the storm like you can heal a lion

201
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:16.679
when he stocks his phrase. He's moving like a shadow,

202
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:23.120
creeping the body like a siren's ball. He's gonna have

203
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:28.919
its way.

204
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.519
The bad a lot.

205
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:34.639
But get your bride, don't make a stand. Just got

206
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:41.600
outside and you don't have life takes, don't try away,

207
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.279
you'll lose your steaks.

208
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.120
Bringbout this sadly.

209
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:46.159
She's a nature.

210
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:52.600
It's a nateral release.

211
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:04.559
You will hear a footstep coming up on you, moping

212
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:10.399
like a snake. And he's a complete control. This killer

213
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.519
knows his business. He is a threat of tall.

214
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.120
You want.

215
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.600
It's only talking, you know, it's only call.

216
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:22.879
What will you say?

217
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:24.120
What will you do?

218
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:33.919
Your wildness? Thy mask, My true girl is not man.

219
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.720
You can't say, no way to change. You won't the lake.

220
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.960
This gy will have his face. He's a nature of

221
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:47.759
the pace. He's a nature of the pass.

222
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.279
Most of the items I found in Jack storge shed

223
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.559
when I searched it in two thousand and one were

224
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:22.440
found in this green metal box. In December of nineteen

225
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.759
sixty eight, a white Chevy and Paula was seen leaving

226
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.120
the crime scene at the Lake Herman murders Well. During

227
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:34.120
that time, Jack owned a white Chevy and Paula. In

228
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.840
September of nineteen sixty nine, Zodiac attacked a young couple

229
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.120
on the shores of Lake Berriessa. Witnesses reported seeing an

230
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.279
ice blue two door Chevy and Paula that day Here's

231
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.600
a photo of Jack in nineteen seventy one standing in

232
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.080
front of his ice blue two door Chevy and Paula.

233
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:57.720
This is Jack's hypnosis symbol. In his own writing, Zodiac

234
00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.279
uses the same symbol.

235
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:10.920
Doctor Zodiac not audinatic criminal.

236
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.599
He is man of great ego with disease.

237
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.720
Known to science as pseudo logia FANTASTICA.

238
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:24.400
Criminal egotist find pleasure in laughing at police. Jack was

239
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.279
stationed at Treasure Island during the time this movie was

240
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:33.559
playing there. In September of nineteen sixty nine, Zodiac attacked

241
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.240
a couple on the shores of Lake Barriessa. At the

242
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.559
crime scene, he left behind shoe impressions. Police were able

243
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.880
to determine that they came from a rare military shoe

244
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.640
called a wingwalker. They were designed for walking on the

245
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.279
wings of airplanes. Jack would have had access to these

246
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.200
military shoes when he was a technical supply sergeant for

247
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.440
the United States Air Force. On June third, two thousand

248
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.559
and three, I was at myself on the store and

249
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.279
Jack was there too, and he found one of my

250
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.319
guns that I had hidden her back. Well, I saw

251
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.079
him with a gun, so I grabbed my pistol from

252
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.119
underneath the counter, and luckily my little brother was in

253
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.079
between us, because one of us probably would have shot

254
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.000
each other. Well, just after this incident, a customer walked

255
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.720
in named Tracy. She had been in my store prior

256
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.519
to that, and I knew she was married to a sheriff.

257
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.240
And she walked in my store and she could tell

258
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:28.559
something was wrong, and I was trying to play it off,

259
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.440
so you know, it wasn't obvious that something had just happened.

260
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.920
And about that time, Jack came from the back and

261
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.200
handed me something like a pencil. I don't remember what

262
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.640
it was, but he handed me something and Tracy was

263
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.559
like in shock like and she said, who is that man?

264
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.319
I said, Tracy, you really want to know? And she said, yes,

265
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:51.960
I do, so I told her and she left and

266
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.960
there was three second went of sheriffs at my store

267
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.039
within twenty minutes that she had sent down there, and

268
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:05.000
they interviewed Jack. This is her story.

269
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.359
Display I noticed there was a man standing at the

270
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.720
door that the back door, and he was just staring

271
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:14.759
at me, and I looked up and I said, Hi,

272
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.319
how are you?

273
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.880
And he just looked at me. He had no expression

274
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:18.960
on his face whatsoever.

275
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:24.359
It was very eerie, to say the least. So Dennis

276
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:28.240
was saying, Tracy, could you please go get Ralph.

277
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.640
Ralph is your expert.

278
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.400
Fiance, he's a deputy sheriff. And I said, yes, I will,

279
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.480
but what's going on here? And it was very weird.

280
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.119
It was it was very scary, and I went to

281
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.000
the parking lot. I got in my car and I

282
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.759
called a news channel. I can't remember if it was

283
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.880
thirteen three or ten, but it is on file. Yes,

284
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.799
and I are you close to a sheriff's station?

285
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.880
I said, well, yeah.

286
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:54.720
I drove to the service center.

287
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.359
I walked in and the lieutenant was in there, and

288
00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.920
I asked him, please go to the back with me.

289
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:02.079
They all met me and followed me to the back.

290
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.000
They knew me as with Ralph and everything exactly.

291
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.079
And they sat down with me, and I was.

292
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.880
Petrified they knew and I told him the story.

293
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.799
They got on their.

294
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:16.000
Phones and they were, you know, questioning me about this

295
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:17.960
and that they were one of them or Brick was

296
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.319
upset and saying, you know, this isn't cool, you know,

297
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:22.960
to that effect that if this guy is making this up,

298
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.960
this is not okay to tell the public that this

299
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.279
person is the Zodiac Killer and make you this upset,

300
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.279
of course, And I remember telling him, you know what,

301
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:35.680
I don't know so much about the Zodiac Killer, but

302
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.319
I can tell you one thing. This man that was

303
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.960
standing there looking at me made my skin crawl. It

304
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:43.319
was unbelievable.

305
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:49.920
In February of nineteen ninety nine, my mother just had

306
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.960
her leg amputated from just below the knee down due

307
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.880
to diabetes. Well after she had her leg amputator, I

308
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.000
noticed a red spot. It looked like it might be

309
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.079
getting infected, so I didn't want to take any chances,

310
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.319
so I talked to her into going to the hospital

311
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.039
and having it checked out. When we arrived at EC

312
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.119
Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, the doctor agreed that she

313
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:13.559
needed to stay for a few days to watch it,

314
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:15.759
make sure there was no infection, make sure the infection

315
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:21.400
went away well while she was in the hospital. She

316
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:25.559
was there for about three days and the doctor said

317
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.400
she's okay to go home. So we said we'd be

318
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.599
there tomorrow the next morning to pick her up to

319
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:35.119
take her home, and the next morning she was found

320
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:39.000
on a floor in a coma. Nobody knows what happened

321
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:43.640
while my mother was on life support. I went to

322
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.599
the hospital to visit her, and to my surprise, I

323
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.960
was wanted for terrorist threats that I did not make.

324
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:52.799
I was barely able to make out of the hospital

325
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.039
without getting caught, so I sent my girlfriend Joy back

326
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.799
down there to see what was going on. Come to

327
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.400
find out, Jack stepdad had called the hospital and said

328
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:05.079
it was me, and he threatened to kill the security guards.

329
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.200
I was wanted for terrorist threads and my mother passed

330
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:10.759
away before I was able to clear that up.

331
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:16.319
Okay, when I was in Washington and we were visiting

332
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:21.640
Charles and Jack called me into his room and and said, Mary,

333
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.400
he says, I want to ask you something, and I

334
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.920
want to annoy if if you really think that I'd

335
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.359
kill Nora. And I said, well, Jack, all you have

336
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:34.279
to do is search your conscience, and if you have

337
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.400
a clear conscience, then you don't have to worry about anything.

338
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.440
The plan for Zodiac's bomb came from the schematic of

339
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:47.119
a UP fifteen teleprinter. These machines are used by Ham

340
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:57.599
radio operators. Jack was a Ham radio operator. The bomb

341
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:01.160
diagram when I left is Zodiac diagram, and the bomb

342
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.400
diagram on the right is one that I found in

343
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.759
jack storage when I searched it in two thousand and

344
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:38.839
one j C.

345
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.240
So that case, we have three different composites from three

346
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.160
different counties. We have the San Francisco composite, it was

347
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.359
done in nineteen sixty nine. Then we have the Sonoma

348
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:04.240
County that was done in nineteen seventy five. Napa County

349
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:04.680
had their.

350
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.240
Own composite and it looked nothing like the others. Who

351
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:15.119
was this mysterious man in this composite? This is Jack's

352
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.599
oldest biological son, Denny. I remember reading the letter that

353
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.519
he had sent his dad from Vietnam. The letter ended

354
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:23.920
with Dad, you would love it over here. It's hunting

355
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:32.240
season all year long. By March of two thousand and one,

356
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:34.680
I was fed up with the answers I was getting

357
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.079
from different law enforcement agencies regarding Jack's involved in the

358
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:43.200
Zodiac case. So I decided I should call him just

359
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.079
to see what he had to say. But before I

360
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.160
called him, I had to find a way to make

361
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:50.519
him feel comfortable about talking to me about his past.

362
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.720
So what I did was I told him I discovered

363
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.440
who he was, and I wanted to write a book,

364
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.480
but it wouldn't be published till he was dead, and uh,

365
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:01.960
he agreed to give him the information.

366
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:05.839
But you know what I mean, but I wouldn't.

367
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:11.920
Want to well, uh, after after he'd written as.

368
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:14.440
Fiction now and after I'm gone.

369
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.160
Uh for some days, I don't think it'll be long.

370
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.480
Some days I feel like it'll be a long.

371
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:29.160
Time lys from now, right, Yeah, yeah, right right, I

372
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:30.960
I I just said, I'm, I'm.

373
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:32.759
I don't want to play anything out there that's gonna

374
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.279
bring your prosecution before you're gone. You know, it's not

375
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:39.079
my intention, you know, Yeah, I just you know, I

376
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:41.880
just picked myself and the answer that'll not you know,

377
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.680
just listen to you closer, because I never lears thought that,

378
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.240
you know, the most of the things I just.

379
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.640
Didn't I and uh, they have.

380
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.440
No proof, right, I could just get that circumstances, Yeah, right.

381
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.960
Right, i'bout you worried about it, and.

382
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.680
The people I know would.

383
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:14.359
Bank right right, I think said, yeah, it was a.

384
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.880
Known fact that it was me.

385
00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:48.440
On March thirteenth, nineteen seventy one, the Zodiac mailed this

386
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:54.079
letter to the Los Angeles Times. It was mailed from Pleasanton, California.

387
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:57.799
It says, this is the Zodiac speaking like I have

388
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:01.000
always said, I am crackproof. If the Blue Minis are

389
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.279
ever going to catch me, they had better get off

390
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.960
their fat asses and do something, because the longer they

391
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:08.880
fiddle and fart around, the more slaves I will collect

392
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.599
for my afterlife. I do have to give them credit

393
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.680
for stumbling across my riverside activity, but they are only

394
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.160
finding the easy ones. There are a hell of a

395
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.880
lot more down there. The reason that I am writing

396
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.680
to the Times is this. They don't put me on

397
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.839
their back pages like they did some of the others.

398
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:48.480
San Francisco, PD zero Zodiac seventeen plus, One month after

399
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.920
the murder of Sherry Joe Bates, her killer sent this

400
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:58.839
confession letter to the Daily Enterprise. The letter begins with

401
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:02.480
she was young, beautiful, but now she is battered and dead.

402
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.599
She is not the first and she will not be

403
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:11.160
the last. The killer claimed that he plunged the knife

404
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:15.160
into her and it broke. Police also described the knife

405
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.599
as being about three and a half inches long by

406
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:21.759
half inch wide with a broken and bent tip. Well,

407
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:23.519
this is a knife that I found in jack storichd

408
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:37.880
when I searched it in two thousand and one, just

409
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.200
six months after the murder of Sharry Joe Bates, her killer,

410
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.680
sent three different letters. One of the letters went to

411
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:47.279
the Riverside Police Department. It said Bates had to die,

412
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:52.200
there will be more. Another letter went to Sherry Joe

413
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.839
Bates' father, Joseph Bates. It said she had to die

414
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:01.640
there will be more also. And the third letter that

415
00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:04.640
was mailed in April of nineteen sixty seven went to

416
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:09.759
the Press Enterprise in Riverside as communications to local Barea

417
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:27.839
newspapers began. Just like in Riverside, he sent three different letters.

418
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:35.359
It seems as though Zodiac is fascinated with time. Zodiac

419
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.359
sent a map of northern California to Bay Area newspapers,

420
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.319
and over Mount Diablo he put his infamous symbol. But

421
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:45.160
if you notice in his symbol, you see a three,

422
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:47.880
six and nine, just as if it was a watch base.

423
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.319
This is the watch that was found at the Sherry

424
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:54.960
Joe Bates crime scene in nineteen sixty six in Riverside, California.

425
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.960
The murder took place at about ten thirty pm, but

426
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.799
this watch was stopped at twelve twenty three. If we

427
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.759
use Mount Diablo as a centerpoint for the clockhands the

428
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.079
murder of Sherry Joe Bates would be at twelve twenty

429
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:15.200
three when I asked Jack specifically if he was a

430
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:19.480
Zodiac Killer, listen to what he had to say.

431
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:25.640
Killer might have to bagine things, say what can that mean?

432
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.960
I remember when we were younger.

433
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:32.599
He would take his campaign and when we got to

434
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.119
our camping spot, he would take his AM radio, his map,

435
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.359
and his compass. What he would do He'd take his

436
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:40.759
AM radio and he'd find an AM station. He'd point

437
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:43.839
the radio in that direction, and wherever the radio cut

438
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:46.079
off at he knew there was a station in that direction.

439
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.160
He would take two stations and do that with and

440
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.920
he would take and draw a line and somehow pinpoint

441
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.799
our location on the map. I never understood why he

442
00:30:54.880 --> 00:31:00.000
did this until now ended one of his letters with ps.

443
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:05.119
The Mount Diablo code concerns radiance and inches along the radiance.

444
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:12.400
This killer was after something completely different. Zodiac also sent

445
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.240
a map of the Bay Area, and over the top

446
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:26.880
of Mount Diablo he put his infamous symbol. Zodiac mentioned

447
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:31.039
the word radiance in his letter, But what exactly is

448
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:35.279
a radian? A radian is an angle of fifty seven

449
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:39.720
point three degrees. But what did this have to do

450
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:47.559
with Zodiac and Mount Diablo. In nineteen eighty a man

451
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:51.359
by the name of Garth Penn made a pretty significant discovery.

452
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.960
Garth Pen connected the murdercite of Paulsteine in San Francisco

453
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.680
to the top of Mount Diablo, to to two known

454
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:04.079
murder sites just outside Valleto, and connected into Mount Diablo.

455
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:06.720
He discovered that it made an angle of fifty seven

456
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:09.039
point three degrees, a perfect radiant.

457
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:09.640
Well.

458
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:13.640
I took Penn's theory and went a step further. I

459
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.160
connected the crime scene at Lake barri Essa to the

460
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:19.400
top of Mount Diablo, and I realized that it made

461
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.400
an odd angle of sixteen point two degrees. I did

462
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.599
not realize the significance he had at this point. I

463
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:33.359
would later discover that six radians plus sixteen point two

464
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:40.039
degrees make a complete circle. Mount Diablo is the center

465
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:45.480
point for longitude and latitude. This year is the top

466
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:53.200
of Mount Diablo centamori for longitude and latitude.

467
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:20.200
Here's a center point.

468
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:23.920
He said, you ways.

469
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:40.480
To be my sister feels not to read something. I

470
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:42.079
just answer.

471
00:33:54.200 --> 00:34:01.000
Something dark and dress boy, call me word blow?

472
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.800
How it s you ways shut.

473
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:21.599
Don'tn't know which where it goes, but if you want

474
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.280
to un the milder.

475
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:28.079
Sail the stone.

476
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:35.679
If you want to walk do as the lower of

477
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:39.960
the shadow. A day verage arived?

478
00:34:43.320 --> 00:35:02.960
Where go and no Jo? I don't know which way?

479
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:13.920
You know? You got a shoe house?

480
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:23.400
Who has jumped the show?

481
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:26.360
Where more on the mountains?

482
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:39.079
Stand on the store more? Well? You shallow it.

483
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:54.159
When we.

484
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:29.760
Probably the most famous of San Francisco homicide cases in

485
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:33.880
terms of unsolved cases, is a Zodiac case. And literally

486
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:39.320
every day we receive some type of notification message in

487
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.679
the mail or a phone call. Now we even get

488
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:47.400
email messages regarding this case. And so it was decided

489
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:50.760
that the case would be reactivated and assigned to an

490
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:55.400
active homicide team. There's a sub set of the population

491
00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:00.719
that is obsessed with the case. To some it's like

492
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:01.320
a religion.

493
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:12.800
Yeah, I appreciate it. After Joy and I went to

494
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:17.239
the FBI and they listened to our story and I

495
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.159
turned Jack in. We both went back to our storage

496
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:23.119
shed and we just kind of it was very sad

497
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:25.880
because at that point I thought I was going to

498
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:30.239
be putting Jack in prison, and my younger brother, Jack

499
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:32.599
was his real dad and he had just lost his mother.

500
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:34.960
Now I's going to be taking his dad away from two.

501
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.320
Then the reality hit of what was really going on.

502
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.119
I think at that point, after about a year of

503
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:46.639
dealing with the Zodiac thing, my girlfriend Joy couldn't take

504
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:49.360
it anymore, so she moved up to Washington State with

505
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:51.599
her aunt and kind of got her own life going.

506
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.079
I stayed behind because I had to work on the case.

507
00:37:55.760 --> 00:38:02.840
I felt obligated. After about six months, I decided I

508
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.519
had had enough of the cases myself as well, and

509
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.280
I went to Washington to pick up Joy to bring

510
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:11.480
her back. Before I could bring her back, I had

511
00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:13.639
to have something to bring her back too, So I

512
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:15.559
talked to my uncle and he was going to help

513
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.280
us start up a new cell phone store and help

514
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.639
us get on our feet again. And he did, and

515
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.800
in February of two thousand and two, we had got

516
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:26.239
our business going, our cell phone store, had our own

517
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:30.800
place for once, and everything was like it was before.

518
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:33.519
I was actually happy again. I had left the Zodiact

519
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.559
thing alone and we were we were making we were

520
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:38.960
making money. Everything was good, but that was about to

521
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:47.360
suddenly change. Our business had been successful our first month.

522
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.840
We were doing really good. We had our own place

523
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.840
and everything was good and out of the blue. Jack

524
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.199
shows up at our front door from Texas, and I

525
00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:59.960
told him, Jack, you can't stay here, and he talked,

526
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.440
we need to letting him stay one night and the

527
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:04.400
following day he was to go to his brother's house.

528
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:06.920
His brother's house, it was just down the road, his brother, Dawn.

529
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.639
And MY biggest mistake was letting him stay that one night.

530
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:15.199
After we all went to bed, we heard banging on

531
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:17.360
the walls and Jack was banging on the walls and

532
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.320
the neighbors were banging back, and we were afraid we

533
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.760
were gonna lose our place that we'd just gotten. So

534
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:25.719
I I couldn't take him where. I called the cops

535
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:28.800
on Jack and told him that I wanted to s

536
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:33.119
man out of my house. Well, the cops took Jack

537
00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:34.920
outside and talked to him. It wasn't but two or

538
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.559
three minutes before he had him convinced that he had dementia.

539
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:40.440
So one of the cops came over to me and says,

540
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:44.199
your dad suffers from dementia, and uh, there's nothing we

541
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.960
can do. We can't remove him from your house. And

542
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:49.760
I said, well, he's not welcome here. Then the police

543
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:52.800
officer proceeded to tell me that not only can we

544
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.079
not move him from your house, if you kick him out,

545
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:58.159
we're gonna charge you with a felony for abandonment of

546
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:04.599
an elderly person. At this point, I had enough. I

547
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:08.840
went up to my room and I grabbed my pistol.

548
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:11.679
I couldn't take any more. He was not going to

549
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:16.239
ruin my life again at this point, and Joy wound

550
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:17.800
up running out of the front door. And that was

551
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:20.639
the last time I seen her. And now I'm stuck

552
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:24.119
living with a man that murdered my mother, and all

553
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:26.639
of a sudden, my life has did a one hundred

554
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:28.360
degree return everything.

555
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.440
Parson Lee Yellen did not donate the biological material that

556
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.079
was recovered from the stamp or the soodiac correspondence that

557
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:38.920
yielded this result.

558
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:43.039
When you write, you rest the heel of your palm,

559
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.800
a very characteristic part of it on the paper. And

560
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.239
people in those days weren't really aware that you could

561
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.920
leave a palm print that it could be identified. They

562
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:58.239
knew about fingerprints, but the public really wasn't that aware

563
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.800
of palm prints. Were able to obtain palm prints from

564
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:04.119
Arthur Lee Allen. It was compared to the one that

565
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:07.639
had been developed earlier and they don't match. That is

566
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:09.599
not Arthur Allen's palm print.

567
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:13.559
I worked with several law enforcement agencies on this case

568
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:20.400
trying to bring Jack Tarns to justice. Had fairly good

569
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.000
cooperation with just about everyone that I worked with, except

570
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:25.679
for the San Francisco Police Department.

571
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:31.159
I have never quite dealt with people like them.

572
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:38.000
But it's not a good thing when you're dealing with

573
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:41.400
a murderer to be more worried about getting the credit

574
00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:41.840
for something.

575
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:45.000
You need to get this man off the streets. That

576
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.360
should be number one priority, not who gets the credit

577
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:47.920
for doing it.

578
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:54.880
The options are this identify or eliminating a suspect as

579
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:58.320
the Zodiac killers, and I at CBS thirteen has uncovered

580
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:00.960
a major roadblock in the instigation.

581
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:03.679
It's a lack of cooperation, not from a person like

582
00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:06.679
you might imagine, but from a police department. Chris Pickel

583
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:08.599
is in the newsroom with these new developments.

584
00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:12.760
Well, the FBI began collecting DNA evidence last year, and

585
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:16.519
now we know why there are no results. The police

586
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:20.360
agency that has most of the original evidence isn't sharing.

587
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:24.760
Does it looked like someone intentionally altered the letters? Absolutely,

588
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:28.320
Dennis claims The changes began to appear after he showed

589
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:32.039
his stepfather's handwriting to the San Francisco Police Department in

590
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:35.519
two thousand and one and posted samples on the Interne

591
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:39.599
has uncovered what has been slowing down the FBI's investigation

592
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:45.039
the San Francisco Police Department. The FBI has been asking

593
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:49.519
since two thousand for nine years to see the department's evidence.

594
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.480
So far, they've been shut out. Come to San Francisco

595
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:57.559
tomorrow and interviewee regarding to Zodiac, Sorry I don't hear it.

596
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:01.119
The San Francisco Police Department denied our multiple phone and

597
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:05.400
email requests for an interview, specifically asking if they will

598
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:09.239
allow the FBI to examine their evidence. And although the

599
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:12.440
department has shown the evidence to reporters in the past,

600
00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:16.320
our request to see what evidence the department still has.

601
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:24.480
We're shot down, you know, the kind.

602
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:26.239
Of annoyed me, you know, as I called them.

603
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:28.960
Initially, our laboratory was committed to.

604
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.920
A thirty day turnaround the right, so we would you know, we.

605
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:35.559
Would have been somewhat further ahead than where we are now.

606
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.880
Absolutely, but you know, everyone and then because of such

607
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:42.599
a high profile meal right, everyone wanted to in the one,

608
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:43.079
you know.

609
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:46.760
I was the one, you know, right, and that was

610
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:47.719
my case, and.

611
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.960
None of them right wrong to say that everybody work

612
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:53.760
together with everybody, you.

613
00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:54.400
Know, that's right.

614
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:59.159
You know you went into this every down then with.

615
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:00.000
The petty cot.

616
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:01.679
I'm sure that the.

617
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:06.360
Real person here right well, wasn't anything that Kelly Keller.

618
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:10.440
Did that identified this guy at the Zonia because you.

619
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:12.719
Had done you a homework and you got it.

620
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:13.679
In here right.

621
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:24.760
This is the property that Jack owned in nineteen seventy four.

622
00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:30.119
My partner Robert Manner, and I decided to revisit this

623
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.559
place and just have a look around and just see

624
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:36.320
if we noticed anything. And when we got there, the

625
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.880
owner was very cooperative. We explained to her what was

626
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:43.360
going on, and at that point we decided to run

627
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:45.800
cadabra dogs across the property to see if they picked

628
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.000
up any scent. In January of two thousand and eight,

629
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:51.920
we ran the cadaver dogs across the property and they

630
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:56.039
did pick up scent. We marked the locations where they

631
00:44:56.039 --> 00:44:58.199
picked up the scent, and a couple of weeks later,

632
00:44:58.239 --> 00:44:59.960
a week came out and we dug in those area

633
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:03.599
is and we found what appeared to be human remains.

634
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:06.559
These human remains have been turned over to the FBI

635
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:14.880
for evaluation. Sometime around nineteen ninety, Jack asked me about

636
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.159
this old piece of equipment that I had. He made

637
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:18.639
the comment to me that if I ever get rid

638
00:45:18.679 --> 00:45:21.280
of it, then he wanted it well. At the time,

639
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:22.360
I didn't give it much thought.

640
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:27.039
Several years later, in two thousand and five, he asked

641
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:29.840
me about the same piece of equipment, and once again

642
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.159
I didn't give it much thought at the time. A

643
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:33.960
few years later, in two thousand and eight, I was

644
00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:37.039
going through my things and I ran across this.

645
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:40.320
Thing that he'd been asking about, this pa head. I

646
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:42.159
was surprised that I still had it, because we'd been

647
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.159
through a couple RECs, and it was just amazing that

648
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:52.039
I had it still. I decided to open it, but

649
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.000
I had no idea what I was about to.

650
00:45:54.920 --> 00:46:30.199
See anything, and.

651
00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:05.599
A town.

652
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:54.360
Nevy in a found.

653
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:28.679
I'm cutting not okay, I didn't know what I'm doing.

654
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:47.039
Many zoo think many vo
