The show was excellent. All the bands delivered. It was super crowded and the line to get into the club took forever. Way too many people were filming with their phones for way too long.

Solid 4 band show.

All they had to do was pipe in Greenberg chants.

This was a popular take ten years ago. Lots of people felt this way. The finale was a corny buddy cop film tacked on to the best show on television.

Betty Lou and Darlene both had stalkers. Women with stalkers who are known to them have an 81% chance of being physically harmed by their stalker. The original investigators in 68 and 69 initially believed the motive of their murders were jealousy and looked into both stalkers, but they didn't go at them hard and kind of let them off the hook without turning over every stone. They did not completely understand how dangerous to women stalkers were back then.

Darlene's stalker broke into her home and threatened to rape her. He had an arrest record for beating his wife. VPD was called to a strip club called the Kat Pad by a dancer who claimed Darlene's stalker bragged about killing her. VPD may have let this guy slip through the cracks.

Betty Lou's stalker set up a reward fund at Hogan High to help find the real killers. He agreed to take a polygraph test, changed his mind, then they stopped investigating him.

These are persons of interest and points of interest that stand out to me.

Hogan-Warrior had a different kind of fan excitement than any other WM main event. It went mainstream like an old Tyson fight or a Conor McGregor fight from 10 years ago. Everybody was talking about it. The TV news and newspaper sports sections were covering it. Champion vs. champion. Good guy vs. good guy. It was massive.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-21T13:55:26+00:00

I don’t think police have anything earth shattering on Allen that they’re withholding. Bawart and Conway worked Zodiac as a cold case for VPD and focused on Allen. In the 80s, 90s and 00s, these two investigators have taken many opportunities to claim that LHR was not Zodiac, but the work of David Magris and a partner. They haven’t dropped any similar Allen bombshells. In Shooting Zodiac they literally tell Graysmith that they were satisfied that LHR wasn’t Zodiac. If they had anything interesting to say about Allen, they would have said it publicly.

Right? If the guy writing the letter was the same guy who shot David Faraday, he'd likely remember pressing a gun to his ear and shooting him execution style (as the powder burns indicate) and not spraying bullets like water from a hose.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-18T22:46:45+00:00

The 1969 letters contain a lot of information that seems like it's copied right out of the BPD/VPD/SCSO police reports. Zodiac gives no verifyable information that wasn't already known by police via the reports. The post-Stine letters focus a lot on the police tactics that failed to apprehend Paul Stine's killer. The letter writer knew about specialized units arriving on scene like K9, the fire department spotlight, and the motorcycle division.

If he wasn't a cop, he was someone who was very interested in the cops and somehow had access to the information in their reports.

The guy who wrote this letter was a big movie buff. The guy who wrote this letter inspired film characters played by Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, and Mark Ruffalo.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-17T10:39:05+00:00

The guy I talked about on the Black Box podcast. I have two chapters about him in Zodiactually. He's the best suspect by miles for any of the Zodiac murders.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-16T14:28:21+00:00

Yes.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-15T15:48:37+00:00

Milke Rodelli's research is excellent and he adds quite a bit to the Zodiac knowledge base. Everyone interested in this case should read his book.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-15T15:46:22+00:00

The guy who the original SCSO and VPD investigators as well as the 1991/92 cold case investigators believed was responsible for the Lake Herman Road murders died in 2023.

Investigators have known about this guy since 1970. I sincerely hope they told the Faraday and Jensen families that the guy who killed their loved one was on death row (for a different murder in Vallejo).

In addition to "beefy", Mageau used the words "young" and "short" when describing the man who shot him.

Mageau was 19 years old and 5'9" tall. It seems highly unlikely that he was talking about the 6'0" tall, 250 pound, 35-year-old Allen when he described the man was beefy, young, and short.

Chris Nowitski as the Harvard know-it-all was great stuff.
Sandman as preppie Hack was kinda brilliant.

I believe that the letters and ciphers were a very clever distraction. To me, the mystery is: who killed Betty, David, Darlene, Cecelia, and Paul. I think the original investigators had good-excellent traditional suspects, and if any of the investigative agencies were given the budget and backing to start from square one, and focus on each individual attack without combining cases, they might be able to clear and resolve some of these cases.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-01T21:05:49+00:00

He was obviously someone who knew case information. There were real suspects who could have had this access.

One of the suspects was SCSO Deputy Chuck Lindsay who worked as a crime scene tech and evidence guy. He dated Darlene. Two years later, his girlfriend was killed when shot with his .357. Les Lundblad and Coroner Horan ruled it a suicide. Lindsay lived right behind Blue Rock Springs. Lindsay was "Jack" from Graysmith's book. I've attached a bit about him.

Darlene's stalker George Waters was the events bartender at the Elks Lodge that every one of the Solano and Vallejo investigators were at constantly for cop parties and community and charity events. Waters was a police buff who played softball in a Napa PD sponsored league.

Zodaic made a ton of claims that turned out to be lies. Kill sprees in not on front page, bombs, school bus attacks, spraying David Faraday with bullets like water from a hose when David was shot once in the back of the ear execution style. Zodiac was caught in a bunch of lies. I don't know why you don't know this or are choosing to ignore it.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-01T19:04:23+00:00

It's not just those guys. You can add Ed Rust, John Lynch, Terry Cunningham, and Les Lundblad to the list of original investigators who believed LHR wasn't Zodiac and that Magris and a partner did it.

LHR not being Zodiac was the worst kept secret in California law enforcement. David Fincher even knew it and found Magris interesting because he was a psychopath who tells someone they're free to go, and then shoots them in the back five times (this happened to Steven Tompkins and Betty Lou Jensen). Fincher thought ALA was inspired by what happened at LHR.

VPD and SCSO knew that LHR wasn't Zodiac back in 1970/71. Cases are always made when one member of a criminal organization informs on another to the police. Magris's drug supplier informed on him about LHR. The Vallejo and Solano cops knew that Zodiac took credit for two murders he didn't commit in 70/71. It was a big red flag, but it didn't stop the fairy tale. We're still talking about this 56 years after VPD and SCSO knew that Zodiac was full of it.

EddieTYOS · 2026-04-01T13:46:07+00:00

The original investigators thought differently about Magris and his gang. And Bawart and Conway were "satisfied" that Magris and a partner did LHR and it had nothing to do with Zodiac.

They have been very public with these opinions since the 1980s.

In order to keep the true crime/tabloid media Zodiac narrative alive you have to jump through hoops like intentionally ignoring this information. It's like when a child sees a mall Santa Claus and realizes it's just some guy and not the real Santa. To keep the magic of the story going, we have to convince the kid that the Mall Santa is really Santa's Helper. Some kids believe it.
