Anyone following the Zodiac killer thing?
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 07:42 PM by Prefer
Very interesting. This guy who was on Yahoo today has about every detail nailed. It has come up because of some recent findings that were reported by a Sacramento news station.

I watched the film last year and read details on this new suspect for the last two hours.

What I find very interesting is the other Zodiac Detectives in the community seemed to pile on to try to discredit him!

Now he has found a possible murder weapon and the hood. You can see them in the video from Sacramento news.

http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/ylocalnews?ch=4226712&cl=9499433&lang=en

I find it all very compelling as a solution tot he age old mystery.

The son who solved it is not extremely sophisticated as a writer, which leads me to believe the details aren't something he has cooked up.

The psychological details, occupational details and skills fit.

Seems like the guy really solved the case.

1. Pretty compelling stuff

The problem is that the police released all that information, so any Zodiac buff knows exactly what the Lake Berryessa hood is supposed to look like. Anyone could work up a replica. He does look like the Stein murder sketch, though.

2. Can't wait to hear what they find out, but this guy has been peddling his story
about his step-father since about 2000. His website's been up for a while, and I'd seen it before years ago, but dismissed it as a crackpot.

Who knows -- maybe the FBI will find some definitive scientific evidence to link this guy Tarrance to the crimes. But it could just end up being another gorilla suit in a cooler.

5. Here is a page
where they attempt to discredit his details one by one.

To me, it seems like a match more than any of the other suspects.
I find the employment details seem to fit. Nuclear tech at GE, then goes off the rails. I don't remember any of the other suspects being highly technical and also unstable.

Regardless of what they say about the writing not matching, it sre looks like it does to me.

But yeah is this hood another bigfoot costume? Why does he have it for the camera and not the FBI have it in posession? Shouldn't there be a victim's DNA on there?

6. THanks
I was actually afraid I might get attacked for posting something interesting that is not to do directly with politics, but then I thought a few people who followed like me will appreciate it anyway.

10. Just about everything relates to politics.
This case certainly affects various governmental functions, the police for one.
