Several retired law enforcement officers -and a few still behind the badge– are on the trail of the Zodiac Killer. The Zodiac Killer committed several homicides in California during the 1960s and 1970s. The Zodiac sent ciphers and taunting letters to the police and area newspapers. He often signed his letters with a circle and cross symbol. He enjoyed causing pain and suffering in his victims. He has never been identified.
Our friend, Deb Silva, is a diligent researcher of Sonoma County, California cold cases. Some of the bountiful information she has gathered can be found at the website she runs with H. James Nelson, SantaRosaHitchhikerMurders.com. Silva has assembled a detailed and accurate presentation of the victims and the circumstances regarding their horrible deaths. It is her hope that someday answers will be found and these case will solved.
I watched Aphrodite Jones’ True Crime on Investigation Discovery tonight. The episode was about the Zodiac Killer, a crime I have studied for quite some time now. Jones’ guests on the show were Dennis Kaufman and Nanette Barto, who claim that the Zodiac was Jack Tarrance –Kaufman’s stepfather. I think Ms. Jones coverage of the case was compelling. I think the Zodiac case deserves some serious attention and I believe that is the same goal Jones had in mind with this episode. Aphrodite Jones is good at what she does and, while I do not agree with her on many topics, I believe she is truly sincere. The episode is very well produced. It is very convincing –Aphrodite does her job well. However, I have some serious problems with the theory embraced on this episode.
The host of Investigation Discovery’s New show “True Crime” is journalist and author Aphrodite Jones. Jones is author of the controversial bestseller “Michael Jackson Conspiracy.” Two of Jones’ books were made into Lifetime TV movies, and her account of Brandon Teena, “All She Wanted,” was the inspiration for the critically acclaimed feature film “Boys Don’t Cry.”
