I got a rather large police file. It is 59.1 MB, 437 pages. It is in the form of a PDF.

I am going to specifically ask some people if they can help me by researching certain sections. And I would like to make it available to all who want to see it.

It is the police file on the Robison family murders of 6/25/68 in Michigan. It is of interest to me and some other researchers of the Zodiac case because like the Zodiac at LHR 12/20/68 (and the killer at SB 6/4/63), the shooter used Winchester .22 Super X ammo, fired from a gun six grooves and lands with a right twist, with police reports identifying a (Sears) J.C. Higgins as the weapon most consistent with the rifling pattern on the bullets and the weapon most likely to have been used.

It is also of interest because someone with inside knowledge of the crime scene wrote to the local paper, asking his name to be put in the paper if police wanted more info, and his name was ZODIUS. The words ZODIUS and ZODIAC share the first four letters in common, both derive from the Latin word ZODIACUS and both mean essentially the same thing, a collection of the twelve animals/symbols representing astrological signs. Zodius struck on 6/25/68, six months before Zodiac, and one year before Zodiac announced himself to the world.

Both Zodius and Zodiac used math symbols – Zodius used triangles, Zodiac the unit circle, a circle with a plus sign over it. Both had messages with the letters R,O,E,B,E,R,T in them, and both emphasized the letter sequence EBE.

Like Zodiac, Zodius wrote to a newspaper, giving crime scene knowledge only the killer could know, demanded his cryptic message and name appear in the paper and targeted a male – female couple – Zodiac teens and young adults on dates, Zodius a husband and wife with kids present. Like the killer at possible Zodiac crime of Santa Barbara 6/4/63, Zodius posed his victims by stacking bodies atop one another and exposing the female. Former FBI agent and serial killer profiler John Douglas cites a study which shows less than 1% of all homicides involve posing of bodies.

Like Domingos and Edwards were covered by a blanket, Mrs. Robison was covered by a blanket. Zodiac shot through a window (car), and Zodius shot through a window (house).

Zodius called from San Francisco, and people who heard his voice described it as robotic & monotone, similar to how the voice of Zodiac was described.

There are other similarities, and also differences…

So I would like to somehow post this file so everyone can have access to it.

Can anyone help me do this?

Does it need to be hosted at a website? Does anyone that has a website can post this there? Or is there another way to do it?

That would be great if you can host it at your site.

I have an email for you from 2016 that is a gmail account. If that is still your email I will send it to you now.

OK I hosted it via my Google Drive account:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-plRE … BHIAdpuKiP

That link should open up a PDF reader. Looks like the document is searchable, too, but I found some parts that don’t match search terms, so whatever OCR was done on the original PDF was imperfect.
Let me know if the link doesn’t work.

The link works, and it looks good. Thanks very much.

For those interested in doing research on the file, please post any interesting findings here: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=478&p=73419#p73419 . It is a continuation of the existing thread I started on the Robison family murders and other Midwest family murders. To read the thread from the beginning go here: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=478
