Hi everyone! I’m really excited to be on this forum. For years I’ve had a great interest in famous crimes, esp. those never solved (Black Dahlia, Jack the Ripper, etc etc etc) and of course, Zodiac! I’ve done quite a bit of reading about Zodiac but as you probably know, there is surprisingly little available. (I would gratefully welcome any and all suggestions!) I have vague memories of Zodiac being discussed on the national news, but I was a child at the time and lived on the opposite coast–3000 miles from the action!–so I didn’t really start looking into this case until I became interested in this kind of crime. (Reading about–NOT committing!! :P ) What really baffles me is that Zodiac was never caught. Yes, I know these kinds of killings are very difficult to solve, but still…I don’t think Zodiac was some kind of criminal genius who outwitted the police. I think he was a lot more like Jack the Ripper–more lucky than smart!

Now you can all start explaining to me just how wrong I am. :twisted: ;)

Aww, thank you, Trav. :oops: What a warm welcome–I knew I was gonna like this site! :mrgreen:

And I like that I made you laugh–not everyone, err, appreciates my sense of humor! I admit it’s a little offbeat, and I can be moody, but I do have a lively sense of humor, I love to laugh and nothing pleases me more than making other people laugh too!! (I guess I don’t need to add I was the class clown!)

So—given my mutual love of humor and–you guessed it–of cats, I could not resist this avatar. Glad you liked it too! :D

Hi Aries! :)


…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep. L.A. Times, 1969
