Greetings,

My names Justin Dombrowski. I happened to stumble upon this site by accident from posting over at the Zodiackiller.com forum. Just thought I would drop by and make an introduction.

I’m a filmmaker/writer hailing from the Great Lakes region. I’ve always had a fascination with the Zodiac case and have followed it since 1999 when I was a young pre-teen. I co own an Independent Film Company, Pickwick Pictures, and am in the process of writing a book about the Zodiac Murders titled: Paradice: The terrifying true story of the serial killer that shocked a nation. The book primarily retells the Zodiac case through a narrative and novelist of approach through the daily newspaper articles, crime reports and firsthand accounts of those who lived the crime.

Besides that I look forward to posting on here and interacting with everyone (especially familiar faces from ZK)!

All the best,
Justin

Welcome Justin,

Congrats on your film company too!

May I ask about your film, is the main character Zodiac or are you trying for a tone like the Son of Sam film where its more about how the city felt and the panic that hit the regular folks?

Cheers

Truth

Welcome Justin! Sounds like a cool Zodiac project you are working on, and anything you make and put out there, helps to keep the case in the public spotlight, so thanks!! :)

Truth,

Our first film is actually titled "The Gales of November" which is about the last hours of the crewmen of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sunk in 1975. However a future screenplay in the works is about the Zodiac Murders but is told from the viewpoint of Zodiac.

Thanks for the kind words.

All the best,
Justin

Welcome Justin–

Lots of Zodiac book competition out there, but hopefully you can pull off a refreshing read. :)

Welcome, Justin! Here’s my take on Z: A young man unsure of his masculinity, who over-compensates by adopting a macho persona, e.g., high school football player, etc. Eventually he marries, finds he is unable to function sexually. He takes out his frustrations by murdering a couple parked in a Lover’s Lane and afterward discovers that now he can make love to his wife. Eventually, however, his impotence returns, and he goes on the hunt again.

Hello & Welcome,
Being a Vallejo Girl, I have my own take on the Zodiac. Everyone wants closure to this case & Vallejo people really want & need it as it was a very sad, scary, difficult experience & people still feel the deep cuts as scars.

If Zodiac ever joined a Z forum, I’m sure he would have been banned for not following forum rules. Zam’s/Quote

I like that Dag..I reckon you nailed it..to him killing was exhilarating. but temporary. it was a fix. How many "fixes" not attributed to him? Maybe still at it. Who knows!

TY, Mr. Iowe! :D! I’ve modified my "script" as follows: Z is a college student with the impotence scenario as given, and he’s not married. He is able to achieve sexual satisfaction via Lover’s Lane killings. With his last killing, that of Stine, Z discovers, to his horror (remember, this is 1970!) that murdering a man also gives him a tingle where he mingles. As serial killer, he claims the kill, but his murderous career is effectively over.

A movie should be as close to factual as possible. The killer is driven by inner demons. He kills when he is high on weekends. He was a special forces reject for mental reasons. He therefore sets out to prove to everyone that he can kill. He loves to taunt and prove how smart he is as he hates the police and he feels superior.. He is a loner. He hates his mom and his sexual orientation towards men. He is a white male of Norwegian decent.. and is attracted to the same. He moves at night and frequents movie houses and envisions himself in a limelight of death feared by a city he terrorized. He attacked the men first because they were the real targets. They were good looking, normal and had girls. The cab driver was killed after he asked to many questions..

that’s all I have for ya good luck with the movie

I couldn’t agree more TGOZ and that is why it is important to KNOW when you are stating facts. I think as a former detective, you would know how important that is.

YOU as an individual have come to your own conclusion, but those conclusions don’t make it fact.

Tahoe, Yes you are so right and court of law decides that. but one thing for sure. it all starts with reasonable suspicion then evidence, not conjecture, enough of this reasonable evidence and ya get probable cause, Investigative ideas and suspects are born of such. I have mine and yall have yours. If I keep and open mind I can visit the evidence gathered by another websluth and decide for myself. If I don’t i will be like others.. refusing to get off what is most likely a dead end road. That is why I’m here.. You?

That is great when that’s how it is done. No problem with that what-so-ever and that is why we are all here. I just take note when folks make it sound like they already have the answers. I feel the need to emphasize when it appears someone might be throwing out statements like they are facts..that’s all. Many, many people have come to this site doing such a thing and we like to keep it from going down that road. It is ALL alleged at this point.
