Curious to know more about the letters, but wasn’t there only one from Zodiac mailed to Vallejo? I would be nice to know it was still in Vallejo’s hands–SF seems to have some things MIA.
“…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
a new thread needs to be formed.. questions and answers.
Team Terry maybe?
so as not to be overwhelmed only one or two questions at any one time. im sure many here could rattle of a dozen in a heart beat.
probably in the private section?
maybe questions sanctioned by a mod so as to give it some structure, keeping out the BS..we don’t want to scare terry off with some ahhh posters.
cheers
Welcome to the forum, Detective Poyser.
It is kind of you to take the time to check in. I know there are many here who look forward to helping in any way we can.
Welcome Detective Poyser, What a nice surprise to have someone who can actually help with some closure in this solvable case.
I was a waitress at three of the most popular clubs in Vallejo during the Zodiac crime spree. I knew both George Bawart , Steve Baldino and dated Buzz Gordon for a few yrs, so VPD has a special place in my heart.
You mentioned having some Zodiac Letters and envelopes , I am wondering if there could be some DNA under those stamps, or on the flaps of the envelopes that hasn’t been tested ?
Even perhaps some touch DNA on the letters ?
As you probably know already SFPD has only the partial DNA of Zodiac.
Now that there has been so much advancement in DNA , there is "Witness DNA " which can show if the perp is Hispanic ,African American , Irish etc, even gives the eye color !
That would certainly help with eliminating the many suspects that keep showing up almost monthly .
I am pretty sure that you are aware of that, so I feel sort of silly even mentioning it, but if not check it out when you have time.
Again it is a pleasure to have you here, looking forward to anything you can share !
very nice to ‘meet’ you and welcome! I wouldn’t be surprised if you found a lot of helpful information on this site from some of the very knowledgeable posters. I bet a lot of the people on this site would even be very happy to assist you with some of the work load if you were able to share info. Great to have you here!
Nice! Welcome Sir.

Cool to hear from someone on the Inside
Would be great to see Terry on National News w a Headline stating
"Zodiac Case Solved" someday!
Drear Terry.. A few questions
1/ Is your PD still keeping information under wraps from the general public.
2/ How far can you go in divulging information before your superiors squash the project. How much freedom do you have to answer our questions, are you on a level of self management.
3/ Have you been following the case on a personal level..( outside of your shift hours)
4/ How do you think we can help you and how can you help us, do you have information that we don’t.
5/ Did Z ever leave a calling card that you know of. As in a piece of jewelry a tape, matchbook or similar. Did he take trophies.
6/ do you have a favorite suspect.
7/ have you seen anything on this site that gives rise to an interest for further investigation so far.
So many more questions .
I appreciate your time .
Just a reminder to everybody, while it’s only natural to have questions for Terry, he can only devote so much time to the Z case, and as well to posting on this site or answering questions. Please respect that, and hopefully Terry can answer some questions as he able that won’t jeopardize his investigation. And please, as he posted, if you want to share info with him, he asked that you funnel it through me to get it to him,so please do that. Thanks

I’d love for you to discuss Mr. Tarbox with him. He might be very interested in and save himself lots of time by consulting with Tarbox.
Tarbox’s Suspect may be a big waste of time,since we don’t know the Suspect’s name even.If Tarbox was going to go to the police about his Suspect, he’s had ample time

Welcome Det. Poyser,
So happy to hear that The Z Case is getting another look! All of us here want this case solved. For myself & other Vallejo people (not even on the forums) we all want & need closure to this case that has haunted us for years. Myself, I know a couple people in the police reports, which draws me in much more. I do have a Vallejo Friend with an interesting Vallejoan POI, never discussed or looked at, but really should be.
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely, Zamantha from Vallejo

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

Yes but otoh, Tarbox might not be aware of the current situation. Tarbox may decide to confide in this Detective rather than others at other times. How do you know that Tarbox would not be helpful in ELIMINATING many innocent suspects? We don’t need to know the suspect’s name but the detective should imo. in order to rule him in or out!
Just wanted to say thank you for joining the forum and creating this thread. AND thank you for your service in the Vallejo PD. This all is fascinating to read! Ok sorry continue

I’m not convinced that Tarbox actually met the Zodiac and if so we don’t know that the person used his real name. If a Z suspect was found then Tarbox could assist with determining if it’s the same person but I won’t use him to eliminate. A lot of people offer false confessions. It could have been a joke, someone with mental health that believes they were Z, someone that just wanted attention, or it could have been Z, but personally I find it hard to believe that Z could confess to anyone. Although it is certainly possible.
