Hello everyone. I’m doing a investigation into the murder of my mother Theresa Brown. I was brought to this site do to the mentioning of her name multiple times. I have never heard of the connection and don’t know a lot about the Zodiac murders. I would love any information in connection with my mother that anyone might have. I am willing to answer any questions anyone might have. I have a request with the sheriffs department to get access to my mothers files but we will see how far that gets me.

I will be happy to help you with anything I can about what I know. I am not sure if you are still living in Calif. or in OR with your father? I am pretty sure that the cold case Detective handling your mothers case, will be helpful to you. You can send me a private message if you like and I will give you my phone number.

I am the one who suggested that the man responsible could be the Zodiac. That is because the man who tried to force me off highway 4 so many times believes that is who he is. He is also the same man I got away from in Vallejo 1968. (That happened just months before Zodiac announced himself to the public.) I have a few pictures of this suspect and his handwriting, I also have his DNA if needed?

I was told by a person who’s father worked up north a few years ago with a retired Antioch police officer. That officer said other officers in Antioch believed that the real Zodiac was living there! That didn’t surprise me, but the idea that I was not alone in believing that was a huge surprise!

Pittsburg PD did receive a call by a man claiming to be the Zodiac in the late 80’s or early 90’s, he told them he was the killer of a dozen women in the area. They thought it had to be a hoax call ,because no one had heard from the Zodiac in many years. He even went as far as to tell them where to find the body of Andrea Ingersole , who was my eldest daughters friend. Yet they did not think he could be Zodiac.

I wouldn’t mention Zodiac to Pittsburg PD or the sheriffs department who is probably the one handling your mothers case. (At least not right away.) Most detectives tend to shut down at the mention of the word Zodiac.

That is all I got:

Theresa Colleen ‘Teri’ Klock Brown

30 yrs. old, female,04.22.1988

Theresa Brown moved from Lake Tahoe to Antioch a couple of months prior to her murder. She had been working as a waitress in a Walnut Creek hotel for about three weeks.

The sun was just beginning to swell above the hills when the California Highway Patrol officer noticed the black skid marks on eastbound Highway 4 at Willow Pass Road. Peering down into a ravine from the side of the road, he spotted the two-door brown Mercury Montego. It was upright, but facing the wrong direction. When he reached the bottom of the ditch, the officer found the car empty, and the passenger side window broken out. He found the bloody body of a 30-year-old woman in a thicket of bamboo about 15 feet away. Theresa Colleen Brown had been stabbed to death. Nearly 12 years later, her slaying remains unsolved. While investigators have not determined a motive, Contra Costa County sheriff’s Sgt. Mark Hale said he does not believe it was a random killing. "We don’t feel this is a stranger who did this," he said. "This is not a wandering, hobo hitchhiker who jumped off a train. This was someone in the area." Brown’s mother, Loise Proulx of Antioch, remains eager to find out who killed her daughter. "It would mean everything to me," she said. "If I knew who it was and he was executed, I’d be there to watch him. I would want him punished." She even wrote to then-Gov. Pete Wilson asking him to offer a reward for information about her daughter’s death but to no avail. Proulx described her daughter as a "darling girl," devoted to her children. Brown liked to go out on Friday nights and loved to laugh. After separating from her husband, Brown left Oregon in January 1988 and moved to her mother’s house in Antioch with her youngest, a 4-year-old boy, in tow. Her then-husband, who still lives in Oregon and was living there with their two older children when she died, is not a suspect, Hale said. Their youngest son lives with his father now. At the time of her death, Brown had worked for about two weeks as a cocktail waitress at the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in Walnut Creek. She had a tough facade, but was also described by co-workers as very friendly and outgoing, Hale said. Brown seemed to have made most of her acquaintances in bars, and some of these casual friends were "biker types," Hale said. Brown’s sister Mary Knibbe said Brown was "carefree and innocent" but began hanging out with a tough crowd shortly after moving to Antioch. Still, on most nights Brown went straight to the baby sitter’s house to pick up her little boy after her work shift ended, Hale said. On the night of her slaying, Brown did not mention that she had other plans, and the baby sitter expected her to pick up her son. She never showed up. Brown was last seen at 2:15 a.m. April 22, 1988, when she left work. Her body was discovered at 6:30 a.m. Other hotel employees told police there had been no problems with customers that night and several had watched Brown get into her car and leave alone, Hale said. He believes she met her killer somewhere later. There were signs that Brown had sexual contact after leaving work, but Hale doesn’t know if it was with the killer or someone else. What Hale said he does believe, though, is that before Brown’s killer stabbed her, he terrorized the 30-year-old, chasing her down the freeway and running her car off the road. After the crash, the killer hiked down into the ravine after her. Before she was stabbed, Brown had either been dragged out of the car, Hale said, or she was already out of the car and trying to run away. Proulx and Knibbe both said they believe Brown was killed because she knew something the killer didn’t want her to know. Hale said this was one of several possible motives detectives have considered.
