He also worked hard enough and long enough to place Gaikowski inside Darlene’s house back in 1969.

Do you know how he was able to do that? Was it from an interview with a witness?

It was indeed from a witness, who had attended the same gathering as Gaikowski. They were both into tropical fish and hit it off. Ken shocked me with that info during one of my visits to his house. He gave me permission to share the info, which I immediately did, but then asked me to tap the brakes because he was worried it might jeopardize something. But everyone on my mailing list is aware of it, although I am guessing "Russ Thompson" will cry foul nonetheless

He followed the evidence and it lead him to Gaikowski’s house. He also worked hard enough and long enough to place Gaikowski inside Darlene’s house back in 1969. I doubt he did those things because he thought Gaikowski was not viable as Zodiac.

So nobody knows when Zodiac began killing, but Gaikowski doesn’t fit because he was 29 in 1966? Even though we don’t know when Zodiac began killing? That makes zero sense.

Right, we don’t know when he started killing. Zodiac stated that he began collecting his slaves in 1968. My post noted that IF Bates was his first murder, then that’s kind of a late start for a serial killer. Even when serial killers start killing late, and some do, there is usually a progression from peeping, to burglary, sometimes sexual assault, then killing. Gaikowski looks like a normal citizen. In fact, he looks like a left-wing hippie activist, which is the polar opposite of a serial killer. If he were the Zodiac, he did an amazing job of hiding it. He was either a Bond villain super genius, or he had multiple personalities, with his Zodiac personality dying in the 70s. Since he’s been dead for seventeen years, if no one has proven him the be the Zodiac yet, it’s very likely that no one will.

I just never understood what exactly it is about Gaikowski that highlights him as being a suspect. What was it exactly that brought him to prominence? because coincidences are just that a coincidence.

There are no Zodiac suspects that are really very good suspects. The evidence adduced against Gaikowski is merely of the sort to show that maybe he could have been the Zodiac. I don’t doubt that Gaikowski could have been the Zodiac. Most white men of a certain age who lived in SF in 68-71 could have been the Zodiac. But there really isn’t any evidence that demonstrates that he MUST be the Zodiac to the exclusion of anyone else. I do think that the "GYKE" in the 408 that translates to "AUSE" is interesting. It could be that Gaikowski built that into the cipher to provide a clue to his identity. It could also be pure coincidence. I also think that the fact that he was a combat medic is not something to be overlooked. It demonstrates two things: 1) he could think quickly and act under extreme pressure; and, 2) combat medics are taught to tear the back of a shirt to make a tourniquet in much the same way Stine’s shirt was torn. That makes it possible that he is the Zodiac. It does not make it probable, however. You need more than requisite background knowledge to finger Gaikowski as a killer. The only other fact that might make me think he could have been the Zodiac is that Gaikowski was hospitalized in a mental institution during the time the Zodiac was inactive (1971-1974).

My biggest reason for doubting that he is the Zodiac is that he really doesn’t demonstrate any telltale signs of a killer, and he lived until 2004. If he were the Zodiac, I find it quite odd that he wouldn’t have written at least one letter in response to Graysmith’s book. I also find it odd that he wouldn’t have raised his head during that ABC News special where ALA, KQ, and another guy’s DNA were tested. I would have expected a letter or something if Zodiac were still alive.

The photographs do confirm the Tom V I saw on those crime blogs.

Too bad for "Russ Thompson" that these details came from Narlow himself. You see, some of us actually knew him.

You try to insinuate yourself in this case as someone important because you chased down and pestered actual investigators?
I have a photograph of myself with Jake E Lee but I am still a horrible guitar player and am lying to claim otherwise by waving a photo around. But I did meet Jake E Lee and put my arm around him. He was nice to me and encouraged me, too!
I also notice you guys were drinking in those photos. Obviously soaking up everything there is to know. Great proof of concept, there, fella.
Tom Voight, you are a bottom feeder and a pariah. You must be aware of this judging by your inane reactions and desperate need to prove your clout. You have promoted various crackpot pap about this case and also tried to profit off it. That is disgusting beyond belief.
Your blather, all of it, is hot garbage.

Jake E. Lee was my brother-in-law.

Phenomenal!

I love nothing better than to crank my JCM800 and perform anything he contributed to the Ozzy albums.

It’s a pity Sharon got rid of him. She was quite uneven handed in she dealt with people.

I learned from Lee than batteries vs powered can even make a difference to the tone of a pedal.

No they don’t, but you’re definitely one of the pedophiles I found.

No, he invited my wife and I over for dinner.

…whom nobody would have ever heard had Randy Rhoads not died. Not good enough on his own, much like you having to drag me into each of your stupid posts just to make them somewhat readable.

I also notice you guys were drinking in those photos.

You mean the bottom pic with the picnic table? Those are clearly water bottles. Or did you mean the top pic? Nobody was drinking. I was sunburned and Ken had cancer.

"Russ Thompson"…single handedly taking Morf’s message board into the toilet, one post at a time…

Cry harder.
