Interesting page of ‘Metamorphosis’. Ed Edwards went to Sacramento, also passed Nevada/Californian border (Lake Tahoe?). Some guy wrote ‘Zodiac’ on the site, other comments go over the whole book such as when Ed was where etc..that guy had a curly ‘f’ in his handwriting, btw..creepy.

Up to 5’9 1/2 tall, 160-170 lbs., worked as a paintsprayer (also at a gas station, written earlier)

Glue for model airplanes…another similarity to Z

Edward Wayne Edwards walking with a limb, older, wearing heavy rimmed black glasses. There is also written somewhere in the book that he had broken his ankle, had removed his cast quite early by himself.

In prison during 1966, Cheri Jo Bates

Edwards lecturing at ‘lawyers organizations’ and at ‘various universities’, also has appeared on radio/tv shows
(keep in mind..one newspaper said his former wife Marlene opened the door when two police officers came in for the arrest, Ed however said they smashed the door when he wanted to open it and many police officers were there, pointing multiple guns at him..notorious liar)

Zodiac stops at the time when Edwards gets injured

Edwards being a dyslectic, too

Edwards being a young movie buff (child psychology profile)

QT, I’m just about half way through this book [thanks for posting it]. I must say I am having a very hard time believing 98% of what this guy says. I don’t doubt his criminal activity, that’s fact. However, the rest seems like total bs.

Did you get this vibe from his writing?

There is some doubt about it, definitely. In fact I expected him to write about his homicides, however there is the chance that at that point of time (’72) he had not killed anybody, yet. But there are some doubts, I just don’t buy his story playing cards during the prison riot on the one hand while on the other hand he could describe how the shooting had happened in the main office of the prison. That doesn’t go together. Too bad that he hadn’t written his bio when it was already clear that he had killed some people. It would have become a way more interesting read, due to details on his murders etc. A timeline, when & where he had been, in fact would be a good idea. But obviously he had known about the lover’s lane shootings..and in no word had mentioned the Zodiac himself, although that one was known all over the state, I guess. Suspicious. The only thing I don’t get together is (me believing Z had killed CJB) his connection to Riverside and CJB. There is a Wayne Edwards, 62, living near the CJB crime scene (few roads away, 5-10 or so), but this guy is not him I guess. And he was in prison during that one. Donna Lass (blond handsome guy seen), however, could definitely have been his and so could the others in SF and Vallejo. Too bad he’s dead and can’t talk about it anymore.

Eatin’ my shorts if that one is unrelated to Ed Edwards (Akron connection).
