There is a new book about to be published by Harper Collins by someone claiming that Zodiac was his father. The author’s name is Gary L. Stewart. What sets this book apart from the many, many others is that this guy got a publisher and it’s not self-published! It has an index, too, YAY!

‘The Zodiac Killer Is My Father,’ Claims a New HarperCollins Book That’s Been Kept Secret for Months
By Elon Green
Dozens of HarperCollins staff — sales, marketing, publicity, and legal — have, for months, kept a book almost entirely under the radar. The Most Dangerous Animal of All, by Gary L. Stewart (Amazon rank, as of 1:30 p.m. Monday: #140,113), has no cover art. Its subject matter has been kept out of the press. But the book, which will be published tomorrow, does have an intriguing plot summary that reads, in part:
An explosive and historic book of true crime and an emotionally powerful and revelatory memoir of a man whose ten-year search for his biological father leads to a chilling discovery: His father is one of the most notorious-and still at large-serial killers in America.
Not mentioned in the summary: Stewart, a vice-president at Delta Tech Service in Baton Rouge, alleges that his father was the Zodiac Killer, who is believed to have killed at least five people in Northern California, and famously sent letters and cryptograms to Bay Area newspapers.
He reached this conclusion after twelve years of research, Tina Andreadis, a publicist at HarperCollins, told me this afternoon.
Approximately fifteen months ago, B.G. Dilworth Agency brought a proposal to HarperCollins’s Michael Signorelli (an editor who has since left for Henry Holt). It was acquired within a week or two, for an amount HarperCollins declined to disclose. “It was a standard acquisition process,” another publicist told me, “except for the NDA.” Stewart was paired with writer Susan Mustafa, a veteran of the true crime genre.
The book — 367 pages, including the index — was vetted by HarperCollins lawyers, including Fabio Bertoni, who is now general counsel at The New Yorker. “Our lawyers felt it was legally sound,” said Andreadis.
I asked if HarperCollins had contact with the San Francisco Police Department, for verification purposes. No, and apparently for good reason. According to the book, Andreadis said, the San Francisco Police Department “knew more than they’re willing to admit.”
She didn’t share many details of the book, but told me that Stewart’s father had a criminal record in San Francisco (“forgeries, bad checks”), and there was a strong resemblance between his father’s mug shot and the police sketch.
Apparently, the police sketch was a good one. Said Andreadis: “If you look at Gary’s photo next to the sketch of the Zodiac next to his father’s mug shot, you can see that there is very clearly more than just a passing resemblance. They look alike.”
“He didn’t want to believe,” she said. “I don’t think most people want to know that their father is a notorious serial killer.”
Did I miss it? What is the name of his suspect?

They haven’t said the name of the suspect but since the author’s last name is Stewart, I’m guessing it’s the suspect’s last name, too, providing the author didn’t take the last name of his step-father or something like that. I’m trying to figure it out now.
There was someone on the forums a couple of years back that was from Louisiana, where this author is from, saying he had a real good suspect. Don’t remember the details but maybe someone else will. The only other alternative is to buy the book! The only reason I posted this was because a fairly reputable publishing house is publishing this book.

Either he would have to be adopted, or his Mother got pregnant with him via an affair, because his Father was married to his Mother for 60 years,and that’s BEFORE he was born.

An explosive and historic book of true crime and an emotionally powerful and revelatory memoir of a man whose ten-year search for his biological father leads to a chilling discovery: His father is one of the most notorious-and still at large-serial killers in America.
Soon after his birth mother contacted him for the first time at the age of thirty-nine, adoptee Gary L. Stewart decided to search for his biological father. It was a quest that would lead him to a horrifying truth and force him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about himself and his world.
Written with award-winning author and journalist Susan D. Mustafa, The Most Dangerous Animal of All tells the story of Stewart’s decade-long search for his father following a complex trail of startling twists and connections. Combing through government records and news reports and through conversations with his father’s relatives and friends, Stewart turns up a host of clues, including forensic evidence, identifying his father as one of the most infamous and still-wanted serial killers in American history.

Okay, one of these is his real parent:
daughters, Carolyn Sue Overton, Albuquerque, NM and Judith Ellen Gilford, Tucson, AZ; sons, Robert Charles Jamison, Portland, OR and Frank Michael Kilitzian, Valdosta, GA
The last one, Frank M, is about the same age, he can’t be his father, and the other male is close in age too. I think one of the women is his Mother:
Carolyn, or Judith,most likely…maybe track down their husbands or ex husbands
