This book is not selling well.

Mike

ere’s the BEST Marriage application, the ONLY form he ever filled out to marry Judith:

Looks like only Best’s signature—my comments here: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=1662

We have another SF Marriage application we can try and get from his 1st marriage, and his ss application is on its way

Super morf! Thanks for all of your efforts.

Just curious, how many posters bought and read or are reading this book.

I am not reading the book..

I couldn’t wait for the print edition, so I downloaded the audio version and listened to it in the car. The audio version was actually narrated by the author which I thought was cool. I think that Earl Van Best Jr. is the most interesting and likely suspects yet in my opinion for several reasons:

E.V.B . . .
– Had an absent/abusive father and a rejecting mother who actually wished he was a girl
– Spent time in Japan and England
– Learned code from his father Father
– Had Interest in weaponry
– Had an obsession with women much younger than him
– Knew Anton LaVey personally (SF Church of Satan)
– Travelled freqently to Mexico
– Worked as a cab driver in SF
– Knew and appreciated opera/The Mikado
– Striking resemblence to the Zodiac WANTED poster

Hey Genesis, don’t mean to go on the attack but pretty much every poster on this thread disagrees with you, and the reasons you give, to me, are tenuous at best. Do you realize how many suspects who have come and gone who strikingly resemble the wanted poster? ( and really, does he?) At this stage in the game, without smoking gun evidence, you need something that at least connects to Z in regards to handwriting, strong linguistic characteristics, or something that ties them to the victims, something bigger than the fact that he travelled to Japan, Mexico and London. Does this guy even have a military background? Not saying Z has to have one, but it would fit.

So far the most compelling thing I’ve read is the title to this thread in the sub forum.

NEW! "The Zodiac Killer Is My Father" by seagull.

Could’ve saved us a lot of time Deb if you’d mentioned this a little earlier lol.

Genesis, you certainly are welcome to your own opinion, but you certainly will face some Friendly debate about Best. Here’s some now:

– Had an absent/abusive father and a rejecting mother who actually wished he was a girl–
Alot of people did, and they didn’t become serial killers

– Spent time in Japan and England
Alot of military men spent time in those places, and not all of them are serial killers. The japanese interest by Zodiac may be as it relates to the Mikado, and the english influence like use of the word,’SHALL’, may come from an interest in english lit & authors

– Learned code from his father Father
Anybody with interest in codes or ciphers is of interest, but how do we know this is truly fact? As I recall, his Father was a Chaplain in the military, how do we know again he had code training?(I forget if he details it in the book)

– Had Interest in weaponry
Again, besides the mention of him hunting for dinner in the book, how do we know this is true? How do we know he was into guns & shooting?

– Had an obsession with women much younger than him
There’s no evidence that Zodiac had any interest at all in young girls

– Knew Anton LaVey personally (SF Church of Satan)
Zodiac never mentioned LaVey of made reference to him, so this is a moot point

– Travelled freqently to Mexico
Just because Zodiac mentioned Mexico in his speech at Berryessa, does not mean that he frequently went there.

– Worked as a cab driver in SF
So did a thousand other guys

– Knew and appreciated opera/The Mikado
Anyone with an interest in the Mikado usually gets a bit of attention, but alot of people were into Gilbert & Sullivan

– Striking resemblence to the Zodiac WANTED poster

A passing resemblance, sure, but again, a thousand other guys in SF could be Z if we are convicting them on looks. Plus, Fouke mentioned that Zodiac had a widow’s peak(Best did not),that Zodiac was barrel chested and stocky(Best was not). I would challenge anybody to find a better likeness to that sketch than Ross Sullivan, dead ringer in all detail, right down to the Widow’s peak!

Again, these points I am making are not totally directed at you, they also go to the Author and his book. The things he brings up are the same things you bring up too, and as you can see, it’s easy to diminish these points as i did above

Just curious, how many posters bought and read or are reading this book.

Just for your survey, Zamantha: I have a hard cover copy of the book. I read it thoroughly. I am up-to-date on the ongoing conversations, here and at other boards. (And of course jury is still out on Z!)

That is hilarious, Trav! Well, my father was 6’3" and weighed about 235 and we did live in Napa at the time of the murders! His birthday was Oct. 13th, the date the Stine letter was postmarked and my mother’s birthday was Sept. 27th! How am I doing Trav? Actually this is all true, but my dad was as bald as a cue ball!

Deb, based on what you just wrote, you have enough info to make a case and write a book, make sure you get the same publicity team Stewart had!

Finally it all makes sense … wigs.
