Hi Morf,

Thanks. I learned it is a lot tougher to put a book into the library than to take one out!

Well, like I said, while I don’t like Ross for Z, I do like him a lot for the Bates murder. We’ll see over time…

Mike

Thanks for the tech pointer Mike R, you are indeed right about the kindle viewer app for PC. For a while Amazon was offering kindle writers the opportunity to sell copies on a print-to-order basis, it’ll be a real shame if that’s stopped. I’ve got nothing against kindle as a format, I just like having physical paper to look at and collect when it comes to some subjects. This book has definitely jumped to the top of my wish list.
ps: is this the book where we find out Mr X was your father?

Hi James,

I am glad you are able to download my book.

LOL. I am not Luke Skywalker.

A person named "AQvale" posted to this site last summer. Here is their post:

"Aqvale simply means I’m a member of the qvale family, it is not an initial.

I found this forum a couple years ago while researching my family tree and have thought about posting a few times.

I cannot confirm or deny the allegations/suspicions against my grandfather or his brother that appear on this forum, as I am no Zodiac expert. The thought of a family member being connected is pretty horrid, but I’d like to keep an open mind.

I suppose I’m here if anyone has questions in regards to my family, perhaps to provide insight? If what I have to say proves to some that a Qvale is no longer a POI that would be a relief, and if the reverse, could some day lead to much needed closure for others. I will try to be as honest as I can be.

Attached is the family book, transcribed from Norwegian and updated by Bjarne Qvale in 2004. Our family branch starts on page 62. I believe it can be found for free online somewhere, not sure."

I was blown away by the sentiment expressed in this post. It is very noble and admirable that while it would be shocking for them to learn that Kjell was the Zodiac killer, the family ultimately wants the truth, whatever it may be, to come out for the good of "others" (i.e., the victims and their long suffering families). In the last sentence, they posted a link to the family genealogy going back to the 1600s. No Rodelli’s are in there. I checked.

I have this eBook but haven’t had time to read any of it. I do commute about an hour each way to work. So, I end up listening to tons of audio books. Not really sure how the market is for Zodiac books now (especially published by smaller publishers). Not sure it’s worth your time or not but its something you could do yourself in a few days. Can even sorta publish it yourself for direct purchase/download. Mike R, is this something that’s even a remote possibility?

Hi,
We are working on finding a print publisher. But it takes time. Be patient!

Hi,

I just got my tenth five-star review (out of ten total) by someone who lived in PH in 1969 and who lived through the Z era in SF.

"This was one of the most meticulously-researched true crime books I’ve read.
Whether you agree with the author’s premise, this is required reading for any fan of the Zodiac case."

He felt that KQ had zero chance of being Z before he read my book and now, while he is not 100% convinced, he said that he would not be shocked
if he were Z. That is the goal of my book, to make people think about other suspects than just the "mainstream" ones that everyone talks about.

The revelation about the DNA did more than just bring Allen back into the picture, but that is the only suspect people are talking about with regard to
the DNA. KQ is now viable again too, since he was "eliminated" on the same show. If you want to know why KQ would have volunteered a sample of
his own DNA in 2002, read my book! That act was not the "proof positive" of his innocence that people (including me!) assumed it was
at the time…not by any stretch!

Mike

Hi,

Over the years, I have been pummeled with "KQ was too old to have been the Zodiac killer." KQ was 50 in 1969 but he looked a lot younger. The wanted poster said 35-45 years of age but even though he was only five years older than the upper range, he was "too old." Now here comes EAR/ONS and he was consistently described as being in his teens or early twenties. By my math, he was 30 when the crimes started in 1976 and was seven or eight years older than many thought. So you can APPEAR to be younger than your chronological age. Here is a perfect case in point…

Mike

Hi,

Follow me on Twitter @mikerodelli

I am speaking some reality about DNA. Is time we stop thinking and saying that Z licked his stamps and envelopes and accept that the only hope is that he did not wear gloves when applying the stamps and left touch DNA. But we must insist that the SAME touch DNA be recovered from MULTIPLE letters.No more repeats of the 2002 scandal.

Mike

Hi,

Here is the beginning of my 14th five-star review of 14 total:

"An endorsement from Richard Walter was all I needed to purchase this book. It absolutely lives up to the claim of the largest compilation of circumstantial evidence against any one suspect in the case history."

This person has clearly read "The Murder Room" and understands who Mr. Walter is and also appreciates what an endorsement from him means in terms of giving credibility to my efforts to bring Z to justice!

Mike

Hi,

Here is a five of five review from the website thehorroreport.com. It is consistent with the five star reviews I am receiving on Amazon:

https://www.thehorrorreport.com/book-re … for-zodiac

"WOW! What a great novel! Not only is there “in-detail” walkthroughs of each Zodiac crime but, a new suspect is named and to me, this seems to be a very viable suspect. This book is an impressive collection of a man’s eighteen years of research and amateur investigation. He meticulously pieces together a mountain of evidence which points directly to one person. His almost two decades of relentless digging, searching, questioning and fact-finding has led to the presentation of a thorough casefile on the Zodiac murders and the killer himself. We are given a behavioral profile along with certain “signature” idiosyncrasies highlighted and brought to mainstream attention. Plus, this guy has evidence exhibits to back up his theory. Truly a fascinating case has been developed here.

Although this is a lot of information, and at times can kind of be overwhelming, Rodelli has very efficiently sorted the facts for us, allowing us to read through with ease and quick understanding.

This is definitely NOT the Zodiac case we all know about. There is SO much more here than the usual facts you get in the regular documentaries. There are serious questions about the police sketch, parts of the investigations itself and the neglect or plain disregard of important possible evidence.

Rodelli has obviously dedicated a lot of time, effort and energy (and probably his own money) to getting as close to solving the case as possible. I do believe, after reading this book, that he may very well be the closest anyone has EVER come to identifying who the Zodiac killer really is.

Anybody who likes true crime or unsolved true crime cases would absolutely LOVE this book. If this would be your first REAL exposure to the case, then you are in for an extremely lucky treat. Definitely a must read for all crime fans! Incredibly informative and a fascinating read!"

I was flattered that my story is so unexpected that it reads like a novel but I have asked them to correct the review to reflect that it is a true-crime book!

Rodelli’s Book

As an early birthday treat to myself I’ve paid a very reasonable £4.99 for Mike Rodelli’s iBook on his subject. Cannot wait to delve into it, and will probably proffer some thoughts along the way.

Going in Mike, just bought the book.

Hi "Lover,"

Hope you enjoy it!

Mike

So far this book is top notch. Well written as the story takes the reader through the Zodiac murders and letters.

This is a good book. Well researched. Not sure I’m all into this theory. However, it’s as good as any out there. No idea why people aren’t talking about it.
