Hey, everyone.

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

Things have been a little slow on the boards recently and with the case in general. I’d like to change that.

In the next few weeks, government agencies will be slowly opening up. What I plan on doing is filing multiple FOIA and public record requests for information on the Zodiac case and some of the high profile suspects.

That said, I’d like your input. What case records, public records, documents, or evidence that pertain to Zodiac would you like to see me request? What are some questions that might be answered if we could see the document. For example, I plan on filing a request for Richard Gaikowski’s army records.

So, let’s see what falls out when we shake the Zodiac tree a bit. Let me know what you’d like me to make a request for below.

There’s the infamous "book with Paul Stine’s signature" that supposedly came from Gaik’s couch. I’ve never seen Stine’s Social Security application.

KQ’s passport could prove to be illuminating.

How much digging have people done on Robert Hale West or Xenophon Anthony? Not sure if a deep dive on Edwards would be productive (due to his abundance of aliases) and Ted K and Larry Kane are pretty well explored already.

These days, I’m more interested in guys who are off the radar, but being able to definitively cross off names or debunk specific claims would obviously help to reduce the noise.

I would like to see all the files they have got on Richard Reed Marshall aka Joe Don Dickey so I can further investigate this suspect. Thanks.

Anything on possible links between Zodiac and the Charles Manson family cult would be interesting.

Kq passport and eventual files police regarding his meeting with AP during the night of the stine murder.

I had listen to some very interesting podcast with Mr Butterfield regarding Don cheney as a possible suspect in the case. i am curious to know more about it (i will read the book sightings on the zodiac later)

I’m thinking about filing a FOIA for Ross Sullivan’s FBI file (assuming he has one). Do you think it’s worth it? What do you guys think?

Maybe not the right place to post this, but I’m looking for anyone who has a newspapers.com or ancestry.com account. I let mine expire. I’m looking for high school yearbooks from the mid-90s to try to find one specific person. I promise it’s Z-related!

If anybody has access, feel free to contact me through the messaging system on this board.

Quick update:
I filed a public records request for the “Oakland A’s” letter sent to the couple in Vallejo. I received a response today that rejected my request. The reason given is that it is part of an “active investigation”.

Good news in a way!

What agencies still have open, active cases on Zodiac crimes?

Confirmed Zodiac activity in Sacramento is something I should have mentioned in my last post.
