Good points, UKS.

I’m afraid you’re right. Which is why any sort of publication of the sort I have in mind would have to, in all likelihood, be done purely for, say, academic purposes. A "Zodiac case companion" of sorts which is published just for the benefit of those (probably rather few) who might be interested, with no hopes of making a profit, let alone justify the possible cost of such a project.

Morf is right too, of course – the sites do contain the info an interested party would be…er…interested in. But there are plenty of these sites, by and by – and the quality and objectivity vary to a great extent. As does the general, let’s say, take these sites have on the case.

I have been toying with a somewhat different idea for a while now, which I might mention here, namely to write something – an extended essay of some kind – on the most popular suspects and theories, particularly those who have been "fronted" by certain authors and prolific online personalities. My interest in this goes beyond the theories themselves, it should be said, and the work in question would partly deal with the "I have a POI" phenomenon as such – but an important part would nevertheless be a presentation and a critique of these theories (and these "suspect" cases).

If I ever get around to finishing it, I will certainly submit it to you gentlemen and gentlewomen for a proper peer review before doing anything with it (the latter wouldn’t amount to anything more fancy than launching a blog, at the most – or perhaps have it published on an existing site, if it should fit the profile there, so to speak).

Well, I would be interested in helping in a project like you Guys are talking about, adding whatever I can to help. If anybody can come up with solid ideas or plans, let me know. Getting the case in the spotlight(and keeping it there) are both very important.

Well, I don’t want to be a nay-sayer, I just feel that anybody that’s interested in Zodiac can simply find this site, or several like it, on the net and learn about the case for free. At the same time,I could see a handful of people that never join a site and don’t research on the net, but it can’t be many.

Like I said, if Gary Stewart can write a Z book full of hog wash, and get the press & media attention he has received, then anybody else should be able to.

Unfortunately Morf13 the only people who have sold books recently, or made egregious claims, are always the people who illicit the biggest response. This is unfortunately how the world works, sensationalism sells, not cold hard truth. The most publicized recent claims of Gary Stewart, Lyndon Lafferty, Deborah Perez, Corey Starliper etc are examples of misguided individuals with one agenda, 15 minutes or more of fame and money, and invariably are blinkered to reason, even when presented with the truth. Something they are clearly not interested in. We are all to blame. Take a thread on this site as a point in fact. In the ‘Introduce Yourself’ section on this site, one man has elicited more responses than any other individual to date, David Gold and how has he done this, by spouting out misguided, unfounded and utterly contemptuous rubbish, that quite frankly does not deserve a response, but the opposite happens, he gets all the attention he craves. This is exactly how the above characters in our Zodiac mystery get all their attention also, grinding out complete drivel, that unfortunately evokes an unmerited response. The fact of the matter is the widely known facts of this case are nearly half a century old, and cold hard facts don’t sell. On the other hand the garbage load of old festering nonsense that these utterly ludicrous individuals spout out, unfortunately sells, and I’m afraid that’s life.

Spot on.


…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep. L.A. Times, 1969

So uk spy catcher I think you just pumped up the name for this online book..

ZODIAC
The Cold Hard Truth

That as a title makes all the other books look as if they are a bit vague

Question: Anyone familiar with professional site builders/maintainers? If any are legit and truly helpful, please let me know. Same goes for online background checkers, as in quasi-detective.
