EDIT: I just spent a bit of time reading all of those articles, which I had previously missed. Quick review – very good.

I agree Glurk

Anyone see Richard Gaikowski on a bagel?

Oh wait, I found him!

Serial Grillers – The Zodiac Burger with Blue Cheese

" One problem: the handwriting in the book isn’t even Earl Van Best’s, Voigt said. When Voigt first caught wind of Stewart’s book, he found the handwriting sample to be the most potentially convincing piece of evidence. Within days, though, a team of researchers on his forum, he claims, had completely debunked that piece of evidence, showing the handwriting they’d tested was from Van Best’s marriage certificate, which, it turns out, was written by the preacher who officiated the wedding.

“And he’s far too old to be the Zodiac,” Voigt says.

Voigt isn’t alone in his analysis. (Stewart could not be reached for comment.)

Mike Morford, the proprietor of zodiackillersite.com, says a team of researchers on his site detected the identical discrepancy. "

Thanks for giving me credit for my research on Van Best, Ratter. It was no "team" of researchers. Just one researcher.

Mike

I believe he reads this site and hopefully he will give appropriate credit.

I concur it was Mike_R. who did the sole investigating in order to find out who it was who actually filled out the marriage lic./certificate. We all certainly gave our opinion, but thanks to Mike_R., we were able to do so.

Yes, it was Mike R. Who deserves credit for his excellent research on the marriage license!

I also agree that it was mike_r that first found that Marriage Certificate evidence. I had forgotten about that. Then again, I have long forgotten the entire Gary Stewart book and etc., since it is so unimportant and inconsequential in the long run… Are people still taking his book seriously?

All water under the bridge at this point, at least IMHO. But credit should be assigned where due, kudos to Mike.

Well Mike, it actually was a team effort, as the material you got and posted, I had already sent away for and not received yet. Additionally, we all discussed the book on this site and Tom’s in the 1st place to make us send away for the questioned writing. But I guess deep down, we all want to see out name mentioned? You’ll be happy to hear that I mentioned you by name giving you credit in the radio interview I just did exposing Stewart’s book as garbage.

It is conceivable that if it were not for my efforts, Gary Stewart would be being heralded as the man who solved the case. That handwriting was compelling. Many would have considered the case closed unless someone else at some point thought of looking at the priest’s handwriting. So it is far from "water under the bridge, LOL."

As the old saying goes, there is no "T-E-A-M" in the word "I"!

Well, I would have posted a copy,as would anybody else that received it, so I don’t think it would have gone undiscovered. Handwriting alone wouldn’t solve this case, so even having some Z like writing wouldn’t be the end. Either way, I am glad to see Stewart’s fails exposed, no matter who is to thank.

I think Mike_R’s getting a hold of that lady at the church(?) and getting the additional handwriting out of those logs was sure an added bonus!
