I keep an open mind and am careful not to center in on any specific person of interest.

I research every POI with objectivity and attempt to keep my personal feelings and opinions from influencing my views and standings regarding the case.

That being said, I have put the most time into researching:

·Officer Richard Hoffman (in relation to blue rock springs and possible connections to riverside)

·Don Cheney (I actually have a good deal of evidence against Cheney, good evidence as well. I really have not presented my case against Cheney (or against Hoffman) in full, but I will when I have all the glitches worked out. )

·Theodore John Kaczynski (there has been a really good case made in relation to this person of interest, I feel this is a highly plausible suspect, but will leave presenting the case to those who have already been working on it.

I think my favorite accusation so far has been Jim Dunbar, not that I think its credible in any way, simply humorous.

If I had to name a "favorite suspect" it would still be ALA even with the things that supposedly rule him out. But as I say, that would be only if I had to, I don’t discount anyone at this point, TV makes a good case for Gaikowski, AK Wilkes makes a good case for Kazinski, and even as much as I argue with Zresearch about Hoffman I wouldn’t rule him out.

I suppose right now my "favorite" would be Ross Sullivan though I have serious doubts about him, but we need more info about his movements, if he owned or had access to vehicles, the exact state of his mental health, etc.

Of those named to date, based on what is known, number one would be Ted Kazinski and number two would be Ross Sullivan.

Now it is being reported that there are new letters from Z being withheld by police for reasons unknown and also that someone has some inside information from a former FBI agent that has not been disclosed for reasons unknown.

IMO Zodiac could be someone who has never been publicly named.

I don’t really think he’s any of the main suspects. Ross Sullivan may be the least unlikely of them, though. And I am glad George Saxburg’s daughter is getting her DNA tested, he seems to be worth investigating.

As much as it May seem like I get aggravated, and for as much time as it takes me to respond to the topic of officer hoffman, I still appreciate your thorough questioning of my case, you often notice things I had overlooked, and having critical review is always helpful.

I am sure I am argumentative at times, but I always try to remain respectful, and I actually appreciate the input and criticism.

Meh, in the end it’s all just words on the internet and don’t really mean anything other than a difference of opinion. I can argue a point and not take it personally. I notice we agree 90% of the time.

The most likely possibility is that Z is none of the named suspects. Below that, there are three possibilities that I rank equally at this point:

1) TK

2) some kind of organized Team Z,

3) unconnected murders being claimed by a letter writer, with the letter writer only being responsible for the Stine murder, and a the LB murders being inspired by the emerging Z mythos.

I am not a fan of the Sullivan theory. He may very well be responsible for the CJB murder, but he appears too mentally disorganized to have sustained the Z persona, been responsible for the other murders, and have written all the letters.

As for all the others, I find them even less likely than RS.

Yeah, I never take anything personally, and very little actually bothers me, I feel like I have transcended those states to some degree, but also realize how I sound saying things like that.

Words always mean something, and in this case they are helping me form a solid case, like I said, I overlook a good deal, and it helps to have critical review of my work. Its hard to realize how you are wrong or have made a mistake if nobody points it out. I see conversations and debate as crucial here.
(Honestly, I log into this site for the first 20 minutes of my day when I am supposed to be working, so it’s not something that I take super seriously, but it is something that I am engaged in and have interest in. )

Words always mean something. Our reality is a construct built from language…

I see you point though.

I have considered this as well, mostly because it feels like we are given a bunch of suspects which only fit 2/3rds of the profile and evidence, I keep thinking "there must be someone better"

Or, maybe that was part of what kept zodiac from being caught, maybe zodiac could be a prime suspect and still prevent anybody from being able to conclusively prove it was him, maybe we could investigate him all day and never be able to prove a thing.

…zodiac seemed needy for attention, so it baffles me that there have never been any "death bed confessions" or further ploys to draw great attention to himself. He seems like the type of guy who would eventually take credit, or at least have told somebody that he was the elusive "zodiac killer".

These withheld letters and other withheld evidence is very concerning, why not release it publicly? Are law enforcement agencies trying to protect this guy? Could revealing his identity embarrass or draw criticism to these agencies? What is the deal here?

I would not be surprised either way, if zodiac turns out to be a prime suspect or an unknown individual. …though if we are not given all of the evidence it’s no wonder the case is unsolved.

Avery will probably castigate me, but let me once again promote my POI:
1. He has the initials, RH.
2. He attended Ramona High during Cheri Jo’s freshman year.
3. As did Dennis Highland, RH played football for Ramona High.
4. Cheri Jo lived around the corner from the girl that RH dated, and eventually married.
5.After graduating in 1963, RH enlisted in the Navy reserve, and was on active duty from about August, 1965 until August, 1966. He was stationed in SoCal.
6. Before her marriage to RH in September, 1966, RH’s fiance was a librarian assistant at Riverside Community College.
7. After his marriage, RH and his bride lived in Riverside.
8. In 1970, Rh and his wife were listed in the San Jose, CA telephone directory. RH listed as "student".
9. RH graduates with a degree in Graphic Design (1971?). As of 2018 he is approximately 71 years old, and lives in Oregon.
Avery suggested I establish my own thread. I prefer not to, as I’m 78, and involved in extended family matters. So, every so often I advance my POI in hopes that LE will take note.

That approach won’t work.

What might–if anything?

I have actually briefly looked into this guy, as I was given his name. I couldn’t find much, but it’s definitely interesting. Keep us posted dag.

I’m not surprised you uncovered little on RH,z. Let me serve up odds-and-ends I uncovered. You’ll remember, Cheri Bates lived on Via San Jose. well, one of the addresses RH and his wife lived at in San Jose was Morrill Avenue. Morrill, as you’ll remember, was the State of CA graphologist who linked the Bates case to Zodiac. I wrote RH’s wife (these were pre-computer days) and asked if she might have any info re Bates. RH’s wife did not reply–the first, and only, person I approached in my investigation who stonewalled me. At her 1963 Class Reunion in ’93, she talked extensively of her mother and children but said nary a word re her husband who, according to my computer search, was still alive at age 71. I find her reticence re her husband, quite interesting. After all, her fellow reunionists would have known her husband and, presumably, been interested in him. (Apparently he didn’t attend the Reunion).
Something else I’ll pass on, although it’s hearsay. A female cousin of Cheri Jo’s told me, in a phone chat, that she–the cousin–had gone outside her house one evening and was attacked by a masked man who attempted to strangle her. "He would have killed me," she said. "But, lucky for me, someone came out of the house, and he ran off."
Since RH remained in Riverside until 1968 or so, I suspect he got an AA or AS degree from RCC, and transferred to San Jose State University. But, this is not as important as I once thought. The fact that his fiancee was a librarian assistant at RCC’s library almost certainly means he was familiar with the library anyway, and likely spent time in it, waiting for his fiancee to get off work, or just visiting her.
I wish I had more info, but I destroyed my records after my wife, exasperated by my obsession with Zodiac, threatened to leave me.

Great last line! (Didn’t find anything noteworthy in your post though.)
