A little Mystery I solved, well partially

I have always kept open the possibility that Zodiac may have moved from the SF Bay area after 1974, so I started looking for cases after that in other parts of the country. I looked primarily for cases in which anonymous letters were received, as I felt that Zodiac, while he may no longer call himself that, might demonstrate the same behavior of writing letters, taunting police, etc.

I actually did not find many cases in which this letter writing happened, and it proved how uncommon it was. I found a few which I have spent time researching including the 1975 Lindy Sue Biechler murder in Lancaster PA, and the 1987 murder of Penn State Student, Dana Bailey. I still continue to research these cases, and have a Zodiac interest in doing so.

However, I found 3 more cases, seemingly unrelated to each other, and in different parts of the country, yet, there was an unmistakable connection between the three. Taunting letters, from somebody claiming to be the killer of missing girls, or claiming to know where their Bodies were.  These 3 cases were from New Hampshire, PA, and Florida. In all 3 cases, young women or girls went missing. In each case, letters were mailed from the same small area in New Hampshire containing similar details, or clues.  There simply was no way that these letters, all mailed from the same small area in NH were not related, especially since they contained very similar clues and details. The question is, were they part of a harmless and cruel prank, or did the writer really have any connection to any of these cases? I contacted police in all 3 cases, and they came to the conclusion that I was indeed correct, and the letters in these 3 cases were likely the work of the same writer, but felt, that they were part of a cruel prank. They may be right, but it was a fascinating connection I think. One of the cases was solved, two remain unsolved. More info-

3 missing girls linked to a single letter writer in NH. Is it part of a cruel hoax? Are there clues to be gained? No matter what the motive, the letter writer’s Identity needs to be determined:
It has become increasingly clear to me that  in the state of New Hampshire, a single source is responsible for mailing anonymous letters in multiple cases of missing girls, in various States
.  Somehow, this COMMON LINK, has escaped detection of law enforcement. These girls are missing in various  parts of the country, and from different years. All of the letters  (that I have found so far) usually tell the police to dig near  bodies of water ,or to  check in the water for the remains, in all these cases, there is NO sign found of the victims. Sometimes , the letter writer claims to be the killer. Also of importance, the letters are sent to Police, Or Members  of  the victims families. The letters seem to all have  been sent from2000-2003. Some are typed, some are handwritten.  We are dealing with a sick twisted person who gets a kick out of dashing  families hopes,  and draining police resources, wasting man hours and money. He is either a liar or a mass serial killer! PLEASE NOTE THE OBVIOUS CONNECTIONS  CONTAINED HERE, THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE! Perhaps the various police agencies can compare notes, letters, handwriting, clues, etc, and come up with a suspect. Here’s the list-

[b]Deborah Ann Quimby [/b]disappeared May 3, 1977 from Townsend,MA.
“In November 2002, police received the first of 2 anonymous letters. The letter prompted police to do a search of Walker Pond near where Quimby was last seen in May of 1977. After a well-publicized sonar scan of the pond proved inconclusive on May 3, 2003, another letter arrived a year to the day  after, in November 2003. This one stated "Take a closer look". The second search yielded some articles of clothing and an old bike, but it is not known yet if these items are connected to Quimby.” “Marshall revealed yesterday that a pair of anonymous and "somewhat specific" letters, sent exactly one year apart, inspired police to search the pond.”
The letters were postmarked in  MANCHESTER,NH & WORCESTER,NH

[b]Alicia Bernice Markovich[/b] -Alicia Bernice Markovich, vanishes from Blairsville, PA on 4/26/87, No sign is found of her. Then, in Oct. 2000,13 years after she vanishes, her father gets an anonymous letter from somebody claiming to be her killer. The writer tells police that they should dig in a spot along the Conemaugh river outside of Blairsville. They dug ,and found nothing. There is a Bedford NH, return address on the letter. Police drive 10 hours to NH to question the person who's name & address is on the return envelope. The person  at the address knows nothing about the case, and has never heard of Blairsville PA. Police rule them out as a suspect, and decide the letter a hoax.
(My personal feeling is that the letter writer may be a relative or neighbor of the person who lived at this address where the police were sent to. I think they would get a kick out of seeing the police there, or would hear about it after the fact from the startled unsuspecting person that lived at that address)

Zodiac Killer 'WANTED' poster

In an effort to spread the word about the Zodiac Killer case, and draw attention to the case clues, I designed this wanted poster. I hope that you will re-post this at various sites that deal with Cold or unsolved cases, and unsolved mysteries. It's never too late to solve a mystery!

I've been ignoring my blog :(

I've been ignoring my blog :(.

Most Bloggers may feel like they are committing a sin by not blogging regularly. I am certainly not a professional or hardcore Blogger, but I understand the importance of keeping up with your blog. I plan to put some new and fresh stuff on here soon. In the meantime, work & research goes on in the Zodiac case. See all the most recent stuff at- www.zodiackillersite.com

We just celebrated a terrible anniversary in the Zodiac case, the 45th Anniversary of Zodiac's attack at Blue Rock Springs. 45 years IS TOO LONG.

Lots of fresh news & Developments on the Zodiac Killer Front!

There have been lots of developments, and fresh news on the Zodiac Killer front! Admittedly, I have been posting on my blog less than frequently. But there are newsworthy things regarding the case.

A less than stellar Book about the Zodiac Killer, 'THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL OF ALL', by Gary Stewart, was written, and despite lots of fanfare, and hype, the book falls short of delivering the goods, and in my opinion, is a dead end. I bought it on I-tunes Audio Book for $30 and wish I could get a refund.

There also has been some advancement in the search for clues regarding Zodiac Killer Suspect, Ross Sullivan.

There is even more going on, and stuff coming down the pike.

Keep up to date on this blog, as well as my twitter feed @Morf13Zks on Twitter, and at my site, www.zodiackillersite.com

NEW BOOK REVIEW- 'The most Dangerous Animal Of All' - NOT!

I have posted it at every turn, and will do it once again here on my blog, do NOT waste your money buying the new Zodiac book, THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL OF ALL by Gary Stewart.


It's another dead end, another story of somebody who wants to share that their Daddy was the Zodiac Killer. It's been done before, and more than once! In each case, the claims were torn apart by experts, and this book is no exception. It's a dead end based on vague speculation, and no solid evidence linking the Suspect, Earl V. Best Jr, to the Zodiac crimes.


Save your money!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't buy this book.
