Richard Gaikowski.
I own it and have read through the entire thing at least 5 times.
Zodiac is the man, he once called from his own crime scene in a payphone and gave the police a tip that he saw the killer, and described him as a middle aged fat man wearing a baseball cap.
The cops stopped that guy on the street while he made a clean getaway. it wasn't until a month later that they realized they'd been had by listening to the aduio tape.
Which Zodiac suspect are you referring to? Because I can name just as many Zodiac suspects as I can name member's of Calzaghe's "tin can club".
Look at his picture and tell me that doesn't match perfectly with every known description of him.
*Gaikowski was born in Watertown, S.D. on March 14, 1936.
*During the late 1960s/early 1970s, Gaikowski was the editor of an anti-police, counterculture newspaper in San Francisco called Good Times.
*As early as January 1969, the Good Times newspaper advocated murdering white suburban youth.
*The Good Times "switchboard" was located only yards from the residence of Zodiac victim Paul Stine on Fell St. in San Francisco.
*Nancy Slover, the police dispatcher who spoke with the Zodiac in July 1969, has identified Gaikowski's voice.
*At the very time the Zodiac wrote two letters to the editor of the Vallejo Times-Herald, Gaikowski's best friend Bob worked as an editor at that very newspaper.
*Gaikowski's nickname, "GYKE," can clearly be seen in Zodiac's three-part cipher.
*Eventual Zodiac victim Darlene Ferrin of Vallejo, Calif. got married on Jan. 1, 1966 and moved to Albany, NY. Gaikowski quickly followed, moving across country from Martinez, Calif. (near Vallejo). Ferrin's husband worked at the Albany Times-Union newspaper; Gaikowski worked at the rival Albany Knickerbocker News.
*On March 13, 1971 the Zodiac sent a letter to the Los Angeles Times. Later that year, Gaikowski was involuntarily committed to the Napa State Hospital after "going berzerk." He was then diagnosed with a mental illness and began treatment at Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco. The Zodiac didn't write again for almost three years.Comment

Probably won't be until tomorrow, if you'll be here.
Nice work Laddie. The police depeartment really bungled the investigations surrounding the murders, so we can never know for sure but I do agree with you that he's at the top of the list, and most likely, the actual killer. The Zodiac chapter in that Encyclopedia is long as hell, it's got a list of all possible suspects.Richard Gaikowski.

You know they suspected Ted Bundy once? And Ted Kaczynski also.Comment

I noticed Dennis Rader AKA BTK killer on the cover of that book. I remember watching a documentary on the killings and investigations a while back and thinking all them years they searched for BTK, not knowing that he was under there noses the whole time sent shivers down my spine.

...almost as cool as having mock police badges sewn onto all of team Pavlik's jackets for the fight!!!! Wow is that just really, really cool! I just wish that Kelly would have worn a cop moustache too. That way, B-Hop might have had flashbacks and knocked his ass out cold like he was back on Broad Street in Philly, circa 1986.... of course seeing Pavlik in a pigstache might have also resulted in B-Hop bugging out, knocking out the ref, stealing his wallet and b-lining for Pacific Avenue...Comment
