Still, I am always pleased to see new material on the Zodiac. You never know when something will inspire a new person into being interested in the case- a person who may someday make just the right contribution to unlock the mysterious secrets of this tragic piece of our modern history.

I myself was dragged unwillingly into the world of the Zodiac by a college friend who was an enthusiastic follower of the case. I remember sitting with him in his room as he related countless stories, facts and theories, night after night; showing me charts, maps, photos, drawings- it seemed like he had all the information there was. I remember being horrified, disgusted and yet fascinated by what he was telling me. Ever since that time I have hungrily devoured every new scrap of information about the Zodiac. I wouldn’t call myself an expert, although I certainly know more about this case than the average person. Neither can I say I have made any sort of contribution to the case, but if my “moral” support for that college friend- who is now a recognized expert on the Zodiac case- did anything to encourage him in his endeavors, then that is enough for me. I have lost touch with him over the last few years, but I know he is out there tracking down clues.

Thanks for the website. It’s rational, which is the highest complement I can pay it.

This is indeed true, a sad fact that hampers any serious investigators of any aspects of this unusual and compelling case.

I’ve spent the last two years writing and researching a lengthy feature story about the decades-long Gareth Penn/Michael O’Hare saga.
The two subjects themselves are easily the most difficult people I’ve ever interviewed as a professional science journalist.

All the crack-pottery and buffoonery surrounding the Zodiac case has made this difficult task all the more trying.

Good luck on your efforts to turn the dialogue around.
