Police suspect that The Zodiac, the Infamous Bay Area Killer, recently attempted to stage a comeback by Donning the Hood once more to terrorize the Resident's of San Francisco. Mr and Mrs Chuck Irons were finishing a round of golf and Teeing off on the 18th Hole when they were approached by a Hooded man on A Mobility Scooter, brandishing A Weapon. The Fiend ordered the couple, both in their 50's, to lie face down on the grass of the 18th Hole.
TRAUMATIZED!
The man then aimed His gun and squeezed the trigger, but nothing happened. He pulled the trigger a second time, and again, no shot came. Mr Irons, seeing His assailant now fumbling around with His weapon asked the hooded intruder if He needed any help? The suspect refused, saying with cadence: "No" The man then appeared to get frustrated with His weapon of choice and slammed it against the arm rest of His scooter, causing a shot to accidentally discharge. Luckily, Mr Irons recalled, the bullet missed both He and His Wife, and was found by Crime Scene Officers buried in the Sand Trap some 100 meters away.
The unexpected shot had caused the weapon to unexpectedly recoil and it sprang backward, straight into the hood of their would be attacker knocking His horn rimmed glasses off the hoods exterior, which police later found. Mrs Irons let out a scream as the shot rang out, followed by two to three seconds of silence. Then, the couple said, an audible groaning sound came from beneath the sinister Hood. Their assailant, now blind and Injured, abandoned the attempt and Mr Iron's said "He just reversed, turned His mobility scooter around, and left."
The Couple, still traumatized, sat down with Sun City Police Dpt. Sketch Artist to compile a Composite Drawing of their attacker. (Seen above)
The following day, a potential witness came forward to say He may have observed the Offender as He drove away from the scene. Richard Marshall, 72, stated that as He was approaching the Golf Course Parking Lot, He observed an Individual emerge from the direction of the 18th Hole. Mr Marshall stated that at first glance He believed the Man to have been driving a Golf Buggy, but quickly realized it was actually a scooter. He last saw the suspect heading heading West toward the exit gates. Marshall stated He had got a good look at the suspect and described Him as: A White Male. Between 80 - 100 years of age, White Hair and a Distinctive Black Eye. Mr Marshall said the Man was driving a brown (Possibly Dark Red) Late Model Mobility Scooter that estimated to have been going between 3 - 5 MPH as the man left the area. Police said that this Vehicle description matches the One the suspect was driving. Mr Marshall told The Chronicle, "Now I know who this person was, I feel lucky to be alive!"
Sun City Police Detective Lawrence Kane is investigating the possibility that Zodiac has made a comeback. Detective Kane was asked if He believes Zodiac is still alive, Kane replied "Yes, Absolutely!" Asked should the Public be concerned about the Zodiac and whether He is still a threat today, Det. Kane said: "Errr, well..I Don't know.. I suppose it depends on how fast His scooter will go."
