Richard Gaikowski (March 14th 1936 - April 30th 2004), was a newspaper journalist and filmmaker, who also became linked to the Zodiac case in respect to several key points, having been brought to the attention of Zodiac investigators by an informant, who to protect his identity went by the codename Goldcatcher and worked with Gaikowski at a Bay Area newspaper,

Morf13 started a forum thread examining the handwriting of Zodiac suspect Richard Gaikowski compared to known Zodiac samples, as well further analysis of letters composed by Richard Gaikowski, while examining his perceived whereabouts in the Zodiac Killer timeline.

Captainfun1 started a popular thread on a person of interest in the Zodiac case, called Barry Jean Wysling. The thread began:

I will start off by telling everyone that I am not a investigator, news reporter, sleuth etc.. When all this started for me I was the sales manager of a boat dealership. I am going to give a summary of how this all started, why I am here, and then, as people have questions, I can get into details. I will refer to Barry Wysling as BW from here on. Also you might get lost at some point unless you have viewed my youtube video "Zodiac Killer interviewed by reporter hidden from public". Also if you have already seen this video, let me point out the following; I am the person asking BW the questions, a channel 10 news reporter was filming.

Earl Van Best Jr

5/15/2014

The latest Zodiac suspect has just been revealed as Earl Van Best Jr, amid a flurry of newspaper and television articles and claimed in a book by Gary Stewart that his father was indeed the infamous Northern California killer. The book has been released by Harper Collins entitled The Most Dangerous Animal of All.

However, police seemed to know little, until the publication hit the bookshelves and we will have to wait on the validity of this latest claim. To purchase this book and decide for yourselves, it can be obtained here.

In what was dubbed 'The Ice Cream Romance', Earl Van Best Jr appeared in court on a KPIX news report from August 31st 1962, charged for the offence of eloping with a minor, Judy Chandler, aged 13. See video.

'Seagull' opened up a discussion thread on this topic on May 12th 2014, containing all the relevant news links from around the internet. If you would like to join the conversation follow this link to the ZodiacKillerNet forum thread. To visit The Most Dangerous Animal of All website click here.

Zodiac Killer Net- Ross Sullivan
On February 22nd 2014 Mike Morford, aka Morf13, reignited a thread from his previous forum, concerning a person of interest in the Zodiac case.
Zodiac Killer Net has in its possession an interesting typed letter from the Riverside City College Library, 4800 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, California, concerning the case of Cheri Jo Bates, savagely murdered on October 30th 1966 outside the said library.
Some of the workers at the RCC had suspicions about Ross Sullivan, based on his character and various circumstantial evidence. Unfortunately for them, their suspect was not apparently held in the same regard by police at the time of Cheri Jo Bates' murder.
The crime has just past its 50th anniversary, with unfortunately little progress in identifying the killer, or indeed, if it is undeniably linked to the Zodiac case at all.
To view this letter in its entirety and follow the discussion on this person of interest, visit ZodiacKillerNet forum.

Forum thread by Morf13 - March 30th 2013

ZKS Interview with Lake Herman Road Witness James Owen
Posted on March 30th 2013, Morf13 initiated a forum thread based on a surviving witness to the Lake Herman Road crime scene. On December 20th 1968 the Zodiac Killer began his murderous campaign that claimed the lives of David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen. Seven months later he sent three coded messages to three Bay Area newspapers to leave the authorities in no doubt they had a new breed of killer on their hands.
One witness that night was James Owen, who drove past the isolated Lake Herman Road turnout, during the relevant time frame.
Morf13 recently contacted James Owen by phone, to pick his brains and draw his recollections of the Zodiac case. The full transcript of that phone call and subsequent discussion can be found at ZodiacKillerNet.
