BEYOND THE GATES

5/22/2014

 
PictureBryan Hartnell and Dave Slaight
After the Lake Berryessa attack on September 27th 1969, the police report stated that the assailant had mentioned 'Lodge State Prison' in an interview conducted by Sgt John Robertson at the Queen of the Valley Hospital on September 28th 1969. Bryan Hartnell stated that the assailant said "I just got out of...some prison in Montana" and "It's some double name, like 'Fern Lock' or something". The wording was scrutinized, with one accepted avenue for further investigation being the possibility that a connection existed between the hooded attacker and Deer Lodge Prison in Montana. Bryan Hartnell also recalled to Sgt Robertson that the assailant had also mentioned that "he broke out and had to kill a guard getting out". But how much of this is based in fantasy, either from the killer's imagination, or from Bryan Hartnell being prompted towards certain responses by the suggestive nature of the interview, performed only one day after the brutal attack while he was still under heavy sedation? 
​
Deer Lodge Prison is approximately 1,000 miles from Lake Berryessa, and no guards were reported to have been killed in the relative timeline. The suggestion of such was almost certainly designed to instill fear and compliance from his victims. However, there was still a possibility that the killer may have inadvertently let something slip that was relevant to his history, and more importantly the police investigation. On Sunday September 21st 1969, only days before the Lake Berryessa attack, two convicts, Carl Pierce (27) and Ronald Woods (22) made an escape bid by cutting through the wire fence at the rear of Rothe Hall, Deer Lodge Prison, Montana. This newsworthy story may have had an influence on the Zodiac Killer's strategy when he entered into dialogue with Bryan Hartnell, or may well have just been something that he recalled on the fly to divert investigators away from his real identity. However, the ferocity of his attack on Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard clearly indicated that there was no intention to leave any surviving witnesses, so any cover story would be superfluous. It would therefore seem that any of the information he revealed would not have placed him at any risk, other than if he had been disturbed during the commission of the crime or immediately prior to his attack. Was the September 21st 1969 escape from Deer Lodge Prison relevant to his history? If this was the location he really mentioned to Bryan Hartnell, it may prove that what he said, if he had no prepared script or dialogue that evening, may be the closest to the truth we can ever truly attain.

Edward Wayne Edwards was a convicted serial killer who spent time at Old Montana State Prison, where he recalled one prisoner in his autobiography, stating "this man remains my most uncomfortable memory". Edwards stated that this individual believed that anyone he killed would become his slave in the next life. He goes on to say "This demented individual showed an overwhelming interest in science fiction and Egyptian literature". That prisoner, Donald Lee Bujok, was also present during the 1959 Montana Prison siege, known as Jerry's Riot, and was released three days prior to the Lake Herman Road double murder on December 20th 1968. See here. During the riot, prison guards were held hostage, with Jerry Myles, one of the ringleaders warning that any attempt to recapture control of the prison would result in the killing of the hostages, by fire, by hanging or by stabbing.

The inmates already had guns, so death by these four methods may have provided the inspiration for the Zodiac Killer's Halloween card, mailed on October 27th 1970, especially if the Northern California killer had indeed resided within the walls of Old Montana Prison, whether he was present during the riot or thereafter. 
​

John Cameron, a former Great Falls, Montana police sergeant got to know Edward Edwards in Montana Prison and firmly believes that he is the Zodiac Killer. The suggestion of slaves and the afterlife by another prisoner in Edward Wayne Edwards autobiography Metamorphosis of a Criminal, may have been a case of supplanting his thoughts firmly at the door of someone else. Like the Zodiac Killer, it was a game he truly enjoyed playing and may have been his final attempt at mocking the authorities. Many researchers have placed Edward Edwards in Northern California during the timeline of the Zodiac murders of 1968 and 1969. There is little circumstantial evidence tying Edwards to the Zodiac murders, but one thing we do know about Edwards,  is that he was a ruthless killer not to be taken at face value. John Cameron has recently released a book entitled 'It's Me, Edward Wayne Edwards, the Serial Killer You Never Heard of', complete with the Zodiac crossed circle, to leave you in no doubt where his suspicions lie.   

But the story doesn't end there. In the March of 1971 The Akron Beacon Journal ran a story by William Kezziah about two former inmates from Akron, Ohio, who served time at Old Montana Prison, Deer Lodge - who both had their suspicions on the Zodiac Killer's identity. One former prisoner Edward Wayne Edwards has already been discussed, but the second wanted his identity withheld from print for fear of reprisals, however, he did recall the inmate was called Richard. Unfortunately though, he could not recall his surname.
Picture
He stated he first recognized the likeness to the inmate he once knew when he saw the composite sketch of the Zodiac Killer in a story by the Beacon Journal in February 1971, chronicling the Zodiac Killer during and after the callous murder of taxicab driver Paul Stine in Presidio Heights on October 11th 1969. He spent time with Richard at Deer Lodge Prison somewhere around the years 1956 to 1959, remembering that Richard was somewhat a loner, bullied by other inmates. However, he was an auto mechanic and very interested in reading Egyptian history. This was not the first inmate to have leanings towards this particular subject. We cannot verify whether these recollections are accurate, born out of genuine experiences or simply a case of 'attention seeking' - yet they are worth noting.
He goes on to say Richard had killed a police officer (and comparing Ohio to the sentencing leniency of Montana) revealed that in his mind, he would only have likely served 18 years jail time. Old Montana State Prison, he believed, had housed approximately 20,000 prisoners since it creation, so it would not be too difficult to narrow down the search. If his information is accurate, it isn't difficult. You visit Montana State Prison records here, enter Richard into the search box and up comes the list of all prisoners between 1869 and 1974 with the relevant name. Then once the correct years have been identified, there should only be a handful remaining. Then lastly, identify the crime attributed to each person to verify if any murdered a law enforcement officer. It is highly likely that this would have already been cross checked by investigators.
 
Cheri Jo Bates was believed to have been murdered in the late night hours of October 30th 1966 at the Riverside City College library - her body discovered on the following Halloween morning by a caretaker. She had been brutally stabbed and slashed numerous times. Sometime during this period, it was considered that the Zodiac Killer may have written the message found on the inside of a school desktop, known as The Riverside Desktop Poem and discovered by a janitor in late 1966, that ultimately may have significance to the Bates crime. The message ended with the initials RH. Checking these initials in the Montana State Prison records, one can find Richard Haessly, Richard Harris, Richard Hayes, Richard Heavygun, Richard Hill, Richard Happel, Richard Helten, Richard Hodke, Richard Hunt and Richard L. Hendrickson.

​So, if the Zodiac Killer did sign his initials and our man from Akron, Ohio is correct, that the inmate at Montana State Prison is of worthy consideration, then we have ten names of great interest. You can check out most of this list here, which shows the prisoner records, including age, occupation, date incarcerated, length of sentence, vital statistics and mugshot. Only two of the names show slight promise, but I will let you decide for yourselves. But if detective work was this simple, the case would have been solved years ago. This approach is too simplistic and relies heavily on the testimony of a former inmate, whose memories may be deliberately or inadvertently skewed, especially since eyewitness recollections are far from accurate - not only from this case - but quite possibly the composite sketch drawn up from the three eyewitnesses at the Presidio Heights crime scene. Furthermore, we do not know whether the RH at the foot of The Riverside Desktop Poem were intended as initials.


PictureCheri Jo Bates
The question however remains. Is the Montana connection a valid one, or should we have been looking in a totally different direction entirely. Although Fern Lock proves elusive, there is a Fern Valley. The town of Idyllwild is situated in the San Jacinto Mountains in Riverside County, California, a scenic backdrop flanked by the nearby communities of Pine Cove and Fern Valley. It is approximately 58 miles due east from Riverside, CA, notable in Zodiac circles for the tragic murder of  Cheri Jo Bates. The Zodiac Killer had arrived at Lake Berryessa by vehicle, and therefore a route from Deer Lodge Montana, had it occurred in the days recent to his attack, could have taken him through the areas of Twin Falls, Idaho, as well as Elko, Reno, Carson City and Lake Tahoe, Nevada, the area where Donna Ann Lass disappeared some eleven months later. Was it a route he was familiar with and would later revisit?
     
Was the Zodiac Killer an inmate at Deer Lodge Prison, or had some connection to prior to December 20th 1968? Did he return to prison between March 22nd 1971 and January 29th 1974? And are the words he gave up on September 27th 1969 something he never foresaw being repeated and therefore their significance to unveiling the truth may be closer than we think.

BREAK THE SILENCE

5/18/2014

 
October 27th 1970 was a significant date in the Zodiac calendar, when the Halloween Card arrived at the San Francisco Chronicle, seven months after the Modesto abduction of Kathleen Johns and her infant daughter along Highway 132 near Modesto - and just three months after the Zodiac laid claim to this attack in a letter mailed on July 24th 1970. Five months after the mailing of the Halloween Card, which inferred fourteen victims, a further letter, widely referred to as the Los Angeles letter, postmarked Pleasanton, CA, was sent to the Los Angeles Times on March 13th 1971. However, this time the author was claiming 17+ victims. In other words, from October 27th 1970 to March 13th 1971, he was indicating a minimum of three more victims during this time period.

Phyllis O'Brien Carson (32) was a young mother of four children, last seen after a night out at the Francis Truck Stop, French Camp, San Joaquin County, California. French Camp is a small community situated approximately a ten minute drive south of the town of Stockton CA and 15 minutes north of Manteca CA. Since the construction of California State Route 120, Manteca had become a popular choice for workers from the main towns and cities, along with the Bay Area, as rising house prices forced people to search for cheaper alternatives. Interstate 5 and State Route 99 are integral commuter routes through California, and the I-5 is the main highway on the west coast of America, with links to San Diego, Los Angeles and Sacramento. San Francisco lies 80 miles and a one hour twenty minutes drive due west from French Camp.

Phyllis had visited the popular bar, along with her brother and sister, on October 27th 1970 - and later on during the evening had placed a phone call to her home residence to check on her children - stating she was to receive a lift home from a friend. Sadly for Phyllis O'Brien Carson and her family, her journey home was never realized. She had seemingly vanished without a trace, until family members received the heartbreaking news just over three weeks later, on November 21st 1970, that her body had been discovered laying down an embankment near to Yettner Road, only five miles from the family residence. The cause of death and perpetrator remains unknown, but foul play was confirmed, as her body was partially clothed and apparently thrown from a vehicle. Additionally, robbery was believed not to be the motive because her belongings were untouched. Nobody from the bar has ever come forward to this day with any useful information, along with a name of the mystery friend that Phyllis was supposed to have left with that night.   
Melissa Carson, the victim's daughter, only eight years of age at the time of her mother's brutal murder, has campaigned tirelessly to achieve a break in the case, starting a Facebook page in April 2012 - and hopes somebody from the small community of French Camp, past or present can provide the vital clue to help the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office push this case forward, however small. 

There is little in the way of providing a Zodiac Killer connection to this crime, other than vague speculation by online sleuths. The only relevant timeframes and areas of interest appear to be the abduction of Kathleen Johns seven months earlier, the disappearance of Donna Ann Lass from Stateline Nevada on September 6th 1970 and the Los Angeles letter mailed subsequent to the Halloween Card and the murder of Phyllis O'Brien Carson, on March 13th 1971 from Pleasanton, Alameda County, which is situated approximately 40 miles west of Manteca CA and French Camp. 
Picture
.....................Phyllis O'Brien Carson ..................
The Modesto abduction of Kathleen Johns, whether or not this has a Zodiac connection, provides the closest link, in that the perpetrator of this crime chose to subject his victim, to what appeared to be an aimless drive around the countryside of Tracy, CA, before she escaped to a nearby vineyard. Where the abductor was ultimately heading may never be known, but Tracy CA, San Joaquin County is a mere 15 to 20 minute drive from Yettner Road, and only 15 miles due west from Manteca CA. But regardless whether any slight connection may be formed or not, the most important thing is that for Phyllis O'Brien Carson and her family, the evil perpetrator of this cowardly murder is found or identified soon. This is the least that they deserve.

FALSE MEMORIES

5/5/2014

 
Shortly before 10:00 pm on October 11th 1969, at the intersection of Washington and Cherry Streets in Presidio Heights, San Francisco, Paul Stine was executed by a single shot to the head, observed by three teenagers from the window of a nearby house, approximately sixty feet from the crime scene. But what had actually taken place? The teenagers recalled hearing no gunshot, so was the sound of the shot muffled or silenced, or had the crime actually taken place one block earlier at the intersection of Washington and Maple, as the killer had actually referenced in his letter to the San Francisco Chronicle on October 13th 1969.

This was detailed in a previous post The Silent Murder at Presidio Heights, which examined the Zodiac Killer's possible movements after departing the crime scene and heading north along Cherry Street. But here we shall remain at the corner of Washington and Cherry Streets for a while longer and ask what did the eyewitnesses actually see? How accurate is their recollection of the events on that fateful night, bearing in mind this is not an attempt to discredit their testimony and observations, which were given in good faith at the time. Eyewitness testimony has become - particularly in recent years - a highly contentious subject, and it has been shown on countless occasions to be flawed, not only in the way photographs are displayed to the witness or victim and the methodology of police line ups, but also placing such high emphasis on a positive identification in the subsequent trial of any defendant. The premise of 'beyond a reasonable doubt' has seemingly been ignored by many courtrooms, who appear to have traveled down the dangerous route, under a new banner of  'If the witness or victim sounds convincing enough, then we will convict'. This happens time over, despite the fact there is zero supporting evidence to accompany the case.
There are many examples of people being sentenced to life terms, simply on the say so of somebody else, with some examples of this provided at the foot of this article. One of the biggest problems with eyewitness recollection, is the natural ability of the human brain to fill in the gaps of an incomplete story. Over time - and we could be talking hours, days, weeks or even years - the human mind will attempt to reconcile the empty spaces in our memories and complete the story, drawing from that individuals experiences. The actual events that occurred, in many instances, are far removed from our memory of them.
Picture
On September 11th 2001, the twin towers fell in New York after a terrorist attack. Ask yourself one question: while watching the horrific events of that day - one that will forever be etched in our memories - when do you recall the second tower falling? In other words, when you were watching the events unfold on television on September 11th, how long did it take for the second tower to collapse, after the first tower fell? The majority of people will undoubtedly get this wrong, not because it took place in 2001, but because after the event all the information is stored in the brain and organized to make sense. This is called 'reconstructive memory'. If you want to know the answer click here and view after 6 minutes and 10 seconds, or preferably view the entire video to understand this topic in greater detail.
Picture
Paul Stine was murdered late at night, just shy of 10:00 pm. There were many streetlights in the area of the Washington and Cherry intersection, including one close to the teenagers residency, but crucially there wasn't one overlooking the scene of the crime. There are many conflicting opinions on the visibility that night, so let us just say it was not ideal. Furthermore, October 11th 1969 was a new moon, so from the perspective of the night sky it could not have been darker. If we believe this was a crime conceived days in advance, is it possible the Zodiac Killer used the moon phases over San Francisco as a consideration when formulating his escape plan?
The above video deals with a completely different case, but demonstrates how eyewitness testimony and police statements do not necessarily always tell the truth. Often witnesses will state they 'got a good look at the perpetrator', to please the interviewer or to cement their account details. People like to be helpful. But often the crime scene photographs tell a different story. Here are many examples of the crime scene, that despite the arguments concerning the focal length of camera lenses, as opposed to the human eye. They demonstrate a less than ideal visibility, even though many are taken at far closer than sixty feet.

The upshot is, that despite the honesty and integrity of any witness, the likelihood of the composite drawings of the Zodiac Killer compiled from across the street, being an extremely close likeness to the killer, is probably questionable at best. The police sketches were likely to have been of little value in searching for the killer, with a suspect never being eliminated based upon it. There is also a problem regarding the two sketches of October 13th 1969 and October 18th1969, the latter of which shows a slightly older version of the killer. This raises the obvious questions of what was said or shown to the eyewitnesses during this intervening period, that may have changed their interpretation of the killer's facial characteristics? How much did 'reconstructive memory' play a part in the intervening five days, before the revised version was issued? In addition, there is also the problem of artificial lighting, shadows and distance, that all contribute towards the perception of face shape, face size, hair color and height in this case. When the human eye experiences darker conditions, the depth of field is greatly reduced as the pupils of our eye become dilated.
Interview techniques also have come under scrutiny. If you select a group of people to watch a video of a reconstructed or make believe crime, then separate them and ask them the same question in a slightly different manner, you get conflicting results. One set of individuals may be asked the question 'how tall was the killer', which would illicit higher results than 'what height was the killer'. Another example may be 'was the car going fast' or 'was the car going slow'. In other words, a neutral approach is required for the most accurate results, as opposed to the leading questions used commonly in many investigative practices.
 
Scott Fraser sums it up perfectly when he states 'just how accurate are the memories that we know are true, that we believe in'. It certainly raises many questions in the study of human recollection and memory, not only in the Paul Stine case, but evidence pieced together in the Lake Herman Road double murder and the Blue Rock Springs and Lake Berryessa attacks from the surviving victims, eyewitnesses and investigators alike. This leaves us with one question - are the memories they have the true ones, or are they memories they believe to be true.

THE SEARCH FOR DONNA LASS

5/1/2014

 
On the 22nd March 1971, a postcard landed at the offices of the San Francisco Chronicle, that has become widely known as the 'Pines' card. It was this correspondence in particular that caught the eye of police officer Harvey Hines, who after extensive investigative work became utterly convinced Lawrence Kane was the most likely candidate for the five Zodiac murders, committed from December 20th 1968 to October 11th 1969. Although the Zodiac Killer's reign of terror appeared brief, Harvey Hines was convinced that it may have been a lot longer, in that, where Lawrence Kane moved, murder would soon follow. He noticed certain locations and timelines that spiked his interest, placing Lawrence Kane to the forefront of his focus and started nigh on three decades of dedication to unearthing the truth. He provided a intriguing case against his suspect permeated by a solid case history, although it appears that much of it fell on deaf ears as Lawrence Kane was relegated to the fringe of the Zodiac suspect list.   
Picture
It was the hunt for missing nurse Donna Ann Lass that became a near obsession for Harvey Hines, becoming closely allied to the family members of the young 25-year-old as he searched undaunted for a break in the case. He has to be commended for his devotion in and out of police hours, when many others seemed to have lost hope.
The story began when the Zodiac Killer turned into the isolated turnout of Lake Herman Road on December 20th 1968 and appeared to have ended when the murderer exited the taxicab of Paul Stine on October 11th 1969 and disappeared, heading north into the darkness of Cherry Street towards the Presidio. But in fact the story was only just beginning.

After the murder of Paul Stine the killer headed towards the Julius Khan Playground, but whether he actually ended up there, as he alluded to in his October 13th 1969 letter to the San Francisco Chronicle, has been the topic of much debate. Donna Lass worked in the Presidio at the Letterman General Hospital and lived at 4122 Balboa Street, San Francisco. The murderer of Paul Stine, based on the taxicab meter reading, was believed to have flagged down the taxicab in the theater district, near the corner of Mason and Geary Street, and an area situated less than a quarter of a mile from the Lawrence Kane residence at 217 Eddy Street. For all these relevant locations, click here for Google Maps. 

Picture
In 1970 both Donna Lass and Lawrence Kane moved to South Lake Tahoe, where Donna Lass was employed at the Sahara Tahoe Hotel & Casino as a nurse. According to Harvey Hines, Lawrence Kane worked for Alan Dorfman selling Arizona real estate. His office was situated just down the hallway from the area where Donna Lass was stationed. Three months later, everything changed. 

On September 6th 1970 Donna Lass vanished after her shift at the Sahara Tahoe Hotel, and now nearly half a century later we are no nearer to discovering the truth as to her movements that fateful morning. Six and a half months later, the disputed 'Pines' card arrived at the San Francisco Chronicle inferring a link to the Donna Lass disappearance, and the story gained momentum once again. Many Zodiac researchers have questioned the connection between the Donna Lass disappearance and the Zodiac Killer, and indeed, if Lawrence Kane ever worked at the Stateline, Nevada casino.  
But this may be about to change, due to the persistent work of Zodiac enthusiast Alex Lewis (Welsh Chappie), an avid member of the ZodiacKillerSite forum. On Monday April 7th 2014, after multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, he finally received the information he had been searching for. The United States Department of Justice sent him some valuable information regarding his prime suspect Lawrence Kane, including a full and complete arrest sheet, with a lot more besides. (See foot of page for two examples). Alex Lewis, as well as contributing to the popular ZodiacKillerSite forum, has dedicated many hours compiling extensive information on his favorite suspect Lawrence Kane. His comprehensive Wordpress site can be viewed here. These interesting findings have also generated a discussion thread on the ZodiacKillerSite forum; so to contribute your thoughts please visit the topic here.  htttp://www.zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1536.

Harvey Hines remained undeterred, when many others had given up hope - and even though the search for Donna Lass has hit many dead ends in the intervening years, the hope that was held by Harvey Hines still lives on.
