DRAWING ZODIAC TO MODESTO

2/14/2020

 
Picture
Joe Stine, brother of victim Paul Stine, who was murdered in Presidio Heights on October 11th 1969 by the Zodiac Killer, issued a challenge from Modesto on a KPIX news report. He was asked on October 22nd 1969 "What is the feeling among them (law enforcement) and people here in the city that you may be drawing the Zodiac here unnecessarily". Joe Stine replied "I haven't even considered these people on this, I am very selfish on this". Joe Stine lived and worked in Modesto as a mechanic..

The Zodiac Killer had struck in the Bay Area four times, so what was the likelihood he would now bypass this area and other closer cities and make the 150 mile round trip to Modesto from Vallejo (assuming he lived there or close by). This was the first time the Zodiac Killer was publicly challenged by a murder victim's famiy member, drawing ire from investigators and some people in Modesto towards Joe Stine for effectively enticing the killer into their midst - and we know how Zodiac rose to being challenged or questioned in the newspapers. If we believe the account of Kathleen Johns, the next time the Zodiac would resurface would be in Modesto exactly 5 months later. If this abduction was the work of the Bay Area murderer, was this simply a coincidence or had the Zodiac Killer chosen Modesto deliberately to add to the frustrations of law enforcement and bring condemnation upon the brother of Paul Stine?

If the Zodiac Killer lived in the Bay Area, would he really travel this distance late at night solely for the purpose of disabling a woman's vehicle and taking her on a trip around Tracy for upwards of two hours, unless it was important to strike fear into the people of Modesto in a wilful and deliberate choice on his part? After the challenge by Joe Stine on October 22nd 1969, two communications would arrive at the San Francisco Chronicle. The first contained the hidden message of Paradice and Slaves, along with
By Gun, By Rope, By Knife and By Fire clockwise in each quadrant, effectively mimicking the Halloween card that would arrive nearly one year later. The second correspondence opened with the words "This is the Zodiac speaking up to the end of Oct I have killed 7 people. I have grown rather angry with the police for their telling lies about me. So I shall change the way the collecting of slaves. I shall no longer announce to anyone. When I committ my murders, they shall look like routine robberies, killings of anger, + a few fake accidents, etc".

The Zodiac Killer had already completed his attacks using a gun, rope and knife in that order, so what were the odds that his next attack after the challenge by Joe Stine would be in Modesto, use fire as part of the crime and attempt to imitate a fake accident, thereby changing his way of collecting slaves. The answer may have come five months later on March 22nd 1970, when the abductor of Kathleen Johns took her into nearby Tracy, but inexplicably headed back towards Modesto before she escaped into a field along Highway 132. Then for some unexplained reason decided to set fire to her vehicle, even though there seemed no purpose in doing so. If the Zodiac Killer had deposited any fingerprints on her vehicle by "snapping off the lights, and pocketing the keys" as Robert Graysmith claimed in his book, then it was a far easier task to just wipe down the couple of places he touched. Setting fire to her vehicle by the side of Highway 132 to extinguish fingerprints was totally unnecessary, unless of course, the Zodiac Killer wanted to satisfy the "by fire" element in his agenda.

Picture
Was the Zodiac Killer's choice of disabling the wheel of Kathleen Johns vehicle and subsequent abduction, based somewhat on the article above, making the deliberate choice of taking her on a two-hour ride of terror in order to bring condemnation back onto Joe Stine for the challenge he laid down in the media. It would also have had the added "noze rubed in your booboos" effect for law enforcement, who were initially upset and perplexed by the actions of Joe Stine.  

Did the Zodiac Killer pick up the trail of Kathleen Johns in Modesto as she passed near the area where Joe Stine worked at the Richfield Service Station at 706 Sutter Avenue? Her journey along Highway 99, before turning west onto Highway 132, would have taken her only 4,750 feet from the Richfield Service Station. If this were the case, then we have the challenge laid down by Joe Stine in Modesto, followed by two communications that included "by fire" and "fake accidents", with the Zodiac Killer turning up in Modesto within one mile of the Richfield Service Station and subsequently disabling Kathleen Johns vehicle before setting it on fire. Does such a departure from his previous crimes pour doubt on this as a Zodiac attack, or is the Modesto connection reason enough to forge a viable fifth attack into the hands of the Bay Area murderer?

April 19, 1970 a beautiful, young girl was found hanging from a tree on Mt. Tamalpais [Pat Tan].

6 months later Zodiac said "By rope" in his 10/27/70 Halloween card, another letter he writes of hanging his slaves.

I think there are more than the five attributed to Zodiac. Richard - these other are starting to add up.

Investigation suggests she went there alone. No mention of other shoe prints observed, no evidence of foul play on the autopsy. I do not really understand why there should be so many band-aids on her! Perhaps she had walked into some prickly bushes and put those on herself, which would seem very odd for someone who is considering suicide. But maybe they had been on her for two days or more? Apart from the band-aids this seems like a fairly "routine" suicide to me. I've had the unfortunate experience of knowing young people who have committed suicide, and in one case the girl had deliberately driven her car to a very remote location in order to carry out the act upon herself. She had also neatly packed up her belongings as if she was "going away". Pat Tan had packed up all of her worldly possessions and put them in a locker and taken the key with her. Once again, that is not really unusual in a suicide. Quiet girl who rarely displayed any emotions, her grandmother passed just two weeks earlier. There is witness testimony of her being depressed and lacking any zest for life and also using illicit drugs. All points to a suicide to me. Of course Zodiac can take credit for any number of these kinds of deaths simply because of a single line in a letter about making his murders look like routine things from now on. That was probably nothing more than idle boasting on his part. He was not a Moriarty style criminal mastermind.

BB

The knot used was a tell tale sign of it not being suicide. Also, the leaves tangled in her hair may be suggestive of a man hoisting her up after first strangling her. My guess is he wanted to give the blue meanies some busy work. Because this is yet another one that is unsolvable. Or maybe it is, just your garden variety suicide.

Roger
2/15/2020 06:32:41 pm

The knot doesn't tell us anything, mainly because we have no information about the manner of knotting that was used by the Zodiac at Lake Berryessa. And for all we know, Pat Tan may have researched all of this rope and knot business beforehand (something that suicide victims often do!). As for the leaves and twigs in her hair, she could have got those simply by walking through the brush. This is steep country covered by dense brush. She had evidently walked a long way to get to that spot. I agree, some things seem a bit odd about it, but there is nothing that cannot be explained.

The fact that she left her belongings in a Greyhound bus locker kind of suggests she may have caught a bus up the Panoramic Hwy to get to Bootjack Campground.

The only potentially suspicious thing for me is that her purse was missing.

The Zodiac Manson connection site seeks to pull together some evidence to point to it being a Zodiac crime. It finds a problem with her having bandaids, and claims the killer must have put them there. So, he was intending to kill her but wanted to make sure she did not get a nasty infected wound or abrasion along the way? That makes sense, not.

In another paragraph the website author points to the fact that she had her toiletries bag with her. Instead of putting the two things together logically, by suggesting she must have applied the bandaids to herself from her toiletries bag, the author seeks to separate the two things entirely. He claims that both were suspicious in the absence of her handbag. The reality may be that she had spent the last of her money to buy a bus ticket to get as far from civilization as she could get. Bootjack Camp is about midway along the highway through the park. Perhaps she was actually stone broke and had simply thrown her purse away in a bin because it was no longer of any use to her. Perhaps money was a part of the civilized modern world that she intended to leave behind forever, so she had thrown away her purse knowing that where was heading she would no longer require any money. She may have been in two minds about doing herself in at first, perhaps hoping the peace and tranquility of nature would change her mind, as is often the case with suicides. So she puts bandaids on her wounds at an earlier time, then kills herself later. Suicidal people really do behave in these kinds of seemingly contradictory ways at times. I see her as a sad girl who desperately needed psychological help, and the signs had been showing for a while when we look at the witness statements.

Roger
2/15/2020 06:44:52 pm

Oh and the other perhaps suspicious thing is the use of an electric cord accompanying the rope, as if to give it extra strength. I find this potentially interesting in light of my earlier comments about a possible Marylou Jenkins, Janett Christman connection. The Missouri killer had a unique obsession with using electric cords to strangle his victims. Could, by adding this to his repertoire "by rope", that he was hinting at a connection to his true identity? All food for thought and speculation. Still I think this was a tragic suicide, and I am sure Pat Tan could have researched all of this beforehand, as she may have feared her rope was not strong enough and could break, leaving her alive but incapacitated in the middle of nowhere.

I think in the end we can agree that it is not provable one way or the other. But, that it is still a possibility. One that I'm thinking has around a 10% possibility of being linked. We only disagree on that percentage number. I think yours is probably lower than mine. I take it yours is down around a 1 or 2% chance? In the end - the case needs to go in the undetermined pile.

Roger
2/17/2020 03:02:31 pm

BB, I agree it would have been extremely remiss of the police if they had simply presumed this was a suicide, and failed to test the items in the locker, her belongings, and the electric cord for stray hairs or fingerprints. The fact they do not mention this in the reports is disturbing. A good cop should never just presume anything, but in this case it appears that is exactly what they have done!

I recall when my house got broken into many years ago, the cop was so sure the culprits had been wearing gloves that they saw no point in checking for fingerprints. It was only when I insisted that they sent another cop who checked for prints. And guess what, he found the perps prints were just about everywhere around the door and walls where he had broken in!

Roger
2/14/2020 10:29:48 pm

Well thought out Richard. Very much a possible scenario!

Roger
2/14/2020 11:16:24 pm

It was an unfortunate stunt, probably brought on by grief, and could have easily backfired in so many horrible ways. And in fact it may indeed have backfired, when we consider Kathleen John's abduction. I remember reading a newspaper report, maybe true, maybe not (but probably true), of a man who loudly claimed at a public meeting many years ago that he wished the coward - who we now know to be GSK - would show up at his own house so he could give him a taste of his own medicine. Well as it turns out, the GSK was a cop at the time and he was in the crowd and overhead the man. The man's family became one of the many victims of the GSK. It pays to keep your mouth shut when dealing with these kinds of psychopaths. Handing them a verbal or written invitation to visit is probably not very wise.

Richard
2/15/2020 01:20:08 am

That is a good comparison regarding direct action on behalf of the killer. In the case the "Zodiac" abduction at Modesto (if him), a more subtle indirect attack on Joe Stine/police would have occurred. I reiterate, if Zodiac, the challenge from Modesto and then Zodiac turning up in Modesto would be hard to dismiss. One alternative however, a person claiming to be a victim in Modesto, knowing of the media coverage of Joe Stine in Modesto, would carry more weight if you were attempting to interject yourself into the Zodiac story.
If the Zodiac Killer had wanted to kill Joe Stine it wouldn't have been that difficult 5 months after the challenge, because you cannot be on your guard 24/7, especially when you cycle to work every day from your mother's house. If Zodiac really wanted Joe dead, he would be. If he did abduct Johns, then his initial intention may have been murder, but the very young child Jennifer and her being pregnant may have saved her - even Zodiac probably had boundaries he wouldn't cross. I always think the disabling of Johns vehicle was totally unnecessary - he could have easily just stuck a gun in her face and forced her into his vehicle by the roadside - unless of course the disabling of her vehicle was true to the claim he was now trying to make the murders seem like accidents. It's a difficult crime to evaluate because so much points away from Zodiac, albeit the Modesto/Joe Stine connection is tantalizing.

Roger
2/15/2020 01:37:58 am

I'm not sure what the story could be Richard. It is hard to fathom the mind of such a person. Perhaps his intention was to taunt. He taunted Johns like a cat playing with the proverbial mouse. He taunted the Lake Berryessa couple with a bogus story about being an escaped convict from somewhere and demanding car keys which he really was not even interested in. He had "fun" showing Bryan his gun when he questioned if the gun was even loaded or not. Clearly he could have just walked up to both of them and shot them. I would contend it was all part of "getting his rocks off" - a cheap thrill like foreplay leading up to a climax. Of course with Johns it turned out to be more of an anti-climax and he seemed to have lost interest in her by the time she escaped. Still as a final act of bravado he returned to her car to set fire to it, if only to conceal any greasy paw prints he may have inadvertently left behind. And maybe by not killing Paul Avery or Joe Stine, he preferred to taunt the wider community and the police on his own terms. He was perhaps telling them he could get to them any time he wanted to. Perhaps like Hitler, instead of turning his intention on England he was mentally sidetracked by a "bigger picture" of megalomania. "England could wait" until he was finished with all these other bothersome people on his "little list" who he imagined he could take care of first. Who knows, maybe the Zodiac did stalk these people to some degree, but even he had to work and attend to other affairs in his life at some time, and a good opportunity simply did not arise for him. The Zodiac did seem to be a largely "recreational" (weekend and holidays) serial killer.

Paul Stine's body was taken to Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, where he was cremated.
The same place that Anton LaVey was cremated.
Joe Stine passed away at the age of 46 in August 1981.
And, according to online community Kathleen Johns may also have been a member of The Church of Satan?
Jan. 1 was the birthday of Cecilia Shepard, and Gareth Penn.
It's also the day Eric Zelms died. Among other things.
Such as The People's Democracy March which was from January 1st 1969 to January 4th 1969.
Belfast to Derry. Articles from which show Richard Gaikowski was out of the country on these dates.

Although probably largely forgotten information , I've just found out about '' two '' Robert Hunters as possible Zodiac POI's .

Robert C Hunter , poet and musician associated with the Grateful Dead , was a sometime resident of Palo Alto , and lived out his remaining years in San Rafael , passing away just 5 months ago .

Robert E Hunter Jr. was a wealthy businessman , who at one time , resided on Washington Street , close to Maple Street , in the Presidio Heights part of SF .

The radio social commentator , Mae Brussell , seems to have been the person that forwarded the possibility of the Zodiac having a Christian name '' Robert '' .

A further two Roberts were Robert Linkletter , son of Hollywood entertainer , Art Linkletter . Robert Linkletter died in a car accident , in 1980 . And , Robert H Coon , mystic and writer who , encompassed the philosophy of Christianity and Paganism , with the signs of the Zodiac equating to the 12 days of Christmas .

If the Zodiac was called '' Robert '' , it is unlikely that he was one of the four aforementioned ones .

Middle of nowhere! Then again, the Kathleen John's abduction was nearby - also "the middle of nowhere". If the location is correct, it is interesting that this serial killer seemed equally at home in the city or the country. He was not a "fish out of water" in either environment, although I think he definitely preferred the country. He perhaps found it far easier to "blend in" and had more avenues of escape in a rural setting. He also had more time to engage personally with his victims. In the vicinity of towns he basically just shot people who he found parked in cars, because he knew there could be other people watching and he generally sped away afterwards. At Lake Berryessa and with Kathleen Johns, he had time to indulge in various ruses and role playing. To indulge his fantasies he even wore a stage costume at LB! But in the big city when it came to Paul Stine, he may have indulged in only a short ruse and perhaps even conversed with Stine briefly. After killing him, he only had sufficient time to trophy a piece of short and wipe down his prints. Still, witnesses say he walked off rather calmly, like he was just out for an evening stroll. This was a psychopath who got off on engaging his fantasies.

BB

Bus Bomb coordinates are not perfect because magnetic north changes over time.
Magnetic/compass north vs grid north degrees differ. That difference is either called the
DECLINATION and or the MAGNETIC VARIATION. It varies over time. The North Magnetic Pole moves over time due to magnetic changes inside the Earth. In 1970 it was about 2 degrees less than that of 2020 for California. About 36 miles per year. Its now about 17 for San Fran but back in 1970 it was about 15 degrees of declination to estimate true north.

Did you know BB, William Lester Suff went to Perris High School in Riverside, joined the Air Force, moved to Texas where he was jailed in 1974 for the murder of his 2-year-old daughter. He was paroled in 1984, and then went on to kill at least 12 women in Riverside, beginning in 1989. William Suff would have been 16 years of age in 1966. In three of the murders he removed a breast, reminding us of the Confession letter stating "I shall cut off her female parts and deposit them for the whole city to see". Most of the wounds were centered around the neck and breasts of his victims, with the Confession letter stating "Her breast felt very warm and firm under my hands". The autopsy of Cheri Jo Bates showed that the majority of the wounds were around the neck and breasts. Could the CJB murder have been an inexperienced, yet budding serial killer such as Suff, whose activities were curtailed by joining the Air Force, then moving to Texas.

His crimes were sexual in nature, coupled with extreme anger - something that was extremely evident in the Confession letter. His murders focused on the neck and sexual organs, including the breast. William Suff fits the 12 underscores (with a break between forename and surname) in the Confession letter, and the Bates letter symbols could be a joined W and L for William Lester (bit weak I know). However, the reason I brought this up again is:

[1] Murder of Cheryl Coker

Cheryl Coker was last seen by her husband on October 30, 1990, as she walked to University Avenue in Riverside to engage in prostitution. On November 6, 1990, her nude body was found in a dumpster located in an industrial area of Riverside. The cause of death was ligature strangulation. On her neck was a single thin ligature mark that was so deep in the front that it cut through the skin. Fingernail marks on her neck were consistent with someone trying to grab the ligature. Due to decomposition, the medical examiner could not identify petechial hemorrhage, but the reddish-brown color of the eyes probably indicated hemorrhaging. There was hemorrhage in the soft tissue under the ligature mark, and there were bruises on her forearms and on the backs of her legs. Her right breast had been excised postmortem, and was found approximately 30 feet away from the dumpster.

[2] Susan Sternfeld was last seen on December 19, 1990, at approximately 2:00 p.m., looking to “turn a trick” on University Avenue in Riverside. On December 21, 1990, her nude body was found in an enclosure for a dumpster in an industrial area in Riverside. The cause of death was strangulation. There were hemorrhages in her eyes and eyelids and in the muscles of her neck, abrasions on her neck, and a fracture in her larynx.

[3] Kathleen Milne worked on University Avenue in Riverside. Her sister last saw her on January 18, 1991. Her nude body was found the next day adjacent to a dirt road in the Lake Elsinore area. The cause of death was asphyxiation due to strangulation and obstruction of her airway by a white sock that had been stuffed into her mouth. She had hemorrhages in her eyes, mouth, and neck, and a fracture in her larynx.

[4] Kelly Hammond was last seen on August 15, 1991, working on University Avenue in Riverside. Hammond's nude body was found on August 16, 1991, in an alleyway in an industrial area of the City of Corona. Her body had been posed, with her face down, her right arm under her abdomen, her left arm bent at the elbow with the palm of her hand facing upward, her left leg drawn up into her chest area, and her right leg extended outward. The cause of death was strangulation, with acute opiate intoxication also contributing. She had hemorrhages in her eyes and mouth, lacerations on her forehead, and abrasions on her face.

[5] Catherine McDonald worked on University Avenue in Riverside. Her daughter saw her for the last time on September 12, 1991, when she left their apartment that evening, supposedly to go to the store. On September 13, her nude body was found near a dirt road in a remote location in the Lake Elsinore area. Her body was posed, with her legs spread apart, her feet together, and her arms extended outward from her body.

[6] Delliah Zamora worked on University Avenue in Riverside. Her body was found on October 30, 1991, near a freeway interchange in Riverside County. The cause of death was strangulation. There were hemorrhages in her eyes, eyelids, and neck, and abrasions on her neck, perhaps caused by fingernails. Her larynx was crushed, an injury that requires “an extreme amount of pressure.” PCR testing of DNA from a vaginal swab reflected a match to defendant.

[7] Eleanor Casares worked on University Avenue in Riverside. Her sister last heard from her in the morning on December 23, 1991. At approximately 1:00 p.m., her nude body was found near a dirt road in orange groves. The cause of death was strangulation. There were abrasions on her neck, hemorrhages in her eyes and eyelids, a fractu

There was a stab wound in the middle of her chest, which also would have been fatal. One of her breasts had been excised postmortem, and was found approximately 40 feet from her body.

[8] Carol Miller was last seen on February 6, 1990, on University Avenue in the City of Riverside (Riverside), entering a small blue automobile with a White male. On February 8, 1990, her nude body was discovered in a grapefruit grove in the Highgrove area of Riverside County. The cause of death was five antemortem stab wounds to the chest, three of which penetrated her heart. She also exhibited signs of asphyxia, including hemorrhaging in her eyes, eyelids, lips and gums. The tissue that attaches the upper lip to the gum was torn, a condition that was consistent with being struck in the face and also with struggling while being smothered. There were ligature marks around her wrists.

Seven of the murders were rooted in University Avenue, Riverside, which is less than a mile from the murder site of CJB.
