SØREN KORSGAARD: CBS8 NEWS FOOTAGE AND INTERVIEW

Soren Korsgaard

Despite the limited Zodiac connections to the Ray Davis murder on April 10th 1962, the Domingos and Edwards murders on June 4th 1963 and the Swindle murders on February 5th 1964, each crime cannot entirely be ruled out on this basis. The idea that the Zodiac Killer had previously murdered individuals prior to his Bay Area attacks and outside of the Zodiac umbrella is not a fantastical one. Over the last 51 years there has always been an insatiable desire to connect the Zodiac Killer to crimes beyond the canonical four. The Zodiac Killer's claim of 37 murders by January 29th 1974 has allowed the imagination to run wild, despite little evidence he was responsible for any more than the five he has been credited with (six if you include the Riverside murder of Cheri Jo Bates). What we do know, is that the Ray Davis, Domingos/Edwards and Swindle murders are not a type of attack exclusive to the Zodiac Killer. Neither are three of the attacks we know he was responsible for. Regardless of this fact, the desire to keep digging for new avenues of investigation in the Zodiac Killer story is an admirable one - and shouldn't be quashed.

Recently, Søren Roest Korsgaard, author of America's Jack the Ripper: The Definitive Account of the Zodiac Killer, has released a couple of Youtube videos. The first is his interview with CBS News 8 in San Diego, in respect to the murders of Ray Davis, Robert Domingos & Linda Edwards, and John & Joyce Swindle. In the second video he notes (in his words) that "CBS8 did a fantastic job and went to their archives and dug up a lot of footage which hasn't been shown in more than 50 years". Below are the two Youtube videos he has recently released. Click each image to view.
