THE LOST 40 MINUTES

8/21/2013

 
There is no hard and fast rule that connects the methodology of serial killers, particularly in regards to the areas they operate and the locations of murder they ultimately choose. But this does not preclude the investigator from forming an opinion on the killer based upon knowledge of the locality, along with geographic profiling, that has suggested a criminal has a comfort zone within which he operates, near to his home or workplace. Although a buffer zone will still exist in the mind of the killer, in that he does not wipe his feet too close to home. Can we apply anything we know about the four confirmed attack locations of Lake Herman Road, Blue Rock Springs, Lake Berryessa and Presidio Heights, along with the two Zodiac phone calls placed at the corner of Springs Road and Tuolumne and 1231 Main Street, Napa to this so called buffer zone? It has been suggested that an offender will start their crimes close to home before extending outwards, so as not to draw unwanted attention to themselves, but not too far as to increase the risk of being apprehended on returning back to their comfort zone, to wash or stash away any incriminating evidence they may have unwittingly or deliberately removed from the crime scene.     
The first murders of David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen on December 20th 1968, just beyond the outskirts of Vallejo in an isolated turnout on Lake Herman Road, was but a short drive of 15-20 minutes from downtown Vallejo. Pierre Bidou, a police detective from the Benicia Police Department, was one of the first officers on the scene that fateful night. He stated in an interview on True Crime in 2010 that "There are no street lights here, there still isn't, when you come out here at night time and look at this place, it is dark, really dark. There was hardly anybody coming by here, if you had a car coming by every hour that would probably be a lot. And a lot of people didn't know this road, so you had to be somewhat familiar with this area".

When asked whether he thought the Zodiac Killer lived in Vallejo, he responded, "Oh, I think so, he lived in the area, that's for sure, oh yeah, he knew the area".

The second attack, in another secluded area at Blue Rock Springs Park on July 4th 1969, was a four-mile journey northwest of Lake Herman Road, and a 15 minute drive from downtown Vallejo. On this occasion Michael Mageau survived, but unfortunately Darlene Ferrin became the Zodiac Killer's third fatality. This time though, the killer was more brazen, calling police dispatcher Nancy Slover from a phone booth at the gas station at Springs Road and Tuolumne, just a short 10 minute drive from the crime scene. The attack occurred around midnight, with the call logged at 12:40 am. This left 40 minutes of unaccounted time to be explained, leading to the notion of a killer who returned home first to dispose of any incriminating evidence, including his weapon and possibly clothes, before venturing back out with renewed confidence and placing the call. This unexplained time could lend greater weight to the theory that the killer was a local to the area of Vallejo, combined with his apparent knowledge of the Lake Herman Road and Blue Rock Springs Park areas.

The third attack at Lake Berryessa, with a driving time of approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, saw the killer venture further away from the Vallejo area, if indeed he resided there. The male victim, Bryan Hartnell, would again survive, however, the devastating ten knife injuries sustained by Cecelia Shepard would sadly claim her life just two days later at the Queen of the Valley Hospital. The attack took place early evening on September 27th 1969 at around 6:30 pm, with the killer leaving a message at the scene of the crime on the car door of Bryan Hartnell's vehicle. If we take the message written on Bryan Hartnell's Volkswagen Karmann Ghia door with near accuracy, then the 27 mile journey to the payphone at 1231 Main Street, Napa away from Lake Berryessa, would have taken approximately 50 minutes. The phone call was logged at 7:40 pm, leaving a shortfall of 20 minutes. http://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-news/lake-berryessa-north-of-the-crime-scene-pt2. 
Napa County is a direct route between Vallejo and Lake Berryessa, so if the killer lived in, or very close to Vallejo, he would have left himself approximately 25-30 minutes to arrive home, after placing the phone call. 

The Zodiac Killer's last confirmed murder was that of Paul Stine, on October 11th 1969, leading people to consider the possibility the killer may have been a resident of San Francisco or the Presidio Heights area, bearing in mind his first 14 confirmed letters and cards were postmarked San Francisco, starting with the July 31st 1969 mailings and ending with the Halloween Card. But bearing in mind his apparent knowledge of the first two crime scene locations, that a resident of San Francisco would unlikely possess (unless a former resident), it is quite plausible he lived somewhere in the region of Vallejo and mailed his letters en route to his place of work in San Francisco. The third option being, he at one time had lived at both locations. 

The lost 40 minutes after the Blue Rock Springs attack is noteworthy though, in that, did the killer drive home first and remove any incriminating evidence, before driving back to the gas station at Springs Road and Tuolumne - or more logically as Mike Morford suggested on Zodiackillersite forum - walk back to the payphone to place the first phone call, thereby attracting less attention to himself? Quote "I personally think Zodiac lived close to that phonebooth on Springs & Tuolumne, went home, and stashed his gun and car, and walked to the phonebooth. With no car, he was less likely to be noticed". If indeed this was the case - and taking into account the time it took him to change, check for any transference from the crime scene, stash the gun and ready himself before venturing back to the payphone - this may have left him with about 15 minutes surplus traveling time, to walk back and make the phone call, thereby placing the Zodiac Killer's residence extremely close to the corner of Springs Road and Tuolumne (in distance terms, a one mile radius of the payphone).

In the August 4th 1969 Debut of Zodiac letter, the author wrote "The man who told police that my car was brown was a negro about 40-45 rather shabbly dressed. I was in this phone booth having some fun with the Vallejo cop when he was walking by. When I hung the phone up the damn thing began to ring & that drew his attention to me + my car". This seemed to suggest he was still using his vehicle at that point, yet it could have been an employed diversion, so as not to expose the close proximity of his home address - with the apparent over emphasis on the wording "me + my car" used to sell us a story, when he quite simply could have said "When I hung the phone up the damn thing began to ring & that drew his attention to me".
 
This takes into account the applying of logic to the mind of a serial killer, who may in time be found to have been responsible for 37 murders or more over a five-year period. Therefore, you can possibly disregard everything you have just read as sheer madness. 

Incidentally, Arthur Leigh Allen was living within this one mile radius at 32 Fresno Street during the first two confirmed attacks at Lake Herman Road and Blue Rock Springs Park. His residence sits approximately 10 minutes north of the Springs Road and Tuolumne Street intersection.

Another great article here as usual. The Springs & Tuolumne phonebooth thing has always been of interest. As far as Zodiac stating that a Negro said his car was brown, I have a hard time accepting that stuff as fact. First off, how would he know that a black male had given police info about his car being brown? Even if it was true, why would Zodiac volunteer any helpful information to police? I think it was likely total misdirection on his part. I think he wanted to steer the police in the wrong direction. I highly doubt his car was brown and that a black male had seen him. If it was ture about the black male seeing him, police could find that guy and have him give info about Z that might get him caught.

Mike Morford, yes, i also think that i have thought about that thing, and i think that i can come with some other conclusion on it, when i do not think, that he would try to draw people in the wrong direction,

in the Things he wrote, at anytime at all, and i therefore think that the reason, that he wrote that, could also be, because of a rasistic statment,

that he said about a man he saw, that had seen him that he then took care of, by his way to do that, and that, that were the reason to, that he wrote that the black man told to the police, that his car is brown, and when he then also wrote, that the man is looking slobby,

that it then were because that he were also a criminal, that attacked the zodiac, where it were the zodiac, that then killed him, so that the black man, could not be a too dangours vitness to him, without telling it, in a directly way, when i think that his look at black people is like, that he do not see them as humans then, yes.

Great timeline and article. To me it just adds more proof that Allen was the Zodiac. Serial killers like Green River operate in an familiar area and stick to similar MO's. Short of a confession, all evidence points to Allen. Compared to the other suspects Allen offers a lot more circumstantial evidence. I can write with both hands. I found some interesting points when i copied the Allen letters and/or Z's letters in relation to writing with both hands. The right hand has a propensity to pull across and down versus the left tends to push to the right. The handwriting of the Zodiac (Stine letter) and handwriting from Allen have many patterns that are similar. I believe Allen used both hands to write the Zodiac letters and/or changed hands during words and letters to confused investigators. It was typical of his personality to joke around (spell words wrong on purpose,etc) which is the same pattern on Zodiac letters. The similarities are very subtle. The way Allens starts his letters are very similar to the Zodiac clean, precise and clear sentences. But just like Allens writings, the Zodiacs tend to become more sloppy, sentences change angles, spelling,etc. as the paragraph goes on. Again, same pattern from same person. Just like the letters, both Allen and Z's letters change often (IE:a,e,i,o,u) which is a pattern in itself. The one letter that stands out with Allen and Z is the letter ' i '. Both Allen and Z's letters have an 'i' with the dot that moves to the right. Is so consistent its almost like a signature. Sometimes the dot is right above or to the left but you will see the dot to the right often. Again illustrating his intentional deception with writing. To me the writing style is so similar it screams out the same person. Its not just the letters, its the ebb and flow of the writers style that is similar. Allen's and Z's 'E's' change often and sometimes alternates to a cursive style. 'O's' are interesting because they are tight a small most of the time but again just like Allens writing the 'O's sometimes are written with both hands at different times thus producing a different style. When i write the same letters with both hands I see the same pattern changes and can tell which letter was written by which hand. Its not a far stretch to someone whom is deceptive to mix everything up with their writing style to avoid a pattern. That style of deception is a pattern in itself. The more i review every letter the more similar patterns i find. The one thing I cannot find in any of my Zodiac research is where and what was Allen doing everyday from 9.27.69 to 10.11 because to write a cipher takes time. Was he working a 9-5 job, what do the police reports say to his whereabouts everyday during that time frame. Im curious because Allen did implicate himself before with timelines so its curious what investigators gathered also.

Hand writing experts will tell you that even if a person switches hands to write with you CANNOT change the characteristics of your handwriting, because they are stored psychologically. UNLESS, perhaps, if that person has a real multiple personality disorder. So... changing hands wouldn't make writing appear to come from 2 different people, just make it look sloppier.

I have thought about the thing, that when he sended the exorcist letter, directly to Paul Averly, where i think that there stood the sentence, "from your secret pal", that he then mentionet, that Paul Averly had a connection to him, or that it were him, that were sending a letter to him self, ofcourse, if he wanted to make it look like, that it could not be Paul Averly, through making him looking like a victime in that way then, yes.

I think it is totally plausible that Z spent the lost 20 minutes going home to change clothes. I do have an alternative, though, that I think is very possible: he spent that 20 minutes reliving the sexual thrill he had just experienced in his crime. That is, I think he may have been masturbating. I know that is really gross, but given the intensity of feelings the kills would have brought about in him, I think Z very likely spent the time enjoying the high.

Richard
4/21/2015 06:17:54 am

I have amended this timeline in later articles, because the crime was just before or on midnight and the phone call was 12.40 am, meaning there is actually 40 minutes available to the killer. The 10 minute traveling distance cannot be strictly taken from the 40 minutes to give us a 'lost 30 minutes', because that is assuming there was a wasted 10 minutes. Whether he lived in Benicia or Vallejo, he had 40 minutes to get home, do whatever he did, as you say, and return to the payphone, but of course your theory still applies, but now the Zodiac Killer has more time to do it.

Great article. I've always wondered why the Zodiac chose that payphone on Springs Road and Tuolumne. I am certain the Zodiac killer passed more payphones (at least one) on his way back home. But for some reason he chose that one. Did he live nearby and this was the nearest payphone to his house? Do we know who was the carrier of the phone booth (Pacific Bell?)? If we find the carrier maybe they have an old map showing where they had their phone booths in the area. Then we would know for certain if this was the first phone booth the Zodiac killer came across or not. Just a thought.

Great site...just becoming interested in this subject again after having seen the movie. Lived in Northern Cal during the late 70's. One thing I think is of particular interest when you map out his mom's house and the sites is how accessible everything was eventually from highway 80 which was a HALF MILE from his house! Lake Berryesa, Modesto, SF, Stateline....all could be reached in the minimum time possible by living just off of Highway 80. I'm confused on the restaurant where Darlene worked as I heard there were two IHOPs but also that there may not even been an IHOP then, that it was a Terry's Waffles. Can someone clarify the exact address of the restaurant she worked at so I can map it? Thx.

Richard
7/14/2015 08:26:09 am

Darlene Ferrin worked at the International House of Pancakes on Tessessee Street in Vallejo. It was 1/10th mile from 32 Fresno St. Do not know the exact address but one tenth of a mile is obviously close by. Talking of Highway 80.

Richard, wow! Thanks so much! Google street view shows an A-frame Mexican restaurant at that location now. Looks like a building from that era though, possibly. And the link to your other page (sorry, have not exhaustively read over your whole site but will now do so) on the geographic study was fascinating! Are there any annual get togethers of amateur Zodiac sleuths?

Richard
7/15/2015 03:07:15 pm

Well probably in America with Tom Voigt, he is the man to ask, I know they have meetings from time to time, but over here in England the Zodiac Killer is little known. Most people I talk to have never heard of him. I would love to go to one of these get-togethers, but 4,500 miles is a bit much for a chat.

Is it possible that the police officer RH Richard Hoffman could have done this and that would account for the missing 20 minutes. I believe she knew her attacker and may have named him as Richard. The officer rode in the ambulance with her back into town.

Richard
10/13/2015 01:31:44 pm

In one of my earlier comments I have stated it is actually 40 minutes unaccounted for, basically from approximately 12 to 12.40 am.
There is no evidence to suggest she knew her attacker, there have been family members of Darlene Ferrin that believe she knew her killer, but obviously they were not there, so it is speculation on their part, they have no proof and the police are not convinced. Darlene Ferrin was supposed to have mentioned the name Richard to Michael Mageau, as you have probably seen in the 'This is the Zodiac Speaking' documentary, but Michael Mageau suffered badly that night and as you see in the documentary his details vary wildly, such as the description of the assailants car, to the time he lay injured on the ground, among other things, so the Richard reference is debatable at best. But could Richard Hoffman be the Zodiac Killer, extremely unlikely, just responding to a crime as a police officer and being near the scene is not reasonable grounds to tie him to the murder without tangible evidence and if Mageau had got a reasonable view of the suspect, which I doubt he did, Hoffman may have been fingered, which he wasn't. It's a bit like calling Donald Harden the Zodiac Killer because he solved the 408 cipher. If Zodiac left the crime scene in a car that looked like Darlene's with a 9mm Luger, he certainly returned quickly with a different vehicle in double quick time. The RH part is also used to tie Richard Hoffman to the desktop poem, but like anything, you can find anything if you look hard enough. God knows I've done enough of it myself. It's a good job Zodiac didn't write the letters RH on the car door at Lake Berryessa, otherwise we would be calling him Robin Hood.

Richard, what is your take on the "multiple" killer theory? It seems that the early letters written by the Zodiac killer are different in style and intellect to the ones written after Paul Stine murder (it also seems that the handwritings were different). Whereas the first letters were more factual (before the letters with the Stine evidence), the latter letters are different in style and in personality (as if a highly intellectual person would have written those letters). Could it be that the killer of Paul Stine is a copycat killer who tried to take the whole thing to a new level? Not only the style of writing but also the general way the murder was conducted is completely different. The previous murders were conducted outside SF in near proximity. There were phone calls after the killings. In case of Paul Stine, the killer seem to have had only one goal – to send a letter with the evidence (which was done right after the murder; with the other murders, in contrast, there was long time span between the murders and when the letters were sent. And the evidence for these earlier murders seem to point to ALA (and the evidence for the latter letters were speaking against ALA).
Particularly, ALAs confession that he had bloody knives (“chicken story”) in his car at that day, and he told people he wanted to go to Lake Berryessa at that day.
The murders at Lake Berryessa were also suited to disguise a potential personal motif of the earlier murders (it was claimed that ALA had feelings for the murdered waitress at the restaurant which he regularly visited)
The early letters revolved around Christmass – ALA was given the Zodiac watch as a Christmas present.
The early letters had a real cypher, so the original Zodiac had some experience in cryptography; I believe there was no meaning in the latter cyphers (which might suggest that the letter writer had no clue about cyphers and was more or less trying to get the attention and fool the public).
ALA not being the killer of Paul Stine would also explain that his palm prints and DNA did not match. And the whole thing after the Paul Stine murder was revolving around SF (the place where arguably the killer of Stine was living at that time; why should a killer from SF drive to the countryside and do all the killings? The geographical distance would be too big; it would have been too “intentional”)
ALA had also similarities with the person identified by the victims at Lake Berryessa (his size, hair, even the picture of the suspect which is again completely different to the one reported by the eye witnesses of the Stine case; and his male victim reported to have found his voice similar to the Zodiac; it is unlikely that these are the same persons given weight and hair color, etc.).
ALA told his phantasies to two independent witnesses (one of whom was Don Cheney); so we have two independent sources that were pointing to him wanting to kill couples (and also descriptions how he would proceed which turned reality). So even if D. Cheny lied, there was someone else with a similar story.
So at the end, ALA might have been right in saying that he is not the Zodiac killer (or at least not the killer of Paul Stine). I have looked at all other suspects. Ross Sullivan might be the only potential one. But also this Gaikowski story seems to be complete nonsense….. GYKE? Come on…

However, all this is just speculation……

I have done several articles based around a possible two killer theory, but based on certain features unresolved about the crime scenes and the events before and after them. I certainly don't believe the three, four or team Zodiac theories simply because nothing about the crimes or letters requires more than two perpetrators. Since Arthur Leigh Allen was effectively ruled out by partial DNA, it is only then that Arthur Leigh Allen advocates have pushed for a potential second perpetrator to keep him in the frame. This to me is a perfect example of a revisionist theory, concocting new ideas to keep a long held and coveted suspect in the frame. Had these theories been pushed prior to the DNA, they might have been worth considering. For me anyway, nothing connects Arthur Leigh Allen as Zodiac, from palm prints, fingerprints, handwriting, DNA, description etc. There may have been two killers/perpetrators, but Allen for me cannot be forensically connected to either the letters or murders. I certainly don't buy Don Cheney's ever evolving stories, or for that matter the original one. If he was telling the truth, then either Allen was definitely Zodiac, or somebody who overhead Allen, but personally I don't give any credence to his claims. I wouldn't have considered Allen a suspect pre-DNA, had I been aware of the Zodiac case prior to 2002.
I tend to go for a lone killer, but none of the widely touted suspects. But I don't dismiss 2 perpetrators out of hand- possibly 90-10 or 80-20 for the lone killer. In one article about Presidio Heights, I believe if the three teenagers recollection from their second interview is 100% correct, then there must have been two perps that night, but their recollection must be entirely accurate for that to be the case.
The letters and crimes do differ in time, but this isn't unusual with serial killers as they evolve. I would be more inclined to believe a copycat if everything stayed identical. Many people have suggested the copycat theory for Lake Berryessa and Presidio Heights. My take is, if this was a copycat, then he wasn't doing a very good job.
I personally believe the killer resided in Vallejo and he ventured further afield in his third and fourth crimes because they were on a Saturday (likely a day he didn't work). The 'least effort principle' applied to his Vallejo and Benicia crimes, as they likely were on a working day. These are my ideas on the two killer theory at all four crimes.

Richard, thank you for sharing your qualified opinion. Nevertheless, I do not think the evidence clears Arthur Leigh Allen under the ASSUMPTION that he did not kill Paul Stine.

Remember, that all evidence against Allen being the killer was based on letter that happened after Stine was killed. The DNA material, palm prints, and personal descriptions are based on letters that were sent by the Stine killer. I do not believe in a “multiple killer” type of conspiracy but I have not found any evidence that the cab killer is the same killer as the killer of the victims before (there are many substantial differences in terms of location, way of killing, type of victim, personal descriptions (black/brown hair versus red hair), change in style/intellect of the letters, meaning of ciphers, etc. which simply does not make sense).

Moreover, note that there is substantial heterogeneity even between the letters sent by the Zodiac. Some of the letters were identified as forgeries – if people make forgeries of letters, why should one not go further than that and do a killing (given the massive attention the case has received, it might have awakened a sleeping dog, a mentally ill, subject who saw this as a chance to live their weird fantasies).

In this regard, anyone knew the handwriting of the Zodiac because excerpts of the letters were printed. So anyone could have written the letters. And the writer of the latter letters had an interest in film, but for sure not in ciphers.

The palm print he sent was no accident and it wasn't his. He used that to show the fold lines. IMO
