THE PHILLIPS PETROLEUM MAP KEY

12/26/2013

 
Kevin Robert Brooks has recently released two videos on Youtube, outlining his case for Donald Lee Bujok as the man behind the mask, that we only know as the Zodiac Killer. The first was outlined in the previous article: Thirteen Holes in Time. The second will be described here.

On June 26th 1970, the Zodiac Killer mailed the Button letter to the San Francisco Chronicle, upset that the citizens of San Francisco had not complied with his wishes to wear his Zodiac buttons, claiming he had killed a man in a parked car with a .38 caliber weapon. He also designed a 32 symbol code - the fourth in a series of cryptic messages - of which only the first, the 408 cipher was ever solved. Also accompanying the letter, was a Phillips 66 road map of San Francisco and Vicinity. On this map the Zodiac Killer had emblazoned his crosshairs symbol, centered over the peak of Mount Diablo, along with a brief segment of writing, stating it was to be set to Magnetic North. The Zodiac Killer appeared a master of misdirection and false promises, placing the Bay Area into panic by proclaiming he would target a school bus and "pick off the kiddies as they came bouncing out".  A threat that fortunately never materialized. His threat to use a bomb in several letters, including the Button letter, also appeared to carry little weight other than to continue his campaign of terror using a pen, as opposed to a bullet.    
Picture
Kevin Robert Brooks and his team of investigators believe they have found the real reason behind the Button letter and Phillips 66 Petroleum map of June 26th 1970 - and it is another classic case of Zodiac misdirection. Donald Lee Bujok was born in Roundup, Musselshell County, Montana on July 6th 1936. Kevin Brooks believes the home address of the killer, namely Donald Lee Bujok, is the purpose behind the design of the Button letter and Phillips 66 Petroleum map.

Many serial killers collect trophies from their victims, often storing them for many years. Items were taken following the murder of Paul Stine in Presidio Heights on October 11th 1969 - and apart from the small sections of Paul Stine's shirt mailed to the San Francisco Chronicle on October 13th 1969, November 9th 1969, and attorney Melvin Belli's residence on December 20th 1969, the rest are unaccounted for. The innate desire to reveal one's identity and take credit for the crimes, is often counterbalanced with an equal desire to remain at liberty and feed the compunction to murder. This is the fine line some serial killers appear to tread - and undoubtedly the Zodiac Killer was no different.

Picture
The key to this mystery lies hidden in plain sight. In this instance, the clue lies within the map itself - a 1969 version of the Phillips 66 road map. The Phillips Petroleum Company (1917) was founded in Bartlesville, Oklahoma by brothers Frank and Lee Eldas Phillips, becoming an iconic American brand, the name in part, derived from testing undertaken on US Highway 66 in Oklahoma.

Kevin Robert Brooks takes us to the county seat of Roundup, Musselshell County, Montana where Donald Lee Bujok was born. This area of personal significance is where the Zodiac Killer was directing us all along. All we have to do now, is place the center of the Zodiac crosshairs over the area of Roundup, Musselshell County and follow the arrow placed at the top of the Zodiac crosshairs (set to Mag. N) and see where it takes us.

The two immediate counties above Musselshell County, are Petroleum County (established in 1925) and Phillips County (established in 1915). If we take the crossed circle and superimpose it over the center of Roundup, Montana, the directional north marker points directly to two adjacent counties, that of Petroleum County and Phillips County, thereby giving us the reason behind his choice of map in the first place - and the birth place of America's most elusive serial killer. On the Phillips 66 Petroleum map, the Zodiac Killer added a notation that his design "is to be set to Mag.N" (meaning Magnetic North). In 1970, Magnetic North was approximately 16.5 degrees. If we adjust the crossed circle accordingly by 16.5 degrees clockwise, it becomes even more significant, with the directional marker passing exactly over both county seats of Winnett and Malta, shown on the map above. The county code numbers of Petroleum County and Phillips County are 55 and 11 respectively. These totaled up equal 66, to provide yet another interesting feature regarding the Phillips 66 map. Thanks again to Kevin Robert Brooks. ​

Shame to see people here plugging a book on this page about Donna’s case. Save yourself some money, Donald Bujok was NOT the Zodiac Killer, police have already ruled him out. Shame on you Kevin Brooks.

However, if you are truly interested in Donna’s case and the truth, stop by http://www.zodiackillersite.com You will find some interesting things,one of which is, we just verified that Donna Lass had a relative that lived in Vallejo, which provides a link between her and Vallejo, where Zodiac operated

‘A Cloak of ineptness by’
Kevin Robert Brooks
What is really a shame it is to see a man “plugging a web-site” that truly doesn't understand the psychology of the Zodiac Killer. Donald Lee Bujok was the Zodiac Killer. There are people working with me that know that… He was emotionally stunted by an early life of bullying and alienation; a mere man in a child’s body but very intelligent! As I have said before, Donald Lee Bujok appeared to be slow because of his speech pattern and other medical conditions, however he was very bright. He had stuttered horribly as a child. Zodiac's speech was slow and measured because he thought about what he was going to say before he spoke. In fact, he joined the "Toastmasters" while in Montana State Prison at Deer Lodge where he learned this technique. The police did speak to him in 1971 however they too thought he just wasn't bright enough to be the Zodiac Killer.
if it was ‘the Zodiac’ trolling that September day for victims at Lake Berryessa I believe he wore a wig and changed up his shirt a few times to throw off anyone that might be a witness to what he was about to do.
There are different types of disguises and Donald wore both; physical and mental! You could say he wore 'a cloak of ineptness' when it suited him.... People thought him stupid so why not play upon it? If one took the time to get to know Donald Lee Bujok they would find a tortured soul that was trapped in an awkward persona. Make no mistake about it he was very bright! I believe Robert Graysmith partially deciphered the November 8th 340-character cypher. Remember the part in the cypher Graysmith broke said, “Cops met to talk to me... A killer’s game is pills, pardon… These fools helped me! What I’m saying to you is there are more than one kind of disguise… It doesn’t have to be a physical mask! He played the cops and many others as well…

It's Happening Again...

Postby Michael Butterfield » Sun Dec 25, 2011 9:32 pm

Another amateur sleuth has posted yet another video on YouTube in which he claims to have identified the Zodiac and solved the case. Kevin Robert Brooks names his "suspect" in this video and claims that he has sent his finding to law enforcement agencies. As is so often the case with these amateur sleuths, the video makes NO mention of ANY credible evidence to implicate this "suspect" in the Zodiac crimes. Instead, there is vague mention of "circumstantial evidence," writing, etc. Brooks doesn't believe that his "suspect" was responsible for the Bates murder in Riverside as this individual was reportedly incarcerated at the time. Brooks says that a documentary will be available soon and that the "San Francisco Department of Justice" is currently reviewing his findings. As always, we'll have to wait to get the rest of the story.

LOL! If you only KNEW! Don't worry...you will. This is "finger pointing at some poor guy. It's bringing to light the true identity of the Zodiac Killer, who, btw, was NOT Richard Gaikowski, Ross Sullivan, Arthur Leigh Allen, or any of the other favored "suspects." I can't (yet) reveal what I am privy to, but I CAN tell you what Kevin has come up with will blow people's minds!! Now go ahead, bait me/us with taunting jibes like, "Oh yeah, SUUUURRRE! You guys are all talk! When is this supposed book coming out?" Funny, I've seen NOTHING but speculation from all of the self-acclaimed "experts" whose "suspects" have ZERO reasoning behind their claims.

Michael, thanks for this. I think that I've finally reached my limit with this kind of stuff. No facts, no details, just finger-pointing at some poor guy. I reported this video as abusive on YouTube and wrote an update on the other site that there will be no links to this kind of material, ever. I hate to sound like some kind of fascist on this subject, but this kind of behavior can really hurt others (and their relatives and friends). It could have been dealt with in a much nicer way.

Ok, sorry. I'm off the soapbox. Maybe I just had too much Xmas candy. I hate it when I get this way . . .

Mike

Kevin aka Sean Kevin Robert Brooks aka Sean Cougar Mellencamp has posted some unintentionally funny comments at his YouTube page. From earlier today:

"We are way ahead of anyone else on this case.... We will soon have a web-site as well."

Even older-than-dirt Lyndon Lafferty has had a website up for what...three years?

If Kevin thinks he is "way ahead," it's only because nobody is behind him; they are all in front.

Well you can see what "the experts" think of me... Many theories are scorned at first but they will come around as we have the evidence to prove what we have been saying.

Richard,

You had a question for me concerning the Mt. Diablo code?


Kevin
In the Phillips 66 Map what is the reason Donald Lee Bujok chose Mt Diablo to place the crosshair, other than its significance to meridian lines. Why not Vallejo, or any other landmark?

Yours sincerely
Rich.


Richard,
The map is referring to a bar on Mt Diablo Blvd called the ‘Roundup Saloon’. It is an old mining bar that has been there since 1932. It serves only drinks and chips and I believe it to be a clue…
Also Rich: Phillips County is number 11 county and Petroleum is 55 county; thus the Phillips 66 Petroleum map which is also a clue.
Yours Sincerely!

This is the most comprehensive work I have seen on the Zodiac case! I personally can not wait for the book by Kevin Brooks, I'm confident it will be an exceptional piece of work!

I certainly have to admit , several coincidences seem legitimate. I can't imagine a serial killer driving 1200 miles and mysteriously having a mask and a knife with sheath and rivets in unknown territory killing two strangers . Nah
