THE SHADOW OVER LAKE HERMAN ROAD

10/24/2014

 
On December 20th 1968 a harsh reality was about to dawn, that would forever cast a long shadow over the residents of the Vallejo and Benicia areas - one that would remain to this day, after the brutal murder of two young high school students Betty Lou Jensen and David Faraday on a lonely gravel turnout alongside Lake Herman Road. It was shortly after 11.00 pm on a cold December night in Benicia when the killer struck, that would be the genesis of one of the most comprehensive murder investigations in US history, spearheaded by Detective Sergeant Les Lundblad, stationed in Solano County. 

The murders threw up many theories, but one centered on a motive of jealousy, that possibly two individuals may have been responsible for the slayings. One young man became a person of interest after he and two accomplices were found to have raided and vandalized a local residence five months earlier, and may have become jealous upon hearing of the relationship between Betty Lou Jensen and David Faraday. Early newspaper reports had initially indicated that two sets of ballistics had been found at the crime scene, from .38 and .22 weaponry, which was soon corrected. Friends of the couple were interviewed to search for a motive, in a 'shake the branches' and see what falls out technique, but alibis held strong and no credible suspects landed at their feet.

Sergeant Jack Mulanax, in charge after the Blue Rock Springs attack some 6 months later, believed all four attacks to be the work of the Zodiac Killer - a view not held by Sergeant John Lynch, who also investigated the Zodiac murders and concluded that the Lake Herman Road murders were separate to Blue Rock Springs, Lake Berryessa and Presidio Heights. The Lake Herman Road murders were belatedly attributed to the Zodiac Killer after the arrival of three letters to the Vallejo Times-Herald, San Francisco Examiner and San Francisco Chronicle, postmarked July 31st 1969, along with his 'Debut of Zodiac' letter on August 4th 1969 with the immortal phrase "This is the Zodiac speaking". The Zodiac Killer laid claim to the Blue Rock Springs attack on Darlene Ferrin and Michael Mageau and the earlier murders in a phone call 40 minutes after the attack, and by letter just 27 days after that fateful night. It is only then he corroborates his involvement in the Lake Herman Road murders, seven months earlier. Taking into consideration these may have been his first murders under the Zodiac umbrella, it seems unusual that a man gripped by the spotlight of attention would choose to wait more than half a year before announcing himself to the world, subsequently unleashing a barrage of communications that may have continued into a new century.                
Picture
The question remains why. What reason did he have for the delay in claiming these murders, that he was only too keen to claim at Blue Rock Springs, Lake Berryessa and Presidio Heights? Serial killers rarely jump in at the deep end - they generally have a history of lesser infractions that build up in intensity, before they take the final step into murder. In other words, if the Lake Herman Road murders were committed by the Zodiac Killer, this was a natural progression that he would have developed into.

His letters, cards and ciphers displayed forethought of murder, not just impulse. He had a plan to terrorize authorities to the nth degree, yet in the aftermath of Lake Herman Road he delayed his onslaught for just over seven months. Was this a rational choice of self preservation, or was he content to allow investigators to scrabble around searching into close connections of Betty Lou Jensen and David Faraday due to the close proximity of his first crime to his residence? If these were his first murders, he may have applied greater caution, bearing in mind there may have been witnesses to his make of car and he may have retained possession of the firearm - and the dragnet widening to incorporate a wider field of view, would not have been in his interest. He may have been perfectly happy to watch the investigation follow a path that diverted away from what he knew was about to be realized -that northern California had a serial killer on its hands.

In the last article on this site, the small town of Benicia was earmarked as the likely residence of the Zodiac Killer, taking into consideration the timeline and movements of the killer, particularly after the first two attacks at Lake Herman Road and Blue Rock Springs. Again, we will explore this possibility, based on the mailing dates of his letters. Previously we stated that a serial killer will often begin his murders in a place of familiarity, close to home. The murderer wants to facilitate an escape route with minimal risk, as well as a speedy return to the safety of their residence, but not too close to bring the police to their doorstep, known in geographic profiling terms as a 'buffer zone'. It was noticed that his early crimes, based on a home residence in Benicia, began at Lake Herman Road, only 5 miles from southern Benicia, extending to 9 miles to Blue Rock Springs, 50 miles to Lake Berryessa and finally 40 miles to Presidio Heights - slightly less distance than Lake Berryessa - but as a general rule his crimes were becoming more spread as he gained in confidence.

As the radius of his murders widened, his immediate correspondence after each crime shortened. His first contact on July 31st 1969 was just over 7 months after the Lake Herman Road murders, but only 27 days after Blue Rock Springs. His murder of Paul Stine was the next furthest at 40 miles when he corresponded with the San Francisco Chronicle only 2 days later, when he mailed a swatch of Paul Stine's shirt on October 13th 1969. His third attack at the shores of Lake Berryessa attack, was the furthest from Benicia at 50 miles, where he wasted no time declaring himself the responsible, writing on the car door of Bryan Hartnell's Karmann Ghia just minutes after the attack. In other words, the further he was away from his home residence, the greater his compunction to correspond sooner, what is in effect, the offering of evidence that could be used against him. He possibly felt the risk was greatly reduced in police centering the investigation to letters and crimes with an increased 'buffer zone'.

The need for a significant delay between the Lake Herman Road murders and the August 31st 1969 letters may have  been inherent of a man who knew he was just too close for comfort and the heat had to dissipate. To wittingly pull the investigation of the Lake Herman Road double murder away from the desired route it had taken, may have veered the focus away from family and friends - something the Zodiac Killer was keen to avoid with his residence closer than he would have liked.

Hey Rich, nice piece. Why he waited to claim responsibility is one of many questions often asked when this incident is discussed. I can't think of a logical reason why he would wait 6 months and only after his second attack, would he claim credit for the first. Now if he got pulled over that night or was spotted out there by someone who knew him then this would be more than good reason to keep quiet. Maybe Graysmiths decoding of the 408 is at least partially accurate when he claims that one line of the decoded message reads: "Those fool's shall meet the Killer, Please ask Lundblad."

Lets say for a moment that we are inclined to believe this deciphering effort by R.G is accurate, wouldn't this be more than enough reason for the offender to not brag about the Incident?

This theory, or one similar to it, is the only real explanation i can think of to explain his silence logically. Then again though, applying logic to why Z did or did not do something is hardly likely to get us anywhere, this is, after all, the Zodiac. The Killer who broke all the rules and never could Law Enforcement see any sort of pattern emerging to his kills nor anything else he did. He was a one off, unique serial killer in his own right & I think thats where a lot of the fascination comes into it with people like myself.

Hey Rich another thing I think is overlooked is the whole Drug Motive/Angle. On Dec 20, 1968 a drug raid was carried out literally within minutes of David & Betty being attacked. We know it was straight after the drug bust raid that Betty and David are attacked because Pierre Bidou stated that after he & his partner had confiscated around 1 and a half lbs of Weed, he was just about to pull into the station to book the weed into evidence as the call came over the radio of a double 187 on Lake Herman Rd.

Seven Months later, Blue Rock Springs Park. Mike Mageau & Dee Ferrin are out looking to buy 'Fireworks' and decide the most obvious place to purchase them is a car parking area of a golf club. It's claimed that Dee's brother Leo has admitted that Dee was out looking to score weed and this would explain her & Mike parking in a dark and quiet area and, as Mike acknowledges, flashing the cars headlights to signal someone or something. So the first two Zodiac attacks are both directly and indirectly related to drugs.

Now this is quite controversial I know, but of all writing samples o have seen from suspects etc there is one persons printing that, while i am no expert, looks as close to identical to Z's as can be and that handwriting belongs to one Harold Snook. Now it could just be coincidence, but Hal Snook Now this is quite controversial I know, but of all writing samples o have seen from suspects etc there is one persons printing that, while i am no expert, looks as close to identical to Z's as can be and that handwriting belongs to one Harold Snook. Now it could just be coincidence, but Hal Snook was a narcotics investigator who, his epitah reports, was, "was recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as an expert in narcotics and fingerprint identification."

Also: Hal served in the Army in the enlisted ranks for three years during World War II in New Guinea and the Philippines. He served another three years as an Air Force officer during the Korean War.
An avid hunter and fisherman, Hal, after completion of his military service, opened a sporting goods store in Napa.

Hal was a member of the California Narcotic Officers Association, Napa County Peace Officers Association, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, National Rifle Association and the Napa Rock and Gem Club.

Fit the profile much? Anyone who has not seen the hand writing/printing of Snook's I would suggest they google Hal Snook then click 'Images' and his writing is there.

Interesting, Alex.. I was actually just thinking about the strangeness of Darlene & Mike going out to shop for fireworks at 11:30pm.. Were there really stores still open selling fireworks at this late hour?.. Maybe things were different back then, but these days everything is closed at that hour -most especially on a holiday...

Alex Lewis
8/16/2015 06:18:34 am

'Fireworks' Greg I have always believed was a code word for Drugs. Allegedly, Leo, Dee's brother, later admitted to cops that Darlene was out that night looking to buy drugs.

If your looking to buy some fireworks for a party, then I don't think the parking lot of a golf course is the place to go for them. It is, however, the type of place you would go to buy drugs. That could also explain Mike saying Dee pulled in and flashed her headlights several times, signaling someone that she's arrived? There were other cars there so anyone meeting her would need to know which one is hers so a pre-arranged signal of flashing her headlight would do just that.

Also, I've written a thread previously that points to one common consistent in the first three Zodiac attacks, that being, Columbus Parkway. To get onto Lake Herman you do so off of Columbus Parkway, the second attack at Blue Rock, Blue Rock is located on Columbus Parkway, and Lake Berryessa the subsequent phone call Zodiac made was on Springs road, and to turn onto spring road, you do so via Columbus Parkway. So this road played a vital role in that Zodiac would have been on that road prior to or shortly after the first three attacks.

Hiya Alex, two interesting topics. I remember that Thomas Horan has mentioned the Hal Snook handwriting, in fact he discusses it in a radio debate with Morf13 on the Generation Why Podcast Episode 82 here http://raasnio.com/GenerationWhyPodcast/zodiac-killer-hoax-debate/
I am not a great advocate of handwriting comparisons, but this looks eerily similar in many respects and I've seen a few. I suppose the question regarding Hal Snook is motive and opportunity, where was he on the said nights in question, but the drug angle is nevertheless interesting. Regarding the Robert Graysmith 340 Cipher, probably like you, believe his use of anagrams makes the decryption flawed, with too many variables, however the line "Those fool's shall meet the Killer, Please ask Lundblad" , reminds me of the Zodiac Bus Bomb letter on November 9th when he says in the final line "To prove that I am the Zodiac, Ask the Vallejo cop about my electric gun sight which I used to start my collecting of slaves". And we both know Les Lunblad was in charge for the Lake Herman Road double murder. This could have been like you said reason enough to let things cool off and memories to fade.

3/16/2015 10:56:38 pm

Rich I can't recall now where I read/heard/saw this, and maybe you can confirm if you know details, that Les Lundblad was working on the LHR Investigation as lead and then, one day, without explanation or reason given, Lundblad was removed from the Zodiac investigation and re-assigned. That always struck me as strange because the wording was 'Removed from the investigation' which begs the question.....Why?

Hiya Lisa, what were his thoughts on the case, did he ever talk about it.

Often after murders serial killers will stand by a scene and observe from a distance and as you know offer themselves as eyewitnesses to police. Is it possible one of the persons questioned after Lake Herman was the killer and the topic of guns was broached in the conversation. Then 11 months later the Zodiac in the Bus Bomb letter drops us a hint "To prove that I am the Zodiac, Ask the Vallejo cop about my electric gun sight which I used to start my collecting of slaves". He may not have said those words to Lunblad per se, but the topic of sighting in the dark may have cropped up in a round about way. But an investigator is highly unlikely to remember the context of every conversation, particularly after 11 months.

Alex
3/17/2015 01:45:25 am

You know Rich if you check on ZKS.com theres a thread I created where i attempt to make a case for Zodiac being out on LHR on foot, maybe came from the pumping station behid the fence & barier (where they discovered post-attack, a deep heel impression from a boot.)

It's never made sense to me at all that, if we assume & accept this is Zodiac's first kill, that he choose to strike in an area that not only has one road in, one road out for mile after mile but, due to the mountainous terrain the lane/road is not lit with lights so if I am Police Officer speeding to the scene from Napa or Benicia then I will see an oncoming vehicles headlights from a good mile away easily. If you wish to stand out like a sore thumb, or a set of bright lights on an unlit single road, then LHR is a good choice

I think it's very likely he hung around or maybe even, such is his arrogance, that if he were in a vehicle that he drove to Napa, St Helena and at the end of LHR, turned back and drove back toward & then past the scene slowing or stopping and winding down the window "Everything ok, Officer?"

Lets face it, Pierre recalls that he, as he made his way to the scene along Lake Herman Rd, did not pass any other vehicles going in the opposite direction. So, where did he go? Psychopathic narcissistic Escapologist who calls himself Zodiac? He seemed to be quite good at vanishing from a place under the nose of LE when they are coming from NSE & W and have him surrounded, somehow he just clicks his heels and repeats "There's no place like home."

One road in and out of Lake Herman crime scene for mile after mile. Police dashing from Benicia, Sheriffs office speeding toward the scene from the other direction and Zodiac, like he would later vanish from Julius Kahn Park while surrounded by half a police force, several tracker dog, floodlighting and a search team that could have found a mouse hiding from them, failed to locate the escapologist, He would also simply vanish into thin air 3 seconds after leaving the trun out area.Berryessa road the same, one long road for miles and no fleeing suspects observed.

Doesn't make sense locially. OK, to escape undetected once on a single road that is unlit and continues for miles is exceptionally good luck or timing. But to do it time and again.....Suspicious at the very least.

Yes Smithy wrote this on Zodiac Killer Site forum
Harold K. “Hal” Snook passed away on July 28, 2010. The son of John and Mary Snook, Hal was born on April 21, 1925 at Calpella, Calif., the last of six children.

He is survived by his wife Barbara and sons Keith, Larry and Randy, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Hal served in the Army in the enlisted ranks for three years during World War II in New Guinea and the Philippines. He served another three years as an Air Force officer during the Korean War.

Hal graduated from San Jose State College in 1949, where he met and married Barbara Parker, his wife of 60 years. He worked as editor of the Western Sentinel in Etna, Calif. and as editor of the Napa Journal before being recalled to active duty in 1951.

An avid hunter and fisherman, Hal, after completion of his military service, opened a sporting goods store in Napa.

In 1961 Hal joined the Napa Police Department as a dispatcher and in 1962 became a deputy at the Napa County Sheriff’s Department. He specialized in crime scene and narcotic investigations and was in charge of the crime laboratory. He was recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as an expert in narcotics and fingerprint identification. He also taught scientific crime investigation for the criminal justice department of Napa Community College.

Hal retired in May 1980 and opened a jewelry and fossil business. Hal and his wife cut the stones and did custom metalwork on the jewelry they sold. They also dug and prepared fossil fish from Wyoming and sold them to museums, dealers and collectors worldwide.

I will keep looking, but for starters read this by Tom Voigt on Zodiackillersite.com written in 2002:
Incredibly, the son of former Solano County Sheriff's Detective Les Lundblad Sr. is a convicted murderer. (Lundblad Sr. worked the Lake Herman Road murders in 1968-1969 before being suddenly taken off the case.)

Is Lundblad Jr. the Zodiac? Probably not; however, Solano County has long tried to distance their case's connection to the Zodiac. I have even heard the rumor that a relative of an investigator was suspected.

Maybe Solano County actually felt Lundblad Sr.'s son could have been responsible?

"I will keep looking, but for starters read this by Tom Voigt....."

OBJECTION! NO! :-)

Rich please try and refrain from mentioning the above name while I am present as I instantly start looking for the closest brown paper bag for my imminent hyperventilation episode I know is seconds away. Asking me to read something this person said is like asking a vampire what He thinks of Holy Water. In both instances the answer is: You keep it far away from me, it is repulsive to even think of.

But you have jogged my memory Rich by mentioning Him. Last night around 2am I decided go drive to my local 24/7 garage/convenience store and on the way when I slowed down at a junction not far from my house I saw a guy who I swear either was Thomas or at the very least, a charge could be filed for impersonating a Thomas.
Serious now I could of sworn it was Voigt.

This is why Napa Sheriff's Office have issued me a total ban and injunction on being anywhere in or around Berryessa at or when A Task Force meeting is taking place. FBI gave their reason in their report as: "We strongly believe that should Thomas and Alex be at the same location with a body of water present that TheWelsh Party in question will attempt to drown the American Citizen Voigt and do so while quoting: The society Offender who may well be held under, He never shall be Missed, never shall be missed."

Clayton police are searching for Leslie Barton
Lundblad Jr., 53, for questioning. He is described as
white, with light-colored hair and brown eyes. They said he is about 6 foot 4, and weighs about 300 pounds. He is believed to be driving a 4-door cream-colored
1986 Mercedes-Benz with California license plate
number 1PYM987. Anyone with information is asked to
call Clayton police at (510) 672-4455.

On December 29, 1992, Nancy A. Kropa (Lundblad) was shot four times in the chest by her soon to be ex-husband Leslie Lundblad Jr. After years of physical and mental abuse, Nancy and her 14 year old daughter were scheduled to move out of their home the next day. He took it upon himself not to let that happen by killing her while she was getting dressed for work. After he shot Nancy, he locked up the home and went on the run, leaving her to lie dyeing on the closet floor of their master bedroom.

Leslie Lundblad Jr. was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life with parole and a four year enhancement. He will have served only 21 years when he is up for a parole hearing.

We, the undersigned STRONGLY OPPOSE early release for Leslie Lunblad Jr. Justice demands he serve the full prison term given to him at the time he was sentenced for this heinous crime and not let him roam our streets.

In 1989 I spoke I had a telephone conversation with Les Lundblad Jr. It was kind of weird, and I gained the impression that he was the Zodiac Killer. But that conflicted with a belief that I had then, and maintain, that Arthur Leigh Allen was the Zodiac. The night before I spoke with Lundblad Jr. (in an attempt to reach his father, not knowing he was deceased by then), I had spoken to his niece and mother. The first was a brief call, she told me her grandpa was dead, and that her grandma would know more about the Zodiac case than her uncle, Les Jr. I spoke to the widow of Lundblad Sr. for about three hours. The next day the phone woke me up and it was Les Jr. returning my call from a phone message I left at his realty company office regarding, as I put it, "a case your father worked on." He was very chatty, said a bunch strange things, and when I was done I wondered about it. If he could have been Zodiac. Seven years later, something rekindled my interest in that case, so I got out those old phone numbers and started making some calls. I couldn't reach Les Jr. or his mother. I did get a hold of the niece of Les Jr. again and mentioned that I had called her a few years earlier and just wanted to talk with her uncle and grandma again. She informed me that her grandam died, as it turned out, not long after I talked to her. A sudden, unexpected illness from cancer. She told me her uncle Les was in prison for murdering his wife. I didn't talk to her for very long. It turns out she was classmates and acquaintance of Darlene Ferrin's daughter. As you know, Darlene was the 4th of July Zodiac victim. Her daughter was just a baby when Darlene was killed. For the rest of that night, especially as the hours rolled by and it started getting light out, the conversation with Les Jr.'s niece really creeped me out. i felt convinced that I had spoken to the Zodiac killer, more than just suspecting, as I did after the 1989 conversation with him. Around the time the movie came out (the one based on Graysmith's book) I found a website on the Zodiac and inquired with guy that ran it, an expert on the case, and I think the guy mentioned in some posts above (Tom Voight) if he ever heard of Les Lundblad Jr. being a Zodiac suspect. He told me there was an actual thread about that, but I couldn't find it. I think I irritated him by asking several different times where it was, exactly. But reading his response, that there was a thread, meaning others have contemplated that possibility had me jumping out of my skin. and now, a decade later, here I am poking around that notion again, and actually finding posts/threads on the matter. posted two years ago, however. at any rate, I've found people who have mulled the idea, at least briefly. It feels good to finally share this. Lundblad Jr. had and the things his mother said and wrote to me give me cai=use to wonder with seriousness. But i always remind myself that he couldn't have been the Zodiac. Because the Zodiac was Arthur Leigh Allen.

Darlene Ferrin’s babysitter has said when she told Darlene a man in a parked car was watching the house D said he had come back after being out of the state or CA. This was around May 1969. Two suspects in the Z case l know if we’re out of state around this time period. I know my POI returned from the UK April 1969. It’s murky as to when he left the US as he has changed departure dates in various interviews one month was supposedly October. Other months were earlier yet. I have a witness who knew Davis saying he saw him on Telegraph AV in Berkeley,CA during Christmas 1968.One PI said Davis left December 1968 possibly early,but wasn’t sure. See The Family. l was told and later found in 1960’s anti- detection books that BD and others knew how to obtain fake passports- much easier before tight computer systems even then it’s done successfully today! then to fake -to have an alibi in any murders. The date of departure from the US on the fake passport was later changed or manipulated to show the subject was away from the US during a murder date,etc. One man in his 90’s recently said he did this kind of work for a fee.He did hundreds! But, many others knew how to do it too. The underground was alive and well then. Again, books then showed how to fake a passport.
The other suspect is Gaik. He had been known to have left the US for Europe around the time of the 1968 crime,but details as to exact dates
are also unclear at this time which hopefully,can be determined. Either way way it doesn’t make either on Zodiac!
I am showing one possible reason Z seemed to ‘wait 6 months’ before he struck again. He could have moved, travelled even within the US or outside of the country. He had a ‘life’ no matter what we think.
