Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Nurse Donna Lass went missing in Sept.1970. Despite the best efforts of her family and South Lake Tahoe Police, no trace of her has ever been found. In 1982 her family had her declared legally deceased. Although her now deceased siblings never gave up.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' In recent times. Donna became newsworthy again, with a claim that a photograph depicted Donna as a middle-aged woman from the 1980's. Despite claims that this photo came from a member of the public, it appears to have come from Detective Jake Herminghuis.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Herminghuis, a genuine local hero, was serving a mandatory suspension for the killing of an armed robber, and had decided to busy himself with Donna's case, while awaiting a return to normal duties at the South Lake Tahoe PD. What did he find ? ''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Debates over the photograph were ongoing when, in September 2020, a skull was discovered by a cycle path, within a mile of the former Ponderosa Ranch. Is anyone up to skulduggery ? Do the FBI know something, not even given to local police ? ''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Unless the Pines Card was an exceptionally good hoax, it was confiscated by the FBI, in May 1970, and was always intended to indicate a real and known body - that of Judith Hakari, discovered April 25th 1970, Ponderosa Way, Weimar. Speak up FBI ! ''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' J'accuse the FBI of suppressing the Zodiac's San Jose Letter ( Nov.21st 1970 ) where Z claims his 8th victim - but that was understandable, because Z had elected '' Sherry Doe '' from L.A., hoping to confuse, with a murder away from the Bay area.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' But, with the Zodiac's Pines Card, the FBI were hoping to convince everyone that Z had suddenly started thinking about a 12th victim in March 1971 when, he had been inferring threats of a 13th and 14th victim, in October 1970. No way Jose.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' And, if those infantile counterintelligence games by the FBI weren't enough, the Zodiac finally gets his own back with the May 1978 envelope and, a reference to a Beatles penned chorus : '' 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...''. The Zodiac saying : '' I can count, you know.''.''
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' As an observation of the FBI counterintelligence attempts against Z, they well might justify their actions, as legitimate tools employed to prise something out of Z, or even the embodiment of Z himself. But they never tidy up, after the mess left behind.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' With those failed measures, the FBI have only succeeded in tying the case up in knots, making it more and more difficult to unravel. Moreover, spoiling chances of judicial future solutions. In the present, it's their plain dishonesty that is so waring.''.

Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' And, in returning to November 21st 1969 and the San Jose Letter, suppressed by the FBI, a moment crucial but largely lost in the Zodiac case narrative. At that juncture, the Zodiac had 5 Bay area victims under his belt, although claiming seven in total.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' ''Crucial'' because Z was making a claim for an ''8th'' - but this was a victim from L.A. and, Z now was threatening a celebrity ( Diane Kennedy Pike ). Just when lawyers were tooling up to put Manson away, Z decides that he wants to compete in the same yard.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Z was so ticked off by the suppression of that letter, since he had also answered Dr Marsh's challenge, claiming he was The Walrus, and insulting the FBI, whom he called The Egg Men. Newspapers were told to ignore him - until his Belli letter arrived.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Indeed - into 1970, and Z introduced three 8-Ball symbols into his ''My name is'' cipher. Then, a clue to his Bomb Cipher being 8 o'clock from Mt. Diablo. Into October and he affixed Apollo 8 stamps to his 13 Hole postcard & Halloween Card. 8 on the brain.''.

Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' One can only imagine how Z saw his S.J. letter would translate to a newspaper headline ? - '' Zodiac moves to Hollywood to slay the stars ''. Unfortunately for him, nothing materialise and, it now seems that a breakdown ensued leading to his cry to Belli.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' The perceived breakdown, between Nov.21st and Dec.20th 1969, is now represented by 4 (albeit unauthenticated) correspondences, Two Fairfield letters and two Day-by-Day forecasts for Cancer & Leo. The latter were reflective and indicated new horizons.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Yes indeed, there are a number of so far unauthenticated correspondences, from Z's reign of terror period, deserving closer inspection. These are the ones that have been hanging around for a number of years, usually in poor photocopy condition, i.e. leaked.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Another leaked correspondence is the '' You're next '' cut & paste, from October 12th 1970, and slots in between Z's 13 hole postcard and Halloween Card. Edward Adams was William Grant's psychiatrist and closest to being a friend, for ''Secret Pa'' Grant.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Edward Adams had been treating William Grant for alcohol & gambling addiction, before the Zodiac had even arrived on the Bay area scene (Feb.1968). Adams & Grant were the same age, and both had served time in the Military, in San Antonio, TX.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Only curious locals like Lyndon Lafferty would have picked up this sort of confidential information and, tends to start inferring that the Zodiac sought opportunities to go through Pa Grant's trash cans on a regular basis. Plus car stalking & spying.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Because Lafferty thought Grant was Z, he thought he was responsible for the '' You're next '' note. But, this is the point with Z - he was attempting to fit Grant up as himself, in all things. But Z sometimes lost his own plot, owing to his vanity.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' As December 1969 arrived, Z was in bad shape. The highs from his projects at LB and PH were now dissipating, and the further mileage gleaned though throwing in his 240 cipher, putting down his 7 victims marker, and cocking a snoop at LE, were over.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Z had put much thought into his San Jose letter, with its 8th victim lie, but no sign of it receiving exposure. In the next fortnight, his Day-by-Day forecasts revealed that he had moved primary homes (to L.A.), and there would now be less air travelling.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' The Fairfield letters both used his 340 Cipher keys. The Z38 was a diatribe of abuse directed against William Grant, and Z6+3 was a curse on the American Automobile Association. Z tried to keep a brave face, but the reality was that he had no guns left.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' And so to his Belli letter - pouring out his heart that he was in trouble, hoping to secure a legal friend. One year on from LHR and, he had thrown everything except the kitchen sink at Pa Grant, to make his life hell - but no sign of an arrest in sight.''.
Dec. 2nd 2021 : '' Z was now reflecting that, despite Grant's shortcomings and good reasons for Z to feel bitter, Grant was made of sterner stuff than Z had previously believed. And, that part of the reason Z thought himself to be so smart, had come through Pa's genes.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' Yes indeed, between Z's '' concerned citizen's '' letter to Det.Sgt. Lynch, and his attack at Lake Berryessa, Sept.27th 1969, Z had moved his family from Memphis, TN to the vicinity of Pasadena, L.A. - something he had been hoping to do, since mid-1966.''.

Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' With reference to Z's guns, he had started his murder-related persecution of William Grant, with three guns, and disposed of each as he used them. By the time of his third attack, Lake Berryessa, he had one remaining, hoping to save it for his PH project.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' At LB, Z succeeded in killing with his sword bayonet, and only needed his gun as a threat to Bryan & Cecilia for compliance with his wishes. It is difficult for most to understand how he could so brazenly switch to a blade, but just more blood spilled to Z.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' Z of course knew that in succeeding at Presidio Heights, that would be his firearms used up. But, it didn't prepare him for the psychological effect on him - reducing future options to near zero, unless taking increased risks of being caught.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' Z would realize that he could only have succeeded at LB with confidence, employing a firearms threat. By December 1969, he was just left with his bluster and, he was now struggling to put his terror message out. No guns left had emasculated him.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' Sword bayonet ? Seems little doubt, from the autopsy report on the mortal injuries sustained by Cecilia Shepard. Twelve inches long, 3/4 inch width, and double-edged. More than likely, a WWII junk shop souvenir. Information largely suppressed initially.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' What happened to the Zodiac's mother in 1943 ? I believe that when she refused an abortion from The Baptist Church, they moved her ''back east'' from San Antonio, and found her a position as housekeeper to two brothers, working in the Oil Industry.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' The older of the two brothers took a shine to her, and soon learned of her personal circumstances. He subsequently offered her marriage, and Z was born carrying his mother's husband as legal father. Not that unusual happenings during wartime, WWII.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' If as the CA DOJ claimed to Lyndon Lafferty (2002), that William Grant had been eliminated on the basis of DNA comparisons - then the CA DOJ must have sussed ''something'' (?). But, one can see that their hands have largely been tied, legally.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' Firstly, Grant had not been a legal suspect since 1973, when he won his court injunction for police harassment. Secondly, where were the CA DOJ supposed to look, even if they carried legitimacy. All the adoption agencies in America, for instance (?).''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' It seems that the CA DOJ always had a good relationship with Lafferty though, often giving him the run around for a year at a time. More the case of hanging on to Lafferty's coat tails (?), if Grant was suddenly inclined to spill certain personal beans.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' And, this is why I believe that the FBI in particular, should simply ''butt out'' of any pretended further involvement. All this chipping away, in pathetic attempts to cover up for their sordid past, will serve them no good in the long run.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' Since the US DOJ elect not to humiliate the FBI further, following Comey's firing - then there isn't much that the rest of us can do, apart from carrying placards, with ''The FBI & Hearst Corp. s*ck''. Or, just spook them, with the words ''Donna Lass''.''.
Dec. 3rd 2021 : '' A ''telling'' clue addressed to a Baptist Minister : ''Dear Rev. Billy Graham : There is a contract out on you. If you go to Houston you will be killed. Please heed this warning ! I am a Christian now, but have underworld connections.'' - FBI File 2, pages 19,20.''.

Dec. 4th 2021 : '' Just seven days to go, before the 50th anniversary of the ''I knew'' letter, and 1st anniversary of the embarrassing FBI Tweet where, the FBI claimed (false) allegiance to Bay area partners, and lied about caring for the families of the Zodiac's victims.''.
Dec. 4th 2021 : '' This last year, the FBI have squirmed & twitched, showing that the D B Cooper fraternity only have to mention ''Donna Lass'', and the FBI need to make excuses to use the bathroom. Now, trying to pooh-pooh the Bates letters, because Z extorted the Kennedys.''.
Dec. 4th 2021 : '' Dec.11th could be a time for the FBI to be generous to Zodiac followers (?). The two 10-digit codes allocated to the New York Times & Seattle Times in the ''I knew'' letter would be a nice gesture. Or, is it to be the usual diddly-squat from the Fibbers ? ''.
Dec. 4th 2021 : '' Could be asking a bit much of the FBI ? Particularly if it doesn't provide an exclusive for their partners in crime, the SF Chronicle. The cipher solution attributed to ''private citizens'' gave mention of Gas Chamber & Paralyse the sewer - big news.''.

Dec. 5th 2021 : '' The 13 Hole Card of Oct.5th 1970 is a ''Father & Son'' offering from the Zodiac. 13 teases ( 13 t Z s).'' One Big Thirteenth '' refers to the 13-day siege of The Alamo where, Texans draw a line in the sand. And, where Z's biological conception took place.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' Now rejected and refusing an abortion, the Zodiac's mother was sent ''back east'' by the Church. But where, and where was Z born and brought up ? A clue in the Button letter which. refers to ''the people of San Fran Bay Area'' - a Bay area, but not his one.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' Houston is a conurbation. To the south is an area known as Bay area Houston and, to the east and south, the city looks on to Galveston Bay Area.'' Billy Graham, if you go to Houston you will be killed. I am a Christian but have underworld connections.''.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' Another ''father & Son'' concoction by the Zodiac , is the so called Benicia High School Note where, Z makes out that he (By Son) and Pa are in on a bomb. It was actually a mural, scrawled on white-washed brick work, Thanksgiving weekend 1972.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' October 27th 1970 appears to be a good candidate date, for when the Zodiac officially left the Bay area. No more library check-ins impersonating Pa Grant, and the Benicia Refinery project was over. Halloween Card for that date - '' Bye Pa, Bye - Fag ''.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' Postscript for the Benicia High School Note : ''I'm gona do my thing at Qir School'' - but it could equally be Air School for Z's Secret Pa. Grant's bi-sexuality was a problem for Z, which he couldn't get past. Ironic, since Pa was simply a ''problem'', anyway.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' Most extraordinary line that Z ever wrote, referring to Grant's meanness and preferences ? '' Hybrid genders kept from artistic fee, if person of age has to purchase pick of university uglies.'' Grant liked professional lady boys, but students were cheaper.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' And, two of Z's concealed messages within : HYBRID GENDERS - High Bridge Enders (Golden Gate), and Z's final passing shot at Pa Grant (1998) : perSON OF AGe - ''Son o' Fag''. Contained within this ''person of age'' father, was Z himself - SON O' FAG.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' I believe that it really needs to be said, that the FBI's cryptanalysis and counterintelligence skills were just not up to the task of pinning the Zodiac down. Slow to solve any of his puzzles, and to a phenomenon that flew right past them.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' Now, as the FBI pick up the pieces of their 52 years of shambles, not even sure how they called Z so wrong and, suspicions that the CA DOJ have probably known a basis for solving the case, for at least 20 years, the FBI are struggling to suck on humble pie.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' Only if and when there is a judicial resolution to the Z case, will I tell the fullness of how I was treated and considered by sc*mbags the FBI, Hearst Corp. and H.M.I.C. - But until such time I urge everyone to consider the families of Z's victims FIRST.''.
Dec. 5th 2021 : '' As an overview of the Zodiac case, I see it as a circumstance where, an already practising small-time extortionist, finds himself in the proximity of someone who upped his ante to murder. Pa Grant had destabilized Z, and Z believed the world should know it.''.

Dec. 6th 2021 : '' Questions asked in years to come ? When did the penny drop for William Grant, and how many lives could have been saved (?), speaking up on the nature of his persecution. Pretty much a given, I believe, that he and Marian will be damned to all eternity.''.
Dec. 6th 2021 : '' As a footnote, in 2004 Lyndon & Yvonne Lafferty received a phone call from William Grant with news of Marian's death. They were very fond of her, and enquired about her funeral. Grant told them that he had already had her cremated, with her ashes scattered.''.

Dec. 7th 2021 : '' November 21st 1969 and the Zodiac, declaring himself to be The Walrus, had Eric Burdon of the Animals, and egg fetish man, sticking one over on those '' City Policemen all in a row'' - The Egg Men FBI. And, it has been downhill for them ever since. Unlucky.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' It's a clean sweep historically : Egg Man 1, Egg Men 0 ; Rod Rosenstein 1, James Comey 0 ; Donald Trump 1, Andrew McCabe 0 ; William Barr 1, Christopher Wray 0. And yet only recently, the FBI have tried to bury Z extorting the Kennedys in 1968. Sad.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' With Mr Colbert finding the FBI's Achilles Heel, '' Donna Lass '', and persuading them to roll over to have their tummies tickled, the FBI should just hold up their hands, and release the rest of their Zodiac scrapbook. No longer a point to their shyness ? ''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' One could see the Hearst Corp. being unhappy if the FBI did just come clean. The SF Chronicle hold complicity in the Pines Card fiasco and, Hearst's History Channel made millions out of TV's ''Hunt for the Zodiac Killer'', despite the Z case being ongoing.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' Guess who ? '' After 25 years of writing off and on about the Zodiac, I'm the longest-tenured Zodiac reporter in the country, and it's not a beat I take lightly.'' Tough for Mr Fagan being a propogandist for his secret sources ? But someone's got to do it.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' These scallywags and scoundrels never change their spots. Everything the Hearst Corp. and FBI has ever done, in the Z Case, has been for themselves. Either cover-up or financial gain. Opportunists that don't give a hoot for the families of Z's victims. QED.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' This seems to have become a theme, going on all too long. The SF Chronicle and History Channel in front of shop, converting the case into a soap opera. with the FBI behind the scenes directing and planning scripts, to keep the truth at bay. Vile.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' Robert Mueller, the grey man tasked with finding the truth why James Comey was fired. An ex-FBI Director, not known for his intimacy with staff, but probably the only honest Director the FBI ever had. Ended up twice as grey and in shock over what he found.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' When the FBI recently tweeted a denial that Gary Poste was a serious Z suspect, and repeated words, previously disproved, that they cared about the families of Z's victims - do they really mean it ? Or, executive orders finally delivered ? ''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' It does become apparent that, out of all the reams of extortion correspondence that Z was responsible for, those letters to members of the Kennedy family, shortly after the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, are the ones that the public will take most note. ''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' These letters in the wake of Bobby's June 1968 murder, started emerging within 5 months BEFORE Z's attack at Lake Herman Road, and the murders of Betty Lou Jensen and David Faraday. The truth that the FBI did not pick up on the author - will shock the public.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' And taking the FBI over 50 years to realize their oversight - does not look good for them. No wonder then, that they have recently tried to concoct a story of a hoaxer for the 3 Bates letters, '' Jack had to die Bobby had to die Ted has to die ''. Oh dear.''.
Dec, 7th 2021 : '' It is a sad set of circumstances when one finds oneself ''smelling a rat'' every time the FBI's name comes up. It was a similar scenario to the FBI's underselling of the 1988 New Canaan Letters - a delinquent offender. The FBI's deceit becomes predictable.''.
Dec. 7th 2021 : '' Yes indeed - the litany of mess-ups, seems to have made them very paranoid. One can't help feeling that their counterintelligence is now actually directed at the public, losing the whole notion of public service, believing the public to be the bad guys.''.

Dec. 8th 2021 : '' Most of the letters mailed to the Kennedys, in June and July 1968, carried a Boston MA postmark. The following, a message to Ted Kennedy : '' You will die if you run for Pres or VP. We hate Kennedys.'' Ref : Joseph Kennedy FBI File 1.''
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' FBI had sought legal advice, and told that certain violations had not been breached, implying a prosecution might be difficult. Interesting perhaps, that Z suspect William Grant (till 1973), was known as ''Boston Bill'' - eliminated 2002 by DNA comparisons.''.

Dec. 8th 2021 : '' Weimar - William Grant's weekend retreat chalet (and boyfriend pad ?). Eldridge Cleaver released on bail (and took flight), by Judge Raymond Sherwin - FBI hacked off big time. Sherwin was lover and boss to Marian Grant. No apparent Zodiac in this melee ? ''.

Dec. 8th 2021 : '' It is revealed in the Timothy Leary FBI Files ( Turn on, tune in, drop out ), that the FBI had assessed that book editor (also critic and author) John Simon who, assisted author and Black Panther Minister Eldridge Cleaver, to take flight to Algeria.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' Despite a spiritual leader for hippies, Leary struggled to persuade John Simon to publish his books - whereas anything Cleaver gave Simon was gold dust. The FBI were clearly worried about what Cleaver would write about, while on the run.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' When the FBI found out that Cleaver was under the protection of the Algerian Govt., Cleaver moved to Paris, with approval of the French Govt., and was existing on a stipend income from the North Vietnamese Govt.. Oh how those Fibbers must have hated Judge Sherwin.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' So, one does tend to wonder who was actually responsible for Judge Sherwin on the receiving end of Grievous Bodily Harm ? That which caused the Vallejo PD to blow their cover, in a surveillance op. on William Grant, believing the thug must have been Grant.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' John Simon passed away in 2019, age 94. Eldridge Cleaver, mentor to murdered BPP student leader Bunchy Carter, eventually returned to the U.S., striking a plea deal in return for 1200 Community Service hours, and surprisingly joined the Republican Party.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' Following the assault on Sherwin and blown surveillance operation on Grant, Grant was able to persuade a law court that he was the victim of police harassment, and in earning a court injunction against all of LE, with it came illegal suspect for him.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' When Grant won his court injunction, there were some old school detectives, like Les Lundblad that were in despair. Although offering sleuth Lyndon Lafferty encouragement to investigate Grant, Lundblad never actually stated that he believed Grant to be Z.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' In his investigations, Lafferty had an informer in (ironically) his wife Yvonne who, was Marian's close friend. So, Lafferty became aware that William & Marian had a showdown following William's court victory - and when Marian had a nervous breakdown.''.

Dec. 8th 2021 : '' When Lafferty heard that William & Marian had had a showdown, it seems that it cast the die for Lafferty in confirming his suspicion that Grant was Z. But, Marian never divulged the fullness of confessions to either Yvonne, or psychiatrist Richard Adler.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' As a general observation, Grant comes across as an exceedingly selfish and arrogant individual. Feeling forced to confess ''something'' to his wife, he simply believed that hiring Adler to treat Marian's breakdown, would sort out a particular problem.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' Sadly, Grant did succeed in holding Marian to silence over his confession. But, she was never the same person, as Lyndon & Yvonne observed. When socializing with Grant, Lafferty would ''pack a weapon'', to feel safe, and only socialized for Marian's sake.''.
Dec. 8th 2021 : '' Ironic, that Grant had probably never killed anyone - Lafferty only had Grant's temper and ''insufferable misogyny'' to endure. However, the way Z seems to portray matters of the past, Z held Grant to account for more than just abandonment of his mother.''.

Dec. 9th 2021 : '' In December 1975, William Grant's live-in elderly mother died. At that juncture, William & Marian, now both 56, decided it was time to downsize their residence, and made plans to sell their spacious property, on Cordelia Rd., to somewhere more manageable.''.
Dec. 9th 2021 : '' August 1976, the Grants had moved to Cunningham Drive. On August 26th 1976, the following personal ad. appeared : ''ZODIAC, Your partner is in DEEP REAL ESTATE. You're next. The Imperial Wizard can save you. Surrender to him or I'll terminate your case. R.A.''.
Dec. 9th 2021 : '' Z had long been aware that Pa Grant was a religious daily reader of the SF Chronicle. The personal ad. was Z just letting Grant know that he was still watching him and, since Z had to fear the possibility that Marian might run to the cops - a warning.''.
Dec. 9th 2021 : '' ZODIAC = William Grant; Your partner = Marian Grant; DEEP REAL ESTATE = trouble; The Imperial Wizard = a mythical person, but falsely implying that William belonged to the KKK; R.A. = Richard Adler who, might cancel with Marian - but euphemism for death threat.''.
Dec. 9th 2021 : '' The real Zodiac then, still trying to palm off '' Pa Grant '' as himself. Still employing puns and innuendo to sound cheerfully witty - but with a stark warning to William Grant that he, ''Son o' Fag'' Zodiac, could strike at any time he chose.''.
Dec. 9th 2021 : '' As far as I am aware, this personal ad. first came to general public light, with Robert Graysmith's ''Zodiac Unmasked'' in 2002. To my mind, it is yet another example of how out of touch and remote from the case, over the years, the FBI have been. Frauds.''.
Dec. 9th 2021 : '' One sees it time and time again - the FBI registering items of information and, even going through a rote form of process. But, no real evidence of cross-checking or deducing and, no one charged with continuity. Truly woeful stuff from the FBI.''.
