Howard Davis sent me the link yesterday , I have gotten in touch with two of the people involved in the investigation. I am waiting to hear back from them. The idea that the POI is in the Oakland area gives me hope that he could be my suspect? Remember that I was working in Oakland as a waitress when my suspect came in and started his "catch me if you can" game with me.I have my fingers crossed ! And don't forget that someone claiming to be Zodiac called Oakland PD Oct 22 1969. It was later thought to be a hoax, I still believe it was thee Zodiac.

I have contacted Michelle Dresbold and hope that she will want to look at my evidence. I told her that one expert at Oakland PD said it was too much like the Zodiac's printing to be from him. Thanks for posting the link Ricardo and I would like to thank Howard Davis for sending me the article yesterday. I have my fingers crossed that this guy is my suspect!

The handwriting analyst did a presentation at the meeting of the University of Pittsburgh's Students Conquering Cold Cases club in Oakland, Pennsylvania. (Oakland is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.)
I hope there will be more information about the Person of Interest in the future.

Here is a note that someone wrote for you years ago. I wonder how this note would be interpreted by a handwriting analyst.

Thanks Ricardo, that note was left for me right after Robert Graysmith's Zodiac book came out. The older man who left it for me, apparently didn't know that I had bought the book already. He wrote it while sitting at a table in Antioch's Lyons Restaurant around 1987 or 88. Then he folded the small note in half and gave to the bartender there , who is a good friend of mine. I would frequent Lyon's almost every day before going to work. I drank coffee while there talking to my friend Linda (Linda was the bartender.)The older man gave the note to her saying: Give this note to Sandy and tell that she and I were talking the other day at the bar about Zodiac and that I want to help her catch the Zodiac.
First of all I didn't talk to a older man the "other day at the bar" and if I had, I would have told him I had Graysmith's book! This note was looked at by a handwriting expert working for Oakland PD. He was the one who said that the note was too much like the Zodiac's handwriting to be from him. Thank goodness I made a copy of it before turning it over to Jim Deasy at SFPD in 1990. After hearing that it was too much like Zodiac's , I blew up my copy to see if it looked like the man wrote it fast or not? It was written fast , because of the tailing I could see when it was made larger. You don't get tailing like that when you meticulously write something. I am in no way a expert, but have studied Zodiac's writing for many years, so when I see it in a letter or note, I think I am pretty good at recognizing it. When this older man wrote it, I think he wanted me to recognize the writing, so he put everything that was known Zodiac put in his letters ,but I didn't recognize it that time because I hadn't studied it before. In fact I put it in my purse and forgot about it. That purse ended up in my closet for about two years, when I needed it for a outfit I was going to where. I looked inside at a few things left in the bottom of the purse,that note was there. When I looked at it at first, I thought it looked a lot like my writing. Then I remembered Linda giving it to me from the unknown older man.I about fell over because it was then that I realized it was from my "Secret Admirer" ( That is what he told me himself)and that the note looked very much like Zodiac's writing. I thought holly cow , I have the smoking gun! That was when I took it to SFPD and then gave a copy of it to the Alameda county DA I was dating at that time, Aaron Payne. Aaron gave it to a so called "expert". Did you know that 50 percent of all handwriting experts , graduate at the bottom of their class? My luck, this guy had to be one of them. The reason I think that the older man made sure that he put everything Z like in that note , was for me to know who I was dealing with. Also so that he could then have more fun playing his taunting game with me. You can't imagine what I went through when he started to come into my work place and follow me 47 miles back to my home at 2 am in the morning. Meanwhile on occasion would try to force me off of highway 4 about 2:30am. That was when I knew I needed to carry my gun with me 24/7. I am a very good shot by the way, he may have seen me at target practice?
Something that I feel is important to know, is that he could still be writing to police ,even telling them that he is Zodiac. They will never believe it is him, unless he sends some "real" proof. That is going never happen, because he is after all a "huge coward" and would be too afraid to be caught by today's technology. ( I have said that many times and posted it)
Pittsburg Ca., police did receive a phone call for someone claiming to be Zodiac and telling them that he was the killer of all those girls in the Antioch/ Pittsburg area in the late 80's to mid 90's. Like I have said ,they thought it was only a copy cat.
A ex Det, form their department, has told me that there were many more than 12 murdered in Contra Costa County that he believes were by the same killer. I believe that Theresa Colleen Brown was one of Zodiac's victims, she was forced off of the same highway as my suspect has tried to do to force me off of and in that same time frame, after she got off work! She was forced off and then stabbed to death, she was also a waitress. Many of you have suspects, but none have one who kills and writes exactly like my suspect.Don't forget that this is the same man who I got away from in Vallejo during winter of 1968. All of this is not just a coincidence! ( Betty Lou and David were killed Dec. 20th 1968 around the time I was followed )Wouldn't it be something if it were that very same night? He was in a brown car with no chrome, like one witness said he saw.

Thank you for explaining about the note that the older man left for you at the restaurant in Antioch. It does seem odd that someone would write the note for you. Here is another note that was left for you. I wonder who wrote this note.

Thank you again Ricardo, That note was from a man who was sitting at the bar at Pier 29 in Oakland where I worked. I remember he was dressed nicely with a tan sports jacket. But for the life of me I do not remember his face? I remember what he said to me and where he sat at the bar , but nothing else. It was a busy night so probably a Friday or Saturday? He asked if he could do my horoscope? I said yes and gave him my birthday. The note was given to me right after he finished writing it. I wasn't thinking about Zodiac at that time and how much the writing looked like his. The reason I kept it, was it inflated my "Leo" ego LOL. He said I was "brilliant"! It was yrs later that I noticed how close it was to Zodiac's printing.It would be good to "like you have suggested" that I be hypnotized, I wonder how much has been suppressed? Perhaps I will remember the license plate of the man who followed me from Vallejo to Napa in the winter of 1968? That car was very much like Darlene's car, only lighter in color. I believe it was a light golden /brown Mercury Comet. I went to a swap meet in Turlock last month and found a older Comet , it had the Z logo as an ornament on both fenders! I took a picture of it and will show you the next time I see you, then you can post it here.In 1963 the Comet had bucket seats and a center console , like what K Johns described.
