"Sorry" counts as speaking.

in the lowercase "r's."

Boot prints to and from the crime scene

589
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:18,503
were made by size
10-and-a-half Wing Walkers,

And you can't buy at a PX
without a military ID,

593
00:38:26,637 --> 00:38:28,596
so our suspect could be military.

Nope. Vallejo's got them, not us.

-Right.

off the original plaster cast?

608
00:38:57,376 --> 00:38:59,502

We don't have a fax, either.

Have you called Solano Sheriff's Office?

612
00:39:04,508 --> 00:39:06,176
Why would l call Solano?

613
00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:09,846
Because the two kids that got killed
last Christmas were Solano's.

614
00:39:09,930 --> 00:39:11,181
l thought they were Vallejo.

615
00:39:11,265 --> 00:39:12,557
No, they were over the county line

616
00:39:12,641 --> 00:39:14,851

to coordinate with them, too.

623
00:39:30,117 --> 00:39:32,535
On Jackson. Heading east.
About the middle of the block.

624
00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:34,704
And this is three minutes
after the shooting?

625
00:39:34,789 --> 00:39:35,955
Give or take. Yeah.

626
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,040

heading east orwest?

627
00:39:37,124 --> 00:39:38,291
We were going west.

628
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:40,627
All right, so you're
on Jackson going west.

629
00:39:40,711 --> 00:39:43,880

catty-corner southwest?

630
00:39:43,964 --> 00:39:45,632
-Correct.
-Did you slow down?

631

-Of course we slowed down.
-All right.

632

it was a Negro male.

634
00:39:51,263 --> 00:39:53,932

they hadn't changed it.

What do you mean, "lumbering"?

The guy was wearing a darkjacket.
There's no way...

642

We weren't all boy scouts, Robert.

888
00:52:06,957 --> 00:52:10,501
Well, it's not that hard.
You just got to knowwhere to start.

-Why?
-No reason.

892
00:52:16,633 --> 00:52:20,094
What's the most common double
consonant in the English language?

893
00:52:20,178 --> 00:52:21,303
Consonant?

894
00:52:21,388 --> 00:52:22,680
-The double "L."
-Double "L."

895
00:52:22,764 --> 00:52:26,642
And what's the one word that we know
that he'll use in here, at least once?

896
00:52:26,726 --> 00:52:27,810
-"Kill."
-Right, "kill."

897
00:52:27,894 --> 00:52:29,353
So the Hardens start looking
for double symbols,

898
00:52:29,437 --> 00:52:31,438
which they find here, here, and here.

899
00:52:31,523 --> 00:52:33,983
Each with the same
two symbols preceding them.

900
00:52:34,067 --> 00:52:35,985
So now they've got
a repeating four-letterword

901
00:52:36,069 --> 00:52:38,154
ending with two symbols
that they assume stand for "L."

902
00:52:38,238 --> 00:52:39,655
And since they think the whole word
is "kill" then...

903
00:52:39,739 --> 00:52:43,159
Then you got your "K," you got your "l,"
and you're on yourway.

904
00:52:43,243 --> 00:52:45,119
But how do you go
from "A" is one and "B" is two

905
00:52:45,203 --> 00:52:46,579
to figuring out this whole code?

906

the author presents a very simple
substitution code in the preface.

909

Eight of the 26 symbols that
he suggests are found in this cipher.

910
00:53:02,095 --> 00:53:03,387
Yeah, but there are non-letter symbols

911
00:53:03,471 --> 00:53:04,889
because there's all
these medieval ones.

912
00:53:04,973 --> 00:53:07,558

-PAUL: "This is the Zodiac speaking."

1024
01:01:44,867 --> 01:01:47,786
I shot a man
sitting in a parked carwith a .38.

1025
01:01:47,870 --> 01:01:51,164
"Zodiac 12, SFPD zero."

1026
01:01:51,249 --> 01:01:54,626
"The map coupled with this code
will tell you where the bomb is set.

ROBERT: "This is the Zodiac speaking.

"I'm rather unhappy because you people

"will not wear
some nice Zodiac buttons.

01:02:05,263 --> 01:02:07,723
"So, l now have a little list,
starting with the woman and her baby

a few months back,

"that ended in my burning her car

1035
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:16,189
We're really not gonna run
anymore of his letters?

1036
01:02:16,274 --> 01:02:18,859
The new policy. Our brothers in blue
want us to hold back

1037
01:02:18,943 --> 01:02:20,527
and see how he reacts.

1038
01:02:20,611 --> 01:02:22,738
Four letters in three months,

1039
01:02:22,822 --> 01:02:25,824
and this is the first mention
of Kathleen Johns. That's very weird.

1040
01:02:25,908 --> 01:02:29,244
That's because he's full of shit.

1041
01:02:30,496 --> 01:02:32,164
What do you mean?

1042
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:34,624
You don't know?

1043
01:02:36,294 --> 01:02:41,089
Welcome. Please put your stuff down.
You're going down five rows and left.

1044
01:02:41,174 --> 01:02:43,759
Looking for the Modesto Bee
from March.

1045
01:02:43,843 --> 01:02:46,928
l'm going to stand here
and attempt not to vomit.

1046
01:02:47,013 --> 01:02:49,014
-Left.
-Left.

1047
01:02:50,016 --> 01:02:52,517
-What am l looking for?
-Kathleen Johns.

1048
01:02:52,602 --> 01:02:53,810
Also probably you wanna
pull the Chron from...

1049
01:02:53,895 --> 01:02:57,063
You know, never mind. l'll see to that.

1050
01:02:58,191 --> 01:03:00,609
Okay, look at this letter again.
The part about Kathleen Johns.

1051
01:03:00,693 --> 01:03:02,569
Tell me what facts he gives.

1052
01:03:02,653 --> 01:03:05,864
-A woman and her baby abducted.
-Fact.

1053
01:03:08,034 --> 01:03:10,202
-The car on fire.
-Okay, now,

1054
01:03:11,662 --> 01:03:14,080
look at the article from the Bee.

1055
01:03:14,749 --> 01:03:16,333
Seen it yet?

1056
01:03:16,417 --> 01:03:18,335
Everything in the letter
already appeared in the article.

1057
01:03:18,419 --> 01:03:20,378
And he's done it before.

1058
01:03:21,547 --> 01:03:24,216
Officer Richard Radetich,
shot sitting in his car.

1059
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:26,468
Zodiac claimed that he shot someone
in their car.

1060
01:03:26,552 --> 01:03:30,096
Couple days after this article came out.

1061
01:03:30,181 --> 01:03:31,848
The police already had somebody
in custody.

1062
01:03:31,933 --> 01:03:34,518
Zodiac didn't do it,
but took credit for it anyway

1063
01:03:34,602 --> 01:03:36,937
because he's in it for the press.

1064
01:03:37,021 --> 01:03:38,396
He even stole his symbol.

1065
01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:40,774
-What?
-Yeah. Shit.

1066
01:03:40,858 --> 01:03:42,526
lf l show you something,
you promise not to tell anyone?

1067
01:03:42,610 --> 01:03:45,904
-Who would l tell?
-Okay. Totally solid point. Okay.

1068
01:03:53,746 --> 01:03:55,455
That's the only place
that word and that symbol

1069
01:03:55,540 --> 01:03:57,999
ever appeared together
before the letters.

1070
01:03:58,084 --> 01:03:59,626
The guy stole his logo off a watch.

1071
01:03:59,710 --> 01:04:01,002
How can somebody
who's killed 13 people do...

1072
01:04:01,087 --> 01:04:02,337
He claims he's killed 13 people,

1073
01:04:02,421 --> 01:04:03,964
but which ones
can we actually confirm?

1074
01:04:04,048 --> 01:04:08,093
There's three in Vallejo,
one in Berryessa, the cabbie. That's it.

1075
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,264
Bobby, you almost look disappointed.

1076

1077
01:04:16,227 --> 01:04:17,811
Business as usual.

1078
01:04:17,895 --> 01:04:19,563
Something'll shake loose.

1079
01:04:19,647 --> 01:04:21,857
Not a peep in four months.

1080
01:04:21,941 --> 01:04:24,401
First he won't shut up and now...

1081
01:04:24,485 --> 01:04:26,778
Maybe we drove him underground.

1082
01:04:27,446 --> 01:04:29,072
Maybe he's gone.

1083
01:04:30,116 --> 01:04:33,159

-Happy birthday, Bill.
-Thanks.

1085
01:04:45,673 --> 01:04:47,966
Does it ever bother you
that people call you Shorty?

1086
01:04:48,050 --> 01:04:50,552
Does it bother you
that people call you a retard?

1087
01:04:50,636 --> 01:04:53,471
-Nobody calls me that.
-Right.

I pledge to use all my influence

1089
01:04:56,934 --> 01:05:01,897
to make sure that Darlene Ferrin's killer
is brought tojustice.

1090
01:05:01,981 --> 01:05:06,568
I believe some clues were overlooked
in the murder of Darlene Ferrin.

1091

-Who is that?

Florence Douglas, mayor ofVallejo.
She's running for governor.

1093
01:05:11,657 --> 01:05:14,534

either did not have the money, the time

1094
01:05:14,619 --> 01:05:16,661
or, yes, the inclination...

1095
01:05:16,746 --> 01:05:20,123
Sayonara, police endorsement.
Good work, Flo.

1096
01:05:20,207 --> 01:05:22,834

Oh, wow. l don't think Paul knows
that it's that far away.

Yeah. How do you mean?

1157
01:08:27,853 --> 01:08:30,271
Well, you said it was
an anonymous tip, right?

l mean, it could be the Zodiac.

01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:27,829
You know, when you said it
was dangerous, l just thought

-that it is dangerous, and it's...
-Stupid?

1176
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,666
Stupid. And l just thought that

1177
01:09:31,750 --> 01:09:35,503
l should call his wife
and just see if she's heard from him.

1178

1179

she'd call when she heard from him.

-Yeah.

and wait for the call.

to get me to go home with you?

01:11:01,465 --> 01:11:02,882
Anything?

1190
01:11:06,512 --> 01:11:07,762
You don't have to stay.

1191
01:11:07,846 --> 01:11:09,305
Are you kidding?

1192
01:11:09,390 --> 01:11:12,517
This is the most interesting date
l've ever had.

1193
01:11:12,643 --> 01:11:15,019
(PHONE RlNGlNG)

1194
01:11:16,772 --> 01:11:17,897
-Paul?
-Robert?

1195
01:11:17,982 --> 01:11:19,565
-Yes.
-You sitting down?

1196
01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:20,775
Yes.

1197
01:11:20,859 --> 01:11:22,652
You're not gonna believe this.

1198
01:11:22,736 --> 01:11:23,778
Dave!

1199

MAN ON TV: In a bizarre twist,
the hunted has become hunter.

1200
01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:30,326
San Francisco Chronicle reporter
and Zodiac target Paul Avery

1201
01:11:30,411 --> 01:11:32,495
claims to have uncovered
new information

1202
01:11:32,579 --> 01:11:37,083
regarding the only unsolved homicide
in Riverside County's history,

1203
01:11:37,167 --> 01:11:40,336
a 1966 Southern California murder,

1204
01:11:40,421 --> 01:11:43,423
that Avery now believes
was the Zodiac's first victim.

1205
01:11:43,507 --> 01:11:44,507
What?

1206
01:11:44,591 --> 01:11:45,800
-He didn't call you about this?
-Hang on!

1207
01:11:45,884 --> 01:11:47,385
The Riverside killer
wrote to the press letters

1208
01:11:47,469 --> 01:11:51,306
that I then took personally to
the Office of Questioned Documents.

1209
01:11:51,390 --> 01:11:53,599
And what did this expert tell you?

1210
01:11:53,684 --> 01:11:55,226
What I knew in my gut, Ron.

1211
01:11:55,311 --> 01:11:57,770
The handwriting matches Zodiac's.

1212
01:11:57,855 --> 01:12:00,189
How'd he get the evidence
out of Riverside?

1213
01:12:00,274 --> 01:12:02,483
He took it to Sherwood
without telling us, the son of a bitch.

1214
01:12:02,568 --> 01:12:03,818
You know how bad this looks?

1215
01:12:03,902 --> 01:12:06,112
Hey, how do we know
that this lead is real?

1216
01:12:06,196 --> 01:12:08,489
lt's very real. You know how l know?

1217
01:12:08,574 --> 01:12:10,450
Because l saw it on TV.

1218
01:12:16,457 --> 01:12:17,457
Excuse me.

1219
01:12:17,541 --> 01:12:18,708
Dave.

1220
01:12:19,084 --> 01:12:20,168
Hi.

1221
01:12:20,252 --> 01:12:22,420
Dave, you know Mel Nicolai.
He's working the case for Justice.

1222
01:12:22,504 --> 01:12:23,671
Good to see you, Mel.

1223
01:12:23,756 --> 01:12:25,673
All due respect,
can someone explain to me

1224
01:12:25,758 --> 01:12:27,383
why l'm reading
about breaks in this case

1225
01:12:27,468 --> 01:12:29,344
in the Chronicle instead
of getting calls from you?

1226
01:12:29,428 --> 01:12:30,511
We got screwed.

1227
01:12:30,596 --> 01:12:31,763
Dave, come on.

1228
01:12:31,847 --> 01:12:33,848
You do get your name in the paper a lot.
People talk.

1229
01:12:33,932 --> 01:12:36,809
l don't ever talk about an open
investigation, period. Okay, Ken?

1230
01:12:36,894 --> 01:12:39,687
Dave? Hey. Hi.

1231
01:12:39,772 --> 01:12:42,357
Paul Avery. Can l catch a ride
with you gents when we get there?

1232
01:12:42,441 --> 01:12:44,275
Not a good idea, Paul.

1233
01:12:45,110 --> 01:12:48,029
He's gonna make me take a cab
when we're going to the same place.

1234
01:12:48,113 --> 01:12:50,698
STEWARDESS OVER PA: Ladies and
gentlemen, thank you for choosing PSA.

1235
01:12:50,783 --> 01:12:52,909
-Fair enough. Fair enough.
-Please take your seats at this time.

1236
01:12:52,993 --> 01:12:56,162
Remember, smoking is
in the last six aisles only.

1237
01:12:56,246 --> 01:12:57,914
Enjoy yourflight.

1238
01:13:02,002 --> 01:13:03,836
-Cross? Hi.
-Yeah.

1239
01:13:03,921 --> 01:13:06,214
-lnspector David Toschi, SFPD.
-How are you doing?

1240
01:13:06,298 --> 01:13:07,799
Great. Thanks for having us
down today.

1241
01:13:07,883 --> 01:13:10,385
Not at all.
l hear you have some files for us.

1242
01:13:10,469 --> 01:13:12,011
l'll show you mine. You show me yours.

1243
01:13:12,096 --> 01:13:14,472
-Frisco huh?
-That's right. San Francisco.

1244
01:13:15,099 --> 01:13:16,557
-Ken Narlow from Napa.
-Ken.

1245
01:13:16,642 --> 01:13:18,393
-Mel Nicolai, Justice.
-Mel.

1246
01:13:18,477 --> 01:13:19,435
CROSS: Here's what we know.

1247
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,105
Cheri Jo Bates attended
Riverside Community College.

1248
01:13:22,189 --> 01:13:26,484
She studies in the library
the night of October 30th, 1966.

1249
01:13:26,610 --> 01:13:30,405
She leaves with an unidentified male
at closing, 9:00 p.m.

1250
01:13:30,489 --> 01:13:34,242
Her body's found the next morning
in a parking lot, stabbed to death.

1251
01:13:34,326 --> 01:13:35,618
Her car is disabled.

1252
01:13:35,702 --> 01:13:38,704
Someone cut the coil in the distributor,
the battery died.

1253
01:13:38,789 --> 01:13:41,207
The someone comes back,
offers to help.

1254
01:13:41,291 --> 01:13:43,418
-Like Kathleen Johns.
-CROSS: Who?

1255
01:13:43,502 --> 01:13:46,212
A woman outside of Modesto,
might be a Zodiac victim.

1256
01:13:46,296 --> 01:13:49,799
Might. Might be.
l have her comp right here in this file.

1257
01:13:49,883 --> 01:13:51,092
Okay.

1258
01:13:51,176 --> 01:13:54,303
A typewritten confession was sent
to the Riverside Press Enterprise

1259
01:13:54,388 --> 01:13:57,181
on November 29th,
a month after Bates's murder.

1260
01:13:57,266 --> 01:13:58,683
They ran it.

1261
01:14:00,936 --> 01:14:03,646
KEN: "l'm not sick. l am insane.
But that will not stop the game.

1262
01:14:03,730 --> 01:14:05,940
"This letter should be published
for all to read."

1263
01:14:06,024 --> 01:14:07,358
He wants to be published.
He calls it a game.

1264
01:14:07,443 --> 01:14:08,818
l mean, this could be our boy.

1265
01:14:08,902 --> 01:14:12,238
Six months later, the police,
the girl's father, and the paper,

1266
01:14:12,322 --> 01:14:14,282
they all received these.

1267
01:14:17,995 --> 01:14:18,995
(SlGHS)

1268
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:20,913
Double postage, just like Zodiac.

1269
01:14:22,708 --> 01:14:25,376
These are what Sherwood Morrill
matched to the Zodiac letters?

1270
01:14:25,461 --> 01:14:27,503
These and the desktop. Don.

1271
01:14:27,588 --> 01:14:31,924
This was found a couple of months later
by a janitor in RCC storage.

1272
01:14:41,268 --> 01:14:43,519
MEL: Sherwood got
a handwriting match offwood?

1273
01:14:45,564 --> 01:14:47,690
Who etches in their own handwriting?

1274
01:14:47,774 --> 01:14:48,941
To be honest with you,

1275
01:14:49,026 --> 01:14:51,402
our letters and your letters,
l don't see it.

1276
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:54,071
How did Paul Avery
get his hands on the exemplars?

1277
01:14:54,156 --> 01:14:55,490
l gave them to him.

1278
01:14:55,574 --> 01:14:57,492
We talked on the phone the other day
for about an hour.

1279
01:14:57,576 --> 01:14:59,035
And l told him you were gonna be here.

1280
01:14:59,119 --> 01:15:00,828
-You told him we were meeting?
-Yeah.

1281
01:15:00,913 --> 01:15:03,122
l also told him
we don't think this is Zodiac.

1282
01:15:03,207 --> 01:15:05,291
Okay, wait a minute.

1283
01:15:05,375 --> 01:15:08,461
-You don't think this is Zodiac?
-We got a guy we like for it.

1284
01:15:08,545 --> 01:15:10,129
We don't have enough
to pin it on him yet,

1285
01:15:10,214 --> 01:15:11,464
but we're pretty sure it's him.

1286
01:15:11,548 --> 01:15:14,425
lfyou don't think this is Zodiac,
then why give anything to Avery?

1287
01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:16,177
l'm trying to cooperate.

1288
01:15:16,261 --> 01:15:19,055
Oh, that's how you cooperate?
By giving information to reporters?

1289
01:15:19,139 --> 01:15:20,681
Look, l don't know
about the handwriting,

1290
01:15:20,766 --> 01:15:22,016
but Sherwood says it's a match, right?

1291
01:15:22,100 --> 01:15:24,519
So, let's just say
that your guy did Cheri Jo.

1292
01:15:24,603 --> 01:15:25,770
He types the confession.

1293
01:15:25,854 --> 01:15:29,023
Zodiac reads it in the paper,
and he writes a letter taking credit for it.

1294
01:15:29,107 --> 01:15:30,650
Now, that's something he's done before.

1295
01:15:30,734 --> 01:15:33,361
Look, now you have everything we have.

1296
01:15:33,445 --> 01:15:36,739
But, in my opinion,
you guys came south for nothing.

1297
01:15:36,823 --> 01:15:38,950
FUBAR, gentlemen, FUBAR.

1298
01:15:39,034 --> 01:15:41,786
l don't care what he says.
This still could be Z.

1299
01:15:41,870 --> 01:15:45,081
The problem is
the entire state already thinks it is.

1300
01:15:45,165 --> 01:15:48,543
Well, there's your press agent.
Talk to him about it.

1301
01:15:51,046 --> 01:15:53,005
l come in peace.
l don't want any trouble.

1302
01:15:53,090 --> 01:15:55,049
l really don't want to talk to you
right now, Paul. Not now.

1303
01:15:55,133 --> 01:15:59,095
-Just trying to do myjob.
-Oh, really? Well, now l can't do mine.

1304
01:15:59,179 --> 01:16:01,222
We're already screwed with
the amount of tips we got on this thing,

1305
01:16:01,306 --> 01:16:03,057
and you just freaked out the entire state.

1306
01:16:03,141 --> 01:16:06,435
l have got Napa, Vallejo, and DOJ
looking at me sideways

1307
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,355
and Riverside's telling me
l'm on a snipe hunt!

1308
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,066
Jesus. Hey, Cheri Jo Bates was a gift.
l gave that to you.

1309
01:16:12,150 --> 01:16:13,734
You and Armstrong
neverwould have found her.

1310
01:16:13,819 --> 01:16:16,112
This may not be Zodiac.
Does that matter to you?

1311
01:16:16,196 --> 01:16:17,572
-What if it is?
-Does it matter that Riverside may not

1312
01:16:17,656 --> 01:16:19,740
be able to make a case
against their suspect because ofyou?

1313
01:16:19,825 --> 01:16:21,742
Tell it to Sherwood.
l'm out here, beating the bushes,

1314
01:16:21,827 --> 01:16:23,411
trying to draw him out.
We're in this together.

1315
01:16:23,495 --> 01:16:24,870
No, we're not in anything together, Paul,

1316
01:16:24,955 --> 01:16:26,831
because l'm not interested
in upping my circulation.

1317
01:16:26,915 --> 01:16:29,792
Oh, boy. He wrote me.
He threatened my life.

1318
01:16:29,876 --> 01:16:31,502
Hey, Bullitt!

1319
01:16:31,628 --> 01:16:35,590
Been a year-and-a-half,
you gonna catch this fucking guy or not?

1320
01:16:37,676 --> 01:16:40,094
-Go fuck yourself.
-Happily.

1321
01:16:40,178 --> 01:16:42,179
You should have called me, Paul.

1322
01:16:47,728 --> 01:16:48,978
Thank you.

1323
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:03,951
-Did you see this?
-Unfortunately, yes.

1324
01:17:04,036 --> 01:17:06,746
Here comes every lunatic in California.

1325
01:17:07,581 --> 01:17:08,914
l'm the Zodiac.

1326
01:17:08,999 --> 01:17:10,583
And how did you kill your victims?

1327
01:17:10,667 --> 01:17:13,294
With a gun. No, with a hammer.

1328
01:17:13,378 --> 01:17:14,712
All l'm authorized to tell you

1329
01:17:14,796 --> 01:17:16,380
is that he's still under
government employment.

1330
01:17:16,465 --> 01:17:19,550
-And who authorized you to tell me this?
-That's all l'm authorized to say.

1331
01:17:19,635 --> 01:17:21,802
Only a little rat bastard like Andre

1332
01:17:21,887 --> 01:17:24,472
could have done something
like cut off all the victims' hands.

1333
01:17:24,556 --> 01:17:26,932
Zodiac didn't cut off
any of the victims' hands.

1334
01:17:27,017 --> 01:17:28,768
-Are you sure?
-Yes, sir.

1335
01:17:28,852 --> 01:17:31,395
Travis and l worked here
side by side for 10 years.

1336
01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:35,566
His foot gets crushed in an accident
and the killings begin.

1337
01:17:35,651 --> 01:17:37,151
-Coincidence?
-l don't know.

1338
01:17:37,235 --> 01:17:39,153
You're a cop, man. Do the math.

1339
01:17:43,533 --> 01:17:46,786
Have you considered
the killer might be Paul Avery?

1340
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,079
Frequently.

1341
01:17:48,622 --> 01:17:50,039
MAN: He was drinking Coors,
getting a load on.

1342
01:17:50,624 --> 01:17:54,210
Starts talking about hunting people.
Like that book.

1343
01:17:54,294 --> 01:17:56,504
Says how you can put a light
at the end of a gun

1344
01:17:56,588 --> 01:17:58,130
to use as a sight in the dark.

1345
01:17:58,215 --> 01:18:00,007
-He said that?
-Yeah.

1346
01:18:01,009 --> 01:18:03,678
So l asked him,
"Howwould you get away with it?"

1347
01:18:03,762 --> 01:18:04,970
And he said, "lt would be easy

1348
01:18:05,055 --> 01:18:07,515
"'cause there'd be no real motive
to the thing."

1349
01:18:07,599 --> 01:18:09,475
Then he said he'd write letters
to the police

1350
01:18:09,559 --> 01:18:11,352
and call himself Zodiac
to mess with them.

1351
01:18:11,436 --> 01:18:13,062
Leigh liked messing with people.

1352
01:18:13,146 --> 01:18:16,190
-You're positive he said "Zodiac"?
-Yeah.

1353
01:18:16,274 --> 01:18:19,360
l thought it was a stupid name.
So l told him.

1354
01:18:19,444 --> 01:18:22,905
He got up all upset and said,
"l don't care what you think.

1355
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,658
"l've thought about it a long time
and that's the name l'm gonna use."

1356
01:18:25,742 --> 01:18:29,078
Did you feel like he'd been
thinking about it a long time?

1357
01:18:29,162 --> 01:18:32,415
He was raw about losing his job
at the school.

1358
01:18:32,499 --> 01:18:35,543
He talked about shooting out
the tires of a school bus

1359
01:18:35,627 --> 01:18:38,045
and picking off the little darlings.

1360
01:18:38,130 --> 01:18:42,216
-He actually used those words?
-That's what made me remember.

1361
01:18:42,300 --> 01:18:44,719
Afterwards, l told my wife
l didn't wanna see him again.

1362
01:18:44,803 --> 01:18:46,554
And l haven't since.

1363
01:18:46,638 --> 01:18:49,181
Other thing is, Leigh's into skin diving.

1364
01:18:49,266 --> 01:18:51,350
l know he's been up to that lake
a bunch of times.

1365
01:18:51,435 --> 01:18:53,811
Lake Berryessa?
Did you ever go with him?

1366
01:18:53,895 --> 01:18:57,898
Couple times. We went fishing
by Putah Creek near there.

1367
01:18:57,983 --> 01:18:59,442
Tell him when you put it together.

1368
01:18:59,526 --> 01:19:04,238
About a year ago, in the paper,
there was a story about the Zodiac.

1369
01:19:04,322 --> 01:19:07,450
And it all comes back.
l tried to call the local cops.

1370
01:19:07,534 --> 01:19:09,160
They blew him off.
Thought he was a nut.

1371
01:19:09,244 --> 01:19:13,080
And you're sure
the conversation you had about Zodiac

1372
01:19:13,165 --> 01:19:16,917
took place on January 1st, 1968?

1373
01:19:17,002 --> 01:19:18,753
lt couldn't have been any later.

1374
01:19:18,837 --> 01:19:21,797
l started a newjob in L. A.
on January 20th.

1375
01:19:22,299 --> 01:19:23,758
l had to move.

1376
01:19:23,842 --> 01:19:26,343
-This is my problem. This guy...
-ARMSTRONG: Arthur Leigh Allen?

1377
01:19:26,428 --> 01:19:29,054
This guy, Leigh,
just lays out his entire evil plan

1378
01:19:29,139 --> 01:19:30,639
to a fishing buddy on New Year's Day?

1379
01:19:30,724 --> 01:19:33,559
l don't know.
He's angry, he's been drinking,

1380
01:19:33,643 --> 01:19:35,770
been thinking about it for a while.
l can buy that.

1381
01:19:35,854 --> 01:19:38,230
So why didn't Cheney
contact us sooner?

1382
01:19:38,315 --> 01:19:39,774
l checked. He did.

1383
01:19:39,858 --> 01:19:42,860
First recorded contact
with the police department aboutAllen

1384
01:19:42,944 --> 01:19:45,780
was in Pomona. January 10th, 1970.

1385
01:19:45,864 --> 01:19:46,947
He just got lost in the shuffle.

1386
01:19:47,032 --> 01:19:48,741
Did Cheney have anything
againstAllen?

1387
01:19:48,825 --> 01:19:50,117
Did Allen screw his wife or anything?

1388
01:19:50,202 --> 01:19:51,952
We're gonna do
a full background check.

1389
01:19:52,037 --> 01:19:54,705
But l got to tell you, l like this guy.

1390
01:19:55,707 --> 01:19:57,666
So, let's pull
some handwriting samples.

1391
01:19:59,377 --> 01:20:02,296
Hi. l talked to Sherwood.
He got the samples.

1392
01:20:02,380 --> 01:20:04,340
-What are you having?
-BLT.

1393
01:20:06,927 --> 01:20:09,470
So, the check stubs are a wash.
There's not enough handwriting.

1394
01:20:09,554 --> 01:20:12,139
The application's got more,
but it doesn't look like Z's,

1395
01:20:12,224 --> 01:20:14,517
so he can't rule him in.
But he can't rule him out, either.

1396
01:20:14,601 --> 01:20:17,520
-Well, that's vague.
-He needs more samples.

1397
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:20,689
Also, our guy is a pervert.

1398
01:20:21,733 --> 01:20:23,609
When Mel got the application
from Valley Springs,

1399
01:20:23,693 --> 01:20:25,986
they told him that
Allen had been fired for touching kids.

1400
01:20:26,071 --> 01:20:28,239
-Touching?
-Polite euphemism.

1401
01:20:29,866 --> 01:20:32,993
-So what do you want to do?
-Make some phone calls.

1402
01:20:33,078 --> 01:20:35,746
-Are you done with the fries?
-Go ahead.

1403
01:20:35,831 --> 01:20:37,289
ARMSTRONG ON PHONE: Did you and
Mr. Cheney have a chance

1404
01:20:37,374 --> 01:20:39,583
to look at the copies
ofthe Zodiac letters we sent you?

1405
01:20:39,668 --> 01:20:42,378
SANDY: Yeah.
Some of this stuff is pretty creepy.

1406
01:20:42,462 --> 01:20:45,589
-Yeah, we know that.
-l mean, creepy like Leigh.

1407
01:20:45,924 --> 01:20:48,467
He misspells words like that.
He thinks it's funny.

1408
01:20:48,552 --> 01:20:50,344
What about the handwriting?

1409
01:20:50,428 --> 01:20:53,389
I don't know.
Don't you have experts forthat stuff?

1410
01:20:53,473 --> 01:20:56,600
Our man at Questioned Documents
says it's inconclusive.

1411
01:20:56,685 --> 01:20:58,519
Maybe he did it with his other hand.

1412
01:20:58,603 --> 01:20:59,895
The letters are a little too neat

1413
01:20:59,980 --> 01:21:02,398
for someone to have written
with the wrong hand.

1414
01:21:02,482 --> 01:21:04,233
But not for Leigh, right.

1415
01:21:04,317 --> 01:21:06,235
-What do you mean?
-He's ambidextrous.

1416
01:21:06,319 --> 01:21:09,738
He can write with either hand.
Didn't you guys know that?

1417
01:21:09,823 --> 01:21:12,658
ln everyday life, Allen uses his left hand.

1418
01:21:12,742 --> 01:21:15,202
Job applications,
letters to friends, et cetera.

1419
01:21:15,287 --> 01:21:17,913
But he writes the Zodiac letters
with his right hand

1420
01:21:17,998 --> 01:21:21,792
producing a different handwriting
that he can't be linked to.

1421
01:21:22,252 --> 01:21:23,586
We got to see this guy, Chief.

1422
01:21:23,670 --> 01:21:24,879
-Where is he?
-ARMSTRONG: Vallejo.

1423
01:21:24,963 --> 01:21:28,048
He works at Union Oil in Pinole.
His brother's up there, too.

1424
01:21:28,133 --> 01:21:29,592
See them both.

1425
01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:32,177
Make sure you call Mulanax.
lt is his backyard.

1426
01:21:32,262 --> 01:21:35,431
Oh, right, because that
worked so well for us in Riverside.

01:21:56,328 --> 01:21:58,495

01:21:58,580 --> 01:22:02,249

This is lnspector Dave Toschi

in San Francisco and Vallejo.

Please, sit down.

01:22:38,453 --> 01:22:40,955
ARMSTRONG: The informant notified us
that you made certain statements

1439
01:22:41,039 --> 01:22:43,624
1 1 months prior
to the first Zodiac murder.

1440
01:22:43,708 --> 01:22:46,752
lf they're true,
they're quite incriminating.

1441
01:22:46,836 --> 01:22:49,088
Do you recall
having any such conversation?

1442
01:22:49,172 --> 01:22:50,297
-No.
-Have you ever read

1443
01:22:50,382 --> 01:22:52,341
or heard anything about the Zodiac?

1444
01:22:52,425 --> 01:22:53,676
When it was first in the paper.

1445
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,844
But l didn't follow it
after those first reports.

1446
01:22:55,929 --> 01:22:58,472
-ARMSTRONG: Why not?
-Too morbid. l...

1447
01:22:59,432 --> 01:23:02,267
l told all this to the other officer.

1448
01:23:02,352 --> 01:23:04,853
-Which other officer?
-From Vallejo.

1449
01:23:06,231 --> 01:23:07,690
Do you remember his name?

1450
01:23:07,774 --> 01:23:11,485
No, but it was right after
the murder at the lake.

1451
01:23:11,569 --> 01:23:14,071
And what did you tell this officer?

1452
01:23:15,657 --> 01:23:19,868
l told him that l'd gone to Salt Point
that weekend to skin dive.

1453
01:23:19,953 --> 01:23:22,788
That l was alone
but l met a couple there.

1454
01:23:23,957 --> 01:23:26,125
l have their names at home
ifyou want them.

1455
01:23:26,209 --> 01:23:27,835
That would be great, Arthur.

1456
01:23:27,919 --> 01:23:29,837
-Leigh.
-What?

1457
01:23:30,714 --> 01:23:33,257
Leigh. Nobody calls me Arthur.

1458
01:23:34,968 --> 01:23:38,387
Also, that day when l came home,
my neighbor saw me.

1459
01:23:38,471 --> 01:23:42,266
lt was around 4:00.
But l forgot to tell the other officer that.

1460
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:44,560
-Neighbor's name?
-Bill White.

1461
01:23:46,354 --> 01:23:48,147
He died a week or so afterwards.

1462
01:23:48,231 --> 01:23:51,650
Heart attack.
So l didn't think to call to follow up.

1463
01:23:53,778 --> 01:23:55,904
The knives l had in my car
with the blood on them,

1464
01:23:55,989 --> 01:23:59,575
that blood came from a chicken
that l killed for dinner.

1465
01:24:02,328 --> 01:24:05,164
-What?
-l had knives in my car that weekend.

1466
01:24:05,248 --> 01:24:09,543
Maybe Bill saw them
and called the other officer on me.

1467
01:24:10,128 --> 01:24:13,213
Well, we'll be checking in on that.

at any time in 1966?

the Riverside killing?

MULANAX: Yes.

1472
01:24:23,475 --> 01:24:25,726
Well, l guess l was there
around that time.

1473
01:24:25,810 --> 01:24:29,146
l used to go down there a lot.
l like the auto races.

1474
01:24:33,485 --> 01:24:35,903

you're ambidextrous?

1475

No, that's untrue.

01:24:38,031 --> 01:24:40,365
You can't write with both hands?

01:24:41,493 --> 01:24:44,578

when l was a kid, but l couldn't.

1478

l'm left-handed.

1479
01:24:46,873 --> 01:24:51,085

about killing school children.

1481
01:24:53,338 --> 01:24:56,632
That is horrible. That is...
That's a horrible thing to say.

tired of hunting animals,

01:27:00,340 --> 01:27:02,424
l look forward to the day

1516
01:27:02,508 --> 01:27:06,011
when police officers
are no longer referred to as pigs.

1517
01:27:06,971 --> 01:27:08,180
Thanks.

1518
01:27:09,307 --> 01:27:10,974
We'll be in touch.

1519
01:27:22,695 --> 01:27:26,823
So does anyone think this suspect
warrants further investigation?

1520
01:27:26,908 --> 01:27:27,908
ARMSTRONG: These are copies

1521
01:27:27,992 --> 01:27:30,744
of some of the Zodiac letters
that were sent.

1522
01:27:30,828 --> 01:27:33,747
We'd like you to take a look at them.

1523
01:27:33,831 --> 01:27:35,707
You think my brother's the Zodiac.

1524
01:27:35,792 --> 01:27:37,751
TOSCHl: Well, we're looking at him.

1525
01:27:37,835 --> 01:27:39,253
Are you going to arrest him?

1526
01:27:39,337 --> 01:27:43,257
Mrs. Allen, we don't arrest people
just because we're interested in them.

1527
01:27:43,341 --> 01:27:44,800
Well, Leigh's always been troubled.

1528
01:27:44,884 --> 01:27:47,135
ls it true about the children?

1529
01:27:47,679 --> 01:27:49,096
Unfortunately.

1530
01:27:49,180 --> 01:27:51,807
We don't see him much anymore
since we found out.

1531
01:27:51,891 --> 01:27:53,934
What are your feelings
about Don Cheney?

1532
01:27:54,018 --> 01:27:56,353
Don Cheney? My old roommate?

1533
01:27:56,437 --> 01:27:59,439
-Was he the one who contacted you?
-That's confidential.

1534
01:27:59,524 --> 01:28:01,066
Well, Don's a very reliable guy.

1535
01:28:01,150 --> 01:28:04,236
lf he were to tell you something,
l'd believe it to be true.

1536
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,487
-This one.
-What about it?

1537
01:28:05,571 --> 01:28:07,739
Here, where he spells
"Christmas" with two "S's."

1538
01:28:07,824 --> 01:28:09,658
We got a Christmas card from Leigh
a couple years ago.

1539
01:28:09,742 --> 01:28:12,911
He spelled it the exact same way.
Christ-mass.

1540
01:28:12,996 --> 01:28:15,747
-Would you still have that?
-l can look for it.

1541
01:28:15,832 --> 01:28:17,958
Thank you. That'd be great.

1542
01:28:19,043 --> 01:28:21,128
ls there anything else
we can do to help?

1543
01:28:21,212 --> 01:28:22,838
TOSCHI: The brother said
he would search Leigh's apartment

1544
01:28:22,922 --> 01:28:24,172
next time he went out of town.

1545
01:28:24,257 --> 01:28:26,508
-That gets you around a warrant.
-For the time being.

1546
01:28:26,592 --> 01:28:29,845
lfwe do find something,
Mulanax will go to the DA in Vallejo,

1547
01:28:29,929 --> 01:28:31,680
and we could search the place properly.

1548
01:28:31,764 --> 01:28:33,265
Now l got a chance to talk to the cop

1549
01:28:33,349 --> 01:28:36,226
who interviewed Leigh Allen
two days after the Berryessa murders.

1550
01:28:36,311 --> 01:28:38,020
Doesn't remember how he got onto him,

1551
01:28:38,104 --> 01:28:41,148
but didn't think he looked like a killer
so he didn't like him for Z.

1552
01:28:41,232 --> 01:28:44,067
-But you do?
-l wish l could've taken the guy in there.

1553
01:28:44,152 --> 01:28:47,112
Take it slow, Dave.
Try and find more stuff for Sherwood.

1554
01:28:47,196 --> 01:28:49,239
A match'll get us farther
on the warrants.

1555
01:28:49,324 --> 01:28:52,451
-Avery's on two.
-Tell him to screw.

1556
01:28:52,535 --> 01:28:56,872
You want me to communicate that
verbatim or can l spice it up a little?

1557
01:29:04,422 --> 01:29:05,422
(KNOCKlNG)

1558
01:29:06,632 --> 01:29:08,091
Christ, kid.

1559
01:29:09,594 --> 01:29:10,677
Yeah.

1560
01:29:10,762 --> 01:29:13,096
-Paul, l've been thinking...
-Oh, God save us all.

1561
01:29:13,181 --> 01:29:14,556
The letter to Melvin Belli

1562
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:17,601
was sent exactly one year
after the Lake Herman Road murder.

1563
01:29:17,685 --> 01:29:19,436
And the one to Cheri Jo Bates' father

1564
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,897
was sent exactly six months
after her death.

1565
01:29:21,981 --> 01:29:24,316
-She was killed a day before Halloween.
-Yeah.

1566
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:25,901
And you received a Halloween card...

1567
01:29:25,985 --> 01:29:28,612
You know, these are all fascinating
pieces of news, Robert,

1568
01:29:28,696 --> 01:29:30,655
it's a bit early in the day.

1569
01:29:30,740 --> 01:29:33,617
Paul, it's 1 1 :00 and we missed Editorial.

1570
01:29:38,164 --> 01:29:40,207
-l'm sorry. l didn't mean to wake you up.
-No, no, no.

1571
01:29:40,291 --> 01:29:41,541
-l just thought that...
-No, no, no.

1572
01:29:47,131 --> 01:29:49,508
This suspect is not your Zodiac.

1573
01:29:51,594 --> 01:29:54,137
This sample matches the canceled
checks and the application?

1574
01:29:54,222 --> 01:29:55,222
Perfectly.

1575
01:29:55,306 --> 01:29:58,558
So we've just retested the left hand.
l mean, we know he's ambidextrous.

1576
01:29:58,643 --> 01:30:01,895
ln 38 years, l've never seen anyone
that ambidextrous.

1577
01:30:01,979 --> 01:30:04,481
Both hands would have commonalities.

1578
01:30:04,816 --> 01:30:06,149
l'm sorry.

1579
01:30:06,609 --> 01:30:08,360
Just not gonna work.

1580
01:30:08,444 --> 01:30:10,195
(PHONE RINGING)

1581
01:30:10,279 --> 01:30:12,697
-TOSCHI: Homicide, Toschi.
-Dave, it's Jack Mulanax.

1582
01:30:12,782 --> 01:30:14,908
(WHlSPERlNG) Hey. Mulanax. Yeah.

1583
01:30:14,992 --> 01:30:16,410
We struck out with thejudge.

1584
01:30:16,494 --> 01:30:18,161
He won't sign off on a warrant
for Allen's house.

1585
01:30:18,246 --> 01:30:20,288
-Why not?
-Said it wasn't enough.

1586
01:30:20,373 --> 01:30:22,749
Now, unless we bring him a handwriting
match or some evidence that...

1587
01:30:22,834 --> 01:30:25,210
How are we gonna get evidence
ifwe can't toss the house?

1588
01:30:25,294 --> 01:30:26,753
I don't know.

1589
01:30:27,296 --> 01:30:30,215
-l truly am sorry.
-No, no. Thank you, Jack.

1590
01:30:32,093 --> 01:30:33,176
What do you wanna do?

1591
01:30:33,261 --> 01:30:34,594
Don't knowwhat l can do
without Vallejo.

1592
01:30:34,679 --> 01:30:37,556
We need Allen's right hand.
We can't get it without a warrant.

1593
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:39,766
Are there other guys
you should be looking at?

1594
01:30:39,851 --> 01:30:41,768
(SCOFFS) Only, what?

1595
01:30:41,853 --> 01:30:43,770
Twenty-three hundred?

1596
01:30:43,855 --> 01:30:49,734
Okay, then.

1597
01:31:17,638 --> 01:31:20,307
Paul, you wrote the Justice Department

1598
01:31:20,391 --> 01:31:23,768
asking to be put in charge
of the Zodiac investigation?

1599
01:31:25,771 --> 01:31:27,689
l merely suggested...

1600
01:31:27,773 --> 01:31:28,982
On our letterhead?

1601
01:31:29,066 --> 01:31:31,151
...that those with intimate knowledge
of the case

1602
01:31:31,235 --> 01:31:33,153
create an information clearinghouse

1603
01:31:33,237 --> 01:31:35,405
to promote an exchange
and free flow of ideas.

1604
01:31:35,490 --> 01:31:38,575
-And that you run it.
-Well, who better than me?

1605
01:31:39,619 --> 01:31:41,203
The marked man.

1606
01:31:41,913 --> 01:31:43,830
Paul, ifyou want to work here,
l need three things.

1607
01:31:43,915 --> 01:31:45,415
One, stop boozing.

1608
01:31:45,500 --> 01:31:48,668
Two, stop doing
whatever else it is you're doing.

1609
01:31:48,753 --> 01:31:52,297
And three, cut this nonsense out.

1610
01:31:52,381 --> 01:31:55,467
Sweetest of Templetons, if at any time

1611
01:31:55,551 --> 01:32:00,764
you feel my excellent work is no longer
in step with this trashy provincial rag,

1612
01:32:00,848 --> 01:32:02,516
l'll more than happily...

1613
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,102
More than happily
decamp for greener pastures.

1614
01:32:06,187 --> 01:32:07,812
Paul, l mean it!

1615
01:32:07,897 --> 01:32:09,564
(DOOR BANGS SHUT)

1616
01:32:17,990 --> 01:32:19,866
-Paul?
-Yep.

1617
01:32:19,951 --> 01:32:23,203
-What was that?
-An editorial tête-à-tête.

1618
01:32:24,330 --> 01:32:26,456
-Wanna grab a drink?
-lt's 10:00 in the morning.

1619
01:32:26,541 --> 01:32:28,375
Late breakfast?

1620
01:32:29,377 --> 01:32:31,503
-Early lunch, or...
-Paul.

1621
01:32:33,965 --> 01:32:35,465
Are you okay?

1622
01:32:36,300 --> 01:32:37,342
No.

1623
01:32:40,763 --> 01:32:42,597
Thank you for asking.

1624
01:32:44,809 --> 01:32:46,935
Shorty! Let's go out for one.

1625
01:32:47,019 --> 01:32:49,062
Paul, where are you going?

1626
01:32:51,107 --> 01:32:52,691
CATHERINE: So,
you moved off my brother-in-law?

1627
01:32:53,651 --> 01:32:55,652
We couldn't get a warrant.

1628
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,740
Last yearwe arranged for Leigh
to get help from a social worker.

1629
01:33:00,825 --> 01:33:02,450
He only went twice.

1630
01:33:02,535 --> 01:33:05,537
We saw him recently for
the first time in nine months.

1631
01:33:05,621 --> 01:33:08,748
My mother-in-law brought him by
to see the new baby.

1632
01:33:08,833 --> 01:33:12,168
After he left,
l went to see that social worker.

1633
01:33:12,253 --> 01:33:15,589
He couldn't talk about a former patient,
so l just asked him straight out

1634
01:33:15,673 --> 01:33:17,882
if he thought Leigh
was capable of killing people.

1635
01:33:17,967 --> 01:33:21,219
-Because of patient confidentiality...
-The man said yes.

1636
01:33:23,014 --> 01:33:25,223
Why hadn't you seen him
in nine months?

1637
01:33:25,308 --> 01:33:27,225
He's going to school in Santa Rosa.

1638
01:33:27,310 --> 01:33:30,645
-Santa Rosa? Where is he living?
-ln his trailer.

1639
01:33:30,730 --> 01:33:32,772
-ln Santa Rosa?
-Sonoma County.

1640
01:33:32,857 --> 01:33:35,108
We wouldn't have to go
through the Vallejo DA.

1641
01:33:35,192 --> 01:33:36,693
lt's been 1 1 months
since you talked to this guy,

1642
01:33:36,777 --> 01:33:38,320
and now you wanna search his trailer?

1643
01:33:38,404 --> 01:33:40,196
lfwe find something, great.

1644
01:33:40,281 --> 01:33:43,450
lf not, we get his prints and
handwriting samples from both hands.

1645
01:33:43,534 --> 01:33:45,952
l thought Sherwood shut you down.

1646
01:33:46,662 --> 01:33:49,164
What if l can get a second opinion?

1647
01:33:50,291 --> 01:33:52,292
l don't wanna step on Sherwood's toes.
He trained me at this.

1648
01:33:52,376 --> 01:33:55,170
Terry, all l need to know
is if the suspect is ambidextrous.

1649
01:33:55,254 --> 01:33:59,257
Could he possibly have written
those letters with his other hand?

1650
01:34:00,926 --> 01:34:02,302
Between you and me?

1651
01:34:02,386 --> 01:34:05,889
Because there are differing
schools of thought on this.

1652
01:34:07,058 --> 01:34:11,478
Get the samples of his other hand.
lf he's the Zodiac, you'll get a match.

1653
01:34:11,562 --> 01:34:14,147
ARMSTRONG: That's the current
thinking, according to Terry Pascoe.

1654
01:34:14,231 --> 01:34:17,525
Meanwhile, l spoke to a psychologist
who'd be willing to testify

1655
01:34:17,610 --> 01:34:20,612
that someone who undergoes
a personality change like Zodiac

1656
01:34:20,696 --> 01:34:23,657
would manifest it physically,
altering his handwriting.

1657
01:34:23,741 --> 01:34:27,327
Which is why Sherwood couldn't
get a match from Allen's samples.

1658
01:34:27,411 --> 01:34:29,663
We got Terry Pascoe,
this psychology guy,

1659
01:34:29,747 --> 01:34:31,122
coupled with Cheney...

1660
01:34:31,207 --> 01:34:32,666
lt could be enough for a warrant.

1661
01:34:32,750 --> 01:34:33,917
Get Cheney on the record.

1662
01:34:34,168 --> 01:34:37,253
"And that he would call himself Zodiac."

1663
01:34:38,339 --> 01:34:39,381
Yes.

1664
01:34:39,465 --> 01:34:43,051
And you're willing to swear
to this, under oath, in Superior Court?

1665
01:34:43,135 --> 01:34:44,552
Without any hesitation.

1666
01:34:44,637 --> 01:34:46,846
Thank you very much, Mr. Cheney.
Thank you very much for your time.

1667
01:34:46,931 --> 01:34:47,931
Thank you.

1668
01:34:48,015 --> 01:34:49,849
Suspect is Arthur Leigh Allen.

1669
01:34:49,934 --> 01:34:53,687
Lives in Sunset Trailer Court
in Santa Rosa, California.

1670
01:34:53,771 --> 01:34:55,355
Physical description.

1671
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:57,691
Allen is similar in height,
weight and build

1672
01:34:57,775 --> 01:35:00,860
to a man seen at Lake Berryessa
on the day of the stabbings.

1673
01:35:00,945 --> 01:35:03,780
JOHN: I understand he doesn't look
much like the San Francisco composite.

1674
01:35:03,864 --> 01:35:05,407
True. Height and weight are sketchy,

1675
01:35:05,491 --> 01:35:07,701
but lumbering Caucasian
with a crew cut is right on.

1676
01:35:07,785 --> 01:35:10,120
We never had much confidence
in the composite from the kids.

1677
01:35:10,204 --> 01:35:12,205
The patrolman
who saw Zodiac that night

1678
01:35:12,289 --> 01:35:13,790
said he didn't look much like the sketch.

1679
01:35:13,874 --> 01:35:15,375

firearms. We'll list them in the warrant.

-And the ciphers.
-Could be code training in the Navy,

1685

with ciphers in the past.

Really? Who?

1687
01:35:34,103 --> 01:35:36,896
That would be his sister-in-law
and a man named Phil Tucker

1688
01:35:36,981 --> 01:35:39,315
that he worked with
at a public pool in Vallejo.

1689
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:42,902
And Phil Tucker told us about
a conversation that he had with Allen

1690

about how to attach a flashlight
to the barrel of a gun.

1691

01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:56,291
and was fired for molestation
in March, April '68.

1695

-Could give him motive.
-At the very least, it's home turf.

1696
01:35:59,128 --> 01:36:01,212
He'd have knowledge of bus routes,

1697

centered around.

that the two kids were stabbed

in his truck

to kill a chicken.

1706

to produce the names

that's Vallejo's case.

2015
01:56:53,423 --> 01:56:56,216
Paul Stine is mine.
You've got four minutes now.

2016
01:56:56,300 --> 01:56:58,635
Darlene Ferrin was being followed.

2017
01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:00,512
Now, l know Mulanax says
that they already found this guy,

2018
01:57:00,596 --> 01:57:01,596
a George Waters?

2019
01:57:01,681 --> 01:57:03,515
But he also said
that she had a lot of admirers

2020
01:57:03,599 --> 01:57:05,225
who would come to
the restaurant where she worked.

2021
01:57:05,309 --> 01:57:06,935
-She was popular.
-Very.

2022
01:57:07,020 --> 01:57:08,687
Yeah. So...

2023
01:57:08,771 --> 01:57:10,689
She and her husband,
they move into their new house,

2024
01:57:10,773 --> 01:57:12,441
and one night they throw
this painting party.

2025
01:57:12,525 --> 01:57:13,650
And what's a painting party?

2026
01:57:13,735 --> 01:57:15,694
lt's a party where people come
and help you paint.

2027
01:57:15,778 --> 01:57:16,903
Sounds like a terrible party.

2028
01:57:16,988 --> 01:57:20,782
Well, supposedly,
somebody who's not Waters shows up.

2029
01:57:20,867 --> 01:57:22,743
And Darlene is terrified of him.

2030
01:57:22,827 --> 01:57:24,578
So you think that Darlene knew Zodiac?

2031
01:57:24,662 --> 01:57:29,166
And if Zodiac knew Darlene,
then maybe Mageau knows Zodiac.

2032
01:57:29,250 --> 01:57:31,084
Maybe. But Mageau's gone.

2033
01:57:31,169 --> 01:57:32,794
So ifyou wanna connect
Darlene to Zodiac,

2034
01:57:32,879 --> 01:57:34,296
you're gonna have to find anotherway.

2035
01:57:34,380 --> 01:57:35,714
l have anotherway.

2036
01:57:35,798 --> 01:57:37,424
Phone calls the night
of Darlene's murder.

2037
01:57:37,508 --> 01:57:40,635
-Yeah, Zodiac called the police.
-No, Dave, there were four other calls.

2038
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:43,055
There were two to Darlene's house,
one to Darlene's brother-in-law,

2039
01:57:43,139 --> 01:57:45,432
and one to Darlene's father-in-law.
Just heavy breathing.

2040
01:57:45,516 --> 01:57:47,392
They started around 1 :30 a.m.,

2041
01:57:47,477 --> 01:57:51,146
and this was before anyone in the family
knew that Darlene had been shot.

2042
01:57:51,230 --> 01:57:53,356
-This was in the Vallejo files?
-Yeah.

2043
01:57:53,441 --> 01:57:54,483
God damn it.

2044
01:57:54,567 --> 01:57:56,318
lt's got to be more
than just a coincidence, right?

2045
01:57:56,402 --> 01:57:59,279
l mean, somebody doesn'tjust randomly
prank phone call a victim's entire family

2046
01:57:59,363 --> 01:58:01,406
90 minutes after they were shot.

2047
01:58:01,491 --> 01:58:03,575
So, either Zodiac shoots
a random couple,

2048
01:58:03,659 --> 01:58:05,202
then he recognizes Darlene...

2049
01:58:05,286 --> 01:58:07,287
Or Darlene was shot on purpose.

2050
01:58:07,371 --> 01:58:10,624
Eitherway,
Zodiac had to have known Darlene.

2051
01:58:12,502 --> 01:58:14,252
That's good, Robert.

2052
01:58:14,712 --> 01:58:17,923
So, l can't find Mageau,
so maybe l can find Darlene's sister.

2053
01:58:18,007 --> 01:58:19,925
And maybe she can tell me
who this mystery man is.

2054
01:58:20,009 --> 01:58:22,844
Try that. l've got to go. She's very cute.

2055
01:58:26,724 --> 01:58:28,266
You know,

2056
01:58:28,351 --> 01:58:31,728
it's interesting that you should mention
Zodiac calling people at home.

2057
01:58:31,813 --> 01:58:33,271
He did that in San Francisco once.

2058
01:58:33,356 --> 01:58:34,856
What? Who did he call?

2059
01:58:34,941 --> 01:58:38,026
l can't tell you.
That's privileged information.

2060
01:58:38,653 --> 01:58:40,862
But maybe Melvin Belli could.

2061
01:58:43,491 --> 01:58:45,033
Melvin Belli.

2062
01:58:45,952 --> 01:58:48,245
How do l get to Melvin Belli?

2063
01:58:48,329 --> 01:58:51,331
-He should be along soon.
-Oh, that's all right.

2064
01:58:51,415 --> 01:58:53,792
l've really...
l've only been waiting two hours, so...

2065
01:58:53,876 --> 01:58:55,752
He's usually not this late.

2066
01:58:55,837 --> 01:58:58,630
Oh, cookies. Thank you.
These look great.

2067
01:58:59,423 --> 01:59:03,343
-You are here on business?
-l'm writing a book about the Zodiac.

2068
01:59:03,427 --> 01:59:06,388
l remember that. l spoke to him.

2069
01:59:06,472 --> 01:59:11,101
-You mean to Mr. Belli about the case?
-No, to the Zodiac when he called.

2070
01:59:11,185 --> 01:59:14,479
He said he had to kill
because it was his birthday.

2071
01:59:14,564 --> 01:59:17,816
He said it... Wait.
He said it was his birthday?

2072
01:59:17,900 --> 01:59:20,485
Yes. You want something to drink?

2073
01:59:21,487 --> 01:59:25,532
-(STUTTERlNG) When was this?
-Oh, so many years ago.

2074
01:59:27,201 --> 01:59:29,786
Mr. Belli was away for Christmas.

2075
01:59:29,871 --> 01:59:31,121
Gone for a week.

2076
01:59:31,205 --> 01:59:33,540
The Zodiac called,
wanting to talk to him.

2077
01:59:33,624 --> 01:59:35,333
l said, "He is not here."

2078
01:59:35,418 --> 01:59:38,336
He said, "l have to kill.
Today is my birthday."

2079
01:59:38,421 --> 01:59:40,380
And then he hangs up.

2080
01:59:40,464 --> 01:59:42,007
Then the letter arrived.

2081
01:59:42,091 --> 01:59:46,136
So, the call came
before the letter of December 20th.

2082
01:59:46,220 --> 01:59:48,180
Mr. Belli was gone for a week?

2083
01:59:48,264 --> 01:59:52,017
He came back on Christmas.
Not a good day to work.

2084
01:59:52,101 --> 01:59:54,060
So, he left on the 18th.

2085
01:59:55,229 --> 01:59:56,688

2086
01:59:56,772 --> 01:59:58,231
She said it was his birthday.

confirm that, now wouldn't you?

2089
02:00:03,738 --> 02:00:06,865
Well, I never spoke to her,
but maybe my partner did.

2090
02:00:06,949 --> 02:00:09,784
-How do l get a hold of him?
-You don't. Bill wanted out ofthis.

2091
02:00:09,869 --> 02:00:12,162

he should stay out.

(STAMMERlNG) How do l confirm it?

2093
02:00:13,623 --> 02:00:16,166
Well, if my partner
did talk to someone from Justice,

2094
02:00:16,250 --> 02:00:17,834
then they would've had
to put that in a report.

2095
02:00:17,919 --> 02:00:20,212

Let's say this phone call did take place.

Let's say it really was Zodiac.

2103
02:00:35,519 --> 02:00:38,313
Why would he volunteer
the day he was born?

2104
02:00:38,397 --> 02:00:40,565
Plus, nobody died on December 18th,

2105
02:00:40,650 --> 02:00:43,443
just like nobody died over the weekend
when he was gonna kill a dozen people,

orwhen he was gonna
shoot school kids or blow up buses.

2107

He's a liar, Mr. Graysmith.

What if he made a mistake?

2109

What if he wasn't lying?
What if it was him on the phone?

2110
02:00:51,327 --> 02:00:53,745
He didn't expect to pick it up,

we know about Zodiac?

Couple years back,
l was trying to get Marshall's prints.

l handed him a photo.

2201

He looks at it. He's about to give it back
and he stops and he says,

"My goodness,
l got fingerprints all over this."

2203
02:05:31,607 --> 02:05:33,483
And he wipes them off.

2204
02:05:34,193 --> 02:05:35,902
Why didn't you test him for handwriting?

2205
02:05:35,986 --> 02:05:38,655
Because when they finally
did run his prints,

2206
02:05:38,739 --> 02:05:41,032
they cleared him
against the one in Stine's cab.

No. What do you mean?

lf he had the foresight
to bring gloves with him,

2211

how the hell's he gonna
accidentally leave a print behind?

2212
02:05:52,127 --> 02:05:54,170
But it was in the victim's blood.

2213
02:05:54,255 --> 02:05:55,588
Could have been one of the bystanders,

2214
02:05:55,673 --> 02:05:58,049
or a cop just reaches out,
boom, false print.

2215
02:05:58,133 --> 02:06:00,552
Yeah, but that print
disqualified 2,500 suspects.

at a silent film theater.

Well, then, how do l get copies
of Rick Marshall's handwriting?

Three ways.
One, get a warrant, which you can't.

that he thinks not only
is this new letter a forgery,

2304

Maupin, a very well-respected author,
has gone on record saying

2307
02:10:24,691 --> 02:10:29,320
that he believes Toschi wrote the letter
to drum up publicity for himself.

as a character in his column.

David got a kick out of it

2311
02:10:34,576 --> 02:10:36,577

a couple of anonymous letters

to be brought back.

a lot of boys around,

2516

And this one guy was weird, though.

2517
02:23:28,558 --> 02:23:31,935
He used to bring her presents
from Tijuana and...

2518
02:23:33,146 --> 02:23:35,772
l don't knowwhy
she was friends with him.

2519
02:23:35,857 --> 02:23:38,317

Really?

2521
02:23:40,069 --> 02:23:42,279
Yeah, l think maybe
when he was in the service.

-Navy?
-l think so.

Was he a movie buff?

he was not into people.

The party Darlene threw,

just show up and drink beer, help paint.

2527

all by himself all night long.

to stay away from him.

Yeah, fine, it's his protégé,

but he's a handwriting expert
nonetheless, and he's saying,

"Do not disqualify this suspect
on the basis of handwriting."

"and moved it to Santa Rosa

Okay, Arthur Leigh Allen
and the Zodiac, their timelines.

2664
02:31:21,822 --> 02:31:24,574
-When was the first murder in Vallejo?
-Christmas, 1968.

2665
02:31:24,658 --> 02:31:27,243
Eight months before that,
Allen is fired for molesting his students

2666
02:31:27,328 --> 02:31:29,454
and his family discovers
that he's a pedophile.

2667
02:31:29,538 --> 02:31:31,873
-Now, when do the letters begin?
-July, '69.

2668
02:31:31,957 --> 02:31:33,625
After the murder of Darlene Ferrin.

2669
02:31:33,709 --> 02:31:36,795
And they continue
until you go to see him at work.

2670
02:31:36,879 --> 02:31:40,131
Now, after that, do any of the letters
contain swatches of Paul Stine's shirt?

2671
02:31:40,216 --> 02:31:42,050
No. Because he dumped them,
because he got scared.

2672
02:31:42,134 --> 02:31:43,885
Because he knew
that you were on to him.

2673
02:31:43,969 --> 02:31:47,722
-So, when's the next letter from Zodiac?
-Not until January of 1974.

2674
02:31:47,807 --> 02:31:49,224
He is silent for three years.

2675
02:31:49,308 --> 02:31:51,101
Then, in '74, he feels comfortable again

2676
02:31:51,185 --> 02:31:53,103
because everybody's moved off
Allen as a suspect.

2677
02:31:53,187 --> 02:31:54,187
And what do we get?

2678
02:31:54,271 --> 02:31:58,274
Three new letters from Zodiac
in January, May, and July in '74.

2679
02:31:58,359 --> 02:32:01,528
-But then the letters stop.
-What happens to Allen?

2680
02:32:05,032 --> 02:32:06,533
He's arrested.

2681
02:32:07,409 --> 02:32:10,787
January, 1975,
they send him to Atascadero.

2682
02:32:10,871 --> 02:32:13,790
We don't get another letter from Zodiac
the entire time he's there.

2683
02:32:13,874 --> 02:32:16,501
-When is he released?
-August, '77.

2684
02:32:16,585 --> 02:32:20,338
Allen gets out. He types you an apology,
and then what?

2685
02:32:20,422 --> 02:32:23,633
We get our first new Zodiac letter
in four years.

2686
02:32:29,223 --> 02:32:32,642
Okay. Zodiac had to have known
Darlene Ferrin, right?

2687
02:32:32,726 --> 02:32:34,978
Yes, because of the phone calls
on the night of her murder.

2688
02:32:35,062 --> 02:32:37,856
Because of the Vallejo file,

2689
02:32:37,940 --> 02:32:39,983
we know that Darlene knew
a man named Leigh?

2690
02:32:40,067 --> 02:32:41,067
Yes.

2691
02:32:41,152 --> 02:32:42,944
So, all coincidence aside, Robert,

2692
02:32:43,028 --> 02:32:45,822
how can you be sure that Leigh Allen
is the Leigh from this file?

2693
02:32:45,906 --> 02:32:48,408
Now, Vallejo is a small town,
but it's not that small.

2694
02:32:48,492 --> 02:32:49,826
How do you put
the two of them together?

2695
02:32:49,910 --> 02:32:53,079
This is a case that's covered
both Northern and Southern California,

2696
02:32:53,164 --> 02:32:55,540
with victims and suspects
spread over hundreds of miles.

2697
02:32:55,624 --> 02:32:57,417
-Would you agree?
-Yes.

2698
02:32:58,627 --> 02:33:01,462
Darlene Ferrin worked
at the Vallejo House of Pancakes

2699
02:33:01,547 --> 02:33:04,090
on the corner of Tennessee and Caroll.

2700
02:33:06,886 --> 02:33:11,639
Arthur Leigh Allen lived in his
mother's basement on Fresno Street.

2701
02:33:13,350 --> 02:33:16,769
Door to door, that is less than 50 yards.

2702
02:33:20,149 --> 02:33:21,649
ls that true?

2703

2705
02:33:36,123 --> 02:33:37,165
So?

2706
02:33:41,086 --> 02:33:42,670
The prints, the handwriting...

2707
02:33:42,755 --> 02:33:45,757
-l'm not asking you as a cop.
-But l am a cop.

2708
02:33:48,594 --> 02:33:50,637
l can't prove this.

2709
02:33:50,721 --> 02:33:53,681
Just because you can't prove it,
doesn't mean it's not true.

2710
02:33:53,766 --> 02:33:55,433
Easy, Dirty Harry.

2711
02:33:58,979 --> 02:34:00,563

2738
