The Great Zodiac Killer Hoax of 1969

Thomas Horan has published a short ebook entitled The Great Zodiac Hoax of 1969. The current version of the book is heavily redacted starting from, approximately, the two-thirds point.

Thumbnail image for Reaction to Lyndon Lafferty’s Book

I’ve finally had an opportunity to read Lyndon Lafferty’s book, cover to cover. In a nutshell, it just doesn’t work for me. He has not presented any evidence that works to my satisfaction and, therefore, I cannot recommend it to anyone interested in the factual side of the Zodiac saga. It does,  however, hold some interesting moments as a kind [...]

The NBC Today Show is the latest entity to drink the Kool-Aid of Lyndon Lafferty’s book: The Zodiac Killer Cover-Up: The Silenced Badge. This segment is from yesterday’s show (May 26, 2012). The inability of media to differentiate between meaningful vs. unmeaningful developments in the case of the Zodiac Killer leaves me feeling more pessimistic than [...]

1969 – The Year Everything Changed

1969 - The Year Everything Changed
