Santa Cruz has an art store that is still in business today. Check out their ad from around the time of the Zodiac Halloween card.

I know this is far fetched, but I found this comment interesting and the Santa Cruz part made me think of Ross. I was reading an article about Donna Lass and the person that wrote the Montana Connection started promoting his book in the comment section. This was another persons commented added. It makes me wonder if Ross's cause of death was a cover up?? Sorry my attachments are always large. I don't know how to make them smaller.

Susie, that statement sounds familiar for some reason, but Ross was not 'killed', he died of natural causes. 'Killed' makes it sound as if there was a shootout, etc.

I know that's why I said his cause if death would have been a coverup. I know it's unluckily, but I have been trying to find cases online of a police involved shooting in Santa Cruz and I'm not coming up with anything.

I did find this info though. It's about Santa Cruz being the "Murder capital of the world" in the 70s.

There's a link at the bottom for part two but I can't find part three. I know it's not the right thread I'll post it under the non-zodiac crimes thread too.

Killed could also mean killed in a car crash etc

On 10/18/76, there was a story in the Santa Cruz Sentinel about a man being shot and killed by police in the town of Monticello.

Also, in the 3/10/75 paper, a man from Santa Cruz named, Harold S. Vyeda was shot and killed by police.

You know what I learned this week, that in the late 60s and early 70s Santa Cruz was considered the "murder capital of the world" (more figuratively than literally) because there were THREE renown serial killers from there over a short span of time. The 1987 movie, THE LOST BOYS, which takes place in Santa Cruz, alludes to this. Santa Cruz is not a big city, in 1970 it had a population just over 30,000. So it's weird that three, and potentially a fourth, serial killers lived in the same city.

The three killers were...

1) Herbet Mullin

2) Edward Kemper III

3) John Linley Frazier (who also left a note)

Lost Boys is a great flick!! Ed Kemper had a horrible temper.

This is info on Ross Sullivans family´, and I am 100 % sure it is the correct family:

His father was Harold R Sullivan born 1913 died Aug 30 1968.

His grand father and grandmother was Daniel L Sullivan and Rose Sullivan (Nee Laubscer)

The rest you can find in the news-clips above and in the aunts obit.

NOTE that in Ross´s father Harols R Sullivan´s obit it says that he had FOUR sons !!! so we still need to find out who the fouth son is?
