Thanks for the welcomes. I don't remember Dee because I was only around 4-years-old at the time. I can only relay what my parents spoke of her. A few days before Dee's tragic death, my father said he won her a stuff animal at the Solano County Fair. I do remember being afraid of trick-a-treating, school buses, and petrified when driving on Columbus Parkway past Blue Rock Springs thinking I would be murdered by the Zodiac. Blue Rock springs with its brightly colored peacocks, snack bar, ferris wheel was a favorite amongst Vallejo's children. Being a Vallejo child of the sixties during that time, the Zodiac most certainly robbed us of our youth.
Many of the people directly related to the Zodiac victims pretty much drifted a part and buried the tragedy--it simply felt better to forget. At least for my family it was. There are few--perhaps suffering from munchausen-- individuals out there who wanted to profit from the murders and deliberately misled law enforcement with outrages stories. Sadly, outrages stories--i.e. satanic cults ects-- was condoned and encouraged by the media. Back then there was no protection or rights for victims. As a result, my family quit talking.
