Hi. I'm Darla Jones

[Darla Jones]

I have just started looking into the Zodiac Killer, and I am amazed at the amount of physical evidence available for researchers on this case. This guy was a true nut case and he was/is beyond scary. Those letters are very interesting and telling, and have some ideas about them. I'll post them in the appropriate threads.

Welcome to our Z forum. Noticed your "little girl" Avator photo & was curious of the meaning behind it. Much thanks, Zam*

The photo is of Darla Hood from Our Gang (The Little Rascals). I'm a long time researcher the ONS cold case board. A few years ago, for some reason, when it was run by A&E, there was a software "glitch" which erased my account. I could not restart it as the old name, so I had to create the Darla Jones identification.

There are some ONS threads on here, and I know AK Wilks has researched the case. Do you think ONS is related to the Z case? I personally doubt it, but then again, the bouncing back and forth between the Bay area and Lompoc area, sort of mirrors possible Zodiac activity between the bay area and Lompoc in 63(Domingos/Edwards case)

ONS has been identified by DNA in four Goleta and two Ventura Murders, as well as in two murders in Irvine and two in Dana Point. In the bay area, he was strictly a rapist, attacking 50 women in their homes (and he may have shot two more people in Sacramento and one in Visalia).

So far, my POI for EAR/ONS/GSK is not Ted Kaczynski, but I'm starting to think that he's either an accomplice or he's responsible for contacting the media and taking credit for the EAR attacks. The "EAR" map that was found recently in the police files of the Danville, CA PD and recently published in LA Magazine, was found in 1979 in a wire bound notebook on the ground. Dogs had tracked the EAR's scent to where an apparent get away car was. A map, some writings about Custer, the "Mad is the word" essay were among the items found in the notebook. This was the last attack in Danville. After that he moved to Santa Barbara and started killing. The writings found look like they were from high school or younger and the handwriting is nothing like Kaczynski's (or the Zodiac's handwriting.) However, I just recently looked up the address of the location of Kaczynski's parents' house in Lombard, IL and it looks amazingly similar to the neighborhood depicted on the EAR map. In my mind, this is either the coolest coincidence in the history of the planet or it's a significant clue.

Wow! That is really interesting. I only looked at CA areas for map comps, I never thought to look in Illinois.

Very interesting similarity! I also saw the map you (I think it was you) posted at the EAR/ONS/GSK probaord. That map was of Woodridge, Illinois, which is only 15 minutes from Lombard. But I think this one is even closer. And whoever drew it was probably going from memory, which could account for some of the differences.

We have a TK suspect section here. Could you post one or both maps along with the GSK map here: viewtopic.php?f=102&t=1220

We also have a section for the EAR/ONS case non-specific to TK or any named suspect. See viewtopic.php?f=99&t=921&hilit=ONS

Thanks!

Welcome aboard.

Don't think it's too similar.. The map is quite detailled..
