introducing myself

Hi everyone,
I just recently joined this site. Actually this is the first time I have ever joined a site about this subject or any subject. I am not really into social media. I have never had a Facebook account, twitter account or any other type of social media account. Hopefully I won't screw up too bad on my postings. I have always been interested in crime. Especially this case. I still have the yellow book written by Graysmith. I haven't read any of his other books.

I am 57 years old. Formerly born and raised in Iowa. Haven't lived there since I joined the army in 1976. I served 20 years, 8 months and 13 days. I was also in the first Gulf War to get Saddam out of Kuwait. During my time in the Army I had two Military Occupational Specialties: 11B-Infantry and 71D-Legal. I belonged to the Staff Judge Advocate General's Corps. I spent some time working in legal assistance which dealt with powers-of-attorney, wills, consumer advice, separation agreements, etc and claims against the US Government. I also spent about a year in military intelligence. Most of my career was In military criminal law dealing with AWOL's, deserters, disrespect, disobedience, drug use, drug distribution, robbery, assaults, child molestation, attempted murder and murder.

Back in the 70's and 80's I was more interested in the Zodiac case but seemed to forget about it over the years. When my two sons were younger I home schooled them. I taught them about some of the serial killers like John Wayne Gacy, the night stalker Richard Ramirez, etc. Never about Zodiac though. He wasn't even on my mind. That changed in 2001 when my wife met an elderly man online. Over time I had a feeling he could be Zodiac. Especially after his death in 2009. I have possession of some of his personal belongings. I will be posting about him soon. I will leave him nameless for the time being but I did report him to CA law enforcement in 2011 and again in 2013 based on what I found. I will post about his many interesting connections.

Welcome from me as well LB ..really interested to see what you have in your possession. I am sure some of the old guard here are up for some new stuff..And I must say your resume is a scary read on what goes on in the US army. "in safe hands." I think not.
