At the time I never paid any attention to the zodiac case. I was aware that a serial killer was on the loose in the bay area but I didn't know any of the details about any of the murders. I was just to busy trying to complete my education.
I remember that there was some mention that the Bates murder was a possible zodiac victim but the Riverside PD went out of their way to debunk this connection. At the time I simply took their word that they must know what their doing and who am I to question their competence. I forgot all about the zodiac and it wasn't until I just happened to watch the movie "Zodiac" a couple of months ago that I saw something that just left me stunned. I was not aware that the killer had sent ciphers to the police and the media. When the ciphers showed up on the screen a huge CLICK went off in my head. I HAD SEEN THOSE EXACT CIPHER CHARACTERS years earlier on a desktop in the old RCC library and the Bates murder had taken place less than 200 feet away.
