Does anyone know, 100% sure , that Dean Ferrin was the biological father of Darlene's daughter ?

It bothers me that there is NO marriage record to be found on Dean Ferrin and Darlene.
I have neither been able to find any info on when, where and how exactley they met, and where and what date they got married?

And the fact that Darlene was seeing several other men than her husband Dean, kind of have me thinking if someone else could have been the father of Darlene's daughter.


And IF this claim was really true:
"According to her sisters, and other independent witnesses, Darlene was the object of what appeared to be, an infatuated older male."

and this:
"Darlene had made a cryptic remark just hours before she died, "You might read about me in the papers tomorrow." "


Here comes my, possibly far out, speculation:

Could Zodiac have been the father ???

And IF Zodiac had some kind of important/respectable position in socity, is it possible that Darlene was about to tell that this man was the father of her daughter?

And could that have been a motive for killing Darlene?

It has ben claimed that Darlene had seen this man kill someone, so maybe Darlene was about to reveal that this man was a killer, an adulterer and the father of her child, and that the man knew about it, maybe Darlene had demanded something from him which he had denied her, and she decided to expose him ?

I might question that too if their daughter didn't look just like Dean, but that of course is just my perception.

But, it is one of the reasons I questioned "Gordon Arthur Spence" - he was dating Darlene and seemed to think she might be pregnant. See this thread:

Yes I know about Gordon Arthur Spencer, but Darlene and him met in December 1968, and Darlene's daughter was born almost 1 year prior;
24 Jan 1968, so GAS could not have ben the father.

And yes Darlene's daughter may very well look like Dean Ferrin, but she also look like a spitting image of one of my suspect's daughters

I didn't mean to imply Gordon was the father of Darlene's daughter...just a possible pregnancy being motivation for her murder.

Since Darlene was actually married to Dean, I think it is more probable she looked like Dean rather than a potential suspect, but as we know with this case...anything is possible.

Unless one sees a copy of a DNA test, it will remain speculation.

I understand

"Don't worry about it." Which is why I think Dee knew her killer. Was Dee killed by the zodiac? ,I have a feeling she wasn't.

The restaurant Dee worked at during the time she was murdered was about a few blocks from the California Maritime Academy, about a mile from the Carqueniz Bridge (heading toward SF), and approximately 5 miles to Mare Island.

There was a case in 67 or so in San Bernardino of a family of 4 killed... One of the suspects was a kitchen cook. His name was never revealed, but it was said he was watching the family from afar not long before the murders. Maybe there is a connection through a restaurant worker at Dee's work stalking her. Who knows.
