I think this makes Garys father a weak suspect....

"Stewart does not link Van Best to individual crime scenes — except to say he may have lived near the Paul Stine murder site — nor does he provide any ties to murder weapons or physical evidence. Stewart claims a bloody partial print found at one murder scene matches Van Best’s, but in order to do so, Stewart had to invert a known Van Best print to get anything close."

I have not heard if EVB knew much about guns. Several different weapons were used by Zodiac. Zodiac seem to be someone that knew about guns and was comfortable around guns.

Gary has presented only pictures of EVB circa 1962. He could look much different in 1969. EVB would make frequent trips to Mexico. Gary could not get a passport picture? like AJ Wilks got for Gaikowski.

Seems like Gary stopped doing his Due Diligence research once he got the big Book deal and ever since stayed secluded in the Baton Rouge area promoting his book.

Hi,

What is even more inexcusable is that neither Stewart nor Wakshull ever requested EVB's SSA Application and went solely with the handwriting on the marriage certificate.

And, of course, Harper was stupid to release the book under the cover of darkness to shock the world without first vetting the evidence, even with an NDA if they feared leaks of info, with a known Zodiac killer subject matter expert.

Ouch. They learned a hard lesson.

Even his mom may not do that from what I hear.

You have to be a pretty big low life to run a grift off the murder of five people.

"From the start, though, there are clues that Stewart may be a problematic narrator of his own story. We learn (by his own admission) that his obsession over finding his birth parents and his father’s possible Zodiac connection took over his life and ruined several of his ultimately four marriages. He appears to have no compassion for his birth mother, Judy, angrily stating that she had lied to him or been vague about this traumatic event that her family hushed up from over three decades earlier (Stewart first met Judy when he was 39). When his son brings up the gratitude he might feel about escaping his terrible father and being adopted into such a loving home, it’s brushed aside. Ultimately, Stewart has a one-track mind, and it’s focused on the Zodiac killer (and never the victims)."

Good Morning America had a brief segment today about the show:

Show a little bit of Gary's way of finding his father's name in the 340 cipher.

So EVB was out of the country during part of Zodiac's terror reign?

Sounds like a Gaikowski problem.

Jack Tarrance, I would say, has at least a little plausibility. EVB just has nothing going for him.
