Can you get access to the horoscope page of the Sunday Examiner and Chronicle of August 3rd 1969 Dave.

Sure - looks like there were two (one was in "Datebook").

Trudy Ann Hiler killed in Tahoe, compared to Donna Lass case. I don't think she's been mentioned on the forums.

Trudy's killer has just been paroled, and will be back on the streets in about 30 months, after serving part of a sentence for attempted escape. Michael Anselmo was the 19 y.o. hotel bus boy who originally reported seeing her being bundled into a car. He had only been in the area a couple of days before killing Trudy. His lame excuse was that he was high on LSD.

How the hell can they let someone back into the public who has committed such a horrid act?

Aug 17, 1972 (this one is addressed directly to Zodiac):

This one turned out to be interesting. The number in the ad, "130-07-1079", happens to match the social security number for a deceased man named Thomas Dougherty, born 13 February 1915 and died July 1979. He lived in San Francisco at the time of his death.

A man named Thomas Dougherty, perhaps the same man, had a Zodiac code theory that he pestered a federal judge with. I wrote an article about him a while ago:

The code work in his letters mentions Donna Lass at several points. It also mentions "Coda" which is mentioned in the ad.

Interesting find!

The number in the ad, "130-07-1079"

It reads as though it would be a phone number, but that's not a phone number. Is it supposed to be an address?

Yes, I believe he is using it instead of his name for the first line of the address. Strange that he would give up his SSN so easily. But he was a strange guy.

I'm assuming his address, the Warfield Hotel, was a flophouse?

From the stuff at Dave's site, it sure seems this guy has mental health/drinking problems, what with his delusional tale linking Zodiac and Donna Lass to Howard Hughes Jr., Louis Gottlieb (limelighters/digger farm) and bringing the killers, Juan Corona, Willie The Woodcutter etc. into the tale.

Sounds like the overactive imagination of a guy no doubt considered at the time a "crazy bum"; concocting a conspiracy using (in)famous characters in the papers.

At least the 340 helped the guy pass the time, I suppose.

Hi Dave, was the December 16th Fairfield letter ever released in the newspapers in 1969 or 1970.

Hi Dave, was the December 16th Fairfield letter ever released in the newspapers in 1969 or 1970.

So far, I have had no luck finding any mention of it in the papers.
