Concluding my thread on Paul Doerr, Kobek's Zodiac suspect.
37. Doerr’s fingerprints should be obtained (they're on record) and compared against the Zodiac latents. @sfpd? @VallejoPd?
If Doerr isn’t Zodiac, I will eat my shoe, Werner Herzog-style.
38. And for good measure, Doerr was a fan of John Norman's GOR novels—a whole series about owning slaves in Paradise.
Doerr sometimes wrote to zines using the pseudonym "Tarl Cabot," the hero of the GOR novels (which serial killer Gerald Gallego also enjoyed).
39. You can read more about Paul Doerr in this week's issue of @LAmag.
40. Kobek’s book HOW TO FIND ZODIAC contains even more stuff I didn’t cover here.
40b. You should read it and its predecessor MOTOR SPIRIT. Despite my connection to the genre, I’m hardly a diehard true crime fan, but these books exemplify what the genre should be—by transcending it.
41. Thank you for reading.
