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.

Continuing my thread on Jarett Kobek's Zodiac suspect.

17. Doerr was, as Zodiac (based on items he sent) probably was, a packrat and amasser of random shit. And, like Zodiac, he clipped items from newspapers. (A newspaper clipping is visible on his desk, here.)
18. Like Zodiac, Doerr likes to write lists of things, ending in "etc."
19. More writing style similarities:

Like Zodiac, Doerr likes to share how-to's, proposed ideas, or how he achieved something, laid out in a list of steps.

Paul Doerr—the #zodiackiller suspect developed by author Jarett Kobek (in his remarkable book HOW TO FIND ZODIAC)—is the best Zodiac suspect that's ever surfaced.

Here’s an absurdly long thread outlining why.
1. It's not any one data point that sells Paul Doerr (b. 4/1/1927, d. 8/2/2007) as Zodiac, but rather, all of them combined that make it appear probabilistically impossible Zodiac was anyone other than Doerr.
2. Let's start with Doerr's favorite pastimes: writing letters to the editor (mostly to zines), which he'd been doing since his youth. To the extent his letters—and the many mimeographed zines he made himself—are archived digitally, they offer a wealth (understatement) of info.

Today's impact statements preceding DeAngelo's sentencing hit hard. (1/9)
Jane Carson-Sandler unleashed a savage rendering of 'This is Your Life, Joe DeAngelo,' categorizing his children and grandchildren as his additional victims before presenting Bonnie, the fiancée he attempted to kidnap at gunpoint in 1970. DeAngelo couldn't look at them. (2/9)
Gay Hardwick used three sheets of paper — one clean, one crumbled, and one full of creases — to represent the lasting damage caused by sexual violence, before and after. DeAngelo couldn't look at her. (3/9)
