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).

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."

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.

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)
18. Like Zodiac, Doerr likes to write lists of things, ending in "etc."
