ZODIAC KILLER PAGES

ON DECEMBER 20, 1969 IN A PARKING AREA OFF LAKE HERMAN ROAD, NEAR VALLEJO, CALIFORNIA 2 PEOPLE WERE GUNNED DOWN IN THE FIRST VERIFIED ZODIAC KILLING.     IT OCCURED ABOUT 11:15 AT NIGHT ON A FRIDAY AND WOULD SPARK A 5 YEAR KILLING SPREE BY A KILLER  KNOWN AS ZODIAC.

IT IS PRESUMED THAT ZODIAC ORDERED THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE, A 1961 RAMBLER STATION WAGON AND WHEN THEY WERE SLOW HE FIRED TWO SHOTS INTO THE CAR TO SPEED THEM UP.     AS DAVID FARADAY (AGE 17) EXITED THE CAR HE WAS SHOT FATALLY ONCE IN THE  HEAD. MINUTES LATER  BETTY LOU JENSEN AGED 16, GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND TRIED TO ESCAPE BUT 5 SHOTS IN HER BACK FROM ZODIAC'S 22 SEMI AUTOMATIC PUT AN END TO HER LIFE A SCANT 30 FEET FROM THE CAR.     IRONICALLY.....AND TRAGICALLY,  IT WAS THEIR FIRST DATE.

CORONER DAN HORAN TRACES THE PATH OF ONE OF THE BULLETS FIRED INTO DAVID FARADAY'S CAR.

THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS TRULY THE WORK OF ZODIAC BUT EVEN CASUAL EXAMINATION OF THE 'CONFESSION' LETTER REVEALS MUCH TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO HAVE BEEN GUESSED AT.     ONCE AGAIN HOWEVER THERE IS THAT 'TIME DELAY' BETWEEN THE ACT AND THE LETTER...BUT ZODIAC WAS TO REMEDY THIS .......AND SOON .
