Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Zodiac Killer thing again. It’s like, this massive rabbit hole, you know? I remember seeing something about this guy, Rick Marshall, being a possible suspect. It was all pretty wild. It all started with Robert Graysmith’s 1986 book, which kind of blew the whole case wide open, and that’s when all these other names started popping up.
So, I started with the basics, just trying to figure out who this Rick Marshall dude was. From what I gathered, this guy was into films, which, I guess, could be a weird connection to the Zodiac, with all his cryptic messages and stuff. A police informant actually pointed the finger at Marshall. That’s some serious accusation, right?
Then, I found out that two detectives went to Sacramento to check this Marshall guy out. They investigated him, though I couldn’t find out exactly how they did it. That’s a bummer. It felt like a dead-end at that point. They concluded that he probably wasn’t the Zodiac. It’s a bit of a letdown, honestly. You get all hyped up about a lead, and then it just fizzles out.
But, you know what’s crazy? There are other suspects too, it is not just Marshall. There’s this one guy, Lawrence Kane, who worked in the same Lake Tahoe area as one of the victims. Also, I read about Edward Wayne Edwards and Karl Werner, two serial killers. All these names just swirling around.
Here’s the list of those names I found:
- Rick Marshall – The film guy.
- Lawrence Kane – Worked near a victim.
- Edward Wayne Edwards – Some serial killer.
- Karl Werner – Another serial killer.
So, yeah, that’s where I am with this whole Rick Marshall and Zodiac Killer thing. It’s a big mess of maybes and probably-nots. I thought Marshall was a good lead but then, poof, nothing. I’ll keep digging, though. Maybe there’s something out there, some detail everyone’s missed.
