Thoughts on woman claiming father was Zodiac killer?

Asked by Triiiple (1356points) April 30th, 2009

Recently saw this on Lou Dobbs on Headline News.

The claim by Deborah Perez stirred up much skepticism about a case in which a number of people have tried to take responsibility.

But at least Perez, 47, offers a unique twist, the newspaper says.

She tells reporters that she is going public to finger her now-deceased father, Guy Ward Hendrickson, a resident of Santa Ana in 1968 and 1969, in an attempt “to right his wrongs.”

Most intriguing, perhaps, is that she says she has a pair of brown, horn-rimmed glasses that her father supposedly took from his last victim, a cabbie, the Chronicle reports.

She also says she wrote a letter to famed defense attorney Melvin Belli at the age of 7 to try to get help for Hendrickson. The letter, with erratic punctuation and misspellings, read: “Dear Melvin This is the Zodiac speaking I wish you a happy Christmass. ... please help me.”

Another Big Foot hoax?

This is all long in the past. Any information that was credible with the zodiac killer died with him.

I read that she is the subject of a documentary that is going to be released soon. That makes me suspicious of her motives.
