I have always been fascinated by this case. My husband grew up in Winnetka and took me to Kenilworth Beach so I could see the house. We were in college and I was a poli Sci major. It angers me that they won't let any of the evidence be tested. At this point everyone is dead finding the answer won't tarnish anyone's rep

Illinois authorities have tested evidence over the years. At the time of the suit, I don't think they were aware of how certain evidence in the files ties the Percy case to some of the most notorious unsolved cases in San Francisco, where a certain Percy suspect lived. Meanwhile, there are reasons to believe feds were pulling the strings over what happened in '16 in Chicao with the lawsuit. These days, however, I think Kenilworth knows all this. I made a recent addition to my book about the case regarding it and, if it's not censored by a certain large online retailer, it's in there. There's also this : https://rumble.com/v3hp42g-proof.html

Once I read your book I thought that maybe they ran into each other at plaza del lago or Homer's.and she didn't give him the response he wanted. This seemed hurried but not random. By the way welcome to Milwaukee husband is NTE 80

Thanks and thanks for reading. This, which I basically see as the follow up, credits him with 47 murders: https://tinyurl.com/59rcems7 So the secrecy of the 50-year-old files makes sense. I am pretty sure there were 40 more, and those are just the ones I've run across. It's incredible.

Just saw this copy on a reddit thread. My dad believed he had The Zodiac Killer as a patient WAY back in the very early '70s when he was an active killer. My dad's practice was in Richmond, CA, in the eastern half of the San Francisco Bay Area. This patient was always the last patient of the day. He was always talking about the case. bragging about all the weapons he had, and he even resembled the sketch of him. Dad was a first lieutenant, infantry, tail end of WW2 and did not scare. This patient though gave my dad the creeps. Finally, my dad gave the cops a sample of this patients handwriting. Shortly after this, he stopped being seen by my dad.

If it was Thoresen, it would have had to have been before mid-June, 1970, which is certainly the very early nineteen seventies.
