The Zodiac Killer Might Be This Guy’s Dad

Remember the time we all saw Zodiac and it was so scary and the only thing that got us through it was a 13 Going On 30-era Mark Ruffalo?

Welp, it’s time to revisit old wounds. In “A Man Claims the Zodiac Killer Is His Father in a New Book That’s Been Kept Secret for Months” Elon Green reports that in The Most Dangerous Animal of All, Gary L. Stewart claims the Zodiac Killer is his DAD:

Not mentioned in the summary: Stewart, a vice-president at a cleaning company in Baton Rouge, alleges that his father was the Zodiac Killer, who is believed to have killed at least five people in Northern California, and famously sent letters and cryptograms to Bay Area newspapers. The murders were never solved.

Stewart reached the conclusion that his father was the serial killer after twelve years of research, Tina Andreadis, a publicist at HarperCollins, told me today.

Wow. And what was his reaction after 12 years of intense research? Actually exactly what you think it would be.

“He didn’t want to believe,” she said. “I don’t think most people want to know that their father is a notorious serial killer.”
