Help Wanted Weighing the Evidence

2008 May 14
by Bystander

Is there any real evidence?

Help me compile the best evidence to prove Richard Gaikowski was Zodiac.
or
Help me compile the best evidence that would rule out Gaikowski as Zodiac.

Voigt’s site is so full of deception, distortions and circumstantial confetti that it confuses even the most well intentioned researchers.
(Here’s my list of false evidence published at zodiackillers that Voigt has used to muddy the evidence pool: http://by-stander.blog.com/2915907/)
Every allegation made by Blaine T. Blaine that can be verified has been proven false so NO Blaine based claims accepted.
I’ll cull the BEST from your comments and post them here.

THE BEST EVIDENCE - Richard Gaikowski was Zodiac
1. “
Gyke” is in the friggin cipher!
2.
I Dont’ know why you think him being in another country over the seas rules him out as a suspect. Because flying back to kill people is something the Zodiac would do! duh.

THE BEST EVIDENCE - ruling out Richard Gaikowski
1. Richard wasn’t in the area during a confirmed Zodiac attack on December 20, 1968. He had been in Albany and then traveled to Europe during the second half of 1968.
2. Real cops, who had access to Gaikowski’s vital records ruled him out as a suspect over 20 years ago. They had access to records about his height, weight, date of arrival in San Francisco, model of car and the ability to surreptitiously get fingerprints and hand writing samples.
3. The FBI has already looked at Richard and cleared him. You can go here http://foia.fbi.gov/zodiac/zodiac5.pdf.
Check page 371. They black the names out, but they are talking about Blaine accusing Richard back in 1988. In 1991, Blaine even turned in an envelope and card and some code solution thing that Blaine was accusing Richard of making. Blaine accusing Richard of the code solution book was on Void’s site at one time, but appears to have been deleted or moved. That is because Richard didn’t make the solution booklet. The friggin’ FBI saw no merit in it and most definitely finger printed Richard.

He would have had to be on the moon

Here’s the original “duh” test. Weigh your statement using Occams Razor. Occams Razor is often paraphrased as “All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best.”
Ask yourself. Is it likely that in December 1968, Richard Gaikowski, vacationing in the U.K after quitting a difficult three year stint as a reporter in New York, interrupts his R&R with an expensive ele ven hour, 5,000+ mile trip to San Francisco, kills two teens in a remote lovers lane, flys back to the U.K in another expensive eleven hour, 5,000+ mile flight and resumes his vacation?
I can see why you don’t like his alibi. It’s one hell of an alibi and it completely kills Voigt’s case. Remember, Voigt spent an earlier decade falsely accusing several men of being BTK. 0 for 20. That’s one hell of a record to defend.

    Void didn’t want Gaikowski’s name published, but it soon turned up on another website. Until that point, it was forbidden to post Richard’s full name, or link to anything with info that would make his identity known.

    But I’m sure that doesn’t matter since this blog is not all that concerned with being factual and unbiased.

    DVD sales are not counted as movie earnings. If you want to stretch the definition, then go ahead, but the point is that Void’s numbers are still wrong. Do you not realize that 33 plus 50 plus 20 does not equal 150? Are you mentally challenged?

    Void math. No wonder the Zodiac has never been caught! 33+50+20 equals 150 to Tom. Ouch. And that isn’t even taking into account advertising and fees. It didn’t even make back its cost. That Zodiac movie was a flop. It was boring as heck and spent time trying to implicate a man who was cleared by DNA already. Yikes, no wonder Void likes it. Making a movie that implicates an innocent man is right up his alley.

    “Zodiac” has grossed huge numbers in DVD sales. I’d post a link except the idiot who runs this blog keeps editing my posts and changing what I write.

    Wow, does Tom realize he’s singlehandedly keeping this blog entertaining with his tantrum-like posts?

    No offense, but I didn’t see much entertaining here prior to Tom’s meltdown. I find it hard to believe he can conduct anything like “investigation” when his behavior is more like a six year old than an adult.

    Moderater: Please explain how GYKE and RYT[]RD and *AIK-KOW-SK9 are all in the 340 and 408 ciphers. If you think this is just nonsense, find another person’s full name in any of the ciphers. If you can, then okay, you’re fair-minded and we’re all just crazy. Please accept the challenge, and let me know. I’m not being disrespectrul, right? By the way, what do you think of Rand’s solution to the 340? Do you agree? It’s on the site and you obviously read it. You see, whether you believe Tom or not isn’t the point. It’s whether Gaik is or is not Z. Physical evidence will tell the story. And, no, the FBI didn’t get his fingerprints and clear him. And, let’s suppose that Gaik was in Ireland in December 1968. Okay. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t do the later crimes. We know he was in the Bay Area in April 1969.
