Well, I spent a lot of time looking at suspects that had been in Riverside, thinking that the Zodiac had to have been in Riverside and that that had to be. You know, I had to find somebody with a background in Riverside. And, you know, I talked to a detective. He said, you know, you don't know that that's a Zodiac case. Why don't you stick to confirmed Zodiac attacks and stuff and focus on confirmed Zodiac activity? And I sort of took his advice and I said, well, let me just look at people in Vallejo. And I started, you know, I. The thing that really got me interested in him is after the Blue Rock Springs attack, when Zodiac shot Darlene Farron and Mike mageau, you know, 35, 40 minutes goes by, a good amount of time goes by before he makes that phone call where he, you know, that infamous phone call. And he made that phone call from the intersection of Springs and Tuolumne. And that was a drive that should have taken him, you know, 10 minutes or so because it's only a couple miles from the park where he shot them at. But it, you know, he waited a good 35, 40 minutes. So I started thinking, well, what if, you know, why would he do that if he. If he was driving out of town and wanted to make that call as he was heading out? That call should have came, like, 10 minutes after the attack, but it came, like 40 minutes after the attack. So I said, what if he lived around that phone booth and he went home, stashed his guns, parked his car, changed his clothes, whatever, just to disassociate himself from the crime and distance himself from any evidence that tied him to it. And then maybe he walked right over to that phone booth to make that call to police. And I started looking at people. I used an old Polk's directory that listed the residents of every house in the area. And I sort of just made a list of everybody that lived within walking distance, within a couple hundred yards of that phone booth. And most of the places there were businesses, so nobody really lived there. But one of the places that somebody did live was, you know, on 1223. And that was this guy, William Mac Andrew. He lived there with his parents, had a real estate business there. And when I did some background searching on him, I found out he was 5 foot 8, you know, 200 some odd pounds, large, round face, wore glasses, was. Was a experienced shooter, was in the codes and ciphers. And, you know, I finally got my hands on his writing just to see, you know, I thought, well, maybe that's going to rule him out. And it didn't. His handwriting looks remarkably like Zodiac's, you know, that. That same slant that Zodiac used. So right, right away I was like, okay, there's too many things that are just lining up here that are interesting. And then, you know, look at some of the things in his life. You know, they. They line up perfectly with Zodiac's stops and starts in writing, letters, you know, Zodiac didn't write for from 1971 to 1974. Well, in 1971, he took a state job with the prison system, and 1974, he got engaged. And those coincide with the stops and starts in Zodiac's letter writing for that three year period. We sort of saw that when we did Golden State Killer. You know, he's DeAngelo's pause in between killings was, you know, when he last killed someone was 1981. Then he didn't do it again until 1986, coincided with the births of his two daughters. So it was interesting there was that. That kind of the stressors in his life that, you know, oftentimes police look for to see if there's any kind of new jobs, new marriages, babies being born, things that set off these kind of people to do that kind of stuff. And it just so happens that he sort of lined up perfectly with that. So the more I looked at him, the more things fell into place, the more I was convinced that, you know, I had the right guy.
