Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before anyone throws accusations around, I don't know the author. I'm a true crime fan who was skeptical about this book like many others, but I have to say the evidence the author provides throughout the 360 or so pages is more than compelling. It would be idiotic to write it off as nothing or a mere coincidence if one is being honest with themselves. Since I know many people just want to read the reviews and glean evidence from them, I'll list what evidence the author presents in the book to back up the claim the Zodiac was his father, Earl Van Best Jr.: -A fingerprint of his father has a scar that is nearly identical to one seen on a print left at the Stine murder. A photocopy of the prints is presented side by side in the hardback and even a layman can see the scars are the same angle and length. -A handwriting expert testified that the handwriting on Earl's marriage certificates (filled out by Earl himself) is the same handwriting as that in the Zodiac's letters, even stating he would testify to this in court if he was asked to. A document containing his response to the handwriting comparison is also included in the book. -Earl Van Best Junior is in one of the Zodiac's ciphers--every letter. A test to see if one can find other names in the cipher, like Mary Smith (for example) yields no results, yet every letter of Earl Van Best Junior is there in a cipher the Zodiac said contained his identity? That's a mighty coincidence! -Another cipher contains Earl's initials, making that two ciphers matching his name. -A Zodiac letter was signed "EV"--the initials for "Earl Van." -The mug shot of Earl is virtually identical to the police sketch of the Zodiac. -Earl lived in San Francisco at the time of the murders and, despite being in jail or mental hospitals several times, was always free on the dates of the murders. -Earl was highly educated and knew The Mikado by heart. The Zodiac quoted from The Mikado. -Earl joked with friends in high school about killing people and was obsessed with dark thoughts. -Earl left San Francisco around the same time the Zodiac murders ended. -All of the female victims resembled Earl's second wife, whom had scorned him and refused to see him when their marriage ended. -The man in charge of the case deemed the author's story credible enough to warrant testing him for DNA, which would cost the department $1500. The DNA was never ran, as Hennessey (the homicide detective) was removed from the case before it could be done. This is only some of the evidence discussed in the book. There is more I'm leaving out. Like I said, people will believe what they want, but in my opinion, the author's evidence is more than convincing to warrant a serious investigation into his claims and I believe it is the most compelling evidence for a potential suspect we have seen, even stronger than Arthur Leigh Allan. I believe this man was indeed the Zodiac killer and this book is a breakthrough people should be discussing seriously instead of dismissing as a money-making scheme. There is too much evidence here to outright discount it and it's too much to be merely a coincidence. That's my honest opinion. EDIT: I did an Internet search trying to back up some of the author's tale and there are postings on ancestry boards written under the author's name that date back to 2005. One of his father's friends also responded to his postings and gave him some of the information contained in this book, and it is all there on the forums on these websites with times and dates, proving he has been researching this for years. I thought it would be worth it to include this information in my review, as it backs up the author's claims and verifies his story.
