Thursday, the FBI confirmed to CBS13 they are now running laboratory tests on some items that may link a suspect to the killer.
The evidence was given to the FBI by a Pollock Pines man who also claims he recently found the disguise worn by the Zodiac Killer during one of his attacks.
“The identity of the Zodiac Killer is Jack Tarrance. He’s my stepfather,” says Dennis Kaufman.
Eight years of Dennis Kaufman’s life has been consumed with attempting to prove the only father he’s known since he was five-years-old is none other than the Zodiac Killer.
“This a handwriting comparison I did,” says Kaufman, showing handwriting samples claiming to be his father’s and the Zodiac Killer’s, which bear a striking similarity. Similarities Dennis says are no coincidence.
“The composite is a dead ringer,” says Kaufman, showing composite sketch of the killer next to his stepfather’s — a resemblance that is undeniable between pictures of Jack Tarrance and descriptions of the zodiac.
Dennis also claims his stepfather, in a taped phone conversation, indirectly admitted being the zodiac killer.
“If I wrote a book and said I think my stepfather is the Zodiac Killer they wouldn’t believe me,” says Kaufman.
