David Berkowitz confessed, but what really happened in the infamous ".44 Caliber Killer" murders in New York in the late 1970s?

You'd be surprised how little we know about David Berkowitz.

According to witnesses and Berkowitz himself, he was NOT the only ".44 Caliber Killer." Who were his likely accomplices?

Who are the Carr family that the Son of Sam wrote about?

"Because Craig is Craig, so must the streets be filled with Craig (Death)" --David Berkowitz

On October 12, 1974, young bride Arlis Perry was ritualistically murdered in the pandenominational Stanford Memorial Church on the Campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

Robert Moore "DeGrimston" and his wife Marianne, yet another pair of Scientology and O.T.O. plagiarists, started a Doomsday cult called The Process. Charles Manson, David Berkowitz, The Zodiac Killer, and others were supposedly members. But who were they, really?

Berkowitz hinted that a nationwide "death cult" called The Children was really responsible for the Son of Sam shootings.

The Stanford family were up to their eyeballs in the Occult wing of Freemasonry, a legacy that continues to this day.

Who? Read on!

By popular demand, I have decided to add a new forum to discuss the triple murder of Sue Sharp, Johnny Sharp, Dana Wingate, and disappearance of Tina Sharp on or about April 11, 1981 in Keddie, California. I do NOT claim to have "solved" the Keddie "case," but I have become interested, and people familiar with my own work on the "Zodiac Killer" case have asked if I would add a Keddie forum.

This Keddie forum will not be as tightly controlled by me as the ZodiacHoax forum, but I do reserve the right to do what I have to do. Dmac (whoever the hell that is) from keddie28.com is more than welcome to participate, but will NOT be permitted to bully or harass members HERE.

My primary interest in the Keddie case, for the foreseeable future, is to reconstruct, as best we can, the original Law Enforcement investigation. That is, to follow in the footsteps of the original investigators. Only AFTER I am confident that we have done as thorough a job of reconstructing the investigation as possible, will I burden y'all with a my "theory" of the case. However, others may create new threads of their own, discussing theories, suspects, etc.

Again, the ZodiacHoax forum is reserved for discussing MY books on the subject. This Keddie forum is for TWO uses--mine, and the public's. For now, mine is focused on gathering and reexamining the original "evidence" and other case documentation. For now, any MEMBERS of this site can post new threads under "my" Investigation board, but PLEASE think about whether it's necessary to create a new thread.

I invite others to create and participate in a broader discussion of the case. I would be interested in finding a moderator(s) for that public discussion. For now, I will create a board for that purpose where members can create threads and get discussions going. I will get it started with general topics like "Victims" "Theories" etc. Let me know if you'd like to (co-)moderate that board.

People connected to the case in various ways have made statements to the media, Josh Hancock, and on various Internet discussion boards over the years. I, personally, put little to no value on such statements, but we'll discuss them her.
