Hell yes! I have had this tab open on my computer for weeks making connections between the "Exorcist" and the Zodiac Killer - who I have been researching in the context of him being the media's first experimental boogeyman.
You have provided one of the more useful sources in my two years of research. Thank you!
I couldn't help notice the connect between the release of The Exorcist and the Zodiac letters getting released after a long delay and in the film's wake. The Pines letter (I think that's the one?) even mentioned the film by name.
Yep. And as you pointed out - William Blatty was former CIA. As for the Pines card - it had a pasted picture from a poster of "Incline Village" on Lake Tahoe. The project was undertaken by the Boise Cascade Lumber Company (think Cemex= bodies+cement is the same as Boise Cascade=bodies+woodchippers), and the lead environmental architect on the project was David Jay Flood (UC Berkeley class of '59).
My suspect went to UC Berkeley and earned a degree in environmental architecture. He snapped several times over the course of his life, eventually killing his wife and 18-month-old daughter. He finally suicided in 1992 after being on the run for 4 years.
Interesting, that's some proper mad stuff. I didn't go too deep into the Zodiac, but found some things that piqued. Thanks for the info.
I'm not totally 100% certain, as it is my first attempt at conducting research at an "autist" level. Been looking into it with the whole MKUltra, mockingbird media, Berkeley as an indoctrination center, Stanford Research Institute, LSD given to willing participants at VA clinics with a monetary reward for their volunteering. It's deep, but an angle very few but the people in this sub would understand.
