I posted a blog on this case June 2011, "Brutal Murder in the Muirwood Neighborhood Remains Unsolved".

I hope in my life time we will know the identity of Zodiac. He popped up in some of my research, he had posted letters to news outlets from the Post Office on Black Avenue in Pleasanton.

I was in the same class as Steve and many of us knew that it was him that killed Tina. The 3 judge panel that reduced his sentence to a 2nd degree should be disbarred. It's a disgrace and an insult to Tina's family that this monster even has the potential for a parole hearing in 3 years. He should rot in a cell for the remainder of his worthless life until he eventually rots in hell where he belongs.
