On Sept. 27, 2003, Zodiackiller.com held a public gathering at Moskowite Corners General Store/Tavern near Lake Berryessa in Napa County, Calif. The date marked the 34th anniversary of the Zodiac's attack of a young couple that left the female victim dead and the male victim seriously injured. The purpose of the event was to share information that might help advance the case and catch a killer.
Prior to the public gathering, a private group met beginning on Sept. 25. Included were Zodiackiller.com Message Board members Bill Baker, Sandy Betts, Victor Cantu, Mike Cole, Lisa Dahlia, J. Eric Freedner, Ed Neil, Ray Nixon, Scott Norton, Sean O'Brien and Wendy Echols.
