 (Lawrence Kane, 1968) On The Trail Of The Zodiac The Hines Report Kane's Handwriting |
*Pam Huckaby, sister of Zodiac victim Darlene Ferrin, claims Kane followed Darlene in the months before her murder. Additionally, possible Zodiac victim Kathleen Johns identified Kane as her abductor. *In 1969, during the peak of Zodiac's activity, Kane was 45 years old. He stood 5'9" and weighed approximately 160 pounds. His astrological sign is Taurus. *As a result of massive brain damage from a 1962 auto accident, Kane was allegedly diagnosed by a psychologist in 1965 as "losing the ability to control self-gratification." *Kane was arrested in Redwood City, Calif. in August 1968. The arrest was just four months before Zodiac's first San Francisco Bay Area murders of Dec. 20, 1968. *Five days after Zodiac murdered Darlene Ferrin on July 4, 1969, Kane traded his automobile for another at a San Francisco Pontiac dealership. *Zodiac murdered cab driver Paul Stine in San Francisco on Oct. 11, 1969. After killing Stine, Zodiac apparently escaped in the direction of Letterman General Hospital. Possible Zodiac victim Donna Lass was working the graveyard shift as a nurse at the hospital. In June 1970, Lass moved from San Francisco to South Lake Tahoe, Nev. to work as a nurse at the Sahara Tahoe Hotel Casino. In June 1970, Kane also moved to South Lake Tahoe to work in the same building. *Lass disappeared on Sept. 6, 1970. Co-workers of Lass said she and Kane were acquaintances. *On March 21, 1971, an apparent Zodiac postcard was sent implying responsibility for the Lass disappearance. The card is extremely vague and there is not enough handwriting to connect the postcard to Zodiac. The postcard is the only evidence connecting Lass with Zodiac. *The name Kane can be easily seen in Zodiac's "My name is-" cipher from April 20, 1970. As of early 1999, Lawrence Kane was living in Nevada. Also see: Zodiac Stuff Back to The Suspects. |
