    Steve,
    Did you ever investigate very hard whether
    your father was actually in San Francisco at the
    time of the Zodiac slayings?

    SS:
    My father made multiple trips each and every year from Asia to the U.S., during the time period from the late 1960s until his permanent relocation to San Francisco in 1990. I was unable to determine exact dates, as they are not available from forty-years past, but, we do know that he did have the “opportunity.”
