ZODIAC New York ZODIAC

This television news broadcast focuses on New York's copycat ZODIAC and the California case. Highlights: An appearance by the famous attorney Melvin Belli, and a brief interview with retired detective Jack Mulanax (Vallejo Police Dept.), and his comment that the only suspect who ever "turned" him "on" was -- at that time -- working in a hardware store in Northern California. Shortly after this broadcast, convicted-felon Ralph Spinelli approached police and offered to name the Zodiac killer if authorities would drop the charges he faced for armed robbery that could lead to decades in prison. The man Spinelli named was infamous suspect Arthur Leigh Allen, who -- at the time -- worked in a hardware store in Northern California.
