Hard Copy: Tracking the Zodiac Killer

This segment of the popular tabloid television program focused on the unsolved "Zodiac" murders. Retired police officer Harvery Hines became convinced that the had identified the notorious killer as "Larry Kane." Hines' suspect was identified by possible Zodiac victim Kathleen Johns. In 1970, Johns claimed that she had escaped from the killer during a failed abduction attempt yet many investigators and researchers question whether she had, in fact, encountered the Zodiac, and some even suggested that she had invented the story. [Johns tale was featured in the 2007 film ZODIAC.] Police briefly investigated and cleared Larry Kane as a suspect, but Hines remained convinced "with every fiber" of his being that his suspect was the Zodiac.
