Summary
The Doodler is one of San Francisco's most infamous cold-case murderers. He is believed to have killed at least six and up to 14 men in San Francisco between January 1974 and September 1975. He prowled bars and restaurants in communities like The Castro & Tenderloin, lured men into sexual encounters before killing them and leaving their bodies on beaches or in parks around the city. He was called The Doodler because he would draw sketches of men before he assaulted and killed them.
Kate Zaliznock, author of The San Francisco Doodler Murders, joins us to discuss why this cold case has been mostly overlooked, the animosity between the LGBTQ+ community of San Fran and the police, and the ridiculous “Twinkie Defense.”
