Information |

The
following letter was sent to Donna Lass' older sister, Mary Pilker, from
Police Reporter Dave Peterson. He had written a letter to Harry
Martin to inform him about the Lass grave site and he thought Lass'
sister should be made aware of it. |
|
Peterson
was always giving out information, even to those he disagreed with,
because he wanted the case solved. He wished to promote any and all
material in the hope that someone would come forward with vital
information on the Zodiac case. Or at least on some cold case that
was possibly connected to the Zodiac. |

Donna
Lass Biography |
|
|
|
Note
that Donna moved to Santa Barbara, California 07-01-67. Charles
Manson and some friends were living at 705
Bath Street in Santa Barbara in July 1967. Donna Lass did
not leave Santa Barbara until 04-01-69. Charles Manson,
Bruce Davis and others visited Santa Barbara off and on
during this time. Davis knew a guy in Santa Barbara that
had a Corvette. Santa Barbara was a fairly small beach
city then (1960 population: 58,758) and it would not be
difficult to spot the young, attractive nurse. It had been
unknown until recently (March 2009) when Don |
|
na had moved to Santa
Barbara. This discovery |
came as a surprise. |
But
it was not completely
unexpected. |
|
We are grateful to Donna's sister Mary
Pilker for providing these details. |

The following
documents have been kept in a 3-Ring binder by Mary Pilker. The
white areas |
along the
left sides of them are where the holes were punched to put them in
the binder. |

It
can be seen here that Donna worked at Letterman General Hospital
in the Presidio of San Francisco. Zodiac, as is well known, went
into the Presidio after killing Paul Stine - and vanished. |
