My Dad, the Zodiac; Woman Claims She Helped As a Child

I've heard of take your daughter to work day, but this is ridiculous ...

A woman has come forward to claim that when she was just 7 years old, her dad took her with him while he committed murders that would be called the work of the Zodiac Killer.

Says Deborah Perez:

“There were strange events with my father,” she said. “I would hear shots and my father would say it was firecrackers. I would see a woman running and then hear shots and he would tell me someone threw firecrackers at her.”

The Zodiac Killer scared the ever living jesus out of the San Francisco Bay Area in the late '60s and '70s -- and any kid growing up in the Bay Area in the '80s will surely remember that one Halloween when a prank Zodiac letter nearly cancelled the whole holiday. The killer was never found, the murders stopped, suspects seemed to materialize out of nowhere.

Now, a group of lawyers and private investigators claim they have unmasked the killer -- and they trotted out Perez as an unwitting accomplice during the spree. When she was as young as 7. In a news conference, Perez said she wrote some of the infamous letters that taunted police and the media during the time, and she even claims to have the eye glasses worn by one of the victims.

uh huh. I'll believe that when I see it. I guess there is an upside to this bizarre story, however. As my colleague Brett said in an email: This makes anything we do as parents seem like nothing.

Agreed.

Thank you Zodiac ... Killers?

Hi, my dad did something really bad a long time ago. I swear it was him.

Now will you buy the documentary I'm making?

No, oh, well, I'll like the stamps if you want to send threatening letters to a newspaper!
