More on Deborah Perez…

Steve Huff has two interesting posts today about Deborah Perez and her father. Kat thought you might enjoy them, and I agree, so here they are (thanks, Kat!):

Deborah Perez: Making Her Story Fit Her Zodiac Fantasy?

Exclusive: Photos of the Zodiac?

I do have to say it is sad the media gave these two so much attention. I think the story should have been verified for authenticity better than it was. I concur with Steve Huff from True Crime Report.com.

Deborah Perez: Daughter of Zodiac Killer?

Is Deborah Perez being honest with us when she tells us that she believes that she is the daughter of the Zodiac killer?

Read moreI personally don’t believe her. If you watch the interview of her, with her clownish attorney, Kevin McLean (who has reported been disbarred), you see her smile very inappropriately as she talks throughout this interview.

You can clearly see she that she is trying to repress her smiles, but she is unsuccessful. In the first 35 seconds, before Deborah says anything, she cracks a grin. Why on earth would the daughter of the real killer feel like smiling, especially if, as she claims, he used her to do some of his dirty deeds?

If anything, one who comes to this conclusion would feel shame, embarrassment, pain, agony, disbelief and perhaps, most logically, they would want to escape it–not garner the world’s attention. However, someone who is not emotionally and biologically not connected would not think to feel those things, would they?

The reporter at time marker 8:13 asks, “Did you over all of these years know of the Zodiac killer?” Watch as Deborah responds with a smile, “No. Never.”

Kevin McLean tells us that Deborah believes she wrote the Melvin Belli letter which I found here. It doesn’t take any rocket scientist to see that no seven year old child wrote this. It’s ridiculous.

When Deborah says “There are unique facts about those letters that are not publicly known,” you might think she is struggling here because she is truly distraught, but there are hints that she is about to break into a smile, actually. It’s almost comical. At one point to stop herself, she actually bites her lip so help her gain her composure.

She also has some incredible memories for a seven-year old little girl that I find unbelievable. She says, “I was just a child. I thought I was helping my dad. I didn’t know.” Yet she claims to remember people screaming and seeing blood on her dad, yet he dismissed it as motor oil, and she believed him, but now she knows better? Come on.

If she believed she heard shots as she said, but her dad explained them away as firecrackers, most seven year old children would trust and believe dad, and never give it a second thought. And most adults, 40 years later don’t add up the pieces about something that happened when they were seven and suddenly realize those firecrackers were gunshots. It’s nuts.

McLean says at one point after talking about the fact that Deborah can identify several of the murder victims as people her father knew, “Some other evidence that we want to come up with, that is not speculation in our mind, is certain of the victims of the Zodiac were purposefully targeted…” What?? They want to come up with evidence? That is not speculation in their mind? If they don’t have it now, that means it is not evidence. Are they developing it?

At one point Deborah claims her father said to her after a murder, “‘I need you to not move. Don’t move. The police will not understand if they find this gun.” When people create stories, they often speak as they think and hence the negative word comes later in the sentence, which is highly unusual. Remember when Drew Peterson said about Stacy Peterson, “I think she’s not missing.” Look at Deborah’s sentence “I need you not to move”. Most people would say, “Don’t move!!” That’s what her memory would be, I suspect, if it truly happened.

Deborah also says her father came back from the Stine murder with glasses on that she had never seen before and she believed they were Stine’s glasses. What are the odds that you kill a man, and take his glasses and can wear them–that the prescription would match? Sounds like one-in-a-million to me!

What I find most ironic in this whole interview (which I did not watch in complete) is there is this man with blond hair standing behind and to Deborah’s right side, and he looks remarkably like the sketch of the Zodiac killer. I am sure it is just coincidence, but I can’t help but wonder who he is?

I suspect that nothing will be found to link Deborah Perez and her dad to the Zodiac killer. I suspect she and her friend McLean have been dreaming of becoming famous, and this is their go of it.
