The Zodiac Files Ep.5: The Lake Herman Road Ambush (Benicia, CA)

Dedicated to the victims and their families. Case #: # V-25564 On a cold December 20, 1968 new couple David Arthur Faraday & Betty Lou Jensen were spending time together on their first official date. Around 11:20pm which was after Betty's Curfew they were randomly attacked and shot with 10 Winchester-western Super X .22 LR rounds in a less than 5 minute encounter. While many witnesses drove by the "Lake Herman Road Gate #10 pump house Turn out", no one witnessed the incident happen. Including two hunters on the nearby ranch grounds who reported a white Chevy impala parked by David's family's 1961 Rambler. Over 6 months later before announcing his "The Zodiac" moniker the killer claimed credit writing "“This is the murderer of the 2 teenagers last Christmass at Lake Herman," in a phone call to dispatcher Nancy Slover the killer later to name himself "The Zodiac" signed off with "I also killed those kids last year. Goodbye." in a taunting manner.
