               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.  |

              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.  |

            |

               It 
				can be seen here that Donna worked at Letterman General Hospital 
				in the Presidio of San Francisco. Zodiac, as is well known, went
