Police have upped their reward for information leading to the arrest of the elusive 'Doodler' serial killer, nearly half a century since his first murder.
The San Francisco Police Department on Tuesday upped their reward for tips leading to the identification and arrest of the infamous “Doodler” serial killer, who terrorized San Francisco’s gay community with a string of murders in the 1970s.
Police believe that all six victims were gay, Caucasian men. The murders all followed the same trend, where the Doodler picked up his victims at a gay bar before stabbing them to death “so savagely that investigators concluded he was driven by fury of some kind,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which has investigated the case extensively.
At the time of the murders, police described the suspect as an African American male, 19 to 25-year-old, 5-foot-11 to six feet tall, with medium complexion, smooth skin and lanky in appearance. In a crime bulletin posted last week, police specifically sought help identifying an anonymous female caller who contacted police twice in 10 days in 1975, providing both a name and a license plate number of a possible suspect. Police are hoping to identify both that caller and two additional people who also gave them the name of the same suspect. Investigators eventually interviewed that person in 1976, but according to the Chronicle, couldn't solidify a case against him.
