From January 27, 1974, with the murder of Gerald Cavanaugh at Ocean Beach, to the June 25, 1974, stabbing of Joseph ‘Jae’ Stevens in Golden Gate Park, and the violent deaths of Klaus Christmann, Frederick Capin, Harald Gullberg, and suspected victim Warren Andrews, the Doodler serial killer left a trail of terror. We examine the anonymous 911 call, the diplomat survivor, and the relentless efforts of detectives Earl Sanders and Rotea Gilford to catch the elusive Black male suspect known for sketching his victims.
