“The Doodler has been linked to a series of homicides along Ocean Beach and near Golden Gate Park between January 1974 and June 1975,” according to the SF Examiner. “The killer earned the moniker after one of the two men police say he assaulted in July 1975 saw him drawing caricatures at an all-night diner on Market Street.”
The San Francisco Police Department made a public plea for tips, and released a new sketch of what the suspect may look like today as well as an audio recording of a call to police dispatch by an unknown man reporting a body along the beach after the first homicide in 1975 reports USA Today.
