A couple days ago on this show,
Chronicle journalist
Kevin Fagan told you all about his latest project: the
untold story of the Doodler, a new documentary podcast series from
Ugly Duckling Films.
On his show, Kevin dives into the
archive of his paper and the San Francisco Police Department in
search of a serial killer known for drawing portraits of his
victims. This killer, known as the Doodler, targeted his attacks
against gay men in the Bay Area between 1974 and 1975.
He brutally beat and murdered at
least five gay men and got away with it due to little evidence and
lack of attention from the media and the police at the
time.
SFPD re-opened the case in 2018 and
it's still ongoing today. Police believe the Doodler is still alive
and have released an age-progressed sketch of the suspect, which
you can see in the image the accompanies this podcast.
Follow this new hunt for a forgotten
serial killer and subscribe to The Doodler on Apple
Podcasts or wherever you listen. Take care, and we’ll see
ya here on Storied: San Francisco next week.
