She advised ART LINKLETTER was once a hit man for a crime syndicate out in New York in the 1930's and has been responsible for many crimes throughout the U.S. When anyone threatened to disclose him they are killed and she added that [REDACTED] have been brought up in the same criminal way.
She added that DIANE LINKLETTER, ART's daughter, had not actually committed suicide when she allegedly jumped out of a Hollywood apartment while on drugs. She stated that [REDACTED] pushed DIANE out of the window upon [REDACTED] ART LINKLETTER. She believed this was due to the fact that DIANE knew too much about [REDACTED] criminal activities.
[REDACTED] then displayed photographs of ART, [REDACTED] which she had clipped from trade publications, advising she had deduced from newspaper articles that [REDACTED] was the Zodiac killer and [REDACTED] was "D.B. Cooper". She stated the wrong man was going to trial in the Yuba City, California murders as she has deduced from reading newspaper reports that [REDACTED] was the only person who could be responsible for these killings.
She stated that the LINKLETTERS were involved in the TATE - LA BIANCA murders in Los Angeles but could provide no specific reasons why she believed this. When asked if she had reported her beliefs to the local police she stated she had done so on several occasions but apparently no one believed her or would not take any action because of ART LINKLETTER's social status.
[REDACTED] advised she writes many letters reporting her beliefs to various police agencies and knows that no action is ever taken because of ART LINKLETTER's social and financial status. All of her information is based on articles she has read about various crimes.
She does not have any specific firsthand information but appears obsessed with the idea that ART LINKLETTER has for many years been connected with crime syndicates in New York and Chicago and that [REDACTED] have been responsible for numerous hijackings and murders in the U.S.
