San Francisco detective Dave Toschi was a main investigator in the Zodiac Killer case, pouring over evidence even years after any sort of communication with the Zodiac.

"Tips Still Pursue Multiple Slayer"
It's been one of those weeks when there have been a lot of nickel and dime leads popping up in the Zodiac case. Homicide detective Dave Toschi methodically checks every one of them out.
"I feel he's out there. I feel he's going to surface," he says.
With the transfer of his long-time partner, William Armstrong, to the fraud detail, Toschi is the only San Francisco detective on the case now, one of the most baffling in the history of American crime.
"It's quite a challenge," he said. "I never let a day go by without remembering Zodiac. Now that I'm the only one working on it, it's gotten to be more personal."
For seven of the nine years he's been on the homicide squad, Toschi has been led down countless blind alleys in the vain search for the pathological killer who dubbed himself Zodiac in a series of boastful, taunting or threatening letters to newspapers.
In unprovoked attacks dating back to 1966 when he slashed the throat of a Riverside coed, Zodiac has killed at least six persons and wounded two others. His claim of having slain 37 people is not supported by any hard evidence, Toschi says.
Jeanne Borgen, 39, a psychic who lives in Pinole, stirred up some fresh interest in the case on Monday.
She called Toschi to say that a male had telephoned her Saturday night. "I need your help and you know who I am," the caller said. Toschi said Borgen divined that the voice belonged to Zodiac.
Borgen, who has made numerous predictions forecasting the capture of Zodiac, said that before dawn the following morning a man in an orange sports car drove past her house several times before stopping, getting out and walking to her gate. He looked as if he was going to come in, but apparently reconsidered and left, the psychic said.
"She felt there would be danger around her for about two weeks," said Toschi. "I can't discount it." The detective arranged to have Pinole police increase their visits to the neighborhood.
Officially, the killer hasn't been heard from in 31 months, but long silences are not unusual for him. Zodiac went 34 months before sending what was his last message to date. Unpublished until now, that hand-lettered postcard mailed to the Chronicle on Feb. 14, 1974, read:
"Dear Mr. Editor: Did you know that the initials SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) spell 'sla,' an old Norse word meaning 'kill'." It was signed, "a friend."
In saying he expects some sort of activity on Zodiac's part, Toschi admits he is relying solely on hunches. This despite the fact Toschi has filled eight filing cabinet drawers with Zodiac data - including the names of more than 2000 potential suspects.
Despite the mountains of information mined over the years by more than a score of investigators, the trail is stone cold. Many of the tips and leads these days come from mystics, eccentrics, people with sudden suspicions about friends, neighbors or co-workers.
Borgen predicted in May of last year that Zodiac would be captured in San Francisco. She also forecast then that President Ford would resign in September, Ronald Reagan would start a third party and Ted Kennedy would win the presidency.
In the years since he was assigned to the case, the detective has investigated more than 500 murders or suspicious deaths, but Zodiac remains his principal enthusiasm.
"I don't know if I'll ever get the case solved, but I'm sure as hell trying," Toschi said gamely.
Note: This article says the Zodiac was responsible for the 1966 murder of Cheri Jo Bates in Riverside, when in fact the case remains unsolved due to lack of evidence.

Artist: Andrew Hewkin
Location: Bermondsey Street
Open-air art exhibition across London - Summer 2012
• BT marked 25th anniversary of ChildLine with launch of open-air art exhibition in London
• BT ArtBox project saw leading artists, designers and creatives transform full-size replicas of iconic Gilbert Scott–designed red telephone box into stunning artworks
• Throughout June and July 2012, BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations across the capital
• The National Portrait Gallery hosted a gala auction on July 18 where the ArtBoxes were auctioned to raise money for ChildLine
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ChildLine, BT announced the launch of the BT ArtBox project – a new public art exhibition set to take over the capital Summer 2012.
Leading artists, designers and creatives from around the world were invited to apply their individual talents to re-style that much-loved icon of British design, the traditional red telephone box.
Each artist or designer took delivery of a full-size, fibre-glass replica of the Sir Giles Gilbert Scott-designed original K6 telephone kiosk, which was introduced in 1936 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
Participating artists included 2002 Turner prize winner Keith Tyson, Romero Britto and Royal Academician Professor of Sculpture David Mach, along with fashion designers Giles Deacon and Zandra Rhodes.
The BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations around the capital between June 18 and July 16 before being auctioned off at a VIP Gala Auction at the National Portrait Gallery on July 18 to raise funds for BT’s long-time partner ChildLine.
Esther Rantzen OBE, founder of ChildLine and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “I’m thrilled that ChildLine’s 25th birthday is to be celebrated by such a unique and inspiring project as BT Artbox.
“The red phone box is a much loved symbol of British culture and I’m keen to see how the artists involved will create new masterpieces from such an iconic canvas. It’s fantastic that the proceeds from the sale of the boxes will raise vital funds to support the work of ChildLine, enabling us to help many more children and young people to get comfort, advice and protection when they need it most.”
Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “The Gilbert Scott telephone box is a truly iconic British design, and I’m looking forwards to seeing how artists and designers transform the replica boxes into works of art on London’s streets.”
David Mach, said: “It’s great to be involved with the ArtBox Exhibition. I get to kill more than two birds with one stone...work with a great charity (hopefully make money for it) and a classic British design. I love all things Gilbert Scott. Anything that encourages us to get his design back on our streets does it for me”.
Suzi Williams, director of BT Group Marketing and Brand, said: “BT has a history of supporting British cultural initiatives and 2012 is no exception. What better way to celebrate ChildLine's 25th anniversary than transforming replicas of the classic red phone box into a public art exhibition that can be enjoyed by all in the build-up to the Games this summer."
Martine Ainsworth-Wells, London & Partners, Marketing and Communications director, said:
“London & Partners is excited to support BT ArtBox in the run up to London 2012. BT ArtBox will bring some of the UK’s finest artistic talents to London’s streets, adding a new creative dimension to the capital at such an important time in its history.”
Artists and creatives who were interested in designing an ArtBox visited btartbox.com for more information about how to get involved.
The BT ArtBox project was supported by the Mayor of London, Professor Malcolm Garrett RDI, London & Partners, The May Fair Hotel, Harvey Nichols, The Times and The Sunday Times and borough councils across the capital.

Top 10 facts about the K6 red phone box
1. Kiosk number 6 or “Jubilee Kiosk” commemorates the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
2. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott also designed Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and Bankside Power Station now Tate Modern.
3. More than 1,600 decommissioned red phone boxes, mostly K6s, have been sold to local communities for just a £1 under BT’s Adopt a Kiosk scheme. Uses include being fitted with lifesaving defibrillation machines, turned into art galleries and public libraries.
4. The K6 was the first kiosk installed nationwide and the standard kiosk across the UK until the introduction of the K8 in 1968.
5. The K6 kiosk is made from cast iron with a teak door. It is 8’3” tall (2.4 metres) and weighs three quarters of a ton (762 kilograms).

7. Although Scott agreed to the use of “Post Office red” he was never a supporter of the colour and initially suggested the outside of the kiosk be painted silver and the inside greenish-blue. He strongly urged rural kiosks be painted dove-grey.
