According to Chronicle accounts at the time, detectives even had a purported confession passed on to them by a psychiatrist who said a patient copped to the killings - and on Wednesday, McEachern said he and Cunningham are eager to find the name of that psychiatrist, which has been lost to time. Homicide inspectors turned up an abundance of clues back then, including eyewitness accounts from as many as three surviving Doodler targets. The killings happened along Ocean Beach and in Golden Gate Park. After showing them the doodles of their faces, the killer would ask them to go away with him to have sex - and then, once away from prying eyes, he would attack them with a knife. The Doodler hunted gay white men in diners and bars, and got his name because he would lure them in by drawing sketches of them as he sat nearby. “We’ve made some progress, but this one has been frustrating,” Cunningham said. Greg McEachern, said in a meeting room at police headquarters.Ĭunningham told The Chronicle he has dug up new investigative leads, including DNA from at least one murder scene and information from a foreign diplomat who was attacked by the Doodler. “We’re here to ask for help so we can bring justice to the victims of these horrendous homicides that happened in the 1970s to gay white men,” Cunningham’s supervisor, police Cmdr. The sketch is an age-enhanced version of the depiction drawn in the mid-1970s with the aid of two witnesses.
