Listen ⇢the doodler podcast ⇠ The DoodlerKiller notches fifth victim — then he gets sloppy As the Doodler continues to terrorize gay men in San Francisco, the cops develop some important clues. And a victim lives to generate a suspect sketch April 6, 2021 4:00 a.m. The summer sun was sinking low when a hiker found the body. Decayed. The coroner determined the man had been lying there about 10 days. Stabbed and slashed to death. San Francisco police detective Dan Cunningham and I retraced that hiker’s steps recently. We wanted to stand where he stood 45 years ago. At Lands End, where shrub-studded cliffs drop to the sea and the Golden Gate Bridge shimmers from the northeast. On a slope, across the road and down from the 16th hole of the Lincoln Golf Course.
