Deborah Perez, the sanity-estranged woman who claimed that she was the Zodiac Killer's daughter on Wednesday has another outrageous claim regarding her DNA makeup: she also alleged to be the illegitimate, biological daughter of John F. Kennedy.
Sigh.
True crime writer and investigative journalist M. William Phelps, who worked with her briefly to look into her claims before realizing she was batshit nuts, had this to say.
I was extremely interested Debbie's story, for obvious reasons. It sounded good. Seemed to add up. I had a handwriting expert friend of mine working on samples she sent me (he has since died). I was going through all of the paperwork she had sent me. I checked her out as much as I could and she seemed to have a good standing. Then she called one day and told me she was JFK's illegitimate child and was with Robert and Rose Kennedy the day before Robert was murdered. And that's when I stopped talking to her. I felt duped at that point. The chances of her being the Zodiac's daughter are a million to one--the chances of her being both JFK's daughter and the Zodiac's daughter are a gazillion to none. I feel sorry for Debbie. I really do. That's why I never went public with her story. I just simply moved on. I get calls like that a few times a year from people claiming to be all sorts of things. I hardly take th[e]m as far or as serious as I did with Debbie.
This woman is just not well. Neither are the attorneys and "investigators," namely disbarred lawyer Kevin McLean, who worked years cracking the bogus case.
David Fincher, you can sleep soundly tonight.

Batshit crazy OC resident of the year is still Octo-mom.
Did someone down there make a mistake and start pumping crazy into the water instead of flouride?
Wow! Even Perez's half-sister didn't mention this!

I am confused. Is she saying John F. Kennedy was the Zodiac Killer? Because that would be the first (and only) awesome thing about Crazypants McFail's claims.
She may not be well, she may be lying about all of it, but there's absolutely no logic in dismissing that she's the zodiac killer's daughter simply because she has some fantasy that she's related to JFK. The two aren't necessarily related and can be mutually exclusive. It could be a perfectly reasonable coping mechanism.
Some of the worlds greatest minds were a tad fuckin nuts, and at the time everyone thought they were only nuts, and maybe they were, but it doesn't mean they can't also be something else.
I will laugh and laugh if by some course of events it turns out to be proven that her dad was not the Zodiac, but that he did take her along while he murdered 30 other people.
If she's JFK's daughter, why didn't she run for Hillary Clinton's senate seat in New York after her step-sister bailed?
I used to be an investigator. If he were worth his salt, he would have simply checked out her other claims and if they were false, dismissed those claims while checking out her initial claim until it proved either true or false. At some point, every claim that is false fails on its own merits on some point or another. In the instant case, DNA of Paul Stine on the glasses she produced would give her some standing until further proofs either way were verified. When dealing with a case, verify, verify, verify.
it takes a special kind of crazy to be able to spout off this kind of bullshit and actually get media attention for it. she's doing better than Frank Chu
