Legendary SFPD Homicide Inspector Frank Falzon sits down for an interview with KTVU, detailing his career investigating more than 300 cases, including the Zodiac, the Zebra killings, the Night Stalker and the killings of Mayor Moscone and Sup. Harvey Milk.
Jennings is a former San Francisco Chronicle reporter who covered those cases in real-time, and often quoted Falzon in his stories.
"I looked at every case. It was like a new ballgame and the only way you got to hit a homerun is by solving that case," he said. Falzon was on the case, and soon realized the evidence matched the modus operandi of the killer of more than a dozen people in Southern California. "One thing I learned a long time ago, somebody’s fist comes up that's a challenge to fight and I'm not going to take the first punch in the face. I threw the first punch. I hit him right in the eye," Falzon said. "As I'm coming over the seat, he throws his arms up in an X and he says, ‘Richard. Richard Ramirez, man, Richard Ramirez. That's the name,’" Falzon said.
Ironically, the recorded confession would be used by White’s defense team to help get sympathy from the jury. White was only convicted of manslaughter charges after using the famous "Twinkie defense," setting off outrage among the city’s gay community and others.
