Gareth Sewell Penn (born 1941) is an American true crime author and amateur detective known for being among the first non-journalists to write about the Zodiac Killer case. He published a theory about the killer's motives, publicly accused a noted UC Berkeley public policy professor of the crimes, and labeled himself a one-time suspect. Reviewing the 2007 David Fincher film ''Zodiac'' for the ''Las Vegas Weekly'', Mike D'Angelo wrote, "I think the movie erred in selecting author Robert Graysmith as its source and nominal protagonist. Zodiac buffs know well that the true obsessive is a fellow named Gareth Penn."〔D'Angelo, Mike (March 1, 2007). ("Magnificent obsession: 'Zodiac' finds glory in investigative details" ). ''Las Vegas Weekly''.〕 ==Early life== Penn graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1962 with a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) in Germanic languages and again in 1965 with an Master of Arts (MA) in Medieval Germanic languages. He received a Master of Library Science (MLS) from U.C. Berkeley in 1971.〔 In 1965, Penn entered the United States Army in Berlin, Germany and received basic training at Fort Dix, New Jersey. He received artillery survey training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he became an Artillery Surveyor Instructor. He received the National Defense Service Medal and the designation of Expert Rifle Marksman. In 1967, Penn moved back to Berkeley, California, where he was transferred to the Army reserves. He was honorably discharged in 1971.〔 *Penn, Gareth, ''Times 17: The Amazing Story of the Zodiac Murders in California and Massachusetts, 1966-1981'' (The Foxglove Press, CA, April 1987).
