    This is about the mysterious serial killer, only known as The Doodler or The Black Doodler and the victims. His victims were mainly found at Ocean Beach in California. Most of his victims were men from out of town that he would meet at gay nightclubs and bars. He would flirt with them and sketch their picture on a cocktail napkin. Afterwards, they'd leave the bar or nightclub. The men that had been sketched had the expectations of sex. However, that is not what the Doodler had in mind at all.There were three survivors that are known of but since they didn't want to reveal they were gay by testifying on the stand, there were never charges pressed on the suspect the police highly believed was the serial killer.Website: https://ReverieTrueCrime.wixsite.com/podcastBrand new merch: https://reverie-true-crime-podcast.creator-spring.comPatreon: https://www.Patreon.com/ReverieTrueCrimeFacebook: https://www.Facebook.com/ReverieTrueCrimeTwitter: https://www.Twitter.com/ReverieCrimePodInstagram: https://www.Instagram.com/ReverieTrueCrimeTumblr: https://reverietruecrime.tumblr.comContact: ReverieTrueCrime@gmail.comSOURCES:www.newspapers.com https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports/1974/06/24/jae-stevens_san-francisco-california-usa_1fbe8eb1 https://www.wattpad.com/564119197-true-crime-the-black-doodler https://www.horrorgalore.com/true-story/doodler-gays-serial-killer https://questersite.wordpress.com/2015/11/19/doodled-to-death-the-victims/ https://globaltimesng.com/2021/04/04/shocking-story-of-the-doodler-a-serial-killer-who-drew-victims-on-cocktail-napkins-before-murdering-them/ https://www.tori.ng/news/166891/shocking-story-of-the-doodler-a-serial-killer-who.html https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/doodler-age-progression-photo-sfpd-13594549.php https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doodler https://www.theawl.com/2014/12/the-untold-story-of-the-doodler-murders/ https://vimeo.com/315741602 https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/the-doodler-serial-killer-cold-case-unsolved-13014008.php https://abcnews.go.com/US/details-released-unsolved-doodler-serial-killer-case-1970s/story?id=60882384 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9393079/Killer-Doodler-drew-pictures-victims-murdering-alive.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2019/02/07/police-relaunch-search-doodler-serial-killer-who-sketched-his-victims-first/ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/112513652/gerald-earl-cavanaugh https://beckyisasleep.wordpress.com/2020/12/28/serial-killer-the-doodler/ https://truecrimediva.com/who-was-the-doodler/ https://cryptail.wordpress.com/the-doodler/ https://filmdaily.co/obsessions/true-crime/the-doodler/ https://www.altaonline.com/dispatches/a7181/doodler-serial-killer-zack-ruskin/ https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/sadistic-serial-killer-doodler-alive-23832191 https://www.grunge.com/367769/the-doodler-the-truth-about-the-unidentified-serial-killer/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-sketch-doodler-serial-killer-case-1970s-be-released-san-n968461 https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/us/doodler-cold-case-murders/index.html https://www.ktvu.com/news/ktvu-investigation-reignites-interest-in-the-doodler-serial-killer-case-from-the-1970s https://www.reuters.com/article/us-crime-doodler/san-francisco-police-post-reward-for-serial-killer-dubbed-the-doodler-idUSKCN1PW2XG https://www.newsweek.com/san-francisco-doodler-serial-killer-gay-men-murdered-reward-homicide-cold-1322095 https://www.intomore.com/impact/the-doodler-is-the-gay-serial-killer-youve-never-heard-about/ https://aydintepemedya.com/world-news/serial-killer-the-doodler-drew-victims-on-cocktail-napkins-before-murdering-them/ https://questersite.wordpress.com/category/true-crimecold-case/the-doodler/ https://www.mrt.com/bayarea/article/the-doodler-serial-killer-cold-case-unsolved-13014008.php https://listverse.com/2018/06/29/10-haunting-facts-of-the-doodler-of-san-francisco/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1947063/horrifying-serial-killer-known-as-the-doodler-would-draw-his-gay-victims-before-murdering-them/ https://medium.com/the-true-crime-edition/will-the-doodler-be-the-next-unmasked-serial-killer-dcab63c6c389 https://thoughtcatalog.com/jim-goad/2019/12/the-doodler-slayer-of-at-least-five-gay-men-in-the-1970s-has-never-been-caught/ https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/hunt-serial-killer-who-made-13983098 https://www.wendyheard.com/thedoodler https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/110427510/new-doodler-killer-sketch-and-anonymous-audio-released https://synwritestruehistoryschool.wordpress.com/2020/08/16/the-doodler-murders/ https://peoplepill.com/people/doodler https://www.datalounge.com/thread/14703356--the-doodler-a-serial-killer-of-gay-men-in-san-frisco-in-the-70s https://content.pubify.net/index.php?q=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ3J1bmdlLmNvbS8zNjc3NjkvdGhlLWRvb2RsZXItdGhlLXRydXRoLWFib3V0LXRoZS11bmlkZW50aWZpZWQtc2VyaWFsLWtpbGxlci8=
