Reporters wondered if the infamous Zodiac killer, who has claimed responsibility for 37 unsolved California murders and is still loose, might be involved. The other notion was that somebody had been inspired by a thriller written 18 years ago by Hugh Pentecost, The Day the Children Vanished. Pentecost's tale describes the disappearance of a station wagon full of pupils. In his story, kidnapers load the wagon onto a large truck and take the children to a remote barn.
