To this day, the real identity of the 'Doodler' is not known and the mystery has inspired citizen detectives around the globe to try to decipher whodunit.
Police Department on Thursday announced they were upping the reward to finding the "Doodler" serial killer while also linking another unsolved homicide to the mystery suspect who appeared to target gay men.
The Doodler is believed to be responsible for the violent assaults of several gay, white men in the 1970s as well as possibly six murders. He would often sketch strangers he met in local bars and use the drawings to strike up conversations with the men. He’d leave with his sketch subject from the bar, have sex with them, and later stab the man to death, police and witnesses have said.
