Mike Rodelli would describe himself as a diligent researcher, author and lifelong student of any topic that catches his interest, mainly unsolved mysteries. These included, in the 1970s, the mystery of Oak Island and the search for the lost Spanish galleon, The Atocha, which almost inspired Mike to leave graduate school and head to Florida to try to join the late Mel Fisher in his search. Originally from Woodside, NY, his education includes a B.A. in Biology from Montclair State College (now a University) where he graduated Summa Cum Laude, and a M.S. in Biological Oceanography from University of Rhode Island. Always on a quest to help other people and a never ending quest for knowledge and new experiences, he has held various jobs in the health and business sectors. Little did Mike know that his eclectic interests and academic background coupled with his varied work experiences would prove most useful as he sought out evidence and even took on controversial DNA findings that nearly derailed his investigation in 2002, in order to solve the world famous case of the Zodiac killer.

Mike is long time NJ resident, an avid NY Mets and NY Rangers fan, who also enjoys reading and doing battle with the Sunday New York Times Crossword Puzzle, where he occasionally declares victory. He is currently researching a fascinating and complex story for a second true-crime book. Mike. currently resides in Atlantic City, NJ.
