FBI has identified Zodiac Killer as Air Force veteran Gary Francis Poste - who died in 2018 - and has partial DNA sample that could link him to five serial murders, cold case investigator claims

A cold case investigator is claiming that the FBI has identified the man suspected to be the infamous 'Zodiac Killer' and believes the authorities didn't look into him enough when he was alive.

Journalist Thomas Colbert says that an FBI whistleblower confirmed to him that Air Force veteran Gary Francis Poste, who has been previously posited as the killer, is currently listed as a suspect.

He claims that FBI labs have a 'partial' DNA sample on Poste that links him to the murders. Poste has been dead since 2018.

'The felon has been secretly listed as the Zodiac 'suspect' in Headquarters' computers since 2016,' Colbert's organization, Case Breakers, said in a statement.

The FBI has been denying that the long-open case has been solved, confirming it was open as recently as October 2021.

That same month, Poste was identified by Case Breakers as their leading suspect in at least five murders that took place in the Bay Area in 1968 and 1969.

On Wednesday, the organization announced they think they have evidence tying Poste to all of the murders, including a sixth victim from 1966 whom the FBI has denied was connected to the Zodiac Killer.

Case Breakers believes that the federal law enforcement has ignored evidence and state laws in their mishandling of the case.

'Like cops, federal agents are dealing with huge caseloads, constant training, odd rules and bureaucracy,' their FBI whistleblower says.

People have always thought the Zodiac killer was some kind of military.

Seems this guy was air force.

Geeze, I’m currently living in Riverside, about a mile west of the air force base. It kinda’ makes me shudder even though it’s safe now, I’m sure.

What I'm recalling (from memory), one of the clues was from footware prints that only matched a specific sort of boot only issued by a specific branch of the military that was not widely available to the public at that time.

I never bothered to watch the movie Zodiac (2007) until a couple of weeks ago.

I was surprised at how much I really liked it.

The “feel” was so good (opposite of the In Cold Blood miniseries dvd which I had to fast forward to get the thing over with).
Some movies have a feel I like, such as Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die and Goldfinger.

Have no idea of the genuine solution to the case. I think the bumbling, corrupt FIB will be the last to know, maybe with an agent falling over a corpse in the dark somewhere.

I thought the left had decided that Ted Cruz was the zodiac killer.

However, it fits with the FBI known behavior to know who the killer is, but refuse to let the public know. That’s their M.O. so to speak. If the crime is solved, the money to solve the crime may go away, and then what are the investigators to do?

I might have the wrong serial killer, didn’t Zodiac have some kind of expertise in complicated cryptography that is common in the military community?
