A few years ago didn’t a group of code breakers solve the cypher left by the Zodiac Killer ??

[Red Badger]

Yes............

[Boogieman]

There’s about a hundred people who have been “identified” as the Zodiac killer, and many of them by their own family members.

I’ll wait to see some actual evidence myself.

[Jim W N]

Dunno. That Arthur Leigh Allen seemed pretty certain to be the guy. Overweight as reported by surviving victims, he died of a heart attack upon learning officials and investigators were coming for him again.

[cdcdawg]

Poste’s former daughter-in-law, who asked only to be identified as Michelle, exclusively told RadarOnline.com that she “absolutely 100 percent believes Gary was the Zodiac Killer!”

“He was entirely capable of those murders! There was something deeply wrong with him,” she told this outlet. “He was twisted, sadistic and very, very secretive. He didn’t like to go out anywhere! He went to work and that was it.”

Maybe so. I think putting this whole thing to rest might require a bit more.

“He was twisted, sadistic and very, very secretive. He didn’t like to go out anywhere! He went to work and that was it.”

Well, that definitely proves it.

People still argue to this day who Jack The Ripper was.

[Sacajaweau]

Please...please....pick me...I want to write a book and tell my story.

Was he in the Air Force when he did the crimes? If he was, I guess the characterization is fine. Otherwise, I am not sure why they keep using that label….did he do nothing else in his 80 years?

Slightly off topic, however thousands of people go missing in the US evey year and a large part of those are never found.

I strongly suspect there are (and have been) many serial killers prowling this country for a long time that never get caught.

The only reason whoever this was got noticed is they taunted the police.

Most just kill and keep quiet about it, many probably stay on the move traveling the country like Ted bundy did.

Israel Keyes is another good example.
If he wouldn’t have extorted money from one of his victims families he more than likely would never have been caught either.

IIRC, one of the ‘clues’ was a boot print found at one or more crime scenes that was only from an Air Force issued boot....................

Poste allegedly murdered at least five known victims in the San Francisco Bay area under the guise of the Zodiac Killer – as well as an additional 32 other victims before his death.

WTF? What is this sentence saying? That he murdered 32 victims before his death and five known victims AFTER his death?? LOL.

[Valpal1]

“a few years prior to Poste’s 2018 death at 80, he had quietly given away his weapons, pistol parts, gunpowder, bullets and shell casings – more than a thousand, involving 25 different calibers – to his favorite locals”

Okay, but that is neither peculiar or anti-social. It is in fact, completely normal behavior to divest yourself of hobby stuff when you get so old you lose interest and ability to use it. It’s what grumpy old men do.

Old ladies give away china, crystal and silver and other tchotchkes. I’m talking about you, Franklin Mint! The bane of grandchildren everywhere.

I believe that they have the killers DNA from the letter he sent at the time. Shouldn’t be too hard to check that against this suspect.

[Beowulf9]

I’m always wishing and joking they prove the Zodiac killer’s identity by finding’that outfit’ in a closet of a suspect and then I read there was a guy who had a hooded garment in his closet and who died the year before his son claimed his stepfather was the Zodiac. Jack Terrance.

He also had “military boots, a bloody knife, disturbing images on rolls of film, handwriting samples of his stepfather he claimed were very similar to the Zodiac letters - and more unbelievably - a black executioner’s style hood found rolled up and concealed within the confines of an amplifier”. https://www.zodiacciphers.com/jack-tarrance.html

Was this guy really ruled out?

I wish they would show us a photograph of that hooded garment! Evidently there was some discretion as to whether or not it was not the same as the Zodiac owned.
