The Zodiac Killer

"I like killing people because it is so much fun."

> The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in northern California.

> The killer originated the name "Zodiac" in a series of taunting letters sent to the local Bay Area press. 

> He only has a confirmed body count of 5,although he is suspected of committing as many as 37 murders in total.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Since the zodiac killer was never caught,nothing definitive is known about him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> The first known confirmed Zodiac murders took place on December 20, 1968 on Lake Herman Road in California.

> The victims were shot with a .22 handgun.

> On August 1 -1968, the Vallejo Times-Chronicle, the San Francisco Examiner and the San Francisco Chronicle received near-identical letters from the Zodiac.

Letter From The Zodiac KIller

                                              

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>  He took the credit for the murders by stating several facts about the crime scenes such as what the victims were wearing, how their bodies were positioned and what brand of ammunition he used.

>The letters also contained one part of a three-part cypher designed by the Zodiac, who ordered all three papers to publish the cyphers on their front pages.

> He threatened to go on a killing spree over the weekend if the papers didn't comply.

> All three papers published the cypher, which was cracked after a little more than a week by Donald and Betty Harden. In the decoded message, the Zodiac claimed to have been killing in order to collect slaves for his afterlife.

> The next Zodiac letter came the day before the cypher was cracked. In it, the Zodiac named himself for the first time and gave more details about the murders.

Schematic of a bomb that was never found, detailing the "score": Zodiac=10, SPFD=0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> the San Francisco Chronicle received a letter in which the Zodiac threatened to kill all the passengers of a schoolbus.

>  He included a piece of Paul Stine's bloody shirt. 

> Though this was the last of the Zodiac's confirmed killings, he continued writing letters.

"Though he claimed responsibility for several murders during this time, it is generally believed that he lied for the attention."
