I found this case interesting because The Zodiac Killer is not as "passive" as other killers, the Zodiac played and challenged the SFPD making jokes for his incompetence because they couldn't found him.Well,here is in short the Zodiac story.
The Zodiac
Killer was a murderer who attacked San Francisco's Bay in late 60s and early
70s, this character was a mystery for the police and society because the Zodiac
never was caught and the case still un-solved. Dressed in black and wearing an
executioner style hood with the symbol that recognized him in the chest, a
cross circle, the Zodiac Killer terrified the area.
He attacked
couples in lonely and isolated areas except for his seventh victim, Paul Stine
a taxi driver, The Zodiac Killer claimed to kill 37 people but police only
confirmed 7 attacks of which 5 died. Sometimes he attacked by knife and
sometimes with guns, but always a different weapon of his others crimes.
The Zodiac
Killer wasn't an ordinary serial killer who only attacks and cares for his
trace, this Killer was a special case, he sent letters to 3 different
newspapers and he demanded to be published in front page, that letters had been
written with cryptic script, only one cryptogram was solved and it talked about
the reason for the murders “When I die, will be reborn in paradise and the I
have killed will become my slaves.” , but that is not the shocking part of his
letter, in special this sentence was alarming “I like killing people because it
is so much fun, it’s more fun that killing wild game because man is the most
dangerous animal of all to kill.”
As I say before, the Zodiac Killer case has not
been resolved even after 40 years of developing in fingerprints and DNA
technology.
P.S. I am not giving a lot information because in our presentation we are going to talk about The Zodiac Killer case.
