A Non Ymous writes that I have some resemblance to the Zodiac. Who the heck is the Zodiac? Glad you asked:The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s. His identity remains unknown. The Zodiac killer coined his name in a series of taunting letters he sent to the press. His letters included four cryptograms (or ciphers), three of which have yet to be solved.
The Zodiac murdered five known victims in Benicia, Vallejo, Lake Berryessa, and San Francisco between December 1968 and October 1969. Four men and three women between the ages of 16 and 29 were targeted. Numerous suspects have been named by law enforcement and amateur investigators, but no conclusive evidence has surfaced.
In April 2004, the San Francisco Police Department marked the case "inactive" but re-opened it some time before March 2007. The case also remains open in the the city of Vallejo as well as in Napa and Solano Counties. The California Department of Justice also has maintained an open case file on the Zodiac murders since 1969.
In August 2008, a Sacramento man claimed he had discovered evidence that pointed to his stepfather being the Zodiac Killer. A black hood, a knife encrusted with blood, writing samples, and rolls of photographic film were collected by the FBI.[1][2] The FBI has not said when it will release the results of its tests.[3] As of January 2009[update] those tests have neither concluded nor ruled out the suspect as the Zodiac Killer,[4] and the FBI continues to collect more evidence to build a DNA profile.[5]
