A Notorious Serial Killer
The Zodiac Killer was a notorious serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Over the course of several years, the Zodiac Killer murdered at least five people and taunted the authorities with a series of letters with cryptic messages and puzzles. Despite a massive investigation, the killer was never caught, and the case remains one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in American history.
San Francisco, 1968
The Zodiac Killer first made headlines in 1968, when he killed a young couple who were on a date in a secluded area near San Francisco. Over the next few years, he killed at least four more people, always in secluded areas where he could avoid being seen.
As the killings continued, the Zodiac Killer began to send letters and puzzles to the authorities and the media, taunting them with his crimes and challenging them to catch him. He also sent letters to the families of his victims, causing, even more, fear and distress.
Never Caught
Despite the massive manhunt that was launched to catch the Zodiac Killer, he was never caught. He disappeared from the public eye in the early 1970s, and no one knows for certain what happened to him. Some believe that he may have died or gone into hiding, while others think that he may still be alive and could still be committing crimes.
The Zodiac Killer remains one of the most famous and enigmatic serial killers of all time. His crimes continue to fascinate and horrify people, and the mystery of his identity remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history.
