Zodiac Killer
identified, linked to sixth murder, cold-case squad claims
By
A
cold-case task force claims it has identified the notorious Zodiac Killer, who
terrorized Northern California in the late 1960s and taunted authorities with
cryptic notes.
Investigators
with the Case Breakers told Fox News that the group — led by former FBI agents and
retired law enforcement officials — has identified the infamous killer as Gary
Francis Poste, who died in 2018.
They
also tied the infamous serial killer to a sixth murder in Southern California.
The Zodiac Killer had already been linked to five murders in 1968 and 1969 in
the San Francisco area by the FBI.
During
his spree, the madman sent a series of letters to local newspapers, in which he
coined his nickname and threatened more slayings if they weren’t printed. Some
letters included ciphers — with some puzzles still unsolved decades later.
One
cipher received by the San Francisco Chronicle in 1969 was finally cracked in December,
revealing a message that said he wasn’t scared of being executed if ever
caught.
But
years of digging led to new forensic evidence in the case, including photos
from Poste’s darkroom that show scars on his forehead match scars on the sketch
of the Zodiac, the team told Fox News.
