The Zodiac killer was a terror in the San Fransisco Bay Area during the era of the 1960's. Taking 37 lives . at least , if not more in number . To this day the Zodiac and the "Zodiac Killer" fascinates many to this very day.
All in all in the late 1960's the Zodiac 1960's psychopathic monster ruled the minds and hearts of most in the San Fransisco Bay regional areas. San Fransisco in the 1960's was not only love and peace , Haight Ashbury - its hippies and longhairs , drugs and lsd , with young kids tramping across the country to this legendary city , its environs and characters. The Bay Area of the late 1960's was also the favored hunting ground of the Zodiac.
It took the local police some time and puzzlement to identify the patterns of these killings. Not only was perhaps new and novel. Nothing like this had even occurred previously in the annals of the American police field and sectors. Perhaps even the Zodiac had murdered even more victims before perfecting his trade and skills . Perhaps the police had ignored or not noticed previous efforts. The killer may have never "bragged " of his work , either not being proud of it , thinking it either not worthy of his later fame, or perhaps concerned that loose clues may have abounded. It was only when the executioner became even more bold of his tales and methods , and publicized his efforts and effects to the local newspaper media both leaving cryptic puzzles , as well as bragging that "I love to kill humans ... humans are the most fun to hunt", that events and patterns clicked in and the police paid rapt attention.
The Zodiackiller would continue these letters and taunting for many years. Though only seven victims were conclusively connected to the zodiac, it's no doubt that he may have easily had a hand in the rest of the slayings.
Amazingly even with all the clues provided by the Zodiac in his taunting of the police and his boasts , the Zodiac was never caught. One would think that it would only take one single clue to give his identity area. But that never occurred. The main suspect in the case was one Arthur Leigh Allen, but no case was ever made against him. In fact it was in 2002 that DNA evidence was processed, but no links could be made to Allen in any of those tests.
The official police channels ruled out the suspects Arthur Leigh Allen and his close friend Don Cheney when envelopes that had been sent from the Zodiac executioner and his DNA were processed. But who knows. It may have been poor technique. It may have been the simple , now primitive technical DNA analysis tools and procedures available at that time in the 1960's. Or it just may of been luck and chance , on the side of the suspected duo. No matter what , these expert police officers remained suspect as well as dubious
Mr. Allen , the chief suspect by the police , in terms of the actual identity of the famed murderer died in 1992 of renal failure. He took his secrets to the grave with him. Perhaps it is rumored that the Zodiac Killer has a daughter who may one yet step forward to reveal the truth in these matters.
In the end after so much time had passed , since the 1960's , the San Fransisco Bay Area Police could do more. So much time had elapsed , the trail had gone cold , any witnesses and clues were either not available , reliable or had dried up. The police persisted and resisted attempts to close down the case and inquiry. . Finally in 2004 the case of the Zodiac Killer was officially closed.
