Maybe a typo--lack of another 3.

Also, based on the evidence, the way to solve the case is definitely not to write a book. In fact, whatever you do, do NOT write a book.

Become a cop. That's step one. Get a job in San Francisco. Step two. Get assigned to the (cold) Z case. Step three.

After having dug up all the relevant material nobody on here has seen, and drawn your conclusions based on that, get in touch with all the other jurisdictions - and look at their material. Some of which has not been seen by anyone on here either. That's step four.

Then...draw your conclusion(s) again. That's step five.

Then...hopefully you've made some kind of progress.

I doubt you'll have solved the damn thing - but at least you should've gained some juicy info you can now share with the rest of us. Which would be step six.

Ahh, but.......

"There are so many crackpots and theories, but we take the ones that come in from ex- or current law enforcement a little more seriously," said Pat McMahon, a detective with the sheriff's office in Napa County, where the Zodiac stabbed two people, one fatally, in 1969.

Which makes sense.

If ones only interest is the zodiac killer case and not helping in any other more low profile cases you will be seen as a creepy zodiac fanatic looking for fame and you will be pushed aside. Rightfully so. Idiots never even visited a crime scene or stepped foot in California to physically search out info but hey here's my f*cking book. Disgusting. Profiting off dead people. It pisses me off so much as I actually help on many cases for the right reason - not the money or fame or attention. There are monsters just as bad if not worse than the zodiac. He just so happened to get the coverage.

Would be nice for this detective to solve one of the countless cold cases that probably lies within her own jurisdiction. But oh wait that would involve a selfless extension of help devoid of ego or financial gain... And well... That wouldn't benefit her much huh.

Sorry I'm a little nasty today bc the effing cold case unit at long beach was shut down again bc of poor funding. More victims forgotten. There's plenty of cold case units going belly up everywhere. It takes community/citizens to help solve many crimes at this point.

The Zodiac built this "frenzy" by killing, writing cryptic ciphers and letters, and managing to remain a mystery for all these years. Some of us (myself included) would have eventually found the individual cases and worked those individual cases had the Zodiac NOT wrote cryptic ciphers and letters. Its the cryptic ciphers and letter writing that sucks everyone else in. Its the mystery of it all.

Now while the Zodiac may have "built" the frenzy, the media in my opinion, promoted it by publishing his work (ciphers and letters). Its further fueled by law enforcement remaining silent about the details of the crimes (excluding ciphers and letters). You would think that 20 years into it they would say "OK. This case is going nowhere. Let's take this to the public, hold back certain pieces of information, and see what new leads come our way (again, excluding, the ciphers and letters)." But no. We are now nearly 50 years into this nonsense and " kooks" as they call it are coming out of the woodwork on almost a daily basis.

So, while I may sit back and laugh at the crazy ass stories that get published, I am actually more offended that the above mentioned people first made these kooks and are now punishing them in the public eye. And if you think that you and others of this board are immune then i say think again.

Sorry but I just really despise the name Zodiac and everything it implies.

As far as the book writing and making money.....

I don't have a problem really of people writing a book, telling of their adventures, their finds, suspects, etc. They spent their time and their money researching this case. There is nothing wrong in trying to collect on that. Where the problem lies is in taste; the working of a case to simply promote ones self by using your previous experience to make a buck. That's sickening.

Now do you want to know what I really think?

Soze

Yes, I do want to know what you really think!

Someone amended the Zodiac Killer wiki article with this:

In a 2015 book, former sheriff's deputy Kimberly McGath proposed Dennis Rader, also known as the "BTK killer", as a Zodiac suspect, based on general similarities and other circumstantial evidence. Rader was stationed overseas as a member of the Air Force from 1968 through 1970.

BTK was not the murder in the zodiac case. BTK got caught!!!
Like the police couldn't figure it out with the CD. Hell,even I know
That much. But, he was cruel and sadistic and photographed his
Victims. Remember, BTK, had a family,belong to the
Community and a religious organization. Good cover!
You all know BTK is still Alife in prison, I have never Heard him say
He was the Murder in the zodiac case.

Next book will be saying that The Smile Face killer was the murderer
In the zodiac case. The smile face killer Took it very personally about
His kills. Most serial killers do!!!they do not want any one taking Credit
For it. Of course, that's what got Smile face caught. Now I'm getting
Pissed off.
