why hasnt anyone thought of the idea that SOMEONE COULD HAVE TAKEN HIS PLACE as the killer... it would explain the mistake in the letters and the random change in mannerisms
I lived in the East Bay (1982 to 1990ish). There is a theory that the killings were done by a small group of "dedicated" Satanist. They had connections with crimes on the Presidio. And the connections get really strong as the "peek thru the pines" postcard location is investigated. Kathleen Johns (kidnapped with her infant daughter by the Zodiac) told police that he kept referring to "we, and us" when talking to her....
@@robinluck2922 I don't know sir I dont think zodiac was more than one person. Multiple people means more chances for a mistake, a mistake that would cost him a mistake he never made.

Pretty sure he died back in the 70s when the original letters stopped. All letters since then are copycats. He was too cocky and loved the attention too much to stop bragging.
I think the Zodiac was in the military or was turned away from the military. I think they should check military service records from that time like who was stationed at the Presidio.

Also if you knew about animating you'd know just one of the videos probably took way longer than an hour....1 hour of animating is equal to about a 10-15 minute stretch depending how good you are and what technology ur using and also how detailed the animation is.
My dad worked at an oil refinery about a mile from where one of the murders took place. The following night he was atop an oil tank when he heard gunshots. He dropped to his belly but he knew he could still be seen by whoever was shooting. Scared out of his mind he got on the radio. The police were called, but it turned out the shooter was an armed security guard in the industrial park next to the refinery who was shooting at jack rabbits. He didn't know anything about the killings that had taken place just up the road.
I think the Zodiac was a few people under 1 alias. Firstly, it would make the letter talking about control make sense. The letter could have been written by a member of the group that didn’t want to continue and only had one chance to show his regret. Secondly, his multiple different ways of killings could be the different styles of killing across different people.
No, he's only one. It was NOT Arthur Lee Allen. Yes there are several alarming coincidences but that's all they are... alarming coincidences. Only one person could keep such a devious situation secret. Someone always spills the beans. He's dead.
No way!!! 2 people can’t keep a secret! The probable of getting apprehended increases EXPONENTIALLY as the number of participants increases! I do think, however, that your theory could apply to the “group” WITHIN his own head(MPD).
couldnt the zodiac killer have just died after 1974?? Or took his own life because he was awaiting the so called "slaves" that he had aquired. Im very curious
Why would a greedy man avoid money, the reference is greedy man being the zodiac killer and money being his victims whom he believed would be his slaves in the afterlife
I grew up in San Francisco when the Zodiac was active. My parents had a summer cabin at Lake Berryessa. He was a frequent topic of conversation in those days.
@@tinapourshirazi2471yes his name was revealed to be Benjamin Dover, they found out it was him by completely decoding the cypher and realizing each letter had cyphers within the cyphers that added up into a larger cypher.
Star.....HIS BROTHER TURNED HIM IN. It was ONLY after his family reported that it might be the brother did they tie him to the letters. Then where he lived, what they found where he lived. His writings as a college instructor and writings found where he lived in that shack. The police profile was so off that it was basically useless. Take a look at that police profile from so-called "witnesses" and take a look at the killer when he was arrested. Not even close. In fact eye witnesses actually hampered the search.
His brothers wife read his manifest and said to her husband that everything in the manifest was exactly Howe you’re brother complain wen we meet him ! And he saw it and understand that it was his brother and disides to write a letter to the squad that investiggate the case and a linguist Read the letter and understand right away that they were right and that the unibomber was idenified
imagine if the “zodiac” wasnt just ONE person, but 12 people based on the 12 astrological zodiac signs? that would explain some mistakes or differences.
Umm cults. Look at Diddy and his rabbit hole includes so many people who are all in on it, Diddy is just ONE of the many involved in musicians over the years in the industry being murdered.
@@stephenpmurphy591 I never said it was Aurthur, and the letter shares many similarities to the Zodiacs other letters, the handwriting as well is spot on to the Zodiacs other letters, Personally I believe the Zodiac was Richard Gaikowski
In my opinion, the Zodiac killer was a cultist. In both cracked ciphers he referred to his victims as his slaves in the afterlife. Perhaps he was part of a cult or neopaganism group in San Francisco. He also references "The Dangerous Game" as if he was a hunter hunting humans as elusive beasts. I think that locating the cult that shares his beliefs and seeing if they had a following in San Francisco in the 1960s and 70s might help investigators find him. Perhaps (though it's unlikely) the cult has a ledger of members with donations. Cult leaders are often frauds who manipulate vulnerable and impressionable people to pay them money and serve them as gods. If you locate the cult you may locate the Zodiac.
THIS IS A GREAT STRATEGY FOR CATCHING THE ZODIAC KILLER. ALONG WITH MY SUGGESTION. JUST LIKE THE LOCAL F.B.I. AND THE POLICE DETECTIVES FOUND THE BOSTON MARATHON KILLERS. USING THE LOCAL BUSINESS CAMRAS. FRAME BY FRAME. THE F.B.I. AND TOP DETECTIVES CAN ASK NASA TO BACK TRACK ON TOP VIEWS OF EARTH. FROM EXACTLY WHAT TIMES THE SHOOTINGS TOOK PLACE OF THE COUPLE IN LOVERS LANE. FROM WHERE THE ZODIAC KILLER WALKS FROM. WHERE THE ZODIAC KILLER WALKS TO AFTER HE SHOOTS THE VICTIMS. WITH TOP VIEWS OF THE ZODIAC KILLER. IF HE GO'S TO A CAR. FROM TOP VIEWS FROM THE NASA SATALITES THEY CAN FOLLOW THE CAR. THEN USE ALL LOCAL BUSINESS CAMRAS TO GET A VIEW OF THE FACE OF THE ZODIAC KILLER. I DON'T BELIEVE THE ZODIAC KILLER WAS WEARING A FACE MASK WHEN HE USED THE PAY PHONE TO CALL THE NEWS CHANNEL. THAT WOULD HAVE LOOKED TOO SUSPICIOUS. BY USING THE TOP VIEWS FROM THE NASA SATALITES. THIS IS HOW ACTOR BILL COSBY FOUND OUT WHO EXACTLY KILLED HIS SON ON MULHOLLAND DRIVE. NOW THEN ALSO USING ALL LOCAL CITY CAMERAS THIS IS HOW THE POLICE DETECTIVES AND THE F.B.I. FOUND THE BOSTON MARATHON KILLERS. THE ZODIAC KILLER MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE. ALTHOUGH HE MIGHT BE OLD. HE STILL NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED. ITS UNKONWN HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE HE HAS KILLED SINCE HE STOPPED CALLING IN HIS CRIMES. THIS IS MY TAKE ON HOW THEY CAN CATCH THE ZODIAC KILLER. PLUS ONCE THEY ARE GETTING CLOSE TO FINDING THIS SUSOECT. THEY CAN INVESTIGATE AT ALL LOCAL PEOPLE THAT ENJOY DOING CEPHERS OR USING CODING TO SPEAK IN WRITTING.
That makes absolutely no sense, as there’s never been a shred of evidence indicating any cult. It’s also proven by the letters, which. would’ve had at least at least 1 reference to any cult. But, everything in them clearly references just himself
Honestly too many people think this guy was a genius. He wasn't completely dumb, but a very sloppy killer. He never go caught due to bad police work and a bit of luck.
@@Staxx0 he never got caught cause he vanish and back then police apartment was not good at their job that’s why most serial killers got away with amount of murders they did in past while now it’s so much things we had that we didn’t have in past

@@kathykline7202 Doesn't change the fact that the 3 witnesses that called the police said it was a white man with reddish -blonde hair. They saw him from 60 feet away.
He likely died in the 70s after the communications stopped. Probably from something like a car accident or something, likely nothing related to his crimes. There have been several copycats since then. But the original zodiac was too cocky and loved the attention too much to just stop taunting the police like that.
Maybe the Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who actually got caught, but under a different identity, but if that's not the case and someone would want to continue the investigation, they should look for someone who's around 70-90, seeing as he was described as "around the 20s or 30s". OR maybe they are well and truly dead, because it's suspected he belonged in the rubber room, he could have committed suicide once he decided he had enough slaves.
I honestly think it was all three! They all were close to the murders, and the cyphers were so hard, they might have been working together to make the ultimate cypher, and the group disbanded.
There's not a lot to really go off in the unsubs mo. For the most part what we can work with is that he was a targeting couples and often shooting the men more (could have had a past traumatic experience where a man was cheating with his partner) but then the picnic couple he decided to stab them instead of shooting. This time attacking the woman more (this could maybe give a clue that they closely resembled the people of his traumatic past and he was more angry with the woman)
1. "unsub" LOLOLOLOL. You have been watching too much Criminal Minds. 2. If anything, the FEMALES seem more like the main targets (before Stine, at least), as he made sure that the 3 women in the first 3 attacks all died, while 2 of the 3 men lived.
Yeah if someone comes up to you with a gun and tells you to tie up you significant other. Just fight. You’re probably gonna die anyway but at least your other can run during the confusion.
You fight. Many criminals are drunk in power. If you make them feel or perceive they are weak and you are stronger by not letting them induce fear they shrivel up and lose their bad intentions.
@@papijess6550 That is very possible but it could also be the ppl he killed as he believes they will serve him in the afterlife. This is the solved message if you haven't seen or heard it "I hope you are having lots of fun in trying to catch me That wasn't me on the TV show which brings up a point about me I am not afraid of the gas chamber because it will send me to paradice all the sooner Because I now have enough slaves to work for me where everyone else has nothing when they reach paradice so they are afraid of death I am not afraid because I know that my new life will be an easy one in paradice death"
No fr.. when I first heard about the zodiac killer, I thought he targeted at people who were a specific zodiac or smthng like that.. Turns out I was wrong 😶
I've heard so many different theories on why he stopped killing but I've never heard anyone say this. Maybe he was like terminally sick and knew he only had so long left to live so he figured he was gonna do anything at all that he wanted to do since there'd never be any repercussions for him, even if he had gotten caught what would it have mattered if he was terminally sick? So he decided he was gonna try killing as many people as possible and send the cops and the media ciphers that even if they were solved still wouldn't be helpful cause he knew that by the time they cracked the codes if they cracked the codes he'd already be dead.
Ngl. Props to him. It’s hard to stay hidden for so many years especially with recent technology. I can imaging a 70 year old man watching these videos about himself and laughing at how simple the cypher was really to him.
@real madrid he still deserves no praise and maybe the police were a little slower back then the cyphers were obviously clever but they knew he called in his coulda been ready they even walked past him
No, you shouldn’t give props to a person who got off on murdering people because they never got caught. You certainly wouldn’t be giving him props if he killed someone you cared about. Wtf is wrong with you.
The different police agencies working the case were bad at sharing information with each other in those days and legend has it they were competing to catch him which if true could be the reason he was never caught.
Theorie time: In the video was said that he stated in a letter that he doesn't fear death bc he believes he's killed enough people who'll be his slaves in the after life. Picking up from that, I think it might as well be possible he killed himself... ('S of course just a Theorie)
He was a megalomaniac, if he'd have killed himself then he would have been denied the ongoing rush of his crimes....the interplay with the authority ect.....
It's crazy because I'm from Vallejo. I've always heard stories and seen the movie about the Zodiac killer. Pretty sure he's gone, but the stories are very chilling
also i think he challenged 4 different police departments to show how the information would stay in there original departments and they would do no sharing, not sharing the information is where they failed.
@@theonlineanimal6009 glad you got justice. It's selfish to think you can end the life of another person just for an ego.. I would've sentenced you to the Fire squad on public access. You would serve as a demonstration to all who dare think they can take the lives of the innocent.
If your grandpa died and while cleaning out their home you came across the hood the zodiac wore in the Lake Berryessa killing would you tell anybody? I probably wouldn’t. I wouldn’t want my family name to be associated with a psychopathic killer. I have a feeling I’m not the only person to feel this way and it may have actually happened already.
the cyphers and saying that it was an imposter calling in at the beginning reminds me of light from death note. Even if the motives aren't the same. The shinigami being his multiple personalities.
Earl Van Best Jr. is definitely a part of the Zodiac group. His motivation was due to being ridiculed in the SF newspaper by Averly, (The Ice Cream Parlor Romance). A part of the Zodiac but not the whole Sundae...

I feel like he killed young couples because he was lonely, which is kinda sad
I was wondering if I was the only one noticing he was killing young couples

he has never been identified
Sounds like the cops and the zodiac are just strange pen pals 😂

Maybe the Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who actually got caught, but under a different identity, but if that's not the case and someone would want to continue the investigation, they should look for someone who's around 70-90, seeing as he was described as "around the 20s or 30s". OR maybe they are well and truly dead, because it's suspected he belonged in the rubber room, he could have committed suicide once he decided he had enough slaves.
I honestly think it was all three! They all were close to the murders, and the cyphers were so hard, they might have been working together to make the ultimate cypher, and the group disbanded.
Yeah like the 3 letters sent. The different methods of killing shooting, stabbing ect.
They must have his DNA now. They caught the golden state killer so why cant they get the zodiac
I think because they don't have his DNA to much it with the DNA they found
The DNA is so old it has deteriorated so they cant get his DNA with modern technology
@@theguy4403 they can get dna via his family.

There's not a lot to really go off in the unsubs mo. For the most part what we can work with is that he was a targeting couples and often shooting the men more (could have had a past traumatic experience where a man was cheating with his partner) but then the picnic couple he decided to stab them instead of shooting. This time attacking the woman more (this could maybe give a clue that they closely resembled the people of his traumatic past and he was more angry with the woman)
1. "unsub" LOLOLOLOL. You have been watching too much Criminal Minds.
2. If anything, the FEMALES seem more like the main targets (before Stine, at least), as he made sure that the 3 women in the first 3 attacks all died, while 2 of the 3 men lived.
Yeah if someone comes up to you with a gun and tells you to tie up you significant other. Just fight. You’re probably gonna die anyway but at least your other can run during the confusion.
You fight. Many criminals are drunk in power. If you make them feel or perceive they are weak and you are stronger by not letting them induce fear they shrivel up and lose their bad intentions.
Never go down without a fight!!!
What if he was the man on the show and he actually has multiple personality disorder
That could explain why a victim of his said that when he spoke he used “we” or “us”
@@papijess6550 exactly
@@papijess6550 That is very possible but it could also be the ppl he killed as he believes they will serve him in the afterlife.
This is the solved message if you haven't seen or heard it
"I hope you are having lots of fun in trying to catch me
That wasn't me on the TV show which brings up a point about me
I am not afraid of the gas chamber because it will send me to paradice all the sooner
Because I now have enough slaves to work for me where everyone else has nothing when they reach paradice so they are afraid of death
I am not afraid because I know that my new life will be an easy one in paradice death"

Turns out I was wrong 😶
So why is it called zodiac killer?
2:30 he was just tryna get some sloppy :(
Yoooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@uncivilized_jack5366 and so is his gf
@@fansalad8693 BRUUUUU
I've heard so many different theories on why he stopped killing but I've never heard anyone say this. Maybe he was like terminally sick and knew he only had so long left to live so he figured he was gonna do anything at all that he wanted to do since there'd never be any repercussions for him, even if he had gotten caught what would it have mattered if he was terminally sick? So he decided he was gonna try killing as many people as possible and send the cops and the media ciphers that even if they were solved still wouldn't be helpful cause he knew that by the time they cracked the codes if they cracked the codes he'd already be dead.
Interesting idea. My theory is that he realized how lucky he had gotten to not be caught and quit while he was ahead.
I to believe the symbol Zodiac used is an Celtic Cross. P.S. He stated no longer to announce his murders.
No it’s inspired by a helicopter pad or something
Ngl.
Props to him.
It’s hard to stay hidden for so many years especially with recent technology.
I can imaging a 70 year old man watching these videos about himself and laughing at how simple the cypher was really to him.
Don’t give him and praise at all I don’t care if he’s the smartest person in the whole world he doesn’t deserve any praise
@real madrid he still deserves no praise and maybe the police were a little slower back then the cyphers were obviously clever but they knew he called in his coulda been ready they even walked past him
No, you shouldn’t give props to a person who got off on murdering people because they never got caught. You certainly wouldn’t be giving him props if he killed someone you cared about. Wtf is wrong with you.
@real madrid No he really wasn’t that clever.
I agree he’s extremely smart but you should praise a serial killer.
Last time I was Soo Early, Zodiac Was Chilling Around With his Party ie victims
I believe that the entire point of the puzzles was to slow the police
Yes. I guess so.
All day everyday.
I just want you to know I’m a huge fan and have been one for over a year , love this show so much
Same
zodiac detected
I love staying up all night learning about random history facts
The different police agencies working the case were bad at sharing information with each other in those days and legend has it they were competing to catch him which if true could be the reason he was never caught.
Hes probably alive by now at 70 to 77 years old , that's crazy he may be watching this
Theorie time:
In the video was said that he stated in a letter that he doesn't fear death bc he believes he's killed enough people who'll be his slaves in the after life. Picking up from that, I think it might as well be possible he killed himself...
('S of course just a Theorie)
He was a megalomaniac, if he'd have killed himself then he would have been denied the ongoing rush of his crimes....the interplay with the authority ect.....
*Infographics is the best channel on UA-cam* ⭐
Robert sepehr
It's crazy because I'm from Vallejo. I've always heard stories and seen the movie about the Zodiac killer. Pretty sure he's gone, but the stories are very chilling
also i think he challenged 4 different police departments to show how the information would stay in there original departments and they would do no sharing, not sharing the information is where they failed.
Woah this video needs more attention, it's so long and informative!
51:00 *”Honey, get my metal shoe, I’m going Zodiac hunting.”*
Incredible how he got away with it, truly.

@@Vivi-fm2nl there's a doc series on Netflix on the hotel about one missing person. They go into the history of the hotel too
They should try taking the first letter of each letter/cipher and see if it says something. I think its a code within the codes
the cyphers and saying that it was an imposter calling in at the beginning reminds me of light from death note. Even if the motives aren't the same. The shinigami being his multiple personalities.

Earl Van Best Jr. is definitely a part of the Zodiac group. His motivation was due to being ridiculed in the SF newspaper by Averly, (The Ice Cream Parlor Romance). A part of the Zodiac but not the whole Sundae...

I started watching and then realized it was an hour long
A lot of times when there's a long break in murders and then start again is usually when they are incarcerated on non related charges.. creepy!!
