History, Who?


The most famous question asked is “Who is the Zodiac Killer?” In the beginning an unknown person began a marvelous killing spree to detonate his satisfaction of murdering humans. He eventually called himself Zodiac, which he attacked the Northern part of California in the 1060’s which led into the earliest time of the 1970’s. This killer used his cranium to personally make killings and tease the media. The Zodiac sent many letters to the newspaper businesses and the detectives that were involved in this case. She/he mainly went after couples that were alone and departed from everyone. After his first killing he from then on gave clues out to the media encouraging anyone to figure his puzzles out to save the next person’s life. “He took responsibility for murdering as many as 37 people, but police investigators confirmed that seven people were attacked by the Zodiac of which five died.”(http://crime.about.com/od/history/a/zodiackiller.htm). Many people say that he was just an image of an insane person that enjoyed feeding off of peoples’ reactions and the enjoyment that he had after killing someone. “The murders were the subject of intense investigation and media coverage, particularly because of the killer’s taunting letters and phone calls, in which he explained the mystical and intellectual bases of his decision to kill.” (http://school.eb.com/eb/article-9389351?query=The%20Zodiac%20Killer&ct=eb).  Everyone was always focused on who he was that many didn’t try to figure his riddles and puzzles and gave up opportunities on saving others. Detectives and the media tried time and time again to catch The Zodiac Killer, yet it seemed like such a challenge for everyone.
