The “Zodiac Killer”: The Story of the Serial Killer

In the late 1960s, the “Zodiac Killer” murdered at least five people. At that time, Poste sent letters to the newspaper Chronicle of San Francisco, or detailed his homicides as well as puzzles and codes for investigators, while signing a cross on a circle to reinforce his nickname.

The puzzles and codes he left in his notes were difficult for authorities to find his whereabouts, and, despite only having five deaths officially attributed to him, the infamous murderer confessed in one of his notes that killed 37 people in all.

In fact, in a letter coded by high school teacher Donald Harden and his wife, Battye, the “Zodiac Killer” admitted that he “liked” killing people because it was “so much fun”: “It’s more fun than killing wild animals in the forest because man is the most dangerous animal of all ”.

“Killing something is the most exciting experience. It’s even better than sleeping with a girl. The best thing about all of this is that when I die I will be reborn in Heaven and everyone I have killed will be my slaves, ”the murderer wrote.

However, in 1974, the letters ceased and it was only now that it was possible to identify the murderer, who at the time of his crimes was between 40 and 50 years old.
