The Zodiac Killer
The Zodiac Killer is one of America's most infamous serial killers who still hasn’t been caught, or even identified. He murdered at least five people during the 1960s in San Fransisco.
He targeted mainly couples in secluded areas, and his first victims were a young teenage couple who had ditched school to go sunbathing. He attacked two more couples following this, but two males in the couples that he attacked, survived. He is thought to have killed Cheri Jo Bates, but this has not been confirmed.
Zodiac Killer is the pseudonym given to him after he sent a series of letters to the San Francisco Chronicle. In one of his letters, he wrote “I like killing people because it’s so much fun.” He is suspected of killing up to 37 victims throughout the 1960s and 1970s but is not confirmed, while the killer's identity remains a mystery.
Many suspects have come forward, but no one until this day has been confirmed as the Zodiac Killer.
The Riverside Police Department believes that the killer of Cheri Jo Bates was not the Zodiac Killer. However, recent reports from the Vallejo Police Department have identified Gary Francis Poste as the Zodiac Killer. He passed away in 2018, will we ever know the truth?
