Zodiac

A key serial killer i decided to look at was the Zodiac Killer of the 1960's, the same period set for the Movie Zabriskie Point and also in California like the movie. He Officially claimed 5 victims in total, though takes responsibility for many more. A key thing about the killer is that he has never been identified and the case is still open today. He is infamous for his letters he sent to the press about his killings, motives & victims. With these taunting letters he also included various ciphers some of which are still to be solved.



He killed most of his victims via shooting though some were stabbed to death. He himself appointed his name "ZODIAC". His victims were most often young couples. This is an artist representation (Robert Graysmith) of one of the victims boyfriends who survived a encounter with the killer.
