      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....

    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.

    Secondly, his multiple different ways of killings could be the different styles of killing across different people.

    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.

    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

    They should have set him up by making couples go to hidden areas and hope he shows up

    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.

    Why don't the police just look for a guy with a hood wearing sunglasses and having a weird symbol on his chest???? This is why I carry.

      I mean, if that's what he's wearing on a daily basis, he'd stood out like a sore thumb.
