At 20:20 you say 1978 but the graphics say 1968, does that mean you are the real Zodiac?

Not gonna lie but the narrator seems to be a person which you wanna be friends with...
I’ve seen a lot of videos and read a few books on the zodiac killer, I’m convinced him not being caught comes down to bad police work due to uncooperative detective across multiple departments.
Who's your favorite suspect my money's on Arthur leigh Allen
Yep, turns out he was smarter than the police!
I remember reading that at one point the police found him but the dispatcher gave the wrong description so they let him go. They later realized he was the man in the sketch.

@@morganbanefort181 The biggest problem with the case against Leigh Allen is that the palm print lifted from one of the letters did not match Allen's, and when DNA testing became a thing decades later, the saliva in the envelope did not match Allen.

My Mom was a teenager at the time living in the bay area (where my family and I still live) and she said she was absolutely terrified. It was like this guy was the Bogeyman in the shadows and nobody knew when and where the guy might strike next. Given the range of his killings nowhere in the bay area felt safe. I always hold out hope that the Zodiac left the infamous outfit he was described for wearing somewhere in some attic in the bay area to be discovered, finally solving the case. He seemed just crazy enough to do something like that.
God that’s terrible
He was an incel would be my guess
Well, whoever the Zodiac was, he'd have to be in his 80's or so, if he's still alive. I'd say it's a fair bet that we'll never really know the Zodiac's true identity.
He just slipped through. If he had raped victims like so many other killers we would nab him on DNA evidence but it seems that was never his motive.

@@AngelAndros7 Perhaps...
Paul Simmons the best we can do when it comes to unidentified Killers that will likely never be caught is look at the who we think is the most likely suspect and stick with that. And after looking through the suspects I’m going with the biggest one of all, Arthur Leigh Allen

update: the 340 has been solved
Points to the other two cyphers being real and not gibberish.

"Lady Valdivia" the next candidate for Mayor of Mirrorage, running against Lady Hexe Metzger. Now, Hexe has a doctorate in Chemical Engineering and many other fields, but she's far from charming. She doesn't play fairly, amd has hands in dirty, illicit underground government activities. It goes without saying, or should be obvious that she's quite wicked and evil. However, Lady Valdivia is a people person, plays fairly, loves equality and the working class citizens of Mirrorage. She's also been into social work since her early school days at Lunar Academy High, where the protagonist Katya, currently attends.
Mrs. Valdivia (yes, she'll be married to a gloriously handsome man) won't be able to stand a chance against Mrs. Metzger and her crooked ways...that is...until Katya and her bestie, Auri, get help from their school connections to get dirt on Hexe and ruin her plans of taking more power in Mirrorage.
Only then, will Lady Valdivia get her chance to help Mirrorage get back to its roots as a thriving city of proper, green industrial business and strong economy.
Anyway... at least there's writing and drawing in these dark times. I'm bored. Um. Take care guys! Anyone! Everyone!
The most likely explanation why the Zodiac was never caught is that he was killed in a very mundane way (car accident, for example) or he was jailed for something else, and died in prison. I think that his ego, his craving for attention as you mentioned, would have gotten the best of him had he been jailed for the rest of his life, he would have confessed. That is why I more likely think he was in a car accident, or slipped and fell off the roof, or some other boring ass way. Not of old age, that is certain.
That's what they said about the golden state killer. And his ass was finally caught.
@@LovelyLonely90 but with the zodica dna is useless now. All the tests they did no reliable dna now
"that is certain" - since there is no proof for anything you just mentioned, then no, it's not certain. Jack the Ripper also fell from the roof? What about The Cleveland Torso Murderer? Slipped on the wet towel in own bathroom? And Freeway Phantom? Choked on food and died? What about Bible Belt Strangler? Mistaken for a young woman at The Highway of Tears? You know what I am saying?
He really was, though. That's a good guess. rip jacob the zodiac killer.
Ditto. He was all ego, crap execution. Well mostly. Didn't kill half the people he shot. Probably blew his own head off one day by accident while cleaning his gun as he absently thought about who'd play him in the movie version.

I grew up in Vallejo (and still live here) and I used to drive by Lake Herman road (1st two killings) and played golf at Blue Rock Springs (2nd killings), never realizing that there were murders committed there until I watched this video and subsequently did some research. It’s sad to find out the history of the place you grew up and the atrocities committed there....
late reply but i kind of understand. in my city there was a serial killer that grew up in my suburb. its a very small suburb. he killed people elsewhere in the city, but its so creepy to know he could have even grew up in a house ive driven past before
“Not many people have basements in California.”
*light switches on*
“I do...”
Not many do in places like florida or Louisiana cause of the super wetness
Just because YOU have a basement, doesn't mean it isn't still quite rare for anyone in California to have a basement. I only know of about six houses in my hometown that have basements. I live in the vast Great Central Valley of California. We live on top of a huge underground aquifer, and we have a VERY high water table here. Most people who have in-ground pools here have to have them built into man-made hills to keep the water table from pushing them out of the ground. Seriously. And that is why so few California homes have basements. Nobody likes a basement full of water!
@@calichef1962 he's quoting a line from the film Zodiac
VladTheImpala you don’t focking understand man. People in California don’t often have basements just like in Florida or Louisiana. Just because you have one doesn’t mean most people don’t. I know 8 or 9 people in California and 2 or 3 of them have basements but that’s because the others live in a trailer park.

Simons “Zodiac” Voice is Killing Me 😆😆😆
In all the Zodiac coverage, I've never heard that he had an English accent! That could be the key to solving this whole thing!! Haha
😂
Y’all laughing, while The voice legit scared me. 😢
@@lilflash3686 lol why? It was hilarious
Here’s my analysis:
He had a disdain for women. This is because he always made sure the women were dead but not the men as they typically seemed to survive.
He came from the country and did not care for the city. Calling Toschi a “city pig”.
Had prior military experience, or a hunter (would fit the country description), or even a cop. He had an idea of how to use a gun.
He was sloppy? but certainly gained confidence and wore a mask later as if he knew or somehow found out that he was leaving his male victims alive.
The fact that he was into cryptography and writing (from his letters), suggests he possibly served and had wartime experience in some capacity.
Additionally the Luger was used in world war 1 and 2 and easily accessible. This suggests he was maybe in his late 30s at the time of the killings.
He wanted fame and notoriety. Something he did not get when he served perhaps. He was obsessed with control and power.
I don't think he had anything for women, he never specified in his letter about his hatred for women, which he would have had since how the letters were clearly his favorite way of communicating with the public. I think what would have happened was he either intentionally left men alive to tell tales or was in hurry hence had to leave the men alive, since they have usually more endurance than women. Other than that i agree with him being in military, he knew how to make a bomb and even said so in a letter in today's world you could search it up on google but i imagine in those days not everyone was knowledgeable enough to know how to make a bomb
"He came from the country and did not care for the city. Calling Toschi a “city pig”." In the San Francisco Bay area, people don't refer to San Francisco as "San Francisco," even by those who live in San Francisco. Instead, they say, "The City." The city of South San Francisco is referred to as "South City."
Update: 340 Is solved now, but they are still not able to find his identity ‼️
I just watched the video reporting on it and then came to this one but the case is really interesting.
They don't know his true identity but they think he was Arthur Leigh Allen he was one of the main suspect for years.
Because it’s not really solved. 🤯
@@timhornswaggle1243 Because the main guy died like 15 years before they even put the pieces together.

Something I speculate about occasionally is whether some of the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders were carried out by the Zodiac killer. For those unfamiliar, a string of girls were killed while hitchhiking in and around Santa Rosa in 1972 and 1973. The time and vicinity are correct. One of the Zodiac letters claimed that he would no longer announce his victims and instead make them look like routine homicides, meaning a likely shift in MO, and the attempted abduction of Kathleen Johns by a man matching the physical description of the Zodiac killer may indicate he started preying on people along the highways. It might also (at least partially) explain the inflated body count in later letters.
One of the victims, Kim Wendy Allen, was last seen alive carrying a large wooden soy barrel with Chinese characters on them, which apparently resembles the weird glyphs seen on the letter at 15:50.
That detail, the girl carrying around a wooden barrel, always sticks in my mind. I mean, such a typical girl thing to do, right? Carry around a barrel.
Arthur Leigh Allen was also a suspect in that
I remember around the time of the 2016 election, there was a prevalent internet joke that candidate Ted Cruz was the Zodiac.
@annag cocl Ted Cruz
I hope you'll do a video on the Black Dahlia
@Emily Komornik There is also a TON of evidence disproving that theory (Check out the book "the black dahlia files" for more.

@@RoboNarples-et6ky his own son was a cop who went to clear his name posthumously. After years of investigating he 100% believes he was the murderer.

@Emily Komornik It was Ed Burns, Short's simp. I visit her grave occasionally. Poor girl.
I've often wondered if D.B. Cooper and the Zodiac Killer might've been the same person -- likely not, but their composite sketches do somewhat resemble each other.
I was just gonna say that!!
That thought never occurred to me, but damn, you're right. The sketches do bear a striking resemblance to each other.
When I first saw the thumbnail, I noticed the picture first and thought the episode was about D.B.
It funny but obviously not true. Generic picture of a white dude.
A lot of the time the witness more remembers the face of one of the last people they saw, as opposed to the perpetrator. Hence, they often describe someone from the police.
The zodiac killer must have been pretty proud of himself, from his point of view it was more of a game than a crime and it took nearly 50 years and hundreds of different people to even get close to finding him
He even got the movie he wanted.
Don't think the souls thing panned out though
Zodiac: “I’ll get the schools closed!”
COVID: “Hold my virus...”
The zodiac killer is the one case that really creeps me out, not just that he was never caught, but because this dude was so crazy, but smart. My personal opinion is that there was never just one guy. I’m sure there were killings done by people inspired by him and possible two or more people that either helped him or knew who he was and kept it a secret. The bad part is like Jack the Ripper, we may never know for sure...
Just here for kicks what about this crime makes you think this idiot was smart?
I don't think he was smart at all. Just lucky.

After hearing the phone recordings, it seems pretty obvious to me that the killer is Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Yeah, the guns he used were definitely not the kinds of weapons you would wanna use against anything bigger then a squirrel.
Very difficult to kill someone twice. Generally depends on a resurrection.
@@rickh3714 overkilling is unnecessary,unless he was talking about talking more than one person.
@@maximilianolimamoreira5002

I agree. I think he was lucky and not a genius. The Z304 is mumbo jumbo.
Whos here after they just solved the 340 letter?
This one gave me the chills. Grew up in Vallejo and spent many hours driving Lake Herman Rd. So trippy
My Mother actually worked at the San Francisco Chronicle in Advertising before she moved to New Zealand in 1969. She told me that the fear of the Zodiac Killer paralysed many San Franciscans in the same way the Night Stalker terrorized California in the 1990s. Thank you Simon! Well presented!
Yes the 340 cypher has been solved just a few days ago. "I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING LOTS OF FUN IN TRYING TO CATCH ME."
"THAT WASNT ME ON THE TV SHOW WHICH BRINGS UP A POINT ABOUT ME I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE GAS CHAMBER BECAUSE IT WILL SEND ME TO PARADICE [sic] ALL THE SOONER BECAUSE I NOW HAVE ENOUGH SLAVES TO WORK FOR ME WHERE EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTHING WHEN THEY REACH PARADICE SO THEY ARE AFRAID OF DEATH."
"I AM NOT AFRAID BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MY NEW LIFE IS LIFE WILL BE AN EASY ONE IN PARADICE DEATH."

The killer thought the Exorcist was a comedy. Was Beetlejuice ever questioned?
He said that to add to his "look what a psycho I am" act.
The exorcist probably was one of the few things he saw that freaked him out.
Hence calling a movie that was clearly not comedic in nature, a comedy.
Serves two purposes: let's him convince himself it didn't rattle him.
And
Makes anyone reading the statement think "only a psycho would watch THAT movie and call it a comedy" increasing fear of him, which he clearly got all sweaty for.
I mean the exorcist?

So many Zodiac videos out there I am glad you still made one. I learned something new about the case!
Z340 confirming that the TV zodiac wasn’t him.
They already knew that. It was a call traced from a mental institution. Just FYI
The way he transitions from the video to the sponsor's ad always makes me chuckle.
What annoys me in cases such as these is that alot of the time the cops believe the murderer is someone who has done crime before
But think about it the neighbors always say "he was quiet kept to himself a nice guy"
On average murderers to often have a background of doing some crime of sort. It is actually rare murder ever happens by someone with a clean record but it does happen.
dendrien TheStrange i mean what about serial killers not just ordinary murderers who probably have a reason to kill the person, and won’t do it again.
the amount of people with a criminal past or that grew up surrounded by crime committing murder severely outweighs people like the Las Vegas strip shooter from 2017 who had no criminal past whatsoever and no one saw coming. But I get what you are saying
Also with zodiacs newspaper letters
How come they only think it's either lies or truth
Forgetting if the guy is or was as smart as he thinks he was or is
Then it wouldn't be inconceivable that the man could've told "half truthes, half lies, truth and lies"
In all newspaper publications
To send police on wild goose chases for his own amusement
Rhys Jones as mentioned, the police primarily works with the average Joe. But within a society there’s always expectations. Some are by birth just deranged and a smaller percentage of these are under the radar. Like the Las Vegas shooter.
I've watched and read so much about the Zodiac Killer that at this point I think he just died without anybody knowing died in a car accident , or some other surprise death and nobody ever thought about the named person he was since. Just the maniac he was on the side.
I watched a documentary on this a while back were they actually interviewed the 911 operator who got that first call, she said his voice was normal, very monotone the whole time and the “goodbye” at the end was a monotone “goooodbye” (sorta drawn out in one breath). Like in the Zodiac movie.
I'm so happy you uploaded this! I watched the Zodiac movie just the other day and couldn't stop thinking about it
I've watched that movie about six times. I also watched it a few weeks ago - the Covid-19 outbreak means I have caught up on a number of movies.
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful thing, Simon True Crime. I could listen to you tell spooky true stories for days. I really enjoy true crime (before it was cool) & I love Simon so put them together I’m in heaven!

"Short, at 5'9" 😭
The real mystery is how Simon can make so many videos so frequently!
Definitely not a complaint.

Vern Jensen, Betty Lou's father, worked for my dad. Her death had a devastating effect on him. My heart went out to him but what can you really say?
Very interesting. I had no idea about the story behind the Zodiac Killer.
I appreciate the way you carefully word your thoughts especially with so many unknowns.
I love how factual your videos are. Youve definitely done your homework!
At the beginning, Simon mentions the first victims were on the way to a concert. I wonder who they were going to go see, 1968 San Francisco had a great rock scene lol.
Accents and serial killer legends are my two biggest guilty pleasures, so this channel is basically a dream come true. Thank you Simon ❤️
Why do I just keep randomly encountering this man across CZcams, I'll click on a video from a channel I've never seen before and it's the same guy
That's because he's never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...
I used to wonder about that also, and ask how he could possibly do all that research, create and upload so many videos, given that there are only 24 hours in a day. My grandmother who knows everything told me that he has created at least 20 clones of himself. What a genius!
Just going by his admissions, I wouldn't be surprised if the results of the "killings" really didn't matter much to him. What mattered was the act of killing itself. He probably didn't give a toss if a victim didn't bleed to death and could be saved, because by that point, he'd already lived out his power fantasy of taking a life, feeling like a killer, pulling the trigger or digging that knife in.
A clean kill wasn't in his interest. He didn't bother disposing of the bodies, and instead phoned them in himself. If anything, a near-death survivor would stoke his legend in the media much better than a cold body would have. Leaving the surviving victims with an ever-present fear of him, of a potential second strike, probably gave him a rise, too.
The Zodiac would totally have gotten that premium Dashlane subscription.
Oh damn a Ted Cruz bio? Cool
Hey no proof. That can be any guy with that description.
Arthur Leigh Allen
Definitely weird to see a Ted Cruz bio
Classic
i was just about to comment this.
The logo used by Zodiac was a Coptic cross. A simplified version to represent a zodiac astrology chart. It was the centrepiece to the chart indicating the horizon with the horizontal lines and reaching to the MC (meridian Celestine/mid heavens) on the vertical. This is the basis of the logo as the cross hair design is a commonly recognised shorthand to reference such a chart. Hope this helps explain its significance.
I remember being scared as a kid about the Zodiac killer. As an adult it terrifies me that he was never caught. Unreal ...

Don’t be so fascinated by the ability of Simon to segue from one aspect of his program to another seamlessly. It’s called editing. Don’t get me wrong. He puts on a good show. But the magic of prerecorded videos allows for a multitude of possibilities.
People: slash
Simon, an intellectual: forward
I love watching these serious videos then go over to watch Simon on Business Blaze and get blown away by the juxtaposition. Wow!
Simon's Zodiac voice sounds like "Buffalo Bill's" in "Silence of the Lambs".
"Oh, waaaait. Was she a great big fat person?"
"Put the lotion in the basket!"
🤣
This is brilliant! Is a true crime channel next?
Please cover more true crime topics; any case you cover will increase exposure for it, meaning the chance for a witness or evidence goes up! I’d love to see one done on Aisha Degree, a child that disappeared from NC in the United States. Her case still remains unsolved and any exposure to her case would help.

@james mack my union is in Ontario I took a red seal course for laborer and that's how I got in
Being from Vallejo where he is rumored to be fun its always interesting to see all this insight on him
Not "Viejo", it was "Vallejo"...(I lived in the SF Bay Area then...)
Hey Simon, could you please do a video showing us what your daily schedule looks like? And how you manage to narrate all these CZcams channels? I don't think I've ever seen a CZcams presenter with such an insane work ethic.
Love The Chernobyl Series
Simon’s CZcams’s biggest killer because he’s killing it.
£specially with Joe Rogan moving to spotify.
@@polreamonn that really sucks honestly. dumbest thing in the world for me :(
@@fakechloe207 how? Nothing about the podcast is changing
felt it was a good time to come back to this
I was in elementary school in Fresno at the time, 175 miles from Vallejo. I remember my mom being worried for us. School buses were escorted by police for a while. It was big news throughout the State.
Here's the thing about the murder of the Taxi Driver. Even though the San Francisco Police had a description of the Zodiac (white male, 35 to 45, with a buzz cut, and glasses) two parol officers on foot patrol stopped the Zodiac as he was leaving the scene BUT LET HIM GO because they saw a Black Man on the sidewalk and they arrested him for the killing of the Taxi Driver. In one of the letters to the News Paper from the Zodiac, he called the San Francisco Police incompetent fools for arresting a man just because he was Black.
I heard about this as well somewhere, but I didn't know the police already had description of the killer at that time. Quite sad.
@@mohdharis3916 Yes, two of his early victims survived and gave detailed descriptions of the Zodiac Killer.
Some children saw it and called it in. Nobody was arrested "because they were black".
@@calebwinfield1403 That is a lovely fairytale, but that did not happen.
🤦🏽♀️
Been waiting for this one for an age!
"Short, 5'8 or 5'9"
So above average height...
Also that prime suspect guy looks nothing like the sketches or is that just me?
1xoACEox1 Zodiac said that how he looked in that sketch was just a disguise
Prime suspect was cleared through DNA analysis and palm prints. He probably wasn't the killer.
@@Daniel-ns71617 well his friend said that he had a habit of making other people lick the stamps so theres still a possible
@@helo9316 True, but whoever wrote the letters wasn't Leigh Allen, because the palm prints on the letter didn't match.
@@Daniel-ns71617 hmm but isn't it possible that the prints were made by someone else who was handling the letters like maybe the postman? Also i think the evidence that completely and actually rules out allen is the bloody fingerprint on the taxi, that couldn't have belonged to anyone else other than the killer considering its bloody and witness accounts. Allen is nothing like the sketches or description
man imagine being at a retirement home and just hearing the guy next to you way "and they still never caught me"
I think Simon is the killer and the last jibberish part that didn´t get coded was an ad for Dashlane.
You're a genius
The 408 gibberish I have solved. It's a spiral code algorithm that spells
"Meet the hip riot. Eibe". Eibe is German for Yew - which in turn Caesar shifts to...
The emphasis on trees and wood lies throughout these Z cases. Pines Card etc. Ted K also emphasized this aspect and may have been a Z associate. My POI went to Berkeley as did TK. Which is also where TKs IEDs sometimes were set. Many made out of wood. Even one victim was chosen for their surname- Wood.
Dying for attention, craving for front page press, always making sure to take all of the credits. The similarities 😂
Simon, your homeboys gunshots had me looking around.... Don't do that!!!! :D
Man, I really miss tuning in weekly to see masako's episode reviews. I still watch him, but man, that was one of my favorite things about his channel. I'm staying for the what-ifs tho lol
Every lovers lane has a ghost story. They make movies and documentaries about Vallejo
He's been only attacking couples. It could mean, that he had a crush but go rejected. It hurted him so bad that, he developed hatred for couples. The first single kill could've been related, to his beloved woman who chose first "single" victim over zodiac. His mistakes in the letter meant that he probably didn't finish highschool. And him targeting kids, feels alot like he was in his early 20ties. Why? Because after procesing the traumatic highschool which he didn't finish. He decided to prove to everyone that he was worthy. So far I got his education/age/reason. Was there anything about relation between single kilings?
He felt godlike, so he was never behind bars or punished.
The couple kilings were because of his ideology, but single ones were personal. He stopped kiling because kiling his crush satisfied his lust for revenge. The letters were to prove something. Perhaps that he was good at it? Despite not having diploma? I'm thinking, that starting investigation with highschools, would've been better. Especially to ask women, that have rejected weirdos, if they remember.
wow, impressive. I like this one
Ross Sullivan worked at the same community college as Cheri Jo Bates, whos murder the zodiac later took credit for, and not to mention that Ross looks almost like an exact replica of the infamous police sketch. He died in 1977, which is also around the time the zodiac stopped sending letters
Really enjoying your content, which I just discovered. Plus, you're not hard to look at. 😊
I can't help but to think about this scenario, if I'm a phone operator and a murderer is tryina tell me his work over the phone but the cops already know about it from a bystander call, I would love to just pretend the line keeps cutting like "hello? hello? is anyone there? speak up I can't hear you" just to waste their time in hopes they get caught
"Short, around 5' 8" or 5' 9" "
*28 year old male sits here at 5' 5" * : |
Please make a biography about Freddie Mercury!!
13:23 - ah, the Zodiac strikes just above Simon's head.
