Many people live with fond memories and illusions about the "wonderful era of the 1960's". It was the time of rock n roll legends, of peace marches and more. Yet the 1960's had more of their share of terror and evil inclinations. The San Fransisco Bay Area "Zodiac Killer" was one such black mark. This incarnation of evil and publicity seeker lives onwards even to this day. It is not only a matter of downright fascination with this character . Its not only a matter that he never was caught. Media images and copycats exist even to day. Think of the Son of Sam, the Manson family and the Dirty Harry movies of Clint Eastwood. Whom do you these characters of portrayed or actual murders mirror a pattern of ?
During the time periods of late 1968 and November of the following year that Zodiac was the news, if not , the terror of most people living in the in the San Francisco Bay areas. The legacy of the Zodiac lives on today as unfortunately the model if not hero, of many individuals, whom you might well call crazy or psychopaths The Zodiac lived on in popular culture , to this day , influencing potential evil people , to have their "15 minutes of fame". And yet for all the hoopla and attention the "Zodiac" was not in the same notoriety as Charles Manson .
Working his killing through different areas, he became known only as the zodiac killer after he included taunting letters to the press. The letters started in 1969 when the zodiac killer placed three almost identical letters out to three area papers.
The exact number of people loved by friends and family who perished at the hand of the Zodiac will never be known or tallied. On top of that there may have been a number of copycats both in the San Fransisco areas and nationwide throughout the US. The Zodiackiller would continue these letters and taunting for many years. Though only seven victims were conclusively connected to the zodiac, it's no doubt that he may have easily had a hand in the rest of the slayings.
The main suspect in the case was one Arthur Leigh Allen, but no case was ever made against him. In fact it was in 2002 that DNA evidence was processed, but no links could be made to Allen in any of those tests.
It may have been just plain luck or happenstance that Mr. Arthur Leigh Allen could never be properly charged in the legal system , taken off the streets , and tried in a true criminal court. The amazing thing is that if these events occurred today , a good trial lawyer could make a very strong case , that his client could never get a "fair " trial anywhere in the United States or indeed anywhere in the world. It was as if the roulette tables were fixed both against the capture of this villain and even his treatment in the legal system and court of law.
He died in 1992 of Kidney failure, but one thing that is quite odd is the fact that Robert Graysmith, who wrote the zodiac killer book. He said that he was receiving calls where someone would hang up after he answered. Upon the death of Allen those calls ended abruptly.
Finally all the all , no matter for the poor victims or the fame of serial killer , the San Fransisco Bay Area Police Dept. , finally closed the case in the year of 2004. Perhaps the real Zodiac Killer will be so incited and incensed at his apparent loss of celebrity fame , that he will finally tip his hand carelessly . The identity of the Zodiac and his incarceration may yet avail
