Report

An unidentified killer active in Northern California in the late 1960s. Five deaths are confirmed; two people survived his attacks. He sent letters and ciphers to newspapers, demanding they be published. One of them, the Z340 cipher, was only decoded in 2020 by a team of amateur codebreakers. Despite decades of investigation, the Zodiac's identity remains unknown.
