The Zodiac Killer

The actual serial killer, not the films. A modern day Jack the Ripper mystery?

Been reading about this over the past few days while laid up ill.

Several suspect theories abound but a former LAPD detective, Steve Hodel, thinks that his father, George Hodel, was responsible for not only the murder of Elizabeth Short/Black Dahlia (all but confirmed by police), but also the Zodiac murders and even possibly the Lipstick murders.

His father also pretty much signed his name in letters to the police in a 4th century Celtic language. Having read up on all this, I find it a plausible theory. The killings all occured when he was in the same country/area, and very similar killings also occurred in areas he visited abroad at times he was there.
It was a great movie with Donavans Hardy gerdy man sound track is the film far off the true story?
 

Just finished the Wire in the Blood DVD set based on Val McDiarmid's superb books....Robson Green is magnificent as the psychologist who has an insight into serial killers.....reccomended both books and DVDs
 

Quite a few things point to Arthur Leigh Allen
I don't believe it was him. By the way it's crazy how many people could fit Zodiac profile on a relatively small area - it shows that anybody anytime could be a suspect in some case going around. Scary.

Either way, back to ALA:

His fingerprints, DNA (although we really don't know it's Zodiac's DNA that police have) and handwriting did not match.
He wasn't a particularly good match for the sketch and Kathleen Jones (who was abducted by the Zodiac and spent around 90 minutes with him in a car) never identified him from a 16 photograph line up.
He was left-handed and we know the Lake Berryessa attack and the murder of Paul Stine were all carried out by an attacker using his right hand.
He was a known sexual offender and I don't believe someone like that would restrain his lust when killing people. Zodiac's victims were never sexualy abused.
 
Damn it, thought this would be a thread about the good old ford zodiac with the trusty Wessex v6 engine, much loved by the rozzers in z cars.

Tv. Meh.
Here’s a couple of the sites I’ve looked at;

As for Hodel, there is actually a sketch of an older man;
