In Reply to: The Zodiac (2005) Not bad posted by Duilawyer on February 16, 2007 at 21:23:50:
many books have been penned claiming by their get-rich-quick-wishing authors that they've solved it... not.
The case is still open, according to the SFPD. Yes, there have been four or five very good suspects but none conclusively have been proven guilty.
Years ago, I was driving around the area north of SF when I found a strange looking, very long lake with eerie blue water. I pulled into a parking lot to walk around a park on the water but, after walking for five minutes or so, I felt creeped out.
Much later, in reading a book about the Zodiac, I found out that the killer had ambushed a couple at that very lake, killing one and seriously wounding the other.
This serial killer is unusual in that he didn't target females alone, and when he did, he didn't sexually molest them. He also used several different methods of killing.
He is one of the few that taunted police over a long period of time and escaped.
As we all know, BTK, who also had a fondness for belaboring police, was discovered after the idiot sent them an email, resulting in the police tracing it to the computer of the church at which he was deacon.
Zodiac was no such dullard.
One chilling fact: a young woman was grabbed outside of a library overlooking a bluff and pulled to a lonely spot behind the building and killed.
Much later, during an equipment inventory, a library worker discovered someone had carved into a desk a note stating that the writer was watching a woman as he carved and that when she left the building, he was going to follow and kill her.
Now that's creepy...
A major studio is scheduled to release a new Zodiac film anyday now.
