I imagine the Zodiac Killer was actually more than one person.
Of course, this was back in the time when creating attractive codewords for dangerous criminals was the norm.
Who's to say that the coded messages sent to newspapers weren't actually meant for other people involved in the activity?
- codezero 5y agoIn the fox story, they note that he ran a criminal gang of about 3 people, and recruited young men looking for a father figure, so you might be right. They paint it as him being the primary one doing the bad things with the others as just lookouts/help w/ hiding evidence.
- HPsquared 5y agoI'm reminded of that scene in Hot Fuzz - "No luck catching them killers then?" .. "It's just the one killer actually!"
- speedybird 5y agoThe coded messages were handwritten. To my eye, they have the same handwriting. Occam's Razor is just a rule of thumb, but I think it applies here.
