So two new pieces of evidence are offered up by this article, firstly that Zodiac was identified by several witnesses as having a forehead scar, including being drawn on the famous sketch of him, which matches a scar Poste had at the time. Secondly, some sort of new solution to the cipher is possible by omitting Poste's full name in some way.
As exciting as it would be, I always take these claims about famous cases being solved with a grain of salt. It seems they were also denied DNA evidence from another California case, and bringing up excitement about Zodiac might let them press the issue further. The scar I don't think is definitive proof by any means, but if there is some new explanation to one of the ciphers, I would be very interested in seeing it.

- polynomial 5y agoApparently there was also a paint-splattered watch recovered at the Bates killing scene (tied to ZK in 1975 by FBI) and he spent decades as a house painter. There was also a recovered boot print from that scene that apparently was a match to him. I guess we'll all have to wait for all the true crime podcasts to spill the rest of the beans.

- asveikau 5y agoWow. That guy in the glasses looks just like the police sketch.
- koboll 5y agoThe guy REALLY looks like the police sketches too. Almost perfectly the same, except for maybe a slight difference in nose width.
- partiallypro 5y agoThe police sketch is from a 2 children that watched from across the street at night. I have never believed the sketch is accurate. The sketch also shows a skinnier person but everyone described him as a bit overweight.
- gremloni 5y agoDoes anyone else have issues with identifying and describing facial features. I have no problems recognizing people, but there’s no way I can verbalize them on a specific features basis. What kind of disorder do I have?
- davidholdeman 5y agoI don't know whether your experience is similar to mine, but I can't visualize faces at all, even of someone I have just been looking at. I have no issues recognizing people or visualizing things other than faces, so neither aphantasia nor prosopagnosia match.
- partiallypro 5y agoNo one ever said he had forehead scars though, if he did...he'd be much easier to identify.
