By far the most interesting takeaway from the full FOX news article is that it seems possible that the Zodiac Killer was actually a group of people:
> Hans Smits told Fox News he spent 10 years hiding a whistleblower who said he escaped a criminal "posse" headed by Poste [now identified as the Zodiac]. The man, who The Case Breakers only referred to as Wil, told Smits the posse roamed California's High Sierra region and that he was "groomed into a killing machine."
> In addition, Wil said he witnessed Poste burying murder weapons in the woods, Smits said.
> "They put out several bear caches out there in case something happened," Smits said.
> Smits said he gave Wil financial, logistical and emotional support over the years and moved him around for nearly 10 years in an effort to keep him safe.
> Despite being dead for three years, some people are mysteriously still loyal to him, said Michelle, who also declined to provide her last name.
> "He targeted young men who didn't have a father figure," she said. "It was a posse of three but the one [Poste] did a lot of damage. He still has some kind of control… and he's gone."

- microtherion 5y agoThis part of the article actually made me more skeptical about the rest of the claims. The rest sounds like fairly convincing forensics, but then it veers off into rather outlandish conspiracy territory. And if you look at the earlier article on the "Case Breakers" site, the whole thing appears to have started in conspiracy territory: https://thecasebreakers.org/2021/09/the-last-zodiac-victim/ https://thecasebreakers.org/2021/09/the-last-zodiac-victim/ That's not to say that no such weapons cache exists. I imagine there must be plenty of outlaw-ish people in rural regions with sizable above- and underground collections of firearms. But often their boasts of paramilitary acumen tend to be rather overstated, so claims of a serial killer grooming posthumously loyal killing machines would require rather extraordinary proof.
