examine real letter from zodiac killer



EXAMINE A REAL LETTER FROM THE ZODIAC KILLER

The Zodiac Killer case is one of America's great murder mysteries. He

terrorized San Francisco between 1968 and 1969, killing at least five

people, and continued to taunt the authorities with letters for years

to come. His letters contained cryptograms, and three of them remain

unsolved to this day.

The letter above is a scan, direct from the San Francisco police

evidence files, of the June 26, 1970 letter that Zodiac sent to the

San Francisco Chronicle. The cryptogram at the bottom has never been

decoded. Cick the image to embiggen it.

On March 2nd Zodiac, David Fincher's long-awaited movie about the case

and the effect it had on the people obsessed with solving it, will

finally be released. As part of the campaign to promote the film,

Paramount has supplied us with the above scan and have launched a

definitive timeline of the Zodiac case on the movie's website, which

you can see by clicking here.
