The origin of the zodiac killer's name

Zodiac-killer-Zodiac killer, also known as Zodiac killer, the zodiac is the meaning of the twelve constellations in the Bible.

From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, there were more than 20 serial killings of "Zodiac Killers" in San Francisco, and at least 30 people were killed. More than 1 month after the second case, three local newspapers in San Francisco received mysterious letters, and the senders claimed responsibility for these cases. A letter wrote: "Dear editor, I murdered two young lovers on Herman Lake Road last Christmas and a girl in Vallejo on the 4th of last month. I am the murderer. In order to prove the truth, I will describe some details that only the murderer and the police may know. "

It is reported that every time the sender tells something that only the murderer and the police know. For example, what kind of pistol was used by the murderer and how many bullets were fired. On this basis, the police believe that the sender is most likely the real murderer who made the above two cases. In these letters, the killers all started with the sentence "I am the zodiac killer" and left a mysterious sign that appeared at the murder scene. In addition, each letter has an asterisk and a password consisting of letters and symbols. The murderer claimed that after these passwords were cracked, his true identity would be exposed.

The San Francisco police invited military cryptographers to help crack the code, and gave up the usual methods of solving crimes, and turned a large part of their energy to astrology, spirituality and other fields unrelated to solving crimes.
