The Zodiac Killer, one of America’s most infamous serial killers, continues to elude identification even decades after his reign of terror in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Despite the chilling details of at least five confirmed murders, the true identity of the killer remains a mystery.
In 2020, a breakthrough occurred when citizen cryptographers cracked the notorious 340-character cipher that had baffled investigators for over 50 years.
