Zodiac Killer

The Zodiac Killer is the pseudonym of an unidentified serial killer who murdered at least five people and injured two others in Northern California between December 1968 and October 1969. The killer taunted police and newspapers with cryptic letters and ciphers, claimed responsibility for as many as 37 murders, and was never identified or apprehended. The case remains one of the most infamous unsolved serial murder investigations in American history.
