It was him. He got rid of all the smoking guns (he never licked the letters or touched things with his bare fingers) but the rest of it, ESPECIALLY how no letters were sent when he was in prision, show he was Zodiac.

Sorry OP, everyone on the force had just watched 12 Angry Men, and knew that anyone can own the same watch and boots. A jury would just bring them to the deliberations. Stick the evidence OP. HANDWRITING! and a print that could be from ANYONE.

You seem to be trying too hard to paint this guy as the killer. Maybe you are the real zodiac.

Zodiac came out almost 20 years ago and it was the last good movie Fincher made. Grim.
>>
>>220569177
Allen was just a fat slobby child molester, he doesn't fit the obsessive psychological profile of Zodiac
>>
>>220569306
Not in California. If Mike Mageau had marks on his nose from glasses, the jury would disregard his testimony. Then the defense would call the handwriting expert to the stand to tell the retards in the jury box that the K's didn't match. Then someone would have to testify about no prints matching, then the attorney would accuse the police of trying to frame his client because of his record, and being a criminal. Lee was a good boy and turning his life around. The whole movie is an exercise is how stupid police work was back in that time and needed an update to using actual evidence and not hokey shit like handwriting and fortune tellers.

There was saliva with DNA, just not his DNA. Also, did this low iq retard predicted that in 40 years police will be able to identify him from DNA and let someone else lick his letters? That's a stretch.

You have to realize, we're going off on the word of Robert Greysmith. Zodiac is based on his take of information that the police were willing to give him, and he was more than happy to form his own opinions and push them, even if they weren't verified, and it's because of his bias that everyone thinks Arthur Leigh Allen, despite not matching the description of the Zodiac. Graysmith didn't even meet the guy and fabricated a lot of the evidence in his book to point at Allen because of confirmation bias.
And it's not even the first time he's done this. He also wrote a book on Bob Crane, which was adapted and made into pic related (it's actually pretty good), but that movie isn't accurate and is filled with the confirmation bias of Graysmith AND the dumbass cops who fumbled the case.

Killers are generally even stupider.
>>220569306
Detectives tell you you generally need the same thing every time. You need to connect them to the body, you need to connect them to the weapon, you need to connect them to the scene. Pretty much everything else is circumstantial. His show size is a common one so if that's what you're bringing to court even a public defender will point that out. It is unironically not enough.

People give the Zodiac Killer way too much credit as a serial killer, thanks to the movie. Dude was actually terrible at his job if so many people were able to survive him. If anything, the police were the biggest obstacle to catching him because they were so terrible at their job.
>>
>>220570257
The use of DNA for ruling out subjects came about in the 70s, so more like 5-10 years, and it was predicted in sci-fi works well before (earliest I can find is 1953 with Arthur Clarke's Childhood's End)
>>
>>220569177
Yes yes good evidence, however he said he wasn't the zodiac
>>
>>220570653
Similar shoe size and not being available when letters are sent or having a watch with a symbol on it are not good evidence lol
Most of that can't even be seriously considered circumstantial. The line up identification is pretty much the only thing.
>>
>>220569177
He used to babysit a friend's kids and he'd bring the kids along when he went out murdering so he'd get waved through police roadblocks on the way home.

The "homeless" problem in California is like 80% a fox news meme. There's the sirloin in SF and skidrow in LA where they're concentrated but keep in mind the services are all located there so that's where they all hang out. The clips are like the same 2 square miles across both cities. The place it actually gets bad is way far in the north when it's trimming season. The trimmigrants get paid and hang out around Eureka until they're out of cash so they end up on the street. I visited there awhile ago and there were people huddled in EVERY store entryway trying to get out of the rain. Store owners had laser deterrents that fuck up your eyes and noisemakers and people just coped with it. Shit was incredibly sad.

Well yeah, you’re a real fucking loser if you need to surprise couples who are out for a picnic with a gun just to feel powerful. There’s no chance in hell Zodiac would have got into a boxing ring. He might have got hurt.

Slasher movies love to make these guys out to be evil forces of nature but they usually do some really limp wristed shit like shooting people from a distance or ambushing a 120lb woman. By and large they’re cowards. BTK for instance. Bind, Torture, Kill.

He didn’t just call himself “K” and he especially would never have just tried to approach a big man on the street and square up with him for mutual combat. He would have got his shit rocked, and he knew it. If anyone ever starts giving you serial killer vibes, legitimately just try punching them square in the fucking mouth. They hate that.

You do not know what you are talking about. Most murders are unsolved because police do not have the resources to make a case. It is not a question of intelligence for either party. It is very hard to say no under pressure by detectives who spend their lives making people crack. Cops will lie extensively to maneuver you into thinking capitulation is your only option even if you're innocent.

>>220569177
1. The watches were commonly worn back then. The shoe size is also common for a dude
2. The ID happened 20 years later. At the time, Mageau said he never got a good look at the killer. Other witnesses said ALA looked nothing like the suspect.
3. So did 1000s of men. The ciphers can be engineered to name anyone.
4. Partially true, but Zodiac communication was sporadic anyway.
5. This was reported decades later. No proven confession from ALA. Researchers are sceptical of the netflix docu.
6. No real evidence ALA was low-IQ. He worked as a teacher. Also, many believe the Zodiac deliberately misspelled words as subterfuge.

jury trials have nothing to do with "proof" and any competent attorney is most invested in selling a story to jurors that either diminishes or increases reasonable doubt in light of the available evidence. there have been murder trials where the defendant got off because their representation convinced the jurors it was plausible the victim had committed suicide by repeatedly stabbing themselves in the back -- they didn't have to "prove" that suicide is definitely what happened.

If you were to compare volume of judges and attorneys, they are VASTLY outweighed. There is no logically way you can supply intelligent due process to every legal issue given the sheer volume.

The legal system is mainly just a dog and pony show. At this point, court systems are just a boogeyman. It's so that you can more easily pretend that humans are intelligent where it matters (in law, in medicine, in engineering)

Society is dying because intelligence is being smothered by regular people. I hope I live long enough to see society break down to where I can see this normalshits crying and getting killed because now they can't just rely on the vague threat of organized society.

No finger prints, no weapons in his possession that matched the forensics, no access to military bases or equipment. Not to mention he doesn’t look at all like the witness sketch. The zodiac was probably just some schizo Vietnam vet that found out that he loved killing people and decided to continue it back home.

The biggest proof that Arthur Lee Retard isnt the zodiac is that they got DNA evidence from one of the supposed true Zodiac postcards and they used that to prove that the one zesty San Francisco detective forged at least one so called zodiac postcard.

I believe the cops didn't arrest him because it had gone on so long it would almost be more embarrassing to catch him and have the killer end up being this midwit retard that eluded you all those years. If you never catch him, you can claim the mythology that he must have been some sort of genius mastermind killer and somehow that actually makes the police look less incompetent
>>
>>220580960
they didn't arrest him because they didn't have any hard evidence and the press meddling in the active investigation meant they couldn't get any hard evidence, as the press' involvement made all evidence they could get circumstantial.

this is also the case where law enforcement was able to get the supreme court to rule that the press reporting on active investigations was obstruction of justice.

also the only thing connecting any of the murders is the press coverage of the murders.
>>
There's a memo in the FBI Zodiac files that says the SFPD detective, whose name escapes me (Mark Ruffalo played him), wrote at least three Zodiac letters
The source mentioned is the chief of San Francisco police
Not sure why the FBI would lie about this in internal memoranda, I believe there's also reference to a US Postal Service investigation that fingered this cop as having written some Zodiac letters
Surprised this isn't more widely known, meanwhile the police sketch from the San Fran murder looks exactly like the other detective, the one played by the guy from ER
So probably the reason they never solved it is it was (at least partly) a hoax that the police went along with to get the crime wave / race war under control

Toschi was his name. They got DNA off his hoaxed letters and it didnt match with the partial profile they got off a 78 letter.
Whether the 78 letter was written by the murderer is another thing.

>70s
late 80s and it wasn't commonly used AT ALL until the 90s/2000s. There was a good stretch in the 90s where it wasn't clear it would ever be broadly admissible in court.

All that seems like circumstantial evidence and I'm pretty sure no person in the usa has ever been convicted out of circumstantial evidence alone
It's called circumstantial for a reason, it's not direct evidence it's indirect shit
>Thousands of people work in proximity of the attack
>Thousands of people know what a cipher is or how to crack it, it's literally a hobby and I'm pretty sure it was also posted on the newspaper
>Thousands of people wear industry manufactured shoes, they literally made them in a factory in batches of thousands
>Thousands of people wear industry manufactured watches, they literally made them in a factory in batches of thousands
This is the weakest shit ever
If you told me he's wearing a unique handcrafted watch, unique handmade boots, you could at least have STRONG circumstantial evidence that is borderling evidence.
But all OP has presented is weak shit (except pointing him out in a police lineup, that's strong evidence unless it was paired with "It was pretty dark" shit)

always remember bayes law, but yes.
Fun fact, one of my professors contributed heavily to OJ getting off the hook. He was the prosecution's geneticist and he made a small error, which the defense tore to shreds.

The "Zodiac Killer" was a US Naval Intelligence psyop, I forget what the actual purpose of it was but I'm pretty sure it was some kind of clean up or cover up operation, with the added bonus that they got Americans scared of so-called "serial killers"

No one claims that every single square inch of a state larger than the entirety of Japan is rife with homeless. But practically every metropolitan area is teeming with them.

It WAS pretty dark and the photo lineup happened 20 years afterward

Also, why didn't the murders go up when he got out of prison in 1982?

bro shut the fuck up
I live in a nice suburban area of los angeles county and we get homeless people shambling through all the time
and there are no services or whatever the fuck for them here
I saw a guy taking a shit on the side of a building that sells second hand children's clothes only two days ago, only a block away from a high school

Zodiac is the greatest horror film of all time.

If you don't agree with me, FUCK YOU.
>>
>>220589296
It's a horror movie? More of a thriller, no?
>>
>>220569177
Why are people so obsessed with the Zodiac killer? didn't he just kill like 4 people?
>>
>>220590155
Also he wasn't even one of those shocking gruesome killers, he just went around shooting people
>>
>>220573961
they do the same thing with philadelphia in posting one street in Kensington and pretending the entire city is exactly like that.
>>
Another problem with cities in the US is municipal fragmentation making the stats skewed and making people much more willing to shit-talk a city they don't legally live in, but basically live in.

I live in LA and the homeless shithole problem has spread even worse since covfefe.
My baby momma lives in a nice expensive suburb and even there you can find homeless niggers screaming their lungs out at 2 AM.

>>220590155
Probably the letters and cipher captivated people. At the time they put this out front instead of all the murders being committed by black people.
>>
>>220590155
Because he was never caught, wrote creepy ciphers/letters, different M.Os of the killings

useless then, and becomes weak circumstantial

He's such a fucking idiot.
He's interesting only in his weird double life. He wasn't a loner or whatever. Just done church going dad. Fucking demons.

Now put that sketch up against Bill Armstrong
Btw does anybody know if Armstrong wore glasses back then? Fincher portrays him wearing glasses in a couple of scenes but I haven't seen any real pictures of Armstrong wearing glasses, except one when he was old

>skid row in LA
>20 years ago, skid row was about three square blocks centered around 5th and Broadway. Now, the homeless have spilled over into the garment and jewelry districts and take about 20 square blocks. And that's just downtown. There are homeless encampments everywhere now. And in the suburban Orange County city I live in, I never would see homeless in my neighborhood or even my part of town. You'd have to go down to the area by the railroad yards to see them. Now they are a regular fixture, including at the gas station at the entrance to my neighborhood and ambling along the thoroughfare in front of my development. They hang out at the local restaurants, grocery stores, and drive thrus, either loitering or sleeping inside or setting up little nests in the planters.

Many of them do though.

Obviously they’d one tap me. With their gun. From behind. Like the absolutely unathletic, cowardly losers they are. I am a large, slightly overweight man with an anger management problem and a drinking problem, and I would heem the fuck out of most serial killers. Same way I would to most men ITT if they wanted to get even slightly confrontational at the gas station. I’ve done it before, and I’ll do it again, courts be fucking damned.

Yes, a gun would be more deadly , and some chop socky bullshit would perhaps do longer lasting damage. But never underestimate a man who is ready to punch you straight in the kisser from he moment he first lays eyes on you, because he has problems with alcohol and his interpersonal relationships so that’s his default setting. Aggravated assault is a different crime, and it’s absolutely the counter to some skulking serial killer. In my world, the first punch is what allows the following eight to land flush, and a real public nuisance never throws second.

Makes sense. Misspellings that still make sense when read, would confuse things. Especially if you keep using the same misspelling.
doktor
doctor
docta
doctre

You could treat multiple words like this, and really drag things out. Especially if you can drastically chaaengue the numba of letters needed to spell a word.

I have no interest in killing anyone, but this will be useful to write my theories during my inevitable descent into paranoid school (tentatively expected next month or so). I can’t have the GANGSTALKERS read them now, can I?
>>
>>220594151
Makes sense. Your wash out, do nothing careers leaves you lots of free time to get good at mind puzzles like sudoku and scrabble. That’s all an IQ test is anyway, and you freaks love seeing how different people’s attempts at these sorts of activities grade on a standard bell curve.

Plus, I guess whiling away the hours fantasising about your next iq test and the possibility for a higher percentile score fills in the gaps between allowing the boys to be violently bullied and leering at the under-developed girls.
