 To start off the timeline we have a couple named Betty Lou Jensen and Dave Faraday murdered in a lovers lane by Vallejo high school by multiple gunshot wounds. The police had no leads or evidence on who could have committed double homicide. The next event was an attempted double homicide against Darlene Ferrin and Michael Mageau. Mike barely survived but did not share the same fate with Darlene as she passed away after being shot multiple times. They once again had no idea who killed her and was about to start suspecting some of her ex boyfriends. 2 minutes after Darlene's death was confirmed SFPD received a mysterious phone call stating that he had killed 2 people in a brown car and confirmed that he also killed those two kids earlier that year. Suddenly 3 local newspapers had received letters from the Zodiac killer, each with a different cypher and information about the victims that only the killer could have known along with the Zodiac's signature symbol. The next event hap...

 The first victims created a confusing mystery to who the Zodiac killer was because of a few reasons. To start they were outstanding people without any reason to be killed. But them being the first victims before becoming a part of the Zodiac's kill list left the police thinking that this was just a usual homicide case. So they first look at Betty Lou's ex boyfriend Ricky, gun toting locals, and eventually look towards their classmates for more information. Eventually everyone had an alibi whether it was about the guns involved or where everyone was at the time of the homicide. The real first suspect they had an eye on slipped through the police departments fingers as they very possibly met face to face on a crime scene. This happened after the Zodiac murdered a cab driver while a 14 year girl and her 2 brothers watched and called the police. The girl describes the killer as a white man in a dark jacket, but when patrolmen Donald Fouke and Eric Zelms arrived to the scene for re...

 In this cold case there are up to 7 victims dead or barely alive by the Zodiac killer. To start we will talk about the backgrounds of the first victims to start it all.  The first two victims were actually a couple and are named  Betty Lou Jensen and Dave Faraday. Betty was a junior in high school, an honor student, and a member of the Sunshine girls, whose mission was to help and service everything that made life happier and easier for everyone. Dave was a senior in high school, a member of the student government, partook in the high school wrestling team, and was very active in eagle scouts and even won the god and country award. The next victims are named Darlene Ferrin and Michael Mageau. Darlene was 22 years old and was the mother of Deena Ferrin. Darlene died to gunshot wounds while Michael survived. She was also married twice and worked as a waitress at Terry's restaurant. Since Michael Mageau did survive the incident he then kept a low profile for reasonable pu...

The case I chose was the Zodiac killer's, year long killer moniker. This case is about a serial killer who was never caught after attacking at least seven people with the intent to kill them. This case happened between the dates of  December of 1968 to December of 1969. This case was located within various locations in San Francisco, California.  A reason I chose this case was because of how weird of a killer the Zodiac killer was. Usually whenever a killers victim is found they would at least try to clean the scene or give the least amount of evidence that could be held against them. But instead of doing that, for some reason he gave the police as much evidence as he could. This could be leaving bullet casings, leaving messages on cars, sending letters to the police station, etc. He would even call in to shows when people were trying to lie about being him. On top of that he would call the police to tell them where bodies were and made bomb threats with proof just for the lov...
