Arthur Leigh Allen
Robert Graysmith
Zodiac Killer

This is an interesting article, it clarified much more about who he could have been. I remember talking briefly about unidentified serial killers such as Jack the Ripper, and the Zodiac Killer. I have always heard stories about the Zodiac Killer not really knowing what exactly the details were. I had no idea that there was so much evidence, but it still was not enough to pin him. It still remains unresolved, and now that he is dead there really is not much left that could be done.

I have heard about the zodiac killer only because his name stood out, but never bothered to learn more about him. It is shocking that with the evidence they had on Allen, they never believed it was enough to prosecute him, when they clearly should’ve dug deeper into an investigation on him. It is sad that they were too late on prosecuting him because of his death, but in a way I think of it as he got what was coming to him anyways.

Articles such as this one deeply interest me because of all of the crime shows I watch such as “Criminal minds” and “Chicago P.D.”. The authorities had so much evidence on him, yet still hesitated on whether he was the one who committed the murders. Once they finally felt like he was the one committing the murders, it was too late. All those families were left without justice, and even though he passed away, he should’ve served time for the actions that all seemed to be his.

This article is very interesting and does a great job at writing an attention grabbing story. I have always heard about the Zodiac killer, but never knew what it was about. I am very into crime stories because I really like the show “Criminal Minds”. The images used in the article do a great job at setting the mood for the reader, and the choice of words really gives the article a heavy feeling while reading.

I’m a big fan of zodiac killer theories I enjoy seeing what everyone things about this case. It’s interesting to hear all the information backing it up and how it is all connected. Allen does sound like a good victim, however I’ve also heard other theories pointing other people that could also be true! According to some facts that I’ve researched, Allen’s fingerprints and DNA didn’t match the one’s found at the scene. Also, although handwriting analysis isn’t very reliable, I don’t think it matched either. Still, there’s always the chance that was a mistake, and the evidence you mentioned, like his birthday, and his sister, could really mean he was the Zodiac Killer. It’s terrible that the serial killer was never caught, and that the families of the victims never truly received justice. A positive is that people are still learning about it and in that way, their memories are still kept alive.

This article convinced me that Graysmith had enough evidence to prove that Allen was the Zodiac killer. For example, people that were close to Allen claimed that he referred to himself as the “Zodiac,” and on December 18th,1969, the Zodiac made a phone call to Melvin Belli’s household and claimed that it was his birthday and that he was going to kill, while Allen’s birthday is on December 19th. However, the case is still unsolved, and there is plenty of more evidence that connects other people to the murders. I think it’s so interesting to hear about all the evidence that’s present in this mystery, and I hope one day that it can finally be solved so that the victims can be brought to justice.

So this is a very interesting topic to me because I like to solve things and the Zodiac Killer was one of the toughest serial killers to catch at the time and so I’ve also read into this particular case and I just think its so cool that you really went into the research. These types of cases are always so fun to talk about because of all the possible outcomes that could have come out of it, but it also very sad that the killer was not caught.

I am just amazed by this article. The amount of evidence and detail it goes through and by retrieving so much information and back story is amazing. The fact that Allen called himself zodiac and did things without trying to hide it is just psychotic. He was out there on purpose and had no plans to hide it. So much evidence in his theory that ties it all together but its just a theory. A very compelling and well backed up theory and a coincidence that he hada a heart attack before being tried for the murders of the “Zodiac Killer”

How scary is it to think that no one ever caught The Zodiac Killer, but his case is also one of the most infatuating in modern history. It’s not Ted Bundy or Ed Gein where we caught and more or less understand why he did what he did, we don’t have an exact idea who he was, why exactly he did what he did, or what kind of person he was. All we know about him is how he killed his victims, and the various letters and notes he sent to the police. The era that he was in definitely gave him an advantage when executing his killings due to the lack of social media, instant information, fingerprinting, etc. Since technology has advanced such events like this are less common and are catchable in the early stages of their killing sprees. The Zodiac Killer was definitely a psychopath who had little to no empathy for humanity, and it’s frightening to fathom what was going through his head.

The only thing that I know about the Zodiac Killer is the name and that is mostly through shows on tv but this article is very well written and kept me interested throughout the whole article. What I find interesting is that they had evidence on Allen but it still wasn’t enough to truly prove that it was him and because of his death we will never really get a real answer as to if it was him or not. If it was then the killer is dead but if it wasn’t then the real killer was still on the loose. What a mystery.
