the zodiac sent a lot of letters to the cops to taunt them, we know these are from the zodiac because he says stuff only the killer and police would know like how many times one of the victims was shot or the time of the murder
1968 to 1969 (?)
he used a gun most of the time but he also used a knife every once in a while
the word zodiac came from the Latin word zōdiacus but it is not known why he chose this although so people think it is because he wore a zodiac watch
he has 5 confirmed kills and 2 confirmed injures but people think he has up to 37 kills
he makes a reference to the 1924 book the most dangerous game
he says in one of his letters to the media that he "likes killing because it is so much fun"

the zodiac often put codes into his letters to make it more of a challenge for the media to know the whole story
out of all of the types of psychopaths the zodiac falls into a profile called the bragger, where he taunts the police to get attention
the zodiac didn't seem to have a favourite place to kill he killed everywhere from parks to roads to in a taxi
