Yeah, it definitely does. I can't imagine living in this area at that time. No. Because for me, it's the costume, but also the fact that literally, like I said earlier, no one is safe. Yeah. Couples, cab drivers, kids, and he would just switch at a moment's notice.

So in the wake of the most recent letters from the Zodiac, the Sheriff's Department assigned more than 70 deputies to guard the school buses as they transported children to and from school.

It seemed like the killer was expanding his geographic range to a degree too, so a kind of interagency task force was assembled, which included officers from all local and regional law enforcement agencies, with the intention of pooling resources and evidence that could lead to an arrest, which is... Kind of profound because it doesn't happen a lot. Yeah, no. These agencies work together.

No, that's actually the most shocking. And I think it also points to how desperate they were to catch this guy. Almost a year had passed since the Zodiac first struck in Vallejo, and in that time he had now killed five and seriously wounded two others, again leaving very little evidence behind and just openly taunting investigators and the public.

But while it seemed like the Zodiac was only just starting his rampage, interestingly, Paul Stein would turn out to be the last victim officially linked to the Zodiac.

I don't know for sure if Paul really was the Zodiac's last victim, but officially he is. Okay. That being said, a lack of victims didn't mean a lack of attention, and the man known as the Zodiac Killer was about to be elevated to a status that had never been seen before in American history.

Within a few days of receiving and publishing the Stein letter, public concern over the threat posed had reached a point where the law enforcement agencies couldn't ignore it. So Chief of Police Martin Lee released an all-points bulletin containing instructions for school bus drivers who might find themselves the target of the killer.

The bulletin read, and this is just, I can't imagine putting my kids on a school bus during this time. Oh, God. It read,

Yeah, absolutely it is. Holy shit. And then thinking like these little kids getting on the bus and like if that were to happen, the bus driver's just supposed to tell them to lay on the ground.

So somehow the notice from Lee did help reassure a lot of the drivers, but he still couldn't help but take a swipe at the killer, the police chief. He referred to the Zodiac as a, quote, clumsy criminal liar and a latent homosexual. huh, like what? What if anything indicated his sexual preference?
