He offered to meet the killer in a private location of his choosing, but as the days passed without a response, it became clear that the Zodiac had no intention of actually turning himself in or meeting with Belly.

Yep, I agree. After the letter was sent to Belly in late December, communication from the Zodiac ceased for several months until a pair of letters showed up at the offices of the Chronicle in late April about a week apart. Like the other letters, the latest seemed to be an attempt to manipulate the press into keeping the story alive on the front pages. Because remember, there's no new leads.

He hasn't killed anybody that the police can link to him. So this isn't being reported on exactly how it was when it was like when everybody was in the thick of it. Yeah. But in these letters, the Zodiac demanded that investigators release, quote, all of the details of his bus bomb threat and called on San Franciscans to wear โ€“ to start wearing, quote, some nice Zodiac buttons.

case of power trip it is in the worst way possible yeah well the april letters repeated their earlier claims that the killer had developed a massive bomb and was planning to leave it in an undisclosed public location in order to cause now he's at the most damage possible like the previous threats this obviously caused considerable panic among the public but after a few weeks without an evidence any kind of evidence about an actual bomb things slowly started to return to normal

And like the previous letters, the April letters stated that the killer had taken more lives, of course, but the police had yet to catch on. He said, I have killed 10 people to date. It would have been a lot more, except I was swamped out by the rain we had a while back. Fuck. Like, oh, okay. Oh, cool. More letters followed a few months later.

In late June, the editor of the Chronicle received a note along with a new cipher saying, this is the Zodiac speaking. I've become very upset with the people of the San Fran Bay area. They have not complied with my wishes for them to wear some nice crosshair symbols button. I promised to punish them if they did not comply by annihilating a full school bus.

But now school is out for the summer, so I punished them in another way. I shot a man sitting in a parked car with a .38. Oh, now this is interesting. Yeah. The note was signed with the usual crosshair symbol, of course, and text indicating that the Zodiac had now killed 12 people and was accompanied by what would be his fourth and final cipher.

So a lot of people think that the line about the man being shot in his car with a 38 was a reference to the June 19th death of 25 year old San Francisco police officer. I looked up his name. I'm not positive. There's a few different pronunciations, but But I think the best one is Richard Raddick. Okay. Right?
