Episode 668: The Zodiac Killer (Part 2)

So around 5.30 a.m., this officer was sitting in his car and had started writing a parking ticket for a vehicle parked in front of him. Sorry, parked in front of a hydrant when an unknown assailant approached him from behind and fired three shots through the driver's side window.

Yeah. It is worth noting, though, when referencing the first five murders in his letters, the Zodiac offered some form of evidence that validated his claims, like an unpublished detail or, in the case of Paul Stein's murder, a piece of physical evidence.

But the claims made in the letter since Paul Stein's death didn't include any verifications, and he very likely did learn about them through the press. Oh, so there you go. Yeah. But still, the letters are believed to have been sent by the Zodiac himself. Okay. So who knows? It's possible.

Two more letters were sent that year, one to the Chronicle on October 5th and another to Chronicle writer Paul Avery directly on October 27th. Like the others, these letters seemed to be an attempt to keep the story on the front page as a power move, since it had started to be replaced by other, more pressing matters.

The difference in the case of the October 27th letter, though, was that it was one of the rare instances where the killer addressed a single person. The only other time he had really done that was when it was Melvin Belly. Oh, yeah, yeah.

In this case, the killer sent a Halloween card to Avery, who had done the bulk of the reporting on the Zodiac for the Chronicle and made a vague threat on his life. But in an interview, Paul Avery said, I'm really not scared. I've needled him in some of my stories. Maybe that's why you wrote me.

He's like, I'm not afraid. That's fine. I'd be fucking terrified. Damn. Five months after Avery received the Halloween card threatening his life, the editor of the Los Angeles Time received its first letter from the killer. In the latest letter, the killer noted the number of victims was now 17. So he's going up like exponentially. I was just going to say that was a jump.

And he said, the reason that I'm writing to the Times is this. They don't bury me on the back pages like some of the others. Wow. He used this as an opportunity, obviously, to declare a higher victim number. Of course. It was mostly yet another letter taunting the police who had failed to make any significant progress on the case. He said, like I've always said, I'm crack proof.
