Also on that same day, a Vallejo police officer pulled him over for speeding that afternoon, like the same day as the attack at the lake. Yeah. And when the officer looked in the back of Alan's car, he discovered a bloody hunting knife, which Alan said he used to kill chickens. Oh. Yep.

Before the killing started, Alan frequently bragged to his friends that he was, quote, going to hunt couples at night, send letters to the press, and call himself Zodiac. Before any of this happened. I mean, whoa. Allen's coworker, Don Chaney, told police about these statements and voluntarily took and passed a polygraph. Wow. Yeah.

I mean, whoa. Allen's coworker, Don Chaney, told police about these statements and voluntarily took and passed a polygraph. Wow. Yeah.

In 1971, Chaney reported Allen to the police after he made several alarming statements indicating a, quote, desire to commit violence, some of which like some of the things he was saying were similar to statements made in the Zodiac letters. He said, quote, that phrase about picking the little darlings off. I remembered that. And that's what forced me to go to the police. Wow, this is compelling.

Compelling, right? After their interview with Chaney in 1971, police actually interviewed Allen a number of times and they searched his home where they discovered hunting knives inside as well as a freezer of dead hamsters, squirrels, and birds.

I don't know, man. But yeah. And in 1991, they searched his home again, and this time they found, quote, some writings, some pipe bombs, and some illegal weapons.

Yeah. Vallejo Police Captain Roy Conway told the San Francisco Chronicle in 1992, none of it was sufficient to make an arrest for him being the Zodiac.

Now, in 2002, DNA and fingerprint analysis was conducted comparing Allen's DNA and fingerprints to those found on the Zodiac letters, and they were not a match, which ruled him out as a suspect. But I don't know. I don't know. This one's weird. Yeah. Despite that finding, in 2018, Vallejo police detective Terry Poser told reporters, our Vallejo suspect, Alan, is probably still the best lead.

There are probably 30 different circumstantial things that point to him. He was extremely intelligent, but a deviant dude. Unfortunately, he died of natural causes in 1992. Yeah. Yeah. Now, in 2004, the case was officially made inactive by higher-ups at the San Francisco Police Department. They explained that their caseload required them to just set aside some older unsolved cases. It makes sense.

But in 2007, the case was reopened when investigators wanted to do additional DNA testing. And in 2018, after the capture of Joseph James D'Angelo... the Golden State Killer, using familiar DNA testing. Another profile was put together actually using the DNA from samples from the Zodiac letters, but the results were inconclusive. Of course they were. Yeah.

But as of now, the case does remain open with the FBI. Holy shit. And that is the infamous Zodiac case.
