Arthur Lee Allen is the only named suspect in the Zodiak Murders. These five murders occurred in the San Francisco Bay area between December 1968 and October 1969. The killers reason for killing (which was explained in several letters he sent to the police) was that he was gathering slaves for him to have in the afterlife. Allen died in 1992 of a heart attack. There were many other suspects, but no DNA or other evidence was ever taken from any crime scenes. Saliva from several letters the killer wrote didn't match any of the suspects. Here are several pieces of circumstantial evidence that has been connected to Allen: * He owned a watch that matched the symbol used by the killer. * He lived near crime scenes. * Allen had a typewriter similar to the one used to write the letters that the police received. * He had previously discussed writing a book about a killer that would send letters to the police. There was never any evidence found to link Allen to the murders. Fingerprint and handwriting didn't match. The Zodiac murders remain unsolved. What are your thoughts?
