It took five decades for someone to “crack” the “code” of an encrypted message sent by the infamous killer. Zodiac in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1969.
According to New York Post, a team of coding experts managed to solve the puzzle that remained unsolved for more than half a century. What they discovered was that serial killer, who was never arrested, mocked the policemen who tried to catch him in his message and assured them that he did not fear the death penalty, if they succeeded.
“I hope you have a lot of fun trying to catch me. I’m not afraid of the gas chamber because it will send me to paradise an hour earlier. Now I have enough slaves to work for me.” writes the message of the serial killer who had to “wait” 51 years to be read.
The famous “Cipher 340”, a mosaic of letters, numbers and symbols, did not end up hiding the name of the serial killer The group that managed to decipher the message, however, is very pleased and hopes that this fact can help authorities to better understand the Zodiac, which has been confirmed to have committed at least five murders. from 1968 to 1969, but assumed responsibility for a total of 37 while inspired other serial killers.
“Last weekend a team I was on solved ‘340’ and presented the solution to the FBI, who then verified it. I’m not kidding you. It’s absolutely true.” He said David oranchak in the Chronicle of yesterday Friday. An FBI spokeswoman in San Francisco confirmed that the message had been decrypted and said the agency was aware that a group of people had recently solved the puzzle. Zodiac.
The Zodiac was primarily aimed at young couples and enjoyed poking fun at the police and the media, sending letters and encrypted messages about their unsolved murders.
His nickname comes from his own letters, as it was the name he had chosen to sign them with. The Zodiac even accompanied its signature many times with a symbol that included a cross in a circle. It was the same symbol that appeared on Zodiac watches at the time of his murder.
In 1969, a teacher in the Salina area of California and his wife managed to “break” another of the serial killer’s encrypted messages. He simply wrote: “I like to kill because it’s so much fun.”
It is unclear if the Zodiac is still alive. According to descriptions of that period, if you really live today you will be very old. However, the FBI has not stopped trying to catch him. “The Zodiac case remains open. We continue to seek justice for the victims of their heinous crimes.”the police spokeswoman said, according to the New York Post.
