Abstract
In the late 1960’s, there was a man roaming California on a killing spree. With seven confirmed victims, five killed and two injured, the Zodiac killer became one of the most allusive serial killers in United States. His method of attack was different each time and only thing that could tie him to each of the crimes was the fact that he reported the crimes himself. This paper is going to give you the events that occurred on the nights that Zodiac attacked. This includes; what they were doing at the time of the attack, how they were and attacked, if they survived the attack. It has been reported that, there have been many more victims of the Zodiac but these are the only ones that he has taken credit for. Also included are the descriptions given to the police as to what the Zodiac Killer looks like, as given by the surviving victims and the witnesses of the attacks.

He has reportedly killed five people and injured at least two. His method of attack varies in each crime and the only thing that ties them all together is the phone calls he made after each of his attacks. The interesting part of the case is when the Zodiac, himself, sent encoded messages to the media for them to circulate into the newspapers. The name “Zodiac” was the name he used to address himself in the letters he sent. The reason I chose to write on the topic of the Zodiac Killer is simply because I find it interesting that the first crime was committed over 45 years ago and the killer still has not been caught. I will give you specific details on each victim of the Zodiac
