The unsolved cases department has unwound the ball leading to the maniac from the sixth known victim. The first murder was committed decades ago, in the 1960s, in San Francisco.
The United States has identified one of the most famous serial killers who terrorized San Francisco in the late 1960s. A group of specialists investigating unsolved cases claims that they have found out who is hiding under the code name Zodiac and is a criminal, famous for his cruelty and unsolvable mysteries.
The Case Breakers, made up of more than 40 former law enforcement investigators, journalists and military intelligence officers, were involved in the disclosure, Fox News reported. They claim to have identified the zodiacal killer as Gary Francis Poste, who passed away in 2018.
Decades have passed since his first crime. The team was able to find new forensic evidence and photographs from Poste's secret room.
In one image, Poste's forehead shows scars that correspond to the scars on the composite Zodiac. And the whole tangle of the investigation began to unwind after the thread connected with the murder of Cherie Joe Bates.

The researchers believed that Bates was the sixth victim of the Zodiac, and tried unsuccessfully to get investigators to compare her DNA with Poste's. The team said there was a series of coincidences between Bates and Poste: Poste was an Air Force veteran who underwent a medical examination in connection with a firearms incident at a hospital 15 minutes from Bates's murder site. At the scene of the murder, a paint-splattered wristwatch was found, allegedly worn by the killer. Poste has been painting houses for over four decades. Detectives found Poste's boot heel print that matched in style and size to those found elsewhere in the Zodiac. The police, however, refuse to consider the death of Cherie Joe Bates as the sixth case of the Zodiac.
Also, as the newspaper writes, the serial killer during his lifetime put together a squad, which in California was nicknamed "the killing machine." It is noted that he almost picked up guys on the street who grew up without fathers, and "tamed" them. One of these, according to Fox News, said that he hid the identity of the criminal for 10 years.
According to correspondents, despite the fact that the leader has been dead for three years, some are still loyal to him. Perhaps this is somehow connected with one of his messages, which contains the following words: "I am not afraid of the gas chamber, because with its help I will find myself in paradise even sooner, because now I have enough slaves to work for me while others will have nothing.
