After the arrest of the Golden Gate Killer in 2018, it has aroused curiosity in other unsolved cases. Joseph James DeAngelo Jr was arrested and convicted after decades of being a mystery, this gives hope that the identity of the Zodiac killer could be found.

The Zodiac Killer is an unidentified serial killer who terrorized people in North Carolina in the late 1960s.

There are seven confirmed victims of the Zodiac killer but it is believed his victims are well over that, the killer himself claimed he murdered 37 people.

The killer taunted police and the media with his series of letters that he signed using the zodiac symbol.

The letters were sometimes written in codes like cryptograms, which had to be solved by the FBI. He claimed the victims were taken as “slaves” for the afterlife.

Is The Zodiac Killer Still Alive or Dead?

Over the years, the Zodiac killer ceased communication and the killings stopped. It is unknown if the killer died suddenly or had a change of heart.

However it is unlikely the killer is still alive, the two major suspects Arthur Leigh Allen and Gary Francis Poste are dead. Hopefully, with the advancement of technology in DNA testing, this 52 years mystery will be solved.
