  • Bill Kurtis; the one and only crime narrator!

  • pause at 1:48 This photo has been made famous in photography classes, because it is a near-perfect example of how you can use perspective to create optical illusions (when you look in the space between the two men and above the horizon, the man on the right appears to be 10' tall).

  • Wrong

  • @Sn4pDr4gon

    *"free love and peace" movement aftermath*

  • @cnash41 ...random cabbie shooting that witnesses claimed was committed by an African American Male..or killer who's description was changed from African American to Caucasian that matched the generalized "Zodiac" description as soon as the police arrived and took statements? The serial killer in this context never existed...and I don't fault or distrust the police for doing what they did. They had never encountered a massive drug induced-city wide-epidemic before. Good on them.

  • @cnash41 ...cont..the police saw an opportunity in that circumstance to develop a character to calm the people and shield them from the reality that random murders were taking place.

    Who would have direct knowledge of how the competing news papers worked in the area: Hyper intelligent serial killer...or...police who deal with them day in and day out year after year? Different guns and bullets: picky killer...or..different people? Who are the first people to the scene? Police.

  • @cnash41 and to fall victim to black and white thinking in this scenario is why it worked.It is better for people to leave their homes thinking some isolated single force out there is praying on young couples than to think that anybody at anytime(under the influence of heavy psychotropics) could randomly fire on them for no reason which is what was happening.

    I think it is entirely plausible that somebody in a drug induced state put on an executioners hat and killed people AND..cont..

  • @cnash41 ..cont.. The police needed that element so they didn't have to say the truth which was "the murders are random..anybody strung out on drugs could be responsible". Fact: The Zodiac Slayings were synonymous with having different bullets fired from different weapons. Police answer to this: "Zodiac is picky about ammunition". Real Answer that fits the scenario "Different killers".

    The police made him for the betterment and well being of their society. I think it was a decent thing to do.

  • @cnash41 Zodiac was obviously a creation by law enforcement to put one face on drug induced random murders in the "free love and peace" movement in San Francisco in the mid sixties to early-mid 70's.The first Cyphers were actual "Cyphers"..the rest of them are jargon. They have never been cracked because they are meaningless..not because some "super force" made them...continued...

  • @Sn4pDr4gon so 3 different murderers then?

  • @ArmyBoyAE He got away, so he must have done something right...
