Team member Bill Proctor, a former police officer who spent 40 years in television news, told Fox News that the Riverside Police Department is not revealing all the evidence it has on the killer.
The team said they obtained a 1975 FBI memo to Riverside police saying that Bates was a Zodiac victim. Nevertheless, the Case Breakers believe Bates was a victim of the Zodiac Killer and have continually tried and failed to get police investigators to compare her DNA to Poste’s. However, Fox News noted that the Riverside Police Department’s Homicide Cold Case Unit determined that her murder is not connected to the Zodiac. The Case Breakers also believe that Poste is responsible for the murder of 18-year-old Cheri Jo Bates, who was found dead in an alleyway in Riverside, Calif., two years before the Zodiac killings. “I just don’t think there’s any other way anybody would have figured it out.”

“So you’ve got to know Gary’s full name in order to decipher these anagrams,” she said. Jen Bucholtz, a former Army counterintelligence agent who works on cold cases, said the team also found deciphered letters sent by the Zodiac that revealed Poste as the killer, according to Fox News. The team said a few images featured in the press release show scars on his forehead that match scars on a sketch of the Zodiac Killer. The Case Breakers say they identified Poste as the killer after uncovering forensic evidence and photos from Poste’s darkroom. The killer notably taunted authorities through complex riddles and ciphers sent to media and police during the investigations. The Zodiac Killer has been connected to five murders between 19. The Case Breakers, which consist of former law enforcement investigators, journalists and military intelligence officers, said in a press release that they believe they have identified the Zodiac Killer as Gary Francis Poste, who died in 2018.

By offering new avenues and continuing a few established ones, this book will interest scholars of cinema and true crime along with fans and enthusiasts in these areas.įoreword: Zodiac, the American Murderer, and the End of Reason The book closes with a section focusing on game theory, data and hegemony, the Zodiac ’s treatment in music, and the use of sound in cinema. Section One focuses on early influences, while the second section analyzes the film’s unique treatment of narrative.
This collection is the first book-length work of criticism dedicated to the film. And yet, scholarship has largely ignored the film. While connected to this genre, the film also hybridizes the policier genre and the investigative reporter film. As the second film featuring a serial killer (and the first based on fact) by Fincher, Zodiac remains a standout in a varied but stylistically unified career. David Fincher’s Zodiac (2007), written by producer James Vanderbilt and adapted from the true crime works of Robert Graysmith, remains one of the most respected films of the early twenty-first century.
