The Zodiac Killer was responsible for five murders in California during the late 1960s. The Zodiac Killers first two murders was on December of 1968 in Benicia, California. David Farraday, who was 17, and Betty Lou Jensen, who was 16, were the first two of a series of murders by the Zodiac Killer. The two of them were inside a parked, when the Zodiac Killer came up behind them and shot them. A similar case happened to the next victim of the mysterious killer.

Peter Kürten was believed to have a “different” brain according to Charlie Hintz, a writer who viewed the decapitated head of Kürten at a museum in Wisconsin, United States (2017). In fact, the doctor assigned to observe Kürten before his execution, Dr. Karl Berg, believed Kürten had an altered brain chemistry (Ramsland, 2014). He believed his brain was composed of “’90 [percent] sadism’” and “’10 [percent]’” evil, stemming from the injustices done to him in his early years (Ramsland, 2014). Berg would later go on to write Sadist, a book detailing Kürten and his atrocities which was known as one of the first psychological studies of a serial killer based on sexual deviancy (Origjanska, 2018).

After returning from war, Krebs’s family wants him to be his old prior war self. Krebs’s parents try to entice him to go out on dates by giving him the privilege of using the family car, but he is uninterested. Krebs’s family assumes that he can go back to living his old life without any side effects from fighting in combat. His Parents do not bring up war or ask him how he is really feeling after returning. Krebs tries to isolate himself from his family and the outside world because he feels un-relatable. Interestingly, Steven Trout says, “In Krebs's household, more a soldier's hell than home, this denial assumes the form of his parents' condescension.” (Trout 12). This quote symbolizes that Krebs is struggling to relate and desiring to be understood. His parents think they know what is best for their son, but yet they never ask him what he thinks and how he feels. They lack compassion and understanding toward Krebs. They act as if Krebs never went to war and think that he should have no problem forgetting the war and moving on with his life. When Krebs is reading the paper he goes directly to the sports section due to having feelings “…of being cut off from a culture that in its rush to resume “normalcy” treats his wartime experiences as if they never happened” (Trout 12). Krebs feels out of place being back

The father in the story knows exactly what the boy is going through, but he cannot help him, because everyone encounters his or her own recollection of war. “When their faces are contorted from sucking the cigarette, there is an unmistakable shadow of vulnerability and fear of living. That gesture and stance are more eloquent than the blood and guts war stories men spew over their beers” (Zabytko 492). The father, as a young man, was forced to reenact some of the same obligations, yet the father has learne...
