Murder Cases: What´s The Zodiac?

The Zodiac In the 1960’s and 1970’s there were many unsolved murder cases. A handful of deaths were attributed to a single killer. He only killed in the San Francisco Bay area of California. The menace wreaked havoc was no other than the self-proclaimed Zodiac Killer. Due to the evidence found against him in his house, previous criminal records and accusations, and his fascination with Zodiac, the obvious guilty party is Arthur Leigh Allen. Even before the Zodiac ordeal, Arthur had run-ins with police. For starters, Allen really loved children. In 1964 Allen was sent to federal prison on two counts of child molestation (Arthur Leigh Allen file, 2017). This relates because the women killed by Zodiac were not raped; meaning he preferred kids

For example, when Allen was in prison for molesting children, he would write letters to them asking for updates regarding the case. He stated in one letter “I wish to know more about Zodiac, since everyone seems to think I’m him (Arthur Leigh Allen file, 2017).” He obviously was hiding something.

Not a single weapon was registered in his name. Furthermore, bombs were discovered inside of his house. Two pipe bombs were found hidden underneath Allen’s bed (police file.org). In a letter to police, Zodiac describes a failed attempt at a bus bombing; both people had the resources to craft a bomb. One more point is, police recovered an old, empty tape labelled “Z”. “The tape was empty, but it was on the computer desk hinting that Arthur planned on recording a message onto it,” stated chief of police, Eddie Brax (zodiac finder, 2006). Had Allen not died, then we would have received a confession. To summarize, there are so many reasons why Allen is guilty; but some
