Gary Stewart's Story Analysis: The Zodiac Killer

The Zodiac Killer Four decades ago from the late 1960’s to early 1970’s many people were afraid of the “Zodiac Killer”. Mostly because he was never captured and unknown. The killer named himself Zodiac, and symbolized himself with a cross-circle. He sent a series of encrypted letters to the local Bay Area press, in California.
