this came up yesterday. as fun as the headline is-they dont remotely id the zodiac killer, or link him to another murder.

"The Case Breakers, a team of more than 40 former law enforcement investigators, journalists and military intelligence officers, has tackled other mysteries such as the D.B. Cooper hijacking heist, the disappearance of former labor union boss Jimmy Hoffa and other unsolved cases. "

none of which have been solved.

"The team's years of digging uncovered new forensic evidence and photos from Poste's darkroom. One image features scars on the forehead of Poste that match scars on a sketch of the Zodiac, the team said. "

the pictures just look like a normal dudes forehead wrinkles.

"Investigators later confirmed the author was not involved in the Bates murder, and the Zodiac was never linked to the crime. " "Our Homicide Cold Case Unit has determined the murder of Cheri Jo Bates in 1966 is not related to the Zodiac killer," the Riverside Police Department's Homicide Cold Case Unit told Fox News."

yall really need to read the articles you make threads about.

They say they deciphered it thru letters the zodiac killer wrote. Yet don't want to show the letter or explain the code. Sounds fake news.

I think it was like Jack the Ripper, some rich guy did it so that is why police covered it up.

I must be reading it wrong, then. It looks to me like they indeed name Poste as who they think is the Zodiac Killer. They even link this Fox News article on their website. The official LEO narrative is that Poste was not the Zodiac Killer, so that may be what you are talking about. While I think Arthur Leigh Allen is the most likely suspect, I also like to hear others, especially professionals, who have their own ideas. Their theory on Robert Rackstraw being Dan Cooper and being covered up because he worked for the CIA is interesting.

check out their website, holy shit: https://thecasebreakers.org/about-the-case-breakers/

full of misspellings and not any evidence of a single 'case' being 'broken'. at the top,'the elite team thats solving our greatest mysteries'!!

"The team said a series of coincidences connect Bates and Poste: Poste was an Air Force veteran when he received medical check-ups for a gun incident at a hospital located 15 minutes away from the Bates murder scene. A wristwatch with paint splatter on it was collected at the murder scene and is thought to have been worn by the killer.

Poste painted homes for more than four decades, the team said. In addition, detectives found a heel print from a military-style boot, which matched the same style and size of those found in other Zodiac crime scenes and of Poste."

so youre telling me there was a guy in california, who wore boots and a watch, painted houses, and was a veteran? damn, case closed-the case breakers did it again!

They are overselling this a lot.

Isn't there evidence that everything in the zodiac letters could have been gotten from the press at the time so they could be a hoax?
