With few exceptions there was*. Zodiac usually targeted couples or for lack of a better word, 'lovers lane' couples. Either parked in cars or isolated areas where young lovers could be alone. Although attacking male and female, the target seemed to be the girl. It would seem the killer had a problem with intimacy between heterosexual couples.

His choice of victims though, did not seem to be related to their astrological signs. But his crimes came on or near celestial events such as summer/winter solstice, equinoxs, phases of the moon and planetary alignments.

It is also true that Zodiac's crimes reflected school holidays, which came as no surprise to detectives. They suspected Zodiac may have possibly been a school custodian, ect.

*Paul Stine, the San Francisco cab driver did not fit into the 'couples MO'. But there was a distinct reason for his murder. Zodiac, if nothing else, was intelligent. Stine's murder was to derail the investigation by breaking the pattern. It also added to the confusion of compiling evidence between different cities and counties. Even to this day there are complications when multiple police agencies decline to share information with each other.

Could the Zodiac Killer be in mafia?

When the identity of a person is not known as a fact, anything could be possible. Now, the Zodiac killer connected to the mafia is highly unprovable. The victims had no connection linking them to the mafia and the victims had no motive for the mafia to murder them. The Zodiac killer had a successful serial killer career. Most serial killers who achieved this are functional psychopaths. That gives us another reason, functional psychopaths aren't team players. The Mafia are team players.
