Sometimes people are afraid that revenge will be brought upon them. Put yourself in their shoes. If your family is threatened by thugs who have killed people, would you report them for a 1 year sentence without fear for vengeance?

Does any one believe that the Zodiac Killer is a supernatural being?
I think not so much supernatural, but the possiblity has been debated that he may have been a Satan worshiper. I find both theories too far-fetched to consider. Police were relatively certain he was a flesh and blood man. From his victims, crime scenes, and taunting letters to police and press, it was made clear he was human, and very evil. Zodiac left a crime scene and made a phone call to police to report the murders from a public pay phone. When police arrived the sweat had not dryed on the receiver from Zodiac's sweaty hand. Supernatural beings don't sweat.

How can I file a protective order against an individual whose physical address I do not know?
In short, you can't. However, you can report the crime that you feel makes on necessary. And if that crime is pursued by the District Attorney, the police will be instructed to find him for purposes of questioning or arrest. And at that point his address of record would be available. Best bet? Explain the situation to the police - or an attorney in your area - and see what they think.
