Why have your advancements in DNA evidence never caught the Zodiac?

In a way it has. After the release of the Zodiac bestseller, updated edition, by Robert Graysmith detectives were in the process of 'getting all their ducks in a row' and had planned to make an arrest in the case. Longtime Vallejo, CA resident Arthur Lee Allen who at the time of his death was serving time on unrelated charges, died before he could be charged in several of the Zodiac murders.
In the last year or so there have been several people that have come forward with claims that relatives of theirs were the killer but these claims have not been able to stand under forensic testing. For those that have read Graysmith's book on the Zodiac murders one thing stands clear. Wherever Allen happened to be, bodies turned up. Whether it was the Los Angeles area where Allen used to visit frequently, Santa Rosa, CA where Allen earned his post-graduate degree or the areas around his hometown of Vallejo. When he left an area, including incarcerations for inappropriate behavior with children, the killings ceased.

He was smart, he was careful and he was lucky. It was very difficult to pool evidence due to the fact that Zodiac killed in different jurisdictions from southern California to north of San Francisco. There was no DNA or Luminol, and many of the small towns involved had no fax machines or cell phone tracking by cell towers. The 1960's and '70s's were not that long ago. But those decades were in the stone age of technology.
