Was Son of Sam a serial or spree killer?

Although it is common to see murder catagories used interchangeably the crimes are very different, not just in MO but in the psychology of the offender's mind. The FBI defines the spree killer as a person that kills two or more victims without a 'cooling off' period between kills. This cooling off period is what sets it apart from serial murder. Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz is a serial killer. His crimes were single episodes with weeks between attacks. With the passing of time it is common to see the cooling off period grow shorter. The cimes escalate, in some cases to a state of frenzy, and the killer may begin to make mistakes, leaving evidence that will eventially convict him.

Is it possible that the Zodiac Killer was actually Ted Bundy?

No possibility at all, for many reasons. The Zodiac's crimes included several murders in southern California. Cheri Jo Bates, a Riverside College student was found murdered on the morning of October 31, 1966. Bundy was in Washington state, about 1,200 miles from Riverside. But there is a more obvious descrepancy between the two killers. Bundy's criminal MO and signature are polar opposites of the Zodiac's. Bundy targeted lone females of college age. Zodiac usually attacked couples. Bundy bludgened and then strangled his victims. Zodiac used guns and knives. Zodiac got a thrill by taunting police, seeking publicity at every turn. Bundy was just the opposite. Initially, he neither wanted or needed to draw attention to himself or his crimes.

Who was believed to be the Zodiac Killer?

There are many theories about who the Zodiac killer is but no one has been officially identified. In the 1960s, when these crimes were committed, much of the forensic sciences that we rely on today did not exist. Making investigation more difficult at that time was the difficulty involved in timely communication between the jurisdictions where the crimes were committed.In 2002, the San Francisco police reopened the case to perform DNA tests on the flaps of envelopes confirmed to be from the killer, in particular, from the letter containing the piece of blood stained cloth identified as having to been cut from a victim's shirt. The DNA could not positively identify any of the primary suspects and conclusively ruled out three of the main suspects. The case is still open.The Zodiac is a man with deep spiritual generational wounds. His murders were well planned, he had his weapons, location, used a disguise, and had a wonderful time taunting police and public alike. There is no doubt that the Zodiac was highly intelligent. Three of his coded messages sent to police and newspapers have still not been cracked by the FBI. This man left nothing to chance. These kinds of organized killers are some of the hardest to catch.The Zodiac killer was a serial killer in the state of California. The Zodiac murdered victims in Benicia, Vallejo, Lake Berryessa and San Francisco between December 1968 and October 1969 but crimes in Riverside and Santa Barbara in the south part of California were concluded to be his. Persons have come forward and state to have seen him in the Riverside area and in the Nevada state in multiple sightings throughout the state.He sent coded messages to the police and claimed that his name was in the last message he sent. As in 2011, the message was decoded and the main suspect turned up to be the Zodiac Killer. He name was Arthur Leigh Allen. Before the message was decoded, there was some circumstantial evidence like the brand of typewriter used to type a letter sent to the Riverside Police Department from Cheri Jo Bates's killer was identified as a Royal with an elite type, the same brand of typewriter which was found during a search of Allen's residence in February 1991, he owned and wore a Zodiac brand wristwatch and also Allen lived in Vallejo and worked minutes away from where one of the first victims lived and where one of the killings took place.Former SFPD Inspector David Toschi echoed Conway, "Mr. Allen was a very, very good suspect. We looked into Mr. Allen very closely." The article further stated that police "focused on Mr. Allen in 1971 when relatives and friends told police he was acting erratically," and that "Mr. Allen had reportedly told some people that he was the Zodiac killer." Neither of the statements was entirely accurate, and the sudden reference to the suspect as "Mr. Allen" seemed an obligatory gesture to the dead. Finally the police confirmed 5 dead, 2 injured from the number he claimed which were 37 victims. That confection was not backed up. Arthur Leigh Allen died in 1992 almost 20 years before his message was decoded.The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Zodiac murdered victims in Benicia, Vallejo, Lake Berryessa and San Francisco between December 1968 and October 1969. Four men and three women between the ages of 16 and 29 were targeted. Numerous suspects have been named by law enforcement and amateur investigators but no conclusive evidence has surfaced. The killer coined the name "Zodiac" for himself in a series of taunting letters sent to the local Bay Area press.

What serial killer made a crucifix design on a murder victim?

The Zodiac killer that terrorized most of California in the 1960s and 1970s stabbed Cecelia Shepard 24 times, cutting the outline of a bloody cross. Starting in 1966, the Zodiac left a trail of bodies all over California. Nobody is really positive on the body count. Sinse there was never an arrest, hence no confession, there is only speculation as to number of victims. The bestselling book by Robert Graysmith makes for a compelling case against a Vallejo, CA man named Arthur Leigh Allen. Graysmith thought it more than coincedental that all Zodiac letters and murders stopped and started again depending on if Allen was in the mental institution or prison. There has been recent DNA testing done on an envelope sent with a Zodiac letter. Allen didn't lick the envelope. Conclusion:Allen had an above average IQ and in fact held more than one degree in science. If I were that smart I would have someone lick the envelope for me. Interesting fact:While Allen was attending school at Sonoma State University and living in Santa Rosa, CA there were 8 unsolved murders that were consistant with Zodiac's MO.
