The
Zodiac Killer murdered five people and critically wounded
two others in Northern California between December 1968
and October 1969. An individual who identified himself
with the moniker claimed to be the murderer and frequently
corresponded with newspapers in California, in some cases
submitting enciphered messages with his letters that may
contain some evidence of his identity.
The
FBI did not have jurisdiction in the murder cases and
did not directly investigate, but was enlisted by local
law enforcement to perform forensic examinationsanalysis
of the codes, handwriting, and latent fingerprintsof
the letters, envelopes, and cryptograms.
Documents
here include requests for FBI assistance, results of FBI
analysis, and tips from the public on the possible identity
of the Zodiac Killer.
The
case remains unsolved.
