Who Was the Zodiac Killer?

Before we dive into the code, let's quickly recap who this infamous serial killer was.

The Zodiac Killer was an unidentified American serial killer who operated in Northern California from at least the late 1960s to the early 1970s. He was dubbed the "Zodiac" after sending taunting letters to the local press, including four cryptic ciphers that he challenged the police and the public to solve. The letters were signed with the phrase "Zodiac" and included a unique symbol resembling a crosshair, which became his calling card.

The Infamous Ciphers

The Zodiac Killer's code consisted of four cryptograms sent to the San Francisco Chronicle and the Vallejo Times-Herald between 1969 and 1974. These ciphers were created using a substitution cipher, where each letter of the alphabet is replaced by another letter, symbol, or number. The killer claimed that if his message was not solved within a certain time frame, he would go on a killing spree.

The first cipher, sent in 1969, was solved by schoolteacher Donald Harden and his wife, Bettye. The message read: "I like killing people because it is so much fun it is more fun than killing wild game in the forest because man is the most dangerous animal of all to kill something gives me the most thrilling experience it is even better than getting your rocks off with a girl." Chilling, right?

The other three ciphers, however, remained unsolved for decades, frustrating cryptographers and codebreakers worldwide. Until now.

The Code Cracked: A Breakthrough

Fast forward to 2021, when a group of independent codebreakers, led by David Oranchak, decided to take another stab at the Zodiac Killer's code. And guess what? They cracked it!

The team, which included French codebreaker Gildas Aho and Australian codebreaker Sam Blake, used a combination of computer algorithms and old-fashioned detective work to decipher the killer's message. After more than 50 years, the Zodiac Killer's code was finally broken.
