Identified the identity of the Zodiac maniac The Case Breakers, a team of more than 40 former law enforcement investigators, journalists and military intelligence officers, spoke about the disclosure of the identity of the Zodiac killer. Writes about this Fox News. According to investigators, a painter named Gary Francis Post, who died in 2018, called himself the Zodiac. The Case Breakers found evidence in forensic documents and uncovered photographs from Post's "secret room." On one of them, experts noticed a scar on the forehead, as well as on the photorobot of the Zodiac. The members of the group deciphered one of the letters written by the Zodiac, the name of Post was the key to decryption. “So you have to know Gary's full name in order to decipher these anagrams. I don't think there is any other way,”said one of The Case Breakers, who previously worked in military intelligence. Investigators also found a connection between the Zodiac and another murder, 18-year-old Cherie Joe Bates was allegedly his sixth victim. They believe that Post killed the girl on October 31, 1966 in California, two years before the first murder that is associated with him. The Case Breakers cited a 1975 FBI memo stating that Sheri Joe Bates was the sixth victim of the Zodiac. Zodiac is one of the most famous serial killers, whose identity has not yet been established. He committed crimes in San Francisco from the late 1960s to the early 1970s and became famous for encrypted messages for police officers and journalists. In one of them, he stated that he had killed 37 people. Law enforcement agencies have so far been able to confirm only five murders of the Zodiac.
