Maybe sitting in some American nursing home like aged 87?
People think he may have stopped because he died irl, but wot if he just did not want to push his luck?
Crazy to think he could be out there still as someones grandfather. -

I agree with what
Soul_Venom
said
"died…killings stopped"
.
But he still sent gruesome letters after his last murder 1969; if that was his last murder. ☻
"From 1969 to 1974, the Zodiac sent over 20 letters to newspapers."
Let's do the math.

According to eyewitnesses, police and profilers he was 20-45 years old at that time.
For the shivers, I'll take the youngest possibility: 1969 - 20 = born 1949
Means, possible youngest age today 2026 would be
77 years old
.
Yep, he could still be alive.
Perhaps he simply improved his murder method and left no remains anymore.
So watch your steps!

If the killer's age is 77. Then it's confirmed. It's Eric the guy who makes videos that get 500 views.
The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times. -

Tara crunched the arithmetic and showed that Zodiac could still be alive.
worse case: the guy's internet savvy and has been killing nationwide, but with no fanfare or taunting of police
worst case: Zodiac has groomed multiple replacements and they-male and female- in deep sleep and will start killing when Zodiac dies -

Gamey, why are you denying the facts. Tara proved without a shadow of a doubt.
That it's obviously deformed feet or Eric as his parents knew him.

Your scenario would make a great (realistic!) Hollywood movie.

In the meantime, I watched a good docu.
Like across the world, many people here
'work'
on deciphering the last Zodiac Codes. #Enigma
I'll spare you the highly scientific video (automatic subs really bad).
Here's another newer one, which should contain the spectacular decryption from 2020.
In original English!
The Horrifying Zodiac Killer (2024) True Lives
David Fincher's 2007 film Zodiac is based on the real life story of the serial killer, called Zodiac, who terrorised San Francisco in the late 60s and early 70s. The film focuses on the efforts of cartoonist Robert Graysmith to catch the killer, eventually leading to him writing a bestselling book about the case.
But how much of the movie is based on the real life facts?
