In the late 1960s, 7 people were attacked by a killer who targeted young couples on dates in secluded areas of Northern California. The 4 men and 3 women ranged from 16 to 29 years old, but only 2 survived their encounters with the dangerous Zodiac, who claimed his name in a series of letters and cryptograms sent to Bay Area police and newspapers. The killer claimed almost forty murders and, more chillingly, provided details from the confirmed crime scenes that he alone could have known. Although Zodiac was never caught, police and amateur investigators have pursued several suspects, and the case remains open in the California Department of Justice and related counties.
