Well, I'm doing a report on Serial Killers at school, unfortunately, I was picked last, and looked at the list. I looked at what wasn't taken, and saw the Zodiac Killer. The name sounded interesting so I picked that. I looked up info on him, and turns out to be an interesting person.

Did they ever catch him?

Do you think he sounds interesting? If not, I'll pick another person and do researching on him.

You're doing a research paper on him, and you don't even know if they caught him?

He was never caught. Overall though the case is very interesting. Best bet is watch the movie Zodiac (the one with Jake Gyllenhal) and read the book. Very interesting

They pretty much had it solved, but the guy died and they never proved it. There's a pretty good movie called Zodiac with Jake Gyllenhall in it.

As has already been mentioned, you should watch the movie Zodiac (2007). It's really good... and you will probably be a lot more motivated to do research on him after watching it...

I wouldn't say the Zodiac killer is my favorite serial killer. He's definitely interesting, though.

The tested his DNA against DNA they found "recently" by testing the letters that he sent the newspapers. They did not match.

I recommend watching the film "Zodiac" with Robert Downey Jr. Its a great movie in my opinion and gives you some perspective on it.

:edit: Seems like many people already mentioned watching the film:P

Well the end of the movie had a lot of evidence. I've never done any research beyond that.

Zodiac is an interesting serial killer. I am actually doing a report in school on Jeffrey Dahmer, sick man but interesting none the less. I find it disgusting though how he tried to make zombies. He would drill holes into peoples head and pour acid into it. The victim still alive but left it a zombie, barely mobile, state. Slow torturing death.

If you do decide to watch the movie, make sure you pick the right one...I think there was another movie called "The Zodiac" or something released in 2006 and it was supposed to be terrible. The one with Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey is the one you want.
