Zodiac Killer Case

Decent Essays
My group, on our podcast talked about a person named The zodiac Killer. We picked him to talk about on the podcast because we all didn’t know who to do it on so i recommended someone i was most familiar with and they agreed on it. We then did some research on him and his case and found it interesting how and why his case was never solved. And I have some reasons why i think the case was never solved. What I believe happened was that I think the Zodiac was just too smart for the police to find out who he was. I think that if the Zodiac was able to write letters and call the police to tell them what he did and they couldn’t find him then hemust have been really smart to not be traced or caught.

The biology unit took this shirt and easily compared it to the DNA of the body they found to determine if the blood on the shirt matches the victim.
