Welcome
Welcome to the Zodiac Ciphers blog. Here I will try to post all the latest news on efforts to solve the mysterious Zodiac ciphers, which, with only one exception, have remained unsolved for over 40 years.
The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who claimed several victims in Northern California in the 1960s and 1970s. He terrorized the area with his crimes, letters, and taunts, and has never been caught. Some of his letters included mysterious cryptograms. Only one has been solved definitively. Do the rest of them contain any real messages? If so, would they shed any light at all on the identity of the mysterious killer?

Your readers may be interested to learn that the “Zodiac Killer” letters and phone calls themselves were a hoax. You can read more about it here:

Thomas Horan’s theory that the letters and phone calls were all part of an elaborate hoax has many problems with it. Some examples can be found in this thread:

To summarize: Thomas Horan makes bold claims about a hoax, but doesn’t provide any satisfactory evidence to back the claim. When confronted by skeptical questions about his hoax, he changes topics and/or casts insults at the skeptics. He has been kicked off of several message boards due to this behavior.
