Zodiac Killer Part 2 Presidio Heights Murder. On October 11, 1969, only two weeks after his last murder, the Zodiac entered a taxi driven by Paul Stine at around 9:30. The Zodiac requested to be taken to Washington and Maple Street in Presidio Heights, but the driver drove one block past the destination for an unknown reason. Zodiac waited for the car to come to a halt when he suddenly grabbed Paul’s collar and shot him in the skull point blank. The Zodiac exited the vehicle from the backseat and re-entered the passenger seat, tore off a piece of Paul’s clothing and drove off. Two teenagers across the street saw the cab from their second floor window and called the police. The only problem was that they mistakenly described the Zodiac as a black male.

After she merged back onto the freeway and drove for a few seconds, her whole rear tire spun off, she tried to pull over once again where the same man came to fix it. The man then offered to take her to the nearest gas station, eventually agreeing to it. However, he passed by multiple gas stations. He took her to a deserted road before breaking the silence and saying ‘I’m gonna throw your baby out the window.’ Kathleen was terrified, and her only option was to jump out of the car with her baby and hide her baby away. She had luckily dropped at a ditch, and the Zodiac failed to find her there, as she presumably ran away far enough to get out of sight. She then saw another female driver come by a few minutes later and went with her. She provided a much more accurate description of the Zodiac, but still in match with Michael’s sketch. The Zodiac then set fire to the car to destroy any evidence. On April 19th, 1970 the Zodiac wrote yet another letter; this one including his name in a cipher. The Zodiac Killer had sent multiple letters after April 1970, but it
I would like to try and discuss theories and ideas about the Zodiac Killer (1966-1978, 1966 is when the killings started and his letters sent, 1978 was when his letters stopped but the killings unsure about if they stopped). What I have found out is that he killed about 37 or 40 people (he claims to have killed). The Zodiac sent letters to the chief of the SFPD or the News, threatening to kill someone or many people. The Zodiac wrote on some of his letters of how he killed some of his past victims, it explained what he used to kill his victims, to how he used his tools. Some of the letters the Zodiac sent were in ciphers or encrypted; one letter was thought to uncover the name of the Zodiac, but the letter was never cracked. Moving to his victims.
Throughout history, there have been more cases of unsolved crime than can be counted. Over time, however, the advancement of science made these cases far fewer. Through forensics; a type of science which revolves around the solving of crimes, there has been an increase in undeniable evidence throughout the world.

Regulations have administrated human demeanor for hundreds of centuries, and in present-day, criminal laws are to standardize and occasionally preserve social order. By allocating which conducts are prohibited, they present comprehensible standards of actions, cautioning society about which actions will be or will not be held accountable for, depending on the degree of severity; it is also figurative in conveying a statement that the public objects to these particular deeds. The earliest identified account of written decrees dates back to the period of the Babylonian King Hammurabi, or what we now know today as Hammurabi’s Code, which instituted high principles of an individual’s actions and severe penalties to violators, inflicting consequences equivalent to that of their crimes. An additional early structure of written laws was the renowned Mosaic Law, like the Hammurabi’s Code, based on the rule of “an eye for an eye” (Realities and Challenges 99). The general public in the United States are directed by a great quantity of regulations from an array of foundations such as the federal, state, and local administrative institutes that concern everything from acquiring a license to drive to crime against person. Although the organization of laws in the U.S. is extensive, complex, and varied, it can, in fact, be more comprehensive when sorting American laws into two general groups: civil law and criminal law.

Imagine if you lived in a city with a killer and no one knew him and they still haven’t caught him. You wouldn’t have any idea where a safe place in town would be. Would you continue with Ur every day activities? Would you be safe taking out urn trash to the curb? What about running to the store? Do you think urn life is worth that carton of milk u gone to the gas station to buy? Would you even feel safe at all knowing there is a killer he could be you’re next door neighbored. It could even be the mail man anybody could be the killer you just have no idea everyday u take risks that everyone takes for granted. One day something bad will happen to someone who is a good person and they won’t take all the warning signs and reports seriously. So they will walk straight into their own demise and become another victim of some crime. Would you like to be gutted or mutilated or anything that is very painful and just down right wrong. No one deserves these things but there is always some one out there at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Forensic science is the investigation of all of the available evidence and information that is gathered from a crime scene, and how it can be used to uncover mysteries.

This information is then used by the police and prosecutors to bring a criminal to justice. This paper tells the story of Ted Bundy, a serial killer, whose case was solved with the help of forensic science.
