Very good article about a movie in production about the Zodiac killer of Northern California, and the pernicious effects of his reign of terror.
Some questions I have, opinions are welcome:
1) Do you think he evaded capture due to the historically permissive nature of San Francisco? In that people were less likely to suspect a solitary male of being up to no good....versus the public response to the Son of Sam killer in Brooklyn, New York (hysteria, vigilance)? (This is not a homophobic statement. Vagrancy is tolerated in SF- see Willie Brown's famous comment about painting the homeless yellow and using them as speed bumps.)
2) Do you think he had accomplices?
3) If he is still alive, do you think he will pull a Dennis Rader (BTK Killer) -like act and bumble into getting apprehended? It seems the Zodiac revelled in public attention and inducing fear.
