The Zodiac Killer Cover-Up
Author: Lyndon E. Lafferty
Publisher: MANDAMUS
ISBN: 0982936303
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
The true identity of the psychotic ZODIAC killer has been known by the Mandamus Seven (group of retired law enforcement officers, federal agents, a minister, and a District Attorney) since March 15, 1971. This true story is now being told for the very first time. Official corruption and political intervention forced the investigation into a top secret, covert status, giving the insane ZODIAC killer immunity and a license to kill. His motive -- adultery! Mind and body ravaged by years of severe alcoholism, his blood-lusting revenge turned him into the most shocking and vicious killer in our 20th century. Through his tauntings of the police, his codes, ciphers, and letters, he was on a mission to redeem his shattered ego, to prove that he was better, smarter, and more clever than all the judges and police put together. With lordly arrogance and jealousy and with the assistance of the police, he continued his killing spree until he claimed a total of 37 victims. Lips sealed by secret oaths and federal obstructions of justice, the investigation was further impeded by personal associations with the suspect and his tenacious, intrepid wife, placing family members in imminent danger. The evidence is overwhelming and given the totality of the facts, it is the author's opinion that there is no jury in the world that would not find the suspect guilty of being the criminal genius, ZODIAC.

The Zodiac Killer

Pages : 38
Book Description
The Zodiac Killer remains one of the most infamous and elusive criminals in American history, a figure who cast a shadow of fear over Northern California in the late 1960s. This unidentified serial killer left a trail of violence and mystery, baffling law enforcement and becoming a notorious fixture in popular culture. To this day, the Zodiac's true identity remains unknown, fueling endless speculation, theories, and attempts by amateur sleuths to solve the mystery. Between December 1968 and October 1969, the Zodiac Killer murdered five people across the San Francisco Bay Area, targeting victims in a range of environments—from rural settings to suburban neighborhoods and the heart of San Francisco itself. His known attacks occurred in Benicia, Vallejo, unincorporated Napa County, and San Francisco, where he preyed primarily on young couples, with the exception of a lone male cab driver. Miraculously, two of his intended victims survived, providing law enforcement with chilling first-hand accounts of the attacks. Despite the known body count of five, the Zodiac claimed responsibility for the deaths of 37 people, and over the years, investigators have linked him to several additional cold cases, some stretching as far as Southern California and even beyond the state's borders.

Pages : 275
Book Description
The New York Times–bestselling author “brings us behind the scenes of the toughest case the NYPD has faced in 20 years” (Dan Mahoney, USA Today–bestselling author). He slipped like a sinister shadow in the night, stalking, then savagely attacking. Most of his unsuspecting targets were shot at close range and one woman was stabbed over one hundred times. After dispatching his victims, police allege he left their bloodstained bodies and crept back to the neatly kept room in his mother’s apartment. The taunting, bizarre letters alleged killer Heriberto Seda sent to the police and the New York Post were full of strange symbols and mysterious references to the Zodiac. For six terror-filled years, the Zodiac killer ruled the night, claiming nine victims in his homicidal rage. One of the biggest manhunts in New York City’s history was unleashed . . . and still the body count rose. Police claim his lethal fury finally exploded one summer afternoon. After shooting his own sister, he held her boyfriend hostage and kept scores of heavily armed police pinned down in a ferocious firefight that finally ended with his surrender. But it was only when an alert detective recognized a symbol drawn on Seda’s confession as similar to the personal signature used by the Zodiac Killer in his letters, that investigators concluded that the madman they had arrested was in fact the notorious Zodiac Killer. Author Kieran Crowley, an award-winning New York Post reporter who covered the case from the first grisly shooting and cracked the psychopath’s secret code, reveals the exclusive inside story and finally solves the biggest remaining mystery of the case.
