Anthrax to Zodiac Denise Huddle

In the last part of Chapter 18, we’ll explore some of the Zodiac’s most intriguing communications, and learn about the amazing amateur cryptographers who finally decoded the enigmatic 340 cipher over 50 years after the Zodiac sent it to the media.
In Chapter 19, we’ll examine the main suspects. Was the Zodiac a bizarre man living in a trailer full of dead animals swimming in jars of formaldehyde? Was he a brain-damaged psychiatric patient with a lengthy criminal record? Or was he an ordinary looking man who was questioned on the street by police minutes after the last murder, only to walk away and disappear forever?
Chapter 20 includes my comments, some tips for staying safe on the road, a quiz, some snarky humor, and a list of references and cool sites.

We learn about the shooting of Darlene Ferrin and Mike Mageau at Blue Rock Springs and the knife attack on Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard at Lake Berryessa.
We’ll consider the possibility that the Zodiac was known to Darlene Ferrin and that she recognized his car moments before she was killed. Then, we’ll examine the evidence left behind at the Lake Berryessa crime scene, including the Zodiac’s boot print and the note he left police written on the door of Hartnell’s white Karmann Ghia.

Between December 20, 1968, and October 11, 1969, the killer known as the Zodiac attacked at least seven victims, killing five of them. The Zodiac attacked three couples in remote areas of the northern California county of Napa before killing a taxi driver in the heart of San Francisco just outside the grounds of the Presidio.
Despite at least two surviving victims, numerous eyewitnesses, and one of the longest-running investigations in California history, the killer has never been identified, leaving us to wonder fifty-five years later, “Who was the Zodiac?”
In Chapter 16, we explore the chaotic social revolution that formed the backdrop of the attacks. In Chapter 17, we’ll look at the killings that launched the Zodiac’s reign of terror.

This post contains Chapter 14 and 15 of Anthrax to Zodiac. In Chapter 14,  we'll do a deep dive into the notes Cooper allegedly sent to the media and explore the possibility that some of them contained coded information about his identity. Do the mysterious letters and numbers point to the felonious war hero, Robert Rackstraw? Are they a code that just hasn’t been broken yet? Or are they just gibberish left behind by the hijacker to confuse and torment his pursuers?
Finally, in Chapter 15, we'll wind up with my comments about the case, some tips for flying safe, a Cooper quiz, a dose of snark, and some cool references and sites regarding Cooper and the only unsolved hijacking in US history.

In Chapter 13, of Anthrax to Zodiac, we'll look at some of the most intriguing pieces of evidence in the case including the possible link between the hijacker and a French-language comic book character. 
Then, we'll take a hard look at the tiny particles of exotic metals and alloys recently discovered on the clip-on tie that Cooper left behind that could point to Cooper's place of employment.
Finally, we’ll learn about the sophisticated scientific analysis done on the only Cooper ransom money ever recovered—$5800 found my an eight-and-a-half-year-old second grader during a camping trip—and how the results have change everything we ever thought about Cooper's escape.
