Zodiac Killer found?

Could be. The FBI is investigating. DNA test results could be back “any day now.”

    Astrology is stupid.

  2. B Moe says:

    Is not.

  3. lee says:

    Is so.

  4. marcus says:

    His name was Jack Torrence?
    Wasn’t that the name of the protagonist in “The Shining”?
    Funny, that.

  5. Andrew the Noisy says:

    Wow. I literally don’t know about this. Could be good to unmask the bastard, but I worry it all ends up inconclusive, like so much else.

  6. B Moe says:

    I think Jack Torrents is thor’s real name.

  7. McGehee says:

    Impossible, B Moe — he only shoots blanks.

  8. psycho... says:

    Speaking as someone who happens to know this subject so well that when I’m reading books about the case I internally treat them like MST3K treated Manos

    Fuck no.

    But you don’t need to know anything about Zodiac to know this is some dumb shit.

    Now that the proxy-false-confessing dozens who could say “My daddy was the Black Dahlia Killer!” are too old to want to be on television, the next generation’s coming up.

    Zombie Freud is bemused bored.

  9. Themistocles says:

    Wow that Kris Pickel would make a fantastic Vice President.

  10. Jeff G. says:

    The fact that a hood was found seems a bit too convenient. But if the FBI is taking it seriously, I figured I’d throw it out here.

  11. Barrett Brown says:

    The FBI took John Lennon seriously.

  12. Jeff G. says:

    “Piggies”? “Helter Skelter”?

    I would have put a tail on him, too.

    Yoko was a mole.

  13. mojo says:

    The CBS page doesn’t say where Tarrance was living at the time, but Pollock Pines is up in the foothills past Placerville, kind of a long commute to the Bay Area.

  14. Barrett Brown says:

    Actually, in all seriousness, there was good reason for the feds to at least keep an eye on him, as he had by this point effectively converted millions of young Americans to a brand of “one-world” internationalism that seesawed between healthy respect for others and unhealthy respect for totalitarian regimes. On the other hand, many of the sort of people who objected to him did so for totalitarian reasons themselves, so to hell with the damned “piggies” anyway.

  15. Jeff G. says:

    He wasn’t the walrus, is all I have to say.

  16. lee says:

    Possibly he was the eggman.

  17. Patrick says:

    Yeah, the hood is way too convenient. The reporter seems to offer the fact that he has the idea that Evil Jack killed his mother, and that showing Jack to have been the Zodiac avenges her, somehow enhances his credibility when the exact opposite is true.

  18. McGehee says:

    In fairness, wasn’t “Piggies” one of George Harrison’s tunes?

    As for Pollock Pines, Mojo is right; we’re talking three to five hours to the Bay Area, depending on traffic, and whether there’s fog in the Valley.

  19. Not me him. Best guess anyway . Mwah hahahahahahahah!

  20. The Lost Dog says:

    HA! HA!

    I am the cereal killer.

    Just last week they found a body on the Merrit Parkway with a banana up it’s butt and cheerios in it’s ears!

    I am nothing if not a creative cereal killer.

  21. The Lost Dog says:

    “Possibly he was the eggman.”

    “Ah luuuuv you, eggman!”

  22. The Lost Dog says:

    As an aside, it’s great to come here first thing in the morning and laugh, instead of getting really pissed off before my head is even half filled with blood.

  23. ccoffer says:

    Finally! I’ve been scared shitless these past 30 some odd years.

  24. geoffb says:

    I thought the original cereal killer was Mikey and they gave him Life.

  25. Slartibartfasts says:

    If this were a TV crime, they’d have the DNA analysis done on the spot.

    Stupid reality.

  26. dorkafork says:

    On the other hand, many of the sort of people who objected to him did so for totalitarian reasons themselves, so to hell with the damned “piggies” anyway.

    I look forward to the day when police officers are no longer referred to as “pigs”.

    (One of my favorite movies of the past several years. The 2 disc director’s version is totally worth it.)

  27. McGehee says:

    The “piggies” in the Beatles song were capitalists, not cops. Except the capitalist cops, I guess. Selling donuts in the locker room.

  28. jmflynny says:

    If whack jobs like to keep souveniers of their deeds, then keeping the mask might not be so (comparatively) crazy an idea after all. And, if it is the Zodiac’s mask, I cannot imagine there not being a shitload of splattered blood all over it. Didn’t he stab to death the young woman at the lake and attempt to stab to death the man?

    As for what those images on the roll of film might have been, scary shit and might explain why it was never developed.

    Who knows, it may not be that crazy afterall.

    Or, you know, it could just be a fucking joke.

  29. daniela says:

    i think that it is him and i hope that it is him because this case was never solved and tha family of the people that died need to now that this person is the one..
