Catching the Zodiac Killer by Cracking the Code

Between 1968 and 1973 the Zodiac killer terrorized the Bay Area with unspeakable crimes. Sunday Nat Geo showcases the people that cracked his code and figured a way to solve these crimes.

This isn't the only case that we dive in to. Watch the preview below to see a clip before the show premieres on Sunday at 8p e/p.

Let us know what you think or of possible codes that we should crack!

is the killer dead or not

Too bad that the most of the part of the show about the Enigma machine does not talk at all about people who really cracked it:
A group of talented Polish mathematicians in the 30s.

The authors of the program should do their homework in a correct way. This is too bad because most of the show was actually quite interesting.

What I found interesting was that part of the Morse code used in the show said "Hello Tony." After looking into the credits for the show, I found the editor's name was Tony. Coincidence? I think not!

Not sure if the above comments refer to the Zodiac Killer cipher. I have been interested in the Zodiac Killer case since I heard about it the first time. The only serious interpretation of the said 408 character cipher that I have seen so far is on a new website. Here is the hyperlink: Zodiologists.com
