"Fingerprint comparisons, palm print comparisons, handwriting comparisons, and DNA comparisons appear to exonerate Allen, and more than three decades of investigation by police, the media and amateur sleuths failed to produce any credible evidence to link the so-called "prime suspect" to the Zodiac crimes."
There is absolutely not ONE SHRED of physical evidence implicating Allen. He was one of the most investigated suspects in US history, by many different law enforcement agencies and not one shred of evidence pointed to him. In fact, it all pointed away from him, with the exception of a few peoples "personal opinion" it was him.
This story has already been debunked. Its not true, nor has it ever been. Arthur Allen WAS a good, solid suspect. However, after a lot of investigation, it has been PROVEN Allen is not the killer.
Before people start throwing around BS. They should really take some time and look into the facts. Not speculation.
Exactly what I've heard. The perpetrator is most likely dead or, if alive, very old. Still, it would provide some real "closure" if they could identify who it was/is.
Several years ago I read about references to a "Mr. X" (his name was never released as he was supposedly a well known Bay Area business tycoon). Has anything concrete ever been established linking him to the killings?
One of the 'clues' given about "Mr. X" is that he lived in Presido Heights in 1969 very close to where Paul Stine (the last Zodiac victim) was killed.

Another California weirdo: the Zodiac killer. They say that, with today's advanced technology and DNA, they would have had him.
There was that deceased janitor in Contra Costa County that was cleared off the list when certain things didn't link up but was, for a long time, considered to be the Zodiac. There is nobody else that has been identified as the probable Zodiac that has since died.
What's your theory? I only have two:
1) He became older and figured he'd get closer to getting caught, and he ducked out of sight, so he's an old man - either dead, or alive and feeble.
2) He was truly sick and killed himself - I wonder if they rummaged through subsequent suicides and tried to match any to the Zodiac.
Yes, I remember the fear he instilled. However, there is no DNA match to anybody they've fingered. I think he's dead. Still, knowing who he is, and what his current "status" is, would provide closure.
i know that the janitor you speak of, arthur lee allen, was fond of letting other folks lick his envelopes for him, and no that is not a euphemism for something! allen was clever, very, very clever. he was a perpetual student with a deep interest and sometime career in chemistry. i think he was smart enough to consider what could be found in years to come in the saliva left on the flap of an envelope. i think he prepared for that.
the evidence against him is overwhelming. i wouldn't want to make the same mistake that the SFPD did, which was to discount him due to the fingerprints found on the cab not matching or the handwriting. he wrote with both hands, and well.
the zodiac is one of the creepiest cases ever. its like jack the ripper, with a gun and some stamps.
