I just watched the movie Zodiac (with Jake Gylenhall). It really freaked me out. I can't believe all these people spent so long trying to find the killer and still do not have 100% proof who did it. Do you think he's still out there (even though he would be pretty old)?

The Zodiac Killer is probably dead. He didn't know his limitations.

No. This was a strange case, because the last murder was in 1970 and there were letters proved to have been from the real killer in the mid 70s, but no more murders. Some people theorise taht he may have killed others that were not linked to him, but he proved to be a publicity seeker, and although in the 70s he claimed to have killed many more, he never gave any details, whereas with his confirmed kills he revelled in reporting the details. So the mystery is why did he stop killing? He was obviously still psychotic, as his 70s threat letters indicate. Maybe he did some jail time, or maybe he was scared off by his near capture on the night of the last murder. he was seen by a patrolman responding to the call, but he wasn't stopped. It's a really strange acse, but the BTK case shows that these killers can choose to stop killing: Raeder didn't kill anyone after 1990, despite his psychosis remaining. Maybe this killer was the same: He decided killing was too risky and decided to rely on his memories of the slayings to get off. Who knows?

He was never caught. The SF police are pretty certain he's dead. They think this because it would be pretty strange for a killer to just stop. Serial killers tend to play games with the cops to prove they're smarter than the police, and Zodiac killings have stopped.
There is a lot of killers who have never been identified or caught.

No, the Zodiac killer was NEVER caught. Theory is that he may have died or is in jail on some other crime.

If he has'nt died already then he probably still is out there.
SO sad that the he was never catched.
It always freaks me out to think that there are people like that out there,

No, he was never caught. I figured he probally died or went to prison for some other crime. But, most likely he died.
