I suspect there were a bunch of people put away for life who were potential Zodiac-type killers. But now that you can't keep people longer than ninety days people like that are getting out. Until 1969 people could be committed for life to a mental hospital on pretty flimsy grounds. There was this drastic change where it became difficult to committ someone. You had to have concrete evidence of either suicidal acts or an act of violence toward others.
The following statements are probably the most important in this Zodiac blog site. This is for my Zodiac fans and Ricardo and John L. In the 1991 movie "Silence of the Lambs" there is a statement given by Hannible Lecter on how to catch a serial killer. He quotes the Roman Senator Marcus Aurelius from 2000 years ago. Anthony Hopkins tells Jodie Foster "simplicity . Of each particular thing ask what is it in itself? What is its nature ? What Does the Zodiac do? What needs does he serve by killing? He covets. That is his nature. How do we begin to covet? We begin to covet by what we see every day." Hopkins did not use the word Zodiac but the same dynamics apply in the Zodiac case in the present day . These statements are also for Dr. G in Vallejo, Ca. If we know where the Zodiac lives and where he goes every day is should prove invaluable in catching him if he's still alive. Even if he isn't it should help bringing closure to the case. It is extremely important to use these ideas.
