Zodia's Positioningof Victims

The following is from Robert Graysmith's 2007 paperback. "I shall no longer announce to anyone when I committ my murders, they shall look like routine robberies, killings, etc." This was written by the Zodiac. All of Zodiac's victims were young students killed in or around their cars, near bodies of water, and on weekends when the moon was new or full. Sexual molestation was not a motive. The killer used a different weapon each time. In some of the attacks the killer carried a large flashlight. My thoughts kept going to the right side of the car, the passenger side. The only window down at Lake Herman Road was on the right where Betty Lou was sitting. Mageau's window at Blue Rock Springs was down, and Steine's fly window was open on the passenger side. At Lake Herman Road the killer fired a shot in the rear window and fired another bullet in the left rear wheel housing to force the couple to leap from the passenger side. Zodiac was positioning the bodies in a ritual way. Usually lying on their back with their heads pointing away from the cars. Faraday's head pointed toward the east and Paul Stine's toward the north.In the dark how did Zodiac know that Betty Lou was on her right side feet to the west and at Blue Rock Springs that Darlene was wearing paterned slacks? Also that he had shot Mageau in the knee while he was thrashing around. He must have followed the victims earlier in the evening. It's likely because he shot his victims almost immediately after they stopped to park. He must have known the area very well or possibly was a Vallejo resident. Also someone who had access to the coroner's and different police reports.It was almost as if he was positioning them according to points on the zodiac or as if they were hands on the clock documenting what time they were killed. (D. Lathers idea).

I think the Zodiac was actually trying to tell us something by the positioning of the bodies. If we stand back and look at this idea and the bodies we may come upon a message left by the Zodiac.--------D. Lathers
