wasn't there a whole thing about how one of the suspects kept trying to get his friends to call him zodiac as a cool lil nickname

e: just googled and this was an entirely different suspect. think we should probably execute anyone giving themselves a nickname either way

I don't get serial killers. There is no human story or motivation; they're just nuts. Normal rational people who are driven to murder are far more interesting IMO.

Prominent serial killers are being found because family members are submitting their DNA for lineage history and lo and behold, they’re popping up on police databases for unsolved crimes dating back decades. Golden state killer, Paris police killer, etc. Dig up the corpse and get that man’s jizz pronto.

You need a reason to dig up a corpse and collect jizz?

Eh if you want street cred go with someone who actually succeeded in their murders, like the sub goon or caro :shrug:

The sub goon built the sub but was not the murderer (a common mistake). Caro, however, did succeed in almost getting himself murdered. God bless Caro, I wonder how much he suffers from PTSD these days.

IIRC Caro also larped as a medic with zero training in a warzone and so probably got people killed through incompetence.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I think he can hear you, Ray.
These dudes are literally just angling for a reality show. TV friendly name, only going after high profile 'unsolvable' cases (they've already attempted to find DB Cooper and Jimmy Hoffa), it's how these things get done. In fact one of them has confirmed that A&E has contacted them about doing a show.

What is weird is that one of the more compelling (potential) pieces of evidence they're claiming hasn't really been reported on: mainly that Gary knew Paul Stine (the murdered cab driver) and had a business dealing that went wrong. That makes things a little more curious but the rest of what they're pushing is dubious at best, not least their hilarious cryptography attempt.

Who is sub goon? Someone connected to peter madsen or is this about another unrelated submarine murder?

Seems to me that the various communities of weirdos that have formed around trying to solve cases like this are unlikely to actually accept a final explanation simply due to the fact that they then wouldn't have anything to do anymore

More than half of all murders in the US go unsolved, I don't think theres a lack of cases to investigate lol
