According to the group, Air Force veteran Gary Francis Poste has been listed as a suspect in the Zodiac killings since 2016. The group learned this information from \u201ca senior FBI agent.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Case Breakers Claims<\/h3>\n<p>Case Breakers previously identified Poste, who died in 2018, as the Zodiac killer. The group has questioned why the FBI hasn\u2019t notified the victims\u2019 families. Investigators have agreed that seven people were the victims of assaults by the Zodiac killer, five of whom died from their injuries. He is suspected of killing 20 to 28 in total, and the killer himself claimed to have killed 37 in his infamous letters to media outlets and detectives. The Zodiac operated in the San Francisco Bay Area between 1968 and 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Case Breakers claimed that the felon has been secretly listed as the Zodiac \u201csuspect\u201d in Headquarters\u2019 computers since 2016 \u2013 with his \u201cpartial DNA\u201d safely secured at the feds\u2019 Quantico, Virginia lab.<\/p>\n<p>The group found DNA on a hiking mat Poste owned and confirmed the DNA using a living relative. The group has asked the FBI to compare that DNA to hairs found on Cheri Jo Bates, believed by the group to be one of the Zodiac\u2019s victims. Police, however, don\u2019t believe Bates was killed by the Zodiac.<\/p>\n<h3>Zodiac\u2019s Cryptic Message<\/h3>\n<p>More than 50 years after the Zodiac sent a cipher to the San Francisco Chronicle taunting authorities for failing to catch him, three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cold-case-group-claims-fbi-has-zodiac-killer-suspect\/\" title=\"FBI suspect identified by Cold Case Group as 'Zodiac Killer'.\">amateur code breakers believed<\/a> they cracked the cipher. The cryptic message, known as the \u201c340 cipher,\u201d was allegedly solved by Virginia software developer David Oranchak, Belgian computer programmer Jarl Van Eycke, and Australian mathematician Sam Blake. They believe the message contains a misspelling of the word \u201cparadise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TV show reference is to \u201cThe Jim Dunbar Show,\u201d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-sad-politicization-of-late-night-television\/\" title=\"The Sad Politicization Of Late Night Television\">television talk show<\/a> that aired in the San Francisco area. In 1969, a man claiming to be the Zodiac Killer called into Dunbar\u2019s show repeatedly, saying a few words before hanging up each time. The cipher that has been decoded was sent to the Chronicle two weeks after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emails-show-cbs-had-desantis-answers-to-questions-before-segment-aired-ignored-warning-from-democrat\/\" title=\"Emails Show CBS Had DeSantis\u2019 Answers To Questions Before Segment Aired, Ignored Warning From Democrat\">show aired<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The FBI maintains that the case is still unsolved and remains open and active. This is not the first time someone has claimed to know the identity of the Zodiac killer.
