	This is the Zodiac Speaking...
		Between 1966 and 1969, at least five people were murdered in California by an unknown killer who called himself "The Zodiac." During this time and well into the early 1970s, he sent dozens of letters, codes, and diagrams to area newspapers detailing his crimes, taunting the police, threatening mayhem, and claiming to identify himself.
		Because these letters were usually riddled with misspellings and bad grammar, the killer was initially believed to be a discretionary illiterate, with little education beyond popular films and novels, but some believe that his prolific writings reveal a working knowledge of chemistry, geometry, and literature that points toward higher education.
		Because each major source for Zodiac information comes with its own suspect and attendant interpretation of details, none are truly complete.
