One day before the button letter on June 25th 1970, a taxi driver Larry Hargis was shot and killed, and found in a field.
A fare had requested the taxi and Larry Hargis’ last words to the dispatcher said the customer wanted to travel from 11th and C Streets in downtown San Diego to the Spring Valley area. He was found near Galopago Street, Spring Valley.
The taxi was found abandoned on 1200 block of 16th Street in downtown San Diego.
The next day a letter arrived at the San Francisco Chronicle on June 26th 1970 stating, ‘I promiced to punish them if they did not comply, by anilating a full school Buss. But now school is out for the summer, so I punished them in another way. I shot a man in a parked car with a .38’.
The murder closely attached with this letter was theorized to be police officer Sgt Richard P. Radetich (25), it is believed by many that the Zodiac was simply laying claim to this crime although he never committed it.
This offers another possibility . Unlikely I know but worth a look.

True…
The letter however was sent from San Francisco, not from San Diego. As the letter should take some time (guess longer than nowadays), I wouldn’t say it’s that easy to drive 500 miles and get a letter arriving the next day..but still possible.
Better guess would probably be Radetich, one week earlier, who in fact was shot with a .38 (as claimed by Z). Couldn’t find the caliber Larry Hargis was shot with, though.
