How do you think Kaczynski knew about all these people involved in various industries and so on and so forth? He read about them in the libraries. That’s all he ever did was hang around and read. The Zodiac letters talk about all the times he was denied a date by a girl. And the way he worded the letter, "Bates had to die." Using the last name like that is how teachers talk about their students because they use their last names. Ted was a college professor. That’s the way they refer to people in college circles in the 1960s.

Ted was most likely taking acid pills while he killed all these people. Because it makes them go schizophrenic.

Ted being schizophrenic at the time of the murders, and the letter writing, makes it easier to buy him as Zodiac.

Yes, it certainly does. I’m starting to smell blood in the water here. We are on to something for sure.

Ted was mentally ill, and while I agree with most of what Holmes said here, he did not take drugs. At least he did not take drugs knowingly and willingly. He didn’t need drugs to give him the ability to kill.

As he described it, his "acute sexual starvation", being driven mad by the sound of couples on campus having sex in his building and his rejection of suicide in favor of "really killing everyone he hates" were enough to enable him to do the acts.

what’s the source for tedk in that library on that date?

Pennsylvania State Police. A witness (or witnesses, I don’t know for certain it was one or two), picked him out of a photo lineup.

Pretty soon it’s going be 2020. It took 50 years to prove Albert DeSalvo was the Boston strangler. law enforcement knew he was the strangler in 1964. I know it’s very noble to try to find clues on suspects that seemed interesting to us. The trouble is this will get us nowhere. None of these suspects will ever be exhumed. No judge will ever sign off on anything of that sort. The only real suspect we have a chance of proving is the culprit, is Theodore Kaczynski.

I don’t follow…. DeSalvo committed his murders between 1962-64, died in 1973, and was exhumed in 2013 when his DNA was matched. If/when LE closes in on a probable Z suspect, even if it’s one of the guys who died decades ago, why couldn’t the same type of scenario play out? And if the suspect has been cremated, getting a voluntary DNA sample from a couple close relatives could provide the verification.

Unfortunately that is not the case. The medical examiner in Boston Massachusetts preserved in a freezer the DNA evidence found at the last strangler murder scene in Lawrence Massachusetts. The Boston police force was unsuccessful getting DNA from the strangler’s brother in 2012-2013. They were able to capture saliva from close relative of the killer on a water bottle that was discarded in the trash barrel at a construction site the stranglers nephew worked on.

And that proved nothing. It merely gave the authorities the court order they needed to exhume the body of the strangler. DNA from the strangler was matched against DNA from the crime scene in Lawrence Massachusetts.

Law enforcement can never compare any DNA to a person who has been cremated. So even if the DNA matches the suspect’s relatives, that would prove nothing. It would indicate a whole lot. But nothing that can be used as evidence. So they would never release these findings to the public.
