What We Can Learn From The Zodiac’s Letters
One interesting facet of the Zodiac Killer case is the tension between the known and the unknown. For example, the Zodiac Killer’s identity remains a mystery. However, although we know almost nothing about the Zodiac, his letters provide insight into his state of mind. He reveals his motivations, his beliefs, and – perhaps unintentionally – provides a glimpse into his character.
Did The Zodiac Killer Want To Be Celebrated?
One might draw several conclusions about the Zodiac’s disposition from his letters – such as the fact that he believed himself to be clever, that he desired attention beyond what he could accomplish by remaining totally anonymous, etc. We could perhaps even conclude, based on his letters, that the Zodiac wanted to be celebrated.
The Zodiac’s Button Letters
In a few of his letters, the Zodiac fixates on the idea of the public beginning to wear Zodiac-themed buttons. In the April 28, 1970 Dragon Card, the Zodiac seems to have been inspired by buttons he has seen being worn in public – such as buttons with a peace symbol, buttons supporting black power, or buttons making negative remarks about Melvin. He specifies that he doesn’t want to see “nasty” Zodiac buttons, like the negative Melvin buttons. In his next letter, he repeats his desire to see people wear “nice [Zodiac] buttons.” In the following letter, he relents that if people will “not wear some nice [Zodaic] buttons,” he would like for them to wear “some nasty [Zodiac] buttons[, o]r any type of [Zodiac] buttons.”
The Zodiac’s emphasis on wanting to see “nice” Zodiac-themed buttons makes it seem as though he wanted to feel in some way supported. The comparison to peace-themed buttons and black power-themed buttons – both representing causes that people would have felt strongly about – also suggests that he wanted to be supported or celebrated.
