"I like killing people because it is so much fun."

The Zodiac Killer was an enigmatic spree killer who was active in California in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Background
Nothing definitive is known about the Zodiac's background. The only theories that exist, as profiled by John Douglas and other FBI agents, are that the killer may have a Naval background, and that--due to his uncommon grammar and spelling--may possibly be British.

Letters
The Zodiac is known to have sent many cryptographic and puzzling letters to not only the San Francisco Police Department, but the press as well. In these letters, the Zodiac made his intentions and wishes known. In some, he would include odd drawings, mosaics of photos, and astrological charts. One letter includes a cipher which the police could use to discover his identity. They were unsuccessful in accurately translating it. Below are some of the letters The Zodiac sent to the SFPD and the local newspapers.
