Long distance information

Unsolved crimes attract amateur sleuths because there is little evidence to sift through, which is also why the crimes are unsolved. While the known facts that directly relate to the so-called Zodiac killer fill a page, the information that may or may not be germane fills many books. Mark Hewitt has written three. Hunted: The Zodiac Murders (The Zodiac Serial Killer Book 1) is an impressively painstaking tally of eyewitness reports and investigator accounts spritzed with emotional insight and personal projection. In the third volume of his series Hewitt proposes the theory that the Zodiac could be Theodore Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber. And why not? The Zodiac could be Jack the Ripper if humans lived that long. A compelling conspiracy requires many possible angles, like the Kennedy assassination.
