The Zodiac Killer’s Infamous Cipher Has Finally Been Decoded (15 Tweets)

The infamous Zodiac Killer killed five people between October 1968-December 1969, leading the nation on a manhunt after sending coded messages to three newspapers demanding his messages were published or he would kill again.

These zodiac killer letters were cracked by a group of codebreakers (David Oranchak, Sam Blake, and Jarl Van Eyckeused) who used software to uncover the message after 51 years. 

People on Twitter once again were not phased by another shocking news story in 2020 and they had some pretty funny takes on what the letter might say.
