I suspect Mitt Romney, he admitted to doing the exact thing the zodiac killer did. He wore a fake police uniform and had a police light and admitted in a recorded interview that he had done it for laughs back in the 1960s. A simple DNA test can say yes or no.

There is a prime website for this topic and this guy is not listed as a main suspect. That doesn't mean it isn't him, but the people on the website who follow this religiously are unimpressed. This link is to the suspects page, but that includes a link to the discussion forum about Poste:

Honestly, there's more evidence that DeAngelo was Zodiac than this guy.

He was born in 1970. This is so irresponsible to start claiming somebody who clearly wasn’t even born. How do people get so confused?

is that people never say he couldn't possibly be a serial killer, he just can't be this particular one.

But NOT in San Francisco; some really remote place instead.

Zodiac appears to have just lived out his life after totally ruining other peoples' lives.

This makes me smile http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/news/a53952/ted-cruz-zodiac-killer-tshirts-abortion/



The 2016 election cycle has already seen its share of weird conspiracy theories, but the craziest one by far is that GOP presidential candidate and Texas senator Ted Cruz is the infamous Zodiac killer who terrorized Northern California in the 1960s and 1970s with a spree of still-unsolved murders. The Daily Dot traces the origins of the theory, which recently spread through Twitter with hashtag #ZodiacTed, back to 2013. Now two Texas men have capitalized on this bizarre meme by selling "Ted Cruz Was the Zodiac Killer" shirts online, and they're donating the profits to an organization that helps fund abortions.

Jezebel reports that the shirt was created by friends Tim Faust and Rory Blank, who do not actually believe Cruz is the Zodiac killer, but who wanted to use the meme to show people that Cruz — who is anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage — is scary. "There's no way Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer — the dates don't match up," the site notes, jokingly. "However, there's no way of knowing whether Ted Cruz has sworn with his every waking breath to further the agenda of the Zodiac Killer, whom he may or may not love."

As a true Texas Democrat, I got one of these shirts for each member of my family

and the claimed related case in Riverside. It seems to be a simple matter to do a DNA comparison. I can't believe they haven't done a comparison between the Vallejo (Zodiac) DNA and the Riverside case already. Riverside just says they are not related.
