Tonight marks the 55th anniversary of the Zodiac's brutal murder of Darlene Ferrin and the attempted murder of Michael Mageau. In this video's thumbnail, the car to the right of Darlene in this picture is the same brown Corvair that she would later be murdered in.

An added bit of trivia: When Zodiac entered the phone booth, he didn't directly call the Vallejo PD, he pressed 0 for the operator and the call was picked up by PT&T employee Mrs. Johnson. Whatever similar words Zodiac used was so disturbing that her supervisor Betty Main had a trace put on it before patching the call through to Nancy Slover. However, because of PT&T's confidentiality laws, neither employee was allowed to talk to Police or anyone about the conversation they had.

You know, I’m all for fucking with Ted Cruz by calling him the Zodiac Killer, especially if it ends up hurting his chances in this election, ‘cause he kind of sucks. 

But I am a little bit concerned about the way it has become a complete and utter joke, as the Zodiac Killer is a very real thing, and has never been found. And not all of his victims died. Two of them lived. Two actual real life human beings out there, who are still alive today.

Two of his victims survived their attacks, and at least one of those two has not been doing well ever since then, as he was stabbed in the head and given brain damage, and completely spiraled downward after that. He’s been in and out of jail since then due to alcoholism and drug use that started due to the attack. 

I bet he doesn’t think this is funny at all. 

It feels wrong using someone’s assault as a meme.
