At least the Zodiac killer is recent enough for uncovering their identity to feel sort of feasible. That said, I personally find the idea of it being Ted Cruz so amusing that I see little reason to amend my head-canon, regardless of evidence presented.
I believe that would require time travel.

The guy REALLY looks like the police sketches too. Almost perfectly the same, except for maybe a slight difference in nose width.
Does anyone else have issues with identifying and describing facial features. I have no problems recognizing people, but there’s no way I can verbalize them on a specific features basis. What kind of disorder do I have?
But it can also be trained. See, e.g., Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.

#134Even if we've heard similar announcements before.
Definitely good to have closure.
Closure not just for the family.
Really, for everyone who has followed this.
Unmasked soon, I hope, and finally...
Zodiac Killer will be revealed.

That's cool and all, but I personally enjoy it because of Ted's personality specifically, not his specific political affiliation. And also who cares? It's clearly a joke, one that happens to appeal to my particular sense of humor. There are oodles of topics that provide plenty of political ammunition, but anybody who takes this one seriously is an idiot.
Sorry, but I just recently watched a crowd of angry trolls sell memes and Internet in-jokes as facts to droves of angry Facebook users, and then they combined forces to elect a fascist. I no longer believe this kind of crap is inconsequential.

Perhaps the artists are trained to ask questions of witnesses that reveal details you wouldn't be able to give up unprompted?

#137I'll need some more evidence to believe it. They're strongly citing the "scars" on his forehead which, to my eye, look a lot like the wrinkles on anyone's forehead.
If you look closely, different people don't tend to have matching forehead wrinkles.

Have a search for "aphantasia" and see if your experience matches.

#139Seriously, just read this:
https://zodiackiller.fandom.com/wiki/Arthur_Leigh_Allen#Incr...
Most importantly of the list, a guy he shot who lived picked him out of a set of photos and said he was certain that was the man who shot him.
Like....how can you go through that list and come to any other conclusion? It seems very clear that it was just procedural error by the police that let him get away with it back then. When investigators contacted him anew in 1992, he suddenly died of heart failure before they could interview him.
