- Even on his days off from working overnights for the Chicago police, John Lewison usually stayed up through the night and slept during the day.
It was often early in the morning, after having his fill of CNN, that he turned to a hobby of sorts. Sprawled on a couch in his North Side home in a T-shirt and sweatpants, Lewison tried to unravel a murder mystery that has mystified law enforcement and crime buffs for decades: the identity of the Zodiac killer, who is believed responsible for at least five homicides that terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960s.
Lewison, who has risen to lieutenant in nearly 25 years with the department, thinks he’s come up with a solution to one of a series of coded messages the serial killer sent along with taunting letters to the news media. The cryptograms, composed of alphabetic, mathematical and astrological symbols, are thought likely to contain vital information about the suspect.
We thought Clint Eastwood solved this one back in the day?
It's an interesting article and definitely an interesting hobby of sorts. It's certainly a welcome change of pace from the stuff one usually sees in the media lately and it would be fun to see the Chicago Police solve a California based serial killing.
