The Zodiac Killer

Most people are usually quiet when their actions are [with|into|against|for|of] the law, but "Zodiac" wasn't. From 1968 to 1969, he terrorised San Francisco with his murders. Not only did he kill people, but he also taunted the police and the local newspaper with his coded letters. He claimed to be responsible [with|into|against |for|of] the murders of 37 people. Officially, however, he was charged [with |into |against |for |of] just five murders.

His terror began when Betty Lou Jensen, 16, and David Arthur Faraday, 17, were killed. Six months later, a couple who had parked their car four miles from that crime scene was also murdered, one injured and one killed. The survivor, Michael Mageau, was able to provide a description of the killer. It was the first time the police came so close to solving Zodiac's cases but in the end they failed to do it.

The Zodiac Killer left frustrating evidence for the police — coded letters, anonymous phone calls, the crossed-circle written on the victims' cars — but the police never found him. Perhaps, all these clues were given to trick police [with|into|against|for|of] the false trail.
