Louis Meyers: Evidence He Was the Zodiac Killer
The photo on the left is Louis Meyers. The drawing on the right is a police sketch of the Zodiac Killer.
The Zodiac Killer is responsible for 5 unsolved murders in the San Francisco area committed between 1968 and 1969. The Zodiac Killer taunted police in letters to newspapers and claimed to have killed as many as 37 people. The Zodiac Killer was never caught.
Louis Meyers died in 2002, but before he died Meyers confessed to his best friend, Randy Kenney, that he (Meyers) was the Zodiac Killer. Meyers claimed that he picked the victims (usually couples in lovers lane or secluded spots) because his girlfriend broke up with him.
Evidence supporting Meyers claim he was the Zodiac Killer…
- In 1976 Meyers told another friend, Bob Robitaille, that he (Meyers) was the Zodiac Killer but Robitalle didn’t believe him.
- Meyers lived in the area of the Zodiac killings.
- Meyers attended two schools that were also attended by two of the Zodiac’s victims.
- Meyers also worked at the same restaurant as another of the Zodiac’s victims.
- Meyers worked at military surplus store. A military boot print was left at one of the Zodiac’s crime scenes.
- Meyers was stationed overseas in the military from 1971 to 1973. Authorities received no letters from the Zodiac Killer during this time period.
All of these facts are circumstantial, but authorities have now added Louis Meyers to the list of Zodiac Killer suspects.

I personally believe him. Nobody can produce so many circumstancial evidence at once. Most important of all he had motive. He was a teenage loser who wanted attention. I was in his shoes once. I feel him.
The Zodiac case is one where there are a surprisingly large number of candidates for the killings because they were so random. I do agree with you that he does have a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing his way.
His age is a worry.
Meyers seemed to be a person without overweight – but the guy with the zodiac costume was quite stubby as it was told by the victim in Sept 1969

Thanks for the comment. I hope someday we learn for sure who the killer was!
His age matches perfectly. The first victims were teenagers on December 20. Dec 20 is within just a few days of school getting out for Christmas break. If he was 17 and heart broken/angry christmas probably would not make him happy. The next murder was during summer break.
Very true!
Interesting enough that Louis Myers misspelled paradise (paradice). It’s notable that he was in airborne 101st decvsion while Robert R Allardice was in command of the 101st, and they had a saying that (sometimes you just have to roll the dice.) The word para by itself is an abreviation for paratrooper, and it also means leader.( That can easily be translated into slave owner in a demented pissed off persons mind.) So (paradice) in Louis Myers mind is a play on words and the name of the 101st leader involved with his Vietnam experience.
That’s interesting and I’ve never heard that before. Thanks for sharing.
