FX’s documentary series The Most Dangerous Animal of All gives us another name on the Zodiac Killer suspect list: Earl Van Best Jr. Could he be the one we’ve been searching for all along?
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Zodiac Killer was confirmed to have killed five people, but it’s believed that he killed upwards of 30. During the time, the Zodiac Killer also started taunting the San Francisco Police Department and
with hidden messages inside of them. The killer claimed that if they could be decoded, his identity would be revealed., written by Van Best Jr.’s biological son Gary L. Stewart, attempts to reveal that identity by concluding. After being abandoned and adopted as a baby, Stewart was contacted by his biological mother as an adult, and following that decided to search out his father. That led him to identify Van Best Jr. as his dad... and that led him to the Zodiac Killer, or so he says.
As he learned about his father, who passed away in Mexico in 1994, Stewart uncovered a lot of startling connections between Van Best Jr. and the Zodiac Killer. In his book, which he wrote journalist Susan Mustafa, Stewart stacks up the supposed evidence that his father really was the killer. While some of his points are pretty convincing, unfortunately, none of his discoveries have been proven to be 100 percent fact.
But, there are still weird coincidences between the Zodiac Killer and Van Best Jr., like an alleged Zodiac killing that is said to have happened right outside where Van Best Jr. was living at the time. He frequently made trips to Mexico and one Zodiac survivor said that the assailant mentioned going to Mexico. And supposedly, Van Best Jr. had a scar on his finger that appeared to matching the Zodiac Killer's.
