A team of amateur sleuths that previously claimed to have identified the infamous Zodiac Killer has now made further allegations that the FBI “ secretly listed ” the suspect since 2016 .

In anew development , the group arrogate that the FBI ’s lab in Virginia has a “ fond DNA ” sampling of Poste and he had been “ secretly listed ” as a defendant on their computers since 2016 . Despite this , it come out that authorities did n’t front into him enough when he was alive .
“ If this FBI backsheesh is genuine , why has n’t HQ had the decency to apprize the alleged 13 victim families ? ” Case Breakers said .
The information comes from an anonymous whistleblower who purports to be a “ senior FBI factor ” .
" I stay in physical contact with several FBI agents who are my friends from my investigation days . While speaking with one of them , I refer Zodiac and specifically Gary Francis Pot ( GFP ) . Without prompting the FBI agent , they see up GFP and told me he was listed as the FBI suspect . Then they told me they had a partial DNA of the Zodiac , ” the whistle-blower pronounce in astatement .

The FBI still maintains that the case of the Zodiac Killer is unresolved . Conversely , the whistle blower argues that the truth is out there , but the case has been hampered by a stream of cover - ups and corruption .
“ Like cops , Union federal agent are divvy up with huge caseloads , constant training , left rules , and bureaucracy , ” add up the whistleblower .
“ But when someone wear upon a badge or uniform works with others to stave off or enshroud stuff , sidestep unmanageable subroutine , or lie about evidence , they ’re hurting our military volunteer and the yard of family waiting for answers . "
According to Case Breakers , Poste gift away his gas pedal collection before he died and they have now gather most of it , along with deoxyribonucleic acid from a hiking matte once owned by Poste .
