Zodiac’s letters were conglomerate of four cryptograms, of which only one has been interpreted. A single person was subjected as a suspect who was called Arthur Leigh Allen. He was ever served with a search warrant, but police found no convincing proof. These Zodiac signs stopped appearing in the late 70’s and the suspect died in the year 1992. The case is now a day’s inactive.

No. 5 Adolf Eichmann

The “architect of the Holocaust” fled Germany at the end of World War II, slipping through U.S. fingers into Argentina, where he worked in obscurity as a foreman at a Mercedes-Benz factory in Buenos Aires. Nazi hunters made it their business to track down the man who had transported 6 million Jews to their deaths, but it was a blind, half-Jewish refugee from Dachau who finally found him. The daughter of Holocaust survivor Lothar Hermann got to know Eichmann’s eldest son, and Hermann soon worked out who his father was and told the German authorities all he knew. The Germans passed on the news to Israeli intelligence service Mossad, and over the course of a year, its agents tracked down Eichmann and confirmed his identity. On May 11, 1960, Eichmann was coshed, drugged to the gills and snuck into Israel disguised as a particularly sluggish El Al airline steward. The Nazi logistics expert was found guilty in a widely televised trial and was hanged on May 31, 1962. His remains the only civil execution ever carried out in Israel.

Thanks to intelligence tip-offs and the confessions of accomplices, Finally Booth was found to the Virginia farm of Richard H. Garrett, and on April 26 he was shot and killed by Union soldiers who had set the barn he was in on fire. Booth died on the farmhouse porch, defending his actions to the last.
