Still is. He's 76 now. They were never going to let him out. He's very intelligent.

I've reached out to @PlainJaneDoe to get her opinion on Kaye's brain injury. We'll see what she says.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

There are so many suspects with a lot to make them viable suspects. So far, Richard Gaikowski has my vote.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

They were able to get a partial DNA sample of Zodiac from a stamp on of one of his letters. It's too small to identify the Zodiac, but it can be used to rule some people out.

I figured, and I'm not a Banfield fan either, but thought I'd see what others thought.

So this dude would buy a lot of stuff and then never pay for it. He bought a vault on credit and had it installed before the room it was going to be in was built. He never paid for it, and the company that sold it said they'd repossess it. Holmes told them to come and get it, but if they damaged his house at all, he'd sue them for a lot of money.

He sold a lot of real human skeletons, that were victims of his killing, to medical schools. It's odd that nobody wondered how he got so many skeletons to sell.

It seems he never paid anybody for almost anything. He had a lot of money because he scammed insurance companies and people.

Some psychos still do that today.

The lack of forensic techniques made murder harder to identify,

 

[Mel70]

He wasn't. The "Harpe Brothers" are noted to be the first on record.
