Over 50 years after the murders of the unidentified Zodiac Killer, a team of codebreakers have cracked a mysterious cipher sent to a newspaper by the serial killer. An Australian man, mathematician Sam Blake, was part of the volunteer team who solved the note.
The Zodiac Killer - who was never caught - shot or stabbed seven people in the San Francisco Bay Area over the course of a year between 1968 and 1969, killing all but two of them.
During his murderous spree, he sent a series of terrifying letters to the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, claiming responsibility for the mysterious murders.
Some of the notes were in code, including a particularly complex missive with 340 characters that became known as the 340 cipher.
