Has the mystery of the Black Dahlia and the Zodiac Killer, which has puzzled for over half a century, been solved? A private detective claims to have used AI to crack the Zodiac cipher, accusing a WWII military doctor of being the true culprit behind both cases. Relevant physical evidence has been submitted to law enforcement for review.

AI Solves Cases? The Black Dahlia and Zodiac Killer Might Be the Same Person

The two most notorious cold cases in American history, the Black Dahlia murder and the Zodiac Killer, have been adapted into countless movies and books over the decades. They remain mysteries that the public is eager to uncover.

However, a private investigator recently announced that he has used AI technology to decode the Zodiac Killer’s “Z13” cipher, and suggests that these two cross-temporal serial murders were committed by the same person. The key evidence has been submitted and is awaiting final review by forensic and law enforcement agencies.

Black Dahlia, Zodiac Killer? Detective Focuses on WWII Doctor Margolis

According to the Daily Mail, Alex Baber, founder of Cold Case Consultants of America, used an AI program to interpret the “Z13” cipher letter sent by the Zodiac Killer to a newspaper in 1970.

Baber input this puzzle, which contains “My name is” followed by 13 mysterious symbols, into the system, and cross-referenced it with census data and public records from the 1950s.

After filtering approximately 71 million possibilities, AI ultimately identified the suspect: Marvin Margolis, who later changed his name to Marvin Merrill.

Baber’s findings are not unfounded. Former NSA chief codebreaker Ed Giorgio reviewed Baber’s research and agreed that the decoding results align with indirect evidence.

Former LAPD homicide detective Rick Jackson boldly stated that these cases are now considered solved, given the numerous links and overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Currently, agencies such as the San Francisco Police Department, Napa County Sheriff’s Office, and FBI are reviewing the materials provided by Baber’s team.
