Gary Francis Poste (born November 8, 1937 - August 23, 2018) was a California man who is named in a press release as the notorious Zodiac Killer by a team of 40 researchers and experts calling themselves Case Breakers. The Case Breakers are made up of journalists, former police officers, and military investigators who have volunteered their time. According to Hill, Poste died in 2018. His full name is Gary Francis Poste. Online records show that he had an address in Groveland, California, died at age 80, and was affiliated with a painting business. He was married.

The Zodiac is one of the nation’s most feared and mysterious serial killers, stalking the San Francisco area in the 1960s and sending out codes that many have tried to crack. The serial killer is linked to five murders in the late 1960s in San Francisco, California, and the Case Breakers team believes he committed a sixth. The Zodiac claimed to have killed many more. Many people have attempted to crack the codes and identity of the Zodiac over the years, and the authorities have not publicly confirmed Poste as the Zodiac killer.
