For 51 years, the Zodiac Killer's most complex puzzle mocked the world's brightest minds. Mailed in 1969, the 340 cipher was a grid of bizarre symbols daring investigators to find him.

The translation exposed a rambling, taunting message where the murderer boasted he wasn't afraid of the gas chamber, convinced his victims would become slaves in paradise.
