Mike Rodelli of New Jersey believes another man is the Zodiac Killer. Believing the Zodiac had a compulsion to write letters and commemorate dates and anniversaries, Rodelli started scouring the letters sections of old newspapers for traces of the Zodiac's writing style.

He found a letter written to a California newspaper precisely six months after the first Zodiac killing warning of "a bloody confrontation" and "young people lying dead and wounded in the street." The letter was signed by a wealthy San Francisco businessman who is well-known in the city to this day. Rodelli learned that in 1969 the businessman had lived in Presidio Heights, the neighborhood where the taxi driver was killed. His home was near the location where Officer Fouke says he saw the Zodiac killer go up the stairs.

The businessman, who is still living and working in San Francisco, told Primetime that Rodelli's theory is "insane," and agreed to provide a DNA sample that could prove it.
