After 51 Years, A Zodiac Message Is Decoded

Codebreakers finally crack the Zodiac Killer's diabolical cipher

December 14, 2020 -- Agence France-Presse [AFP, the French Press Agency] has released a news story that a small group of cryptology code crackers has decoded the Zodiac killer’s 1969 “340” message, which consists of 340 figures in seventeen columns.  The code was cracked by an American web designer, Australian mathematician and a Belgian logician.  The solved message has been shared with the FBI, which has issued a statement which states that their investigation is still open, so they have no conclusions to offer at this time.  See this link, which also includes a link to a 13 minute video explaining how the Zodiac’s code was cracked:
