54 years ago He Carried His Left Ear



Designer Robert Salem is killed mutilated by an unidentified Zodiac copycat-killer at the age of 40 in 745 Stevenson Street, San Francisco, California, United States.


"The 40 year old designer of lamps had been repeatedly stabbed with a long-bladed knife. The killer had apparently tried to decapitate his victim and when that failed he cut off Salem's left ear, carrying it away with him when he fled. There was also this bizarre touch: scrawled on the wall in Salem's blood, were the words "Satan Saves."  The killer then in larger letters wrote "Zodiac" and drew a strange symbol resembling a crucified man. The same symbol had been drawn on Salem's stomach".
