After the murder of taxi driver Paul Stine, the Zodiac Killer sent a piece of the victim's bloody shirt to the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper in an effort to prove that he was indeed the killer, reported United Press International. The surprising and grisly souvenir was tested and confirmed to have come from Stine's clothing, but no other DNA was found on the piece that could help lead to the killer's identity. Stine was Zodiac's last confirmed victim.

In a strange twist, it's believed that the police actually had an encounter with the Zodiac Killer. Police on the lookout for the Stine's murderer had a miscommunication and thought they were looking for a Black suspect. Two patrolmen in the area came across a man walking away from the crime scene, but because he was Caucasian they didn't stop him. The Zodiac Killer refers to the mistake in a later letter, taunting the police that they almost had him, but because of the error in identity they let him slip through their fingers (via History).
