United States Senator Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz, a suspected Canadian, today faces darker speculation as he campaigns to become the Republican Presidential nominee.

Fusion, The Daily Dot, other reputable Internet content engines and paranoid liberal Twitter users everywhere have begun to suspect that Cruz may be responsible for the slew of killings that rocked Northern California in the '60s and '70s.

During a murderous rampage that ranged from Lake Beryessa to San Francisco's 7-by-7, "The Zodiac Killer" or "Zodiac" even contacted local Bay Area media outlets in order to take gloating credit for many deaths, leaving cryptic clues as to his identity. That has never been properly ascertained, leading Google searchers to wonder if "Ted" could indeed be "Zodiac."

The thoughts and theories are wide ranging and highly convincing in their scope. So, as you would choosing a candidate for your vote: You decide.


Is Ted Cruz the Zodiac Killer? from Sergio Andres Lobo-Navia on Vimeo.

As goes the solution to the Zodiac's 408-symbol cipher:

"I LIKE KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH FUN IT IS MORE FUN THAN..."

"KILLING WILD GAME IN THE FORREST BECAUSE MAN IS THE MOST DANGEROUE ANAMAL OF ALL TO KILL SOMETHING GIVES ME THE MOST THRILLING EXPERENCE IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN GETTING YOUR ROCKS OFF WITH A GIRL..."

"THE BEST PART OF IT IS THAE WHEN I DIE I WILL BE REBORN IN PARADICE AND THEI HAVE KILLED WILL BECOME MY SLAVES I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY NAME BECAUSE YOU WILL TRY TO SLOI DOWN OR ATOP MY COLLECTIOG OF SLAVES FOR MY AFTERLIFE EBEORIETEMETHHPITI"

Rampant speculation has even given way to a novel fundraising effort. Proceeds from this unauthorized campaign shirt, designed by Texan Tim Faust and drawn by Rory Blank, go to the El Paso-based abortion fund, the West Fund, as Jezebel reports.

Ed Note: Ted Cruz was born in 1970, leaving theorists to ponder the possibility of time travel in order to justify their claims.
