Looking at the press release [1], it still feels relatively circumstantial to me. Not sure that we can deem the Zodiac Killer to be fully identified yet.
It's definitely not nearly as cut and dry as when they identified the Golden State killer.
This is exactly why I want to see more info about the cipher they solved (that and my innate interest in ciphers.) The claim is that when you remove all the letters of his full name, there is a 2nd message hidden there.
This is exactly the sort of thing I would immensely like to get ahold of and apply some stochastic models to, in addition to just knowing more of the specifics.
In any case, if they have truly deciphered a message that implicates him, it would be significantly more than circumstantial.
What really pains me is the paucity of substantial information backing up the claim, that and the story seems to have been broken by TMZ, ugh.
