How the Zodiac Killer Investigation Fell Apart in 1978 ... Because of Armistead Maupin
Briefly

"The letters were so transparent, so pathetic that I couldn't bring myself to confront him." Maupin expressed deep embarrassment for Toschi's reckless actions while dealing with the fake fan letters.
Maupin noted the suspicious new Zodiac letter, which mentioned police officer Toschi personally, suggesting that it might have been faked by Toschi himself, as no past letters had done this.
Toschi admitted to sending fake fan letters, leading to his removal from the Zodiac case, yet he insisted he had no involvement in fabricating Zodiac letters.
"I wrote no Zodiac letter. I don't need another letter," Toschi stated, downplaying his involvement in the Zodiac case despite the serious allegations.
