Heriberto Seda was born in New York in 1967. Seda was mentally and physically abusive to his sister, and was in trouble at school for bringing weapons. Seda began actively terrorizing people in 1990. He killed three and wounded six more before his capture. He copied The Zodiac Killer by sending taunting messages to police. His code was based on maritime flags, which was easy to crack. He claimed that he was selecting victims based on their Zodiac signs, but this was proven to be false. Police eventually captured him in 1996 after an altercation with his sister. He got himself pinned to the murders in the most ridiculous way, and was eventually put on trial. He is currently still alive and incarcerated at Dannemora.

This book is less than 300 pages for those interested in a shorter true crime read. It offered plenty of details about the crimes and the trial. This case was featured on Forensic Files, for those who are interested in the reading list for that. I am glad to have this one marked off my list for the year.
