http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a42288/is-ted-cruz-the-zodiac-killer/Between December of 1968 and October of 1969 in Northern California, five men and women were murdered, and two others were attacked, by a man whose identity has remained a mystery for decades. The killer, who identified himself with a Zodiac sign in a series of cryptic and boastful letters to police, claims to have murdered 37 people altogether. There is little hope at this point that any of the crimes will be solved, but cases remain open in a number of cities throughout California.

They also say don't let the dates fool you, he's deliberately sneaky. Crafty.

But aren't there a few unsolved abortion clinic attacks?

At the time, Ronald Reagan was in California and Republican enough to be able to justify the murders.

This makes me smile http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/news/a53952/ted-cruz-zodiac-killer-tshirts-abortion/
The 2016 election cycle has already seen its share of weird conspiracy theories, but the craziest one by far is that GOP presidential candidate and Texas senator Ted Cruz is the infamous Zodiac killer who terrorized Northern California in the 1960s and 1970s with a spree of still-unsolved murders. The Daily Dot traces the origins of the theory, which recently spread through Twitter with hashtag #ZodiacTed, back to 2013. Now two Texas men have capitalized on this bizarre meme by selling "Ted Cruz Was the Zodiac Killer" shirts online, and they're donating the profits to an organization that helps fund abortions.
Jezebel reports that the shirt was created by friends Tim Faust and Rory Blank, who do not actually believe Cruz is the Zodiac killer, but who wanted to use the meme to show people that Cruz who is anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage is scary. "There's no way Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer the dates don't match up," the site notes, jokingly. "However, there's no way of knowing whether Ted Cruz has sworn with his every waking breath to further the agenda of the Zodiac Killer, whom he may or may not love."
As a true Texas Democrat, I may have to get one of these shirts

Which says a lot about Ted. It would also make a really good movie, a serial killer running for president and wins.
