How would you rate the mysterious Zodiac Killer in San Francisco Bay on a scale from one to five? He was the most elusive and unknown among all serial killers, and he was lucky to get away with it. He was never apprehended. He killed five people, although others say he murdered more than 20 people. Here are are a list of some things that never happened, but either one that could have happened. Here are some different conclusions and ideas. 1. When approached by police, suspect would be arrested and would stand trial to make confessions to the murders. 2. When approached by police, suspect would be arrested and would stand trial, but would maintain innocence. 3. When approached by police, suspect would escape to resist arrest, then police would forcefully take him in. 4. When approached by police, there would be a chase in San Francisco and then he would surrender to police, like OJ Simpson in 1995. 5. He would just be too dangerous to be kept alive nor to be apprehended; he would be a Cop killer as well; Police will just have to shoot him dead.

I am fully aware that Memphis is no San Francisco, but as a tourist, how does its hot spots stack up with Oakland, San Jose and other Bay area cities? I have four days to vacation. Thanks
