Heriberto Seda: New York’s Zodiac Killer | World's Most Evil Killers | Forensic Files

in the early hours of the 10th of August 1992 in Brooklyn New York City a 39 year
old woman suffering with long-term mental health issues found herself in an unfamiliar area near Highland Park
Trisha fonte who was at times homeless a very vulnerable woman Patricia was lured to the park by a
stranger the man then shot her twice and stabbed her more than 100 times the vicious murder was carried out by Hedy
Berto Eddie seder who believed he was following in the footsteps of the notorious Zodiac Killer he took the
legacy of another serial killer and tried to make it his own he preyed on the vulnerable he killed at random and
he was utterly heartless within four years seder attacked more than nine innocent victims killing three being the
kabukat Zodiac was in his DNA was in his soul and he liked the attention he liked
the media he liked the results he sought out and stalked victims on the fringes of society to feed his lust for
power and Status confirming harryberto Eddie seder the New York zodiac as one of the world's most evil killers
thank you [Music] in the early 1990s tarot gripped the city of New York USA haniberto Eddie
seder roamed the streets late at night masquerading as the San Francisco Zodiac Killer
[Music] it caused a lot of fear within the citizens of New York City in particular
Brooklyn and Queens that there was now a serial killer claiming to be the Zodiac
and everybody recalled that the Zodiac and the San Francisco Bay area in the 60s and he was never apprehended and
this guy was claiming to be one in the same in a city already overwhelmed with crime
Sader was shooting strangers in the street but his attacks went unnoticed until he left a series of enigmatic
notes purporting to be from the Zodiac Killer of course the media frenzy so we had to
deal with this publicity and reporters and put a lot of pressure on the NYPD Sergeant Joseph Herbert was one of the
investigators who spent years pursuing the New York zodiac what the Zodiac was done when he was doing males females
black white Spanish he had no Pacific Target I think it was just the best opportunity
that he had you know he could get away with it he prided himself on the idea that he got better and better at it that
he had trained himself to use stealth and surprise more and more and more and that he became more accomplished as a
murderer the chilling story of Harry Berto Eddie seder the New York zodiac begins in New
York City born in 1967 he was the eldest of two children it was a tiny apartment
in Brooklyn but Eddie's mother was very proud she wanted to do the very best for her two children it was quite a
dangerous part of the city to be in and I think their mother really struggled in
terms of keeping her children out of that kind of Lifestyle seder's father was absent during his
impoverished childhood they barely had enough money to eat at times so Sader stepped into that role as the patriarch
of the family he was quite controlling especially when it came to his younger half-sister in
terms of the kind of things that she did the kind of people that she hung out with
he was somebody who voluntarily excluded himself from drugs and from gang crime [Music]
Eddie grew up being rather religious but also strangely reclusive nevertheless at least say there was by
all accounts a good student very anti-drugs anti-alcohol addiction really hated the drug dealers in the
neighborhood and he really didn't like the fact that his younger half-sister had some friends who were involved in
drug dealing he was casting judgment on other people for their choices for their
behaviors for their decisions in 1983 at the age of 16 Eddie seder was suspended from high school for carrying
a weapon he would never return no longer in education he now lacked a focus this part of his life that is
quite routine that is quite predictable and stable has now gone and I think he feels an awful lot of resentment about
that he seems to create at this point his own very elaborate fantasy world within his
bedroom he doesn't go out much he doesn't have a lot of friends one neighbor describes him as the
chronically unemployed recluse the enraged teenager would never return to school instead he tried to enlist in
the U.S military he'd failed the entrance exam just by a few points and this was something that he didn't take
very well at all I think this is something that he saw as pivotal to his sense of identity and his future and he
became incredibly angry about this he looks at the things that he tries to do and when he fails to do them it's
someone else's fault the world is pitted against him and I think during the course of this rumination he starts
plotting what is he going to do with his life feeling rejected by school and now the
Army Sader searched for a new way to define himself Sada had a real interest in and
admiration for violence so he read a lot about guns and serial killers he actually had a set of real killer
playing cards these were the people that he admired he watches a documentary on the San
Francisco Zodiac killer who killed five people and was never caught [Music] story around the Zodiac Killer is one of
power and it's one of status somebody who was able to hold an entire city to Ransom
somewhere in that developing psyche he thinks perhaps I could become the Zodiac Killer I can become someone who's
remembered I can be the same person by 1989 22 year old Eddie seder's perverse interests had grown and they
were becoming increasingly practical he wanted to be a soldier so he purchased fatigues he had lots of hunting knives
he never worked as I could tell a day in his life he really had very little income and as a result of that he was
never going to be able to buy a gun steadily he began to teach himself how to create and build guns zip guns
a zip gun is a homemade gun that it's basically a length of pipe and you put something at the end of that pipe that
acts as a firing pin something very crude it doesn't have rapid fire multiple fire capability it's one shot
at a time they're not very accurate it's absolutely essential you have to be close up to your target
unemployed unwanted and isolated Sadie Was preparing to act on his darkest instincts
on the 17th of November 1989 a cryptic letter arrived at an office of the New York Police Department
the letter had an astrological wheel and it had some threats and it had the indication that it had been someone
murdered the author of The Letter claimed to be the infamous San Francisco Zodiac Killer
resuming his attacks nearly 3 000 miles away and 20 years since his last known victim he'd drawn a circle divided into
12 sections one section was marked out alongside the words the first sign is dead
there was kind of a cursory investigation to see if there was anything matching any of the information
that was contained in the letter and there wasn't and so essentially the letter was vouchered and in most senses
I think just forgotten about the 75th precinct was Notorious for having the highest murder rate in the
city so they were not really going to be able to put a lot of resources into investigating this Oddball letter that
they received it was regarded as a simply crank letter talking about the San Francisco zodiac can't have gone
away for 20 years and changed coasts from the west of the East it defies belief less than four months later 22 year old
Hedy Berto Eddie seder would Breathe life into that Letter's murderous prophecy on Thursday the 8th of March 1990 49
year old Mario Orozco was making his way home from work at 1 45 a.m Mr orasco took the train home from Manhattan
back to the East New York area of Brooklyn where he lived he required a cane and he had a severe
limp when he walked he walks approximately four blocks when he's approached from the rear by an
individual who doesn't say anything shoot him once in a back and runs away badly injured Mario Orozco struggled to
his home across the street and called 9-1-1 the bullet is lodged in his spine and
doctors thought it was simply too dangerous to remove it and so it remained there
thankfully Orozco survived but without the bullet investigators were left with no meaningful evidence from the crime
scene the New York zodiac 22 year old Harry Berto Eddie seder had tasted blood for the first time
up until this point in time he'd just been thinking and he'd been planning it had all been in his head but now he's
doing and this is actually real three weeks later in the early hours of Thursday the 29th of March the Zodiac
would strike again he shot an intoxicated 34 year old man once in the back and again took flight
he suffered serious injuries was fortunate that he survived we wound up with fragments of a bullet that were
really not useful for ballistic evidence purposes he never saw his assailant we had very little evidence so an
investigation was really very hard to mount so this is now two victims both of whom
have survived nevertheless they are two random shootings in the middle of the night
both in the early hours of Thursday morning despite some similarities there was no
apparent link between the two crimes so the cell-style Zodiac Killer remained invisible to police as he moved on to a
third target on Thursday the 31st of May 1990. Mr Joseph Croce lived right around the
corner from the subway station where the first two victims exited the night that
they were shot Joseph Croce was elderly 78 year old man he had become a bit senile
[Music] Joseph was approaching his own apartment Sader engaged with his elderly man and
asked for a glass of water Joseph said go to your own apartment and get a glass of water and turned his back
and at that point said I shot him in the back neighbors heard the gunshot and called
the police but Sader had once again fled the scene Joseph Croce was rushed into surgery in
critical condition he was unable to provide police with a good description of his attacker
sata's selection of victims bespoke a level of cowardice somebody that was weak vulnerable
disoriented he was always looking for someone that he was certain would not fight back and they can't do anything to
stop him nearly a month later Joseph prachi died as a result of the attack with his third attempt the New York
zodiac had claimed his first kill he took the opportunity to taunt the police the detectives observed a letter
that was on Mr proty's front stoop and it was being weighted down by three stones and the letter had a pie Circle
and within the slices of the pie he had documented three astrological signs and he stated that three signs are dead
[Music] he indicated that he was responsible for the three shootings and the 12th of the
cops that they would not catch him just as he hadn't been caught in San Francisco
was when the police recognized they had a Serial perpetrator on their hands that became a Tipping Point in the media
coverage as well because now the Zodiac could become a murderer after Joe's approach you we shot right
up for the New York Post we had received a letter from someone claiming to be the zodiac
we were pretty certain that the person who left the note beside Jose was the same person who wrote this note
to the first sign is dead second sign is dead even though some victim survived he
still called them kills he intended to kill every single person that he attacked
really just tell us that list of narcissistic strand in his personality he doesn't want to be caught but he
wants it to be known that there is a serial killer on the loose he boasted that the bullets that he was
using in his weapons had no grooves a regular gun the barrel is drilled out in a certain way to leave identifiers
that are unique and they're called lands and grooves he believed he would be leaving no
evidence by using his zip guns upon examination in the ballistics laboratory he was accurate
there were no traditional lands and grooves on the bullets that were recovered from the victims
the New York Post turned up the heat on the investigation publishing the letter on its front page the headlines of
screaming Zodiac Zodiac Killer boat signs the enormous crime rates that were already besieging the city that this
became even more scary that it was this unknown person running around not randomly but seeking people by birth
sign a lot of calls came in mostly scraps of I met a guy who asked for my birthday
what's your sign kind of stuff there was very little actionable intelligence this really is Saida at the height of
his arrogance feels like he struck the right balance at this point in time between actually
being recognized for what he's done yet not being apprehended in pursuit of the serial killer the NYPD
had formed a zodiac task force operating out of Brooklyn Navy Yard they noticed that the crimes were happening on
Thursdays the shootings look within multiples of 21 days so 21 days at the missed approach will
be shot the NYPD flooded to East New York and Woodhaven area of Brooklyn and Queens in anticipation of a possible
shooting operation Watchdog was launched on the night of Thursday the 21st of June 1990.
Mike celevolo was one of the officers who took to the streets I think I had like 50 detectives with
all kinds of unmarked vehicles vans that look like ice cream trucks and things that wouldn't readily stand out
as being a police vehicle we were basically going to take notice of whoever was walking the street
between midnight and sunrise and we pretty much did that all night long sun came up
and nothing happens there was no shootings in the Brooklyn and Queens area so the detectives were getting ready to
wrap it up and they received a notification that there was in fact a shooting but this time he struck in Manhattan in
Central Park a homeless man who had psychological problems had substance abuse problems
was to sleep on a park bench he was shot on the park bench he only wounded the person and the
bullet lodged in the bench and it actually matched the bullet from the pro Chi seams so we knew we had the same gun
and likely the same perpetrator and more valuable than that was the note that was left at the scene
the note had basically more indications of the three priors as well as birth sign
the following day Friday the 22nd of June 1990 a second letter arrived at the New York Post newspaper again the author
claimed to be the San Francisco zodiac that letter had a thumb print and it matched the thumb print that was on the
letter left at the Central Park crime scene The Hope was then that we would be able
to find a suspect and match them up to some of this information we looked and checked to see if there's
anyone in the system that matched those prints and we found no one he's talking about constellations he's
talking about Faust he's talking about some really weird stuff that as New York City cops we're just not familiar with
he was claiming to be one zodiac one in the same he's coming across as very angry and
very frustrated because it's been speculated that this is a copycat this is an imitation this is somebody who is
less than the original zodiac we sent those letters to the San Francisco police department and they
were able to say with 100 degree of certainty that the guy who's writing all letters was
not the guy they were dealing with in the late 60s and early 70s he wanted to make himself bigger than he
really was Eddie Berto Eddie seder had struck four times but had killed only once
the New York police had scoured the Zodiac's Communications knowing that before he was finished he'd promised
that another eight wives would be ruthlessly taken he had attacked in Manhattan in Queens and he attacked in Brooklyn
three of the five boroughs in New York City it instilled a lot of fear in the city
as a whole we didn't have a clear description from any of the victims we weren't sure if we
were looking for a black man a latino man a Caucasian man we just didn't have any concrete witnesses to tell us which
made it tough by the end of 1990 the New York zodiac had ceased communication the NYPD at the time to what that not
only had he stopped communicating with us but that he had stopped perpetrating his attacks nothing happened the next
Thursday or the Thursday after the task force dissolved over a period of time everybody went back to their assignments
and everybody forgot about them Cedar takes a step back and I think this is something that he's learned through
reading about lots of different cases of serial killers and trying to learn from
the mistakes that they've made this is to allow him to collect his thoughts and start planning the next
phase of attacks Eddie seder had gone silent as the New York zodiac but maintained contact with
police in other ways he becomes to some extent a police informant informing the police about
local drug lords in his bit of Brooklyn at one point seder can be a killer and the other point he can be offended by
drug use and Drug dependency another of the conflicts an extraordinary character
of any cider despite this unlikely collaboration the New York Police Department was no closer
to connecting Cedar to the New York zodiac attacks I had always said that this case is
going to be solved by way of a fluke something bizarre happening maybe he'll jump over a turnstile to evade the fair
on the subway a cop will grab them and they'll fingerprint them and then they'll say Bing we have a match
four years after his first attack on the 10th of March 1994 officers spotted Eddie seder outside his apartment
carrying one of his homemade zip guns they arrested him for unlicensed possession of a potentially Lethal
Weapon the police examined the zip gun which is made up of the most extraordinary
materials including shoelaces and a rubber band when this contraption is sent to
ballistics the ballistics guys didn't know how it worked and they couldn't figure it out so it
was listed as inoperable the district attorney dismissed the case his fingerprint card was sealed
incredibly Sader had escaped from right under the noses of the NYPD and his fingerprint record was inaccessible to
police said his conviction that he was somehow Immortal and Beyond reproach is confirmed
on the 3rd of August 1994 three days after Eddie seder's 27th birthday a third zodiac letter arrived at the
offices of the New York Post it had been four years since the last zodiac communique and the last of his four
known attacks from handwriting analysis they recognized that it's our friend's zodiac
back from 1990 again he's been busy come on in the upper right hand part of the letter of five documented victims
similar to the earlier letters where he's giving a brief description of the date the time and a brief description of
the victim he had stopped communicating with the media and the police but he continued
doing his crimes he had dropped the warnings in advance so he reported the news afterwards
which gave him a tremendous advantage the upper left-hand portion of the letter is a series of Maritime flags
that he put into a code when I broke down the code of the letter it said this is the Zodiac speaking
I am in control he who Masters there will be more yours truly on the bottom half of the letter he's
taunting the police he puts the Zodiac nine nypd0 so he's bragging that he's outsmart in
the NYPD he had shot nine he's threatening to shoot at least three more one for every sign of the zodiac
so they started a second task force and I was assigned to that test was what I immediately started doing was
tracking down the five victims that he's claiming in this letter they all were in
Highland Park the NYPD and looking at it recognized that the first four they had
open investigations into each of those the fifth victim we looked high and low we could not come up with that victim so
we were only able to come up with four of the five in this new letter two of the four victims had not survived
their injuries looking back on these cases investigators discovered that on Monday
the 10th of August 1992 25 year old Eddie seder had encountered a 39 year old with mental health issues named
Patricia fonte the attack on Patricia fonte was quite different from the other attacks
all the other zodiac crimes were approaches from behind one gunshot fired and he flees
and this was up with up and personal he went up to her they started engaging in conversation
she asked him for a cigarette he enticed her would a cigarette that he had and he lured her
into Highland Park he proceeds to shoot her twice he then goes into Overkill and his stabs her more than a hundred
times now to stab someone 100 times takes a very very great deal of determination
enormous amount of effort because it is literally terrifying I think he recognized that if somehow or
another she had eluded his capture at that point that she might have been able to identify from the amount of time that
he had spent with her Patricia fonte of course died of her injuries there was almost no way she
could have survived Patricia fonte was the second murder at the hands of the New York zodiac
more than a year later on the 21st of July 1993 he'd killed again Joseph diacon a 46 year old long-term
mental health patient had been shot in the neck whilst wandering through Highland Park
he bled out and died instantly with these new attacks Eddie seder had shed the constraints of his prior
methodology these killings were not carried out on a Thursday there were no links to the
signs of the zodiac that there had been with the previous four shootings and he's very deliberately adapted his
routine here because he doesn't want to be caught despite this caution one of his
surviving victims had finally managed to get a good look at their attacker she sees a male Hispanic with a mustache and
wearing some kind of a hat point the gun at her and flies one shot striking heaven and neck
the woman was partially paralyzed but her description was used in a police sketch
until then investigators had only received patchy and inconsistent information about the appearance of the
New York zodiac he took quite a lot of care varying his appearance so he would occasionally wear
hats he would grow a mustache and then he would shave it off after he had carried out an attack so he lived for
his attacks they were essentially his occupation this was his day job we've been every lead that we could
chasing fingerprints chasing ballistics but after nine months the department decided to break up the second task
force like they did the first task force I was assigned to become a hostage negotiator
the pursuit of the New York zodiac it hit another dead end then two years later on the 18th of June
1996 the NYPD received a call the phone rang about 12 noon and they had a hostage job where an individual
had shot his sister and he was holding her boyfriend hostage in a back bedroom or the apartment
I raced there she got there as fast as I could when I arrived the entire area was
cordoned off I was informed that not only had he shot his sister and had the boyfriend still
hostage in the back bedroom but when responding police arrived he shot it out with about 15 cops
he had positioned guns at each window in the apartment and he would run from window to window
shooting at the cops below and they were shooting back so finally Emergency Services arrived they were able to quote
it off the area the gunfire ceased he still a hostage taker with a hostage Sergeant Herbert tried to establish
communication with the man who identified himself as Eddie he's not talking to me from the window
finally they were able to evacuate the entire building and we were able to climb up the steps to Eddie's front door
and I started to try to get him to engage me in conversation then so we were in the hallway for about
three hours I was speaking to him trying to get him to surrender I was telling him Eddie and
that blood has been shed you know we don't need any more violence in surrender you won't be hurt
your sister's going to be okay let's end this now so finally he says am I going to go to
jail I said Eddie I can't lie to you you're going to go to jail you know you shot your sister uh you shot a cops you
know it's a very serious thing so then he tells us that he's ready to surrender and he says that he's got a lot of
weapons inside the department and a lot of ballistics a lot of bullets it took three bucket loads to get all his zip
guns and bullets out of the apartment we had already start and like relax a little bit out in the hallway because we
know all the weapons are out but then he said I gave you all my guns what should
I do with my bombs so I said Eddie you got bombs in here the bomb squad was urgently dispatched
and they recovered two crude pipe bombs from the small apartment Eddie was arrested and charged with
attempted murder of his half-sister and that of several police officers in the ensuing shootout
during an interrogation the 29 year old told police what had happened that his half-sister brought a MAG back
to the flat he's a drug dealer he's not someone that sadar feels that his half-sister should be
consorting with sada's relationship with his younger sister is a very significant one because
it's a relationship in which he felt like he was in control that as she got older she began to challenge that
Authority he also hated his sister having any relationships with men so he became incredibly angry about this
he gets into a beef with his sister and he shoots her in the butt and that'll certainly bring you to the
attention of the police and then when he's at the station house and he's writing his confession he he
just couldn't help himself detective said we want you to see this it's a confession that Eddie had for
shooting his sister and the handwriting jumped out at me as the handwriting that
I've been studying for the last four years five years at the bottom of the second page he has
an upside down cross similar to the earlier letters I said a show as I'm standing here this
is the zodiac everything starts fitting together the zip guns the location the case had been cracked wide open now
investigators knew where to look the evidence proving that seder and the Zodiac were one and the same was
mounting in his notes the Zodiac boasted that his homemade weapons would leave no
traceable marks on the bullets found in his victims he was wrong when a bullet travels to a pipe it still
leaves distinctive marks on the bullet so they were able to identify three of the bullets from victims of the zodiac
that we recovered from the victims with some of the pipes and zip guns that we took out of his apartment
when they matched his fingerprints bingo had a Berto Selah was arrested charged as the Zodiac Killer
forensic experts had also confirmed a handwriting and DNA match with the Zodiac letters
all he wanted to talk about initially was the Bible and religion eventually he realized you know we were telling
them about the evidence that we had he know the way we talk and we know what we were talking about you know we knew that
case we lived that case for years you finally confessed he believed that he was ridding Society
of drug addicted people it was the first time that he in a sense thrown off the cloak
and said here I am I'm the New York zodiac seder revealed much about the Zodiac crimes but not the most peculiar detail
there was nothing up his sleeve anymore except he would not reveal how it was he knew the birth signs of
his first four victims and I always took that to be his guilty pleasure of still taunting
the police that he had something that they couldn't figure out and he would never reveal it
he described these people as almost two-dimensional they have targets they were stick
figures they were not flesh and blood they were not real people they didn't hurt they didn't suffer they didn't have
lives they were just inanimate objects to him The Arrogant killer had narrowly escaped
Justice once before two years earlier Eddie seder had been arrested for carrying a zip gun police
at the time considered it to be unusable so he was released they preserved and kept that inoperable
gun let's retest this thing now that we've got these other guns that we all recovered from his home
and sure enough yeah it is operable and we were able to show that It ultimately matched the bullet that had been removed
from one of the victims the police had had a decider in their hands but because the case against seder was closed his
fingerprints weren't available to the police who were searching for the Zodiac Killer on the 14th of May 1998 30 year
old Henny Berto Eddie seder began a six-week trial at Queen's Supreme Court charged with three murders and one
attempted murder in the Queen's District of New York he shouts at the judge it's
as if I'm not here I'm being ignored I think he felt threatened and I think he felt at the same point that I'm not
being treated merely as significantly as I should be as a result of all I accomplished
there's a real vanity that attaches in this almost puffed up sense of of do you know who I am
and I think it's a confusion between Fame and infamy after a trial of six weeks the jury take barely five hours
to convict him on the 22nd of July 1998 harryberto Eddie seder was sentenced to 83 and the third years in prison
the following year on the 8th of July 1999 after a second trial of his crimes in the district of Brooklyn said it was
once again found guilty he was convicted of three zodiac crimes as well as the shooting of his
half-sister and four attempts on the lives of police officers during the insurance Siege
he is sentenced to further 152 and a half years in prison making is the total sentence 235 years
Berto Eddie seder had eluded capture for over six years and authorities believe he was far from finished when his luck
finally ran out he was upset that a number of people survived the shootings like if I'd made
my weapon a little better there would have been more people dead that he was very insulted by the fact
that some of these people lived I believe that if he did in fact hit the number 12 that he would continue killing
people although he might have just graduated to the bombs he did say that his ultimate ambition
was to take pipe bombs to the big IMAX movie theater in Manhattan and lay it in the middle of the theater under a seat
and see it get detonated [Music] it is kind of scary to see somebody who had such a small life as Mr Sater would
never really went anywhere outside of that square mile killing field that he invented who never really had any
connections with anyone on a budget as small as his he could kill three people nearly kill others and cause the amount
of misery that he did he was basically the lowest rent serial killer that you were ever going to find
well he's a coward he shoots people that are helpless homeless sleeping walking with a cane and a limb elderly and for
someone to shoot his own sister he was a monster very evil very evil guy over six years Eddie seder the copycat
Zodiac Killer stalked the streets of New York City in search of easy targets his
cowardly attacks culminated with the Ferocious murder of a woman who'd only asked him for a cigarette
he'd convinced himself that he served a higher purpose but merely indulged his Lust For notoriety and violence marking
