Dec. 5th will probably be a long-remembered day in the household of David Oranchak and his wife, Kathryn Mustard. The couple live in southwest Roanoke County. Sheâs a mental health counselor, and heâs a computer scientist.
The mom and dad of two are avid distance runners. But itâs another hobby for which Oranchak has recently achieved a measure of fame: true crime sleuthing and cryptography. Early this month, Oranchak and a couple of far-flung colleagues successfully decrypted a cipher that had stumped experts and novices for 51 years.
It was from the Zodiac Killer, who attacked seven people â killing five â in 1968 and 1969 in the San Francisco Bay area. The serial killer worked with guns and blades and claimed multiple victims. The first six he attacked were young couples in secluded locations.
