CRISIS COMMITTEE
Between 1968 and 1970, a killer calling himself the Zodiac terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area, taunting police and newspapers with letters and ciphers before going silent. In 1974, a new letter containing details only the killer could know reopened the case, and with federal support cut under the Nixon administration, local authorities were left to catch him on their own.
This committee will bring together journalists, authorities, suspects, and witnesses to decode the Zodiac's ciphers, predict his next move, keep the public safe, and uncover the one true Zodiac. goes here
A Note From Crisis
A Note From Crisis
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to WALMUN! My name is Margo Kane, and I am a junior here at Walnut Hills High School. Outside of this club, I also participate in my school’s Sources of Strength and Community Action Team. This is my third year as a part of Model United Nations, and I cannot wait to be your crisis director. I have always taken a particular interest in the criminal minds that turn to shock the world. With such a curiosity, I gravitated towards true crime documentaries, which inevitably featured the puzzle of the Zodiac Killer. Since then, I have set my sights upon becoming a forensic analyst one day. But until then, I suppose a crisis committee themed around what could be America’s most mysterious killer will have to do. I only hope you all enjoy taking part in the committee as much as I did creating it. This crisis will explore the case of the Zodiac, and it will be left up to all of you, the delegates, to uncover the mastermind behind these murders. As the Zodiac’s cryptic letters pour in after a baffling intermission, and city hysteria amasses to a higher rate of fear than ever before, you must do everything in your power to identify and capture the elusive Zodiac. As this committee’s crisis director, I will be supporting you all from the back room, reviewing your crisis notes and assisting your arcs. I hope you all have fun exploring the crimes of the Zodiac while developing your own plot twists and making the committee your own with directives and notes.
If you find yourself with any questions, please feel free to contact me via email. I cannot wait to see you all soon.
All the best,
Margo Kane,
