Heriberto Seda New York

Status: Incarcerated

Heriberto Seda is a serial killer in the United States. He was active from 1990–1993 . He currently have 3 victims, though he is suspected of 3 . According to Wikipedia, he was the New York City copycat of the "Zodiac Killer" .

This happened primarily in New York. He was sentenced to  life imprisonment .

His appeal includes:

Defendant allegedly authored letters to the police and the New York Post claiming responsibility for these and other shootings, and identifying himself only as "The Zodiac." From 1990 until 1996, the police conducted extensive investigations in an effort to find the so–called "Zodiac Killer." In particular, on June 1, 1990, the police set up a "Zodiac Task Force," which consisted of approximately 65 detectives assigned exclusively to the investigation of this case. This task force was disbanded on November 30, 1990. On August 8, 1994, following additionalshootings allegedly committed by The Zodiac, the police established a second task force of 25 detectives. This second task force was disbanded on April 30, 1995. The People maintain, however, that investigation of the case continued until the arrest of defendant on June 18, 1996. Defendant was indicted on August 20, 1996.

In Supreme Court, as part of his omnibus motion, defendant moved to dismiss counts one through ten of the indictment, relating to the two March 1990 shootings. Defendant argued that, because the prosecution was not commenced until over six years after the alleged crimes, these charges were time–barred by the applicable five–year statute of limitations ( see, CPL 30.10[2][b]). The People countered that the running of the statute of limitations was tolled by CPL 30.10(4)(a)(ii), which excludes from the period of limitations any time during which the defendant's "whereabouts" are "continuously unknown and continuously unascertainable by the exercise of reasonable diligence." The People assert that because they were continuously unaware of the defendant's identity as the alleged perpetrator, they were thus also continuously unaware of his whereabouts, notwithstanding the considerable efforts of the police to find him.
