Controversial media figure Alex Jones has ignited a fresh online firestorm with his sarcastic takedown of a sensational claim linked to commentator Candace Owens and her source, Mitch Snow. The controversy erupted after Snow asserted on social media platform X that the infamous, never-caught Zodiac Killer was his father.
Jones Dismisses Claim with Sarcastic Remarks
The saga began when Mitch Snow posted on X, stating that the Zodiac Killer died in the year 2022. Snow went further, claiming he could provide DNA evidence to support his assertion that the serial killer was his father. This bold declaration quickly gained traction across social media platforms, drawing widespread attention and skepticism.
Alex Jones, the host of the far-right show InfoWars, responded with characteristic mockery. He openly questioned the veracity of Snow's story, highlighting the complete absence of any concrete proof. Jones compared believing the claim to witnessing "Martians land in my backyard," making his profound disbelief abundantly clear. His reaction poured fuel on an already heated online debate involving Owens, Snow, and a history of conspiracy-linked narratives.
The Core of the Controversy: No Official Proof
At the heart of Jones's skepticism lies a cold, hard fact: the Zodiac Killer case remains officially unsolved. Law enforcement agencies have never conclusively identified the individual responsible for a series of murders in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Crucially, no definitive DNA match has ever been confirmed by authorities, which makes any claim of familial connection impossible to verify against an official benchmark.
During a segment on his show, Jones pointedly challenged Snow's statements. He argued that since the killer's identity was never officially established, there is no validated DNA profile available for comparison. In a sarcastic tone, Jones stated, "I want to apologize to Candace Owens for ever questioning Mitch Snow. I was wrong. He has now revealed on his official X account that he is the son of America’s most famous serial killer. That must be proof. I mean, I saw Martians land in my backyard last night. I do not have photos or video, but it is okay."
Wider Context and Reactions
Mitch Snow's claim resurfaced in the context of an online post about a Prime Video documentary on the Zodiac Killer. Snow responded to this post by reiterating his familial claim and offering DNA evidence. To date, no law enforcement agency or credible authority has stepped forward to confirm or investigate this claim.
Not content with his initial remarks, Alex Jones continued to mock the story. He humorously suggested outlandish ideas to underscore what he perceived as its fundamental lack of logic. Jones also shared Snow's original post on X, labeling it as "groundbreaking" in a manner dripping with sarcasm.
This incident also touched upon other conspiracy theories, including those related to commentator Charlie Kirk. Jones clarified that his previous comments in a video about Kirk were made in satire, emphasizing that Charlie Kirk is alive and well, with no verified reports suggesting otherwise.
The episode underscores the potent mix of social media, unverified claims, and the amplified voices of media personalities in shaping modern online discourse. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring mystery of the Zodiac Killer case, which continues to captivate and provoke speculation decades after the crimes.
