Imagine a man who killed 37 people, and sent a letter to a newspaper revealing his name… yet the identity of this person still remains a complete mystery. On this episode of Serial Unsolved Ciphers we explore the mystery of the Zodiac Killer, a murderer who attacked during the 1960s in Northern California. We delve into the ciphers themselves, including how one of them was broken by two high school teachers.
