S33 Bonus 4: The Zodiac: April 1978 Letter


Listen Later

In this bonus episode we delve into the chilling events surrounding the mysterious April 1978 letter and the ensuing scandal that rocked the San Francisco Police Department. After a four-year silence, the infamous Zodiac killer seemingly re-emerged, sending a cryptic message to the San Francisco Chronicle that reignited the hunt for the elusive murderer. However, the spotlight soon shifted to Detective Dave Toschi, the lead investigator, when suspicions arose about his potential involvement in fabricating the letter. We explore the intricate web of doubt, the media frenzy, and the impact on Toschi's career as we unravel the layers of this complex case. Join us as we examine the evidence, the accusations, and the legacy of a detective forever haunted by the shadows of the Zodiac.
