  • The Zodiac Killer

    The Zodiac Killer struck fear in the San Francisco, CA area from 1969 to 1974 and taunted police and newspapers with ciphers and phone calls. Though the police had many suspects, no one was ever convicted, and his identity is still unknown! In this episode we'll discuss some of the Zodiac's ciphers, some of the police’s lead suspects and why they were dismissed, and a group who claims to know the Zodiac's Killer's identity.
