All of the audio for this week's episode was corrupted.  I didn't want to put up a sub-par, quickly recorded, and poorly edited episode.  So instead, here's a prototype episode from way back when the premise of the podcast was slightly different.  Please accept it as a humble apology for not having a new episode ready.

In the late 1960's a mysterious, middle-aged, white male began killing people seemingly at random in northern California.  Soon after he would send a letter to a newspaper naming himself Zodiac.  Who was this unknown serial killer?  No one has been able to discern his identity.  That ends today.  Take a listen to this episode to find out who the Zodiac Killer really was.  And I cannot stress this enough...it's not Ted Cruz.  We aren't having this conversation again.

In the 19th century, a man began digging a pit on Oak Island in Nova Scotia hoping to find the buried treasure of the famed Captain Kidd.  Since then many have followed in his footsteps, and six have died to the curse of the island, but no treasure has been found.  So is there really treasure buried there?  We'll tell you all about it in this episode.

In the early 1900's Wilfrid Voynich, an antique book dealer, acquired a very strange manuscript with strange depictions of plants and animals never seen before.  It was written in a language never seen on Earth.  Carbon dating puts the origin of the book in the early 15th century.  The question is, where did it come from?  Who wrote it?  What is the language in it?  Tune in to this episode and we'll tell you everything you need to know about the Voynich Manuscript.

In the 1930s Amelia Earhart, the first woman to make a transatlantic airplane voyage alone, disappeared over the Pacific ocean.  What happened to her and her co-pilot?  Was it aliens?  Was it the Russians?  Maybe they just settled down on an island somewhere.  Tune in to this episode, and we'll tell you exactly what happened to this iconic woman.

Everyone knows that in November of 1963 John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, TX's Dealey Plaza.  The official story says that Lee Harvey Oswald, as a lone shooter, was the one who killed him.  Is that really true though?  In this episode we get to the bottom of the most infamous assassination in the history of the United States.
