Zodiac Speaking

The path I'll be taking towards the discussion of the murder of Paul Stine is laid out.

A final wrap-up of the Lake Berryessa attack, as well as a look at the rest of the path of the podcast

A look at the clues from the Lake Berryessa attack, and if Zodiac left some behind on purpose.

Today, we look at the words of Bryan Hartnell, what they meant to the idea of Zodiac and how they have moved the case along. we also touch on details defining how a timeline is build, how unreliable details can often be as important as verifiable, and we give a shout-out to the amazing Ashley and Bay Area Mystery Club!

We start our look into the attack at Lake Berryessa with a few snippets from the police reports.

A first look at the first attack following the Zodiac giving himself a name. Here, I lay out what I'll be talking about for the rest of the set of episodes, and exactly what it might all mean.

We look at the first two letters written to newspapers, the strange spelling, and why they may, or may not, be authentic.

Through the police report and my random thoughts, I look at Michael Mageau, how it fits into the case at large, how his survival may have changed the path of the murders, and more.

A look at Darlene Ferrin and the stories that have grown around her. Was she the key to everything? Was Zodiac after her and her alone? Was she stalked? What were the calls to her family about?

You can say that the attack on Michael Mageau and Darlene Ferrin on 4th of July, 1969 is what took a pair of murders and turned them into one of the most famous set of killings ever. We look at the two victims, and what we'll be looking at in the coming episodes, starting in late May
