In the final installment of our Zodiac series, Mike Morford from the Criminology podcast joins us in the Garage to examine Zodiac’s communications with attorney Melvin Belli and the unsolved murder of Cheri Jo Bates—a case long debated for its possible connection to Zodiac.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Zodiac terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area and demanded attention through chilling communications with the press and police. His identity remains one of true crime’s most debated mysteries.

Operating primarily in Northern California between 1968 and 1969, the killer came to symbolize a unique brand of public terror. The Zodiac operated with an almost supernatural ability to evade capture. So who is the Zodiac Killer? This week Eddie McNamara joins Nic in the Garage to discuss his new book that revives an old Zodiac theory. The book is titled Zodiactually: the real story of a fake serial killer. The book is a fantastic read and the Garage conversation about one of America most intriguing serial cases is equally fascinating.more

At the center is the infamous Z13 cipher, a 13-character code sent to the San Francisco Chronicle that has long defied experts. Self-taught codebreaker Alex Baber used artificial intelligence and exhaustive analysis to narrow millions of possibilities down to a single name. As his theory gained traction, former detectives and intelligence experts began testing its credibility. The result is a provocative possibility: the name hidden in the cipher may also belong to the man behind another infamous California murder — the Black Dahlia.more
We conduct a behavioral linkage analysis to examine the question of whether two of the most infamous unsolved cases in American criminal history—the murder of Elizabeth Short, known as the Black Dahlia, and the Zodiac killings—could have been committed by the same offender.
In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy revisits the terrifying reign of the Zodiac Killer, whose cryptic letters and brutal attacks paralyzed Northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Taunting police and the media with ciphers, threats, and chilling promises, the Zodiac cultivated fear as deliberately as he committed murder. Despite surviving victims, physical evidence, and thousands of suspects, his identity remains unknown. From lovers’ lanes to city streets, this episode explores how the Zodiac built a legacy of terror—and why, decades later, the mystery still refuses to die.

Today I dive into one of my most requested episodes EVER... a story many of you have been patiently waiting for: the Zodiac Killer.
For over 50 years, the Zodiac has terrified Americans. From isolated lover's lanes to busy city streets, this menacing, hooded murderer unleashed a terrifying spree, targeting young couples, a cab driver, and even threatening a busload of schoolchildren.
His taunting letters, cryptic clues, unsolvable ciphers, and bone chilling phone calls kept the public in a frenzy. Even with DNA collected from the crime scenes and relentless investigations (some to this very day), the question remains... who was he?
Despite countless theories and compelling arguments for several suspects, one thing is true... Zodiac seems to have gotten away with it. But how?!
Why does this case still capture our attention? Why can't we solve it? Why did he do it?! Why why why?! So many questions. Dive in with me, share your theories, and let's explore the enduring mystery of the Zodiac Killer.
Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon.
