Speaker 1 (00:02):
In the seventies as it was happening, a lot of
us have probably thought, gee, there's a lot going on.
But looking back at a decade of violence, it was
just crazy. It was crazy time. Most serial killers don't
make any effort to involve media or investigators. They're very secretive.
They don't want attention. They almost want their crimes to

(00:23):
go unnoticed. But the idea of committing a crime and
then calling up the police and bragging about it, that's
a whole another level of terror. A man who wore
a medieval style executioner's hood, who has baffled the police
and baffled the media. He seems to crave publicity. He
sent letters and cryptograms to newspapers and the police. Subjects stated,

(00:44):
I want to report a murder, no a double murder.
I did it Here. We are fifty years after the

are being solved. We're talking about probably the most famous
cold case the last century or so in terms of
it's trauma and being unsolved. Who doesn't want to know

(01:05):
how it turns out? Dear editor, this is the Zodiac speaking.
If you do not print the cipher by the afternoon
of Friday, first of August. I will go on to
kill rampage Friday night. I will cruise around all weekend,
killing loan people in the night, then move on to
kill again. The best part of it is that when

(01:28):
I die, I'll be reborn in paradise and all that
I have killed will become my slaves. From my Heart radio,
How Stuff Works, and Tenderfoot TV. This is Monster, the
Zodiac Killer.
