He called himself the Zodiac. He hunted in the shadows of San Francisco. And he wanted the world to read his words. In this gripping episode of Crime Stands Still: Deep Cuts, we examine the infamous letters and ciphers that terrified a nation—and left behind more questions than answers.
What was the Zodiac trying to say—and why did he need the world to listen? Was he a narcissist craving control? A manipulator hiding in plain sight? Or something even darker?
Featuring insights from linguists, criminal profilers, and surviving investigators, this episode dissects the Zodiac's most notorious messages—including the 340-character cipher cracked decades later, and examines potential suspects, the media frenzy, and why the case still haunts the public imagination.
