Case 200: The Zodiac (Part 2/4)
Added 2022-02-05 09:09:11 +0000 UTCOn December 20 1968, teenagers David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen were gunned down in the middle of the night on a deserted road in Benicia, California. Six months later, another young couple, Darlene Ferrin and Michael Mageau, were shot in a parking lot in nearby Vallejo. When an anonymous caller informed the police that he’d committed both attacks, the hunt was on. Investigators found themselves in hot pursuit of an elusive murderer who seemed to enjoy taunting them through letters and cryptic ciphers; a serial killer who signed off his communications with a crosshair symbol and called himself ‘Zodiac’.

2022-02-07 00:39:25 +0000 UTCI confess that when I usually hear specifics about victims behaviour prior to a crime I feel a little relieved that they weren’t murdered. This series is turning that on its head. Not sure I’m a fan of these literary embellishments. Eg how do we know someone was feeling relaxed and happy or gazing through a windscreen etc if no one was there to see it but them?

2022-02-06 19:13:21 +0000 UTCI’ve never ever turned off a podcast to wait until day time to listen…. Until this one. Wow, it’s terrifying. Written and told so well as usual. Although I have heard of the Zodiac killer I know nothing about him and am so hooked!

2022-02-06 07:42:24 +0000 UTCI’ll be honest, I don’t wish to hear you say ‘goodbye’ like that ever again, Casey. That was SO creepy in my ears!

2022-02-05 17:51:55 +0000 UTCNo worries. But it actually also means that "ten months later" should become "seven months later".
