Summary

Understand history's most enigmatic serial killer.

In December of 1968, a serial killer began orchestrating a campaign of terror in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not satisfied with the simple act of murder, he taunted law enforcement and the public by writing letters to local newspapers. Through often cryptic and bizarre content - including four ciphers, three (now two) of which have never been solved - the psychopath played a twisted game. Reporters dubbed the man the "Cipher Killer", but the murderer chose a different name for himself: the Zodiac. Eventually, he would claim to have murdered 37. Law enforcement, however, could only account for five.

In 1971, authenticated communications with the Zodiac ceased. The elusive fugitive resurfaced briefly three years later, sending a small number of communiqués, before disappearing for good. What started out with shocking abruptness slowly dissolved into mysterious uncertainty. To this day, the Zodiac's true identity remains one of the 20th century's greatest mysteries...

In the final volume of The Zodiac Revisited, Michael uses the insights developed in volume two to reexamine the killer's letters and crimes as well as the possibility that the killer committed a series of murders in Southern California.

I didn’t know how to rate “story” as this isn’t that kind of book, in my view.

Well written and logically and rationally crafted, this is a good series to listen to get a good foundation on the case and its numerous fine details.

My main critique with Zodiac books or “documentaries” with their various theories and conclusions is that they make the mistake of confusing facts and “safe” inferences with pure speculation and suppositions and create an ever more wobbly construction of a theory all in the quest of “proving” their theory correct.

This author avoids that pitfall and the listener is so much better informed because of that.

Overall, one of the better zodiac deep dives - thank you Mr Cole.

Very good, immensely interesting, and comprehensive
