In the late 60’s and early 70’s, an enigmatic serial killer terrorized the San Francisco Bay area—and teased the police tasked with stopping him.

Without warning he was gone, but not before achieving infamy in the annals of true crime history. Just who was the Zodiac Killer? In the first season of their popular podcast Criminology, Michael Morford and Mike Ferguson take a deep dive into one of true crime’s most notorious cold cases. Using actual case files, documents, and police reports they present a detailed chronicle of this mysterious investigation.

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 thirty-seven. 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 twentieth century's greatest mysteries... In Volume 1 of The Zodiac Revisited, Michael reviews the facts of the case, building a foundation for the analysis that follows in Volumes 2 and 3.

The Zodiac Killer: The Mystery Behind America's Most Feared Serial KillerIf not for the ominous shadow of Jack the Ripper, the case of the Zodiac Killer would perhaps be the greatest mystery the world has ever known. The Zodiac Killer was the self-given name to a murderer who took responsibility for the deaths of at least five people in the San Francisco area of California throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Over the decades, the case has become synonymous with mystery and injustice. The Zodiac Killer's murders were brutal, bizarre and without remorse. He began by targeting young couples in lovers' lanes and executing them with close-range gunshots. His murders then progressed, indicating a highly-unstable frame of mind yet one intelligent enough to evade capture. He would go on to taunt the police and the media with strange ciphers and messages which would take significant time to decode - some of which remain untranslated to this day. Despite extensive searching, analysing and profiling, no conclusive evidence of the Zodiac Killer's identity has ever been put forward. Of course, many theories exist, some of which appear to answer all of the questions one would have regarded the identity of a notorious serial killer. However, none are concrete enough to serve as solid confirmation of who he really was. This book looks at all the evidence, and tries to piece together the clues that point to the true identity of this murderer.

On November 8, 1985, 18-year-old Tom Odle brutally murdered his parents and three siblings in the small southern Illinois town of Mount Vernon, sending shockwaves throughout the nation. The murder of the Odle family remains one of the most horrific family mass murders in U.S. history. Odle was sentenced to death and, after seventeen years on death row, expected a lethal injection to end his life. However, Illinois governor George Ryan’s moratorium on the death penalty in 2000, and later commutation of all death sentences in 2003, changed Odle’s sentence to natural life. The commutation of his death sentence was an epiphany for Odle. Prior to the commutation of his death sentence, Odle lived in denial, repressing any feelings about his family and his horrible crime. Following the commutation and the removal of the weight of eventual execution associated with his death sentence, he was confronted with an unfamiliar reality. A future. As a result, he realized that he needed to understand why he murdered his family. He reached out to Dr. Robert Hanlon, a neuropsychologist who had examined him in the past. Dr. Hanlon engaged Odle in a therapeutic process of introspection and self-reflection, which became the basis of their collaboration on this book. Hanlon tells a gripping story of Odle’s life as an abused child, the life experiences that formed his personality, and his tragic homicidal escalation to mass murder, seamlessly weaving into the narrative Odle’s unadorned reflections of his childhood, finding a new family on death row, and his belief in the powers of redemption. As our nation attempts to understand the continual mass murders occurring in the U.S., Survived by One sheds some light on the psychological aspects of why and how such acts of extreme carnage may occur. However, Survived by One offers a never-been-told perspective from the mass murderer himself, as he searches for the answers concurrently being asked by the nation and the world.

This is not a book about the Zodiac Killer. Hundreds of books, articles, movies, television shows and much more are out there if you want to know about the Zodiac Killer. It is a tale that has been told and retold, written and rewritten, thousands of times. This is something you have never seen before, even if you follow this subject. While the book must cover the basics of the case and introduce new readers to just exactly what a "Zodiac Killer" is, what he did, and the many letters he had written, the bulk of the book is dedicated to something completely new that most have never seen. Zodiac mailed a map to he newspapers and police with one of the many letters he had written. This map was completely blank except for a compass that had drawn over a place called Mt. Diablo. Zodiac said this map could be used to find an alleged "string of bombs" he had planted beside of a road somewhere waiting for a school bus to go by. He also said this map somehow involved something called "radians". But no one knew how to use a blank map to find marked locations. For over half a century this remained a mystery, until now. A bomb schematic sent by the mad man and puzzle maker turned out to be one of the keys for this map, one of a couple. An overlay key. Using a method that has been used throughout history. Many examples can of this method can be found and this method is also taught in the military. He created a map overlay disguised as a bomb drawing. When two points on this drawing are aligned with two points on the map, one being the compass, marked locations can be revealed as well as a section of highway marked with a string of bombs. Whether these bombs were real or not is beside the point (but you would think that the world would want an answer to that question) , what the real mystery and importance of these places are is another question entirely. Zodiac was most famous for the codes he created to taunt the police and not the murders he committed. Only one of his codes was ever said to have been solved while several others remain a mystery to this very day. His most famous unsolved code is called the '340 code'' for the 340 symbols that comprise the code in a grid like formation. This book will also delve into the possibility that this code is also an overlay key for this map and it is used to find the long sought after "radians" that Zodiac said we would find. Clues and evidence from his letters go to support this very idea. That is for you to decide. Don't believe what I tell you. Believe what I show you. Believe your own eyes. This may be the key that someone uses to solve the mystery once and for all..

*Includes pictures *Includes contemporary accounts of the Zodiac Killer's crime spree and his messages to police *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "I LIKE KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH FUN IT IS MORE FUN THAN KILLING WILD GAME IN THE FORREST BECAUSE MAN IS THE MOST DANGEROUE ANAMAL OF ALL" - A section of the Zodiac Killer's cipher During the mid-1960s, the people of America became accustomed to opening their newspapers to two types of headlines. The first would be positive and often have something to do with the space program, perhaps which mission was in the works or which one had just been completed. Then there would be an article of a more negative nature, often concerning the United States' increasing involvement in the Vietnam War. Toward the end of 1968, however, a new and more sinister headline began to pop up. At first it was just in California and seemed to be simply a random crime, with a couple being murdered a few days before Christmas. It was a tragic tale, but in California, it was often dismissed as a byproduct of the youth culture of sex, drugs and rock and roll that often led young people to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then, some months later, another couple was shot, and this time the man survived. The story he told was not of someone targeting either him or his friend, but of a type of madman shooting them again and again. The idea that there was an unhinged serial killer on the loose was confirmed when he began writing letters to the police and the newspapers, not only claiming responsibility for these killings but for others that either had been or would be committed. After he stabbed a third couple and then shot a cab driver in cold blood, he began to send more and more letters. These, like the earlier ones, were signed with a symbol understood only by the killer, a man who called himself "Zodiac." In addition to sending cryptic letters that authorities had to decipher, the Zodiac Killer used them to both taunt people and threaten more violence, warning that a failure to publish what he would wrote would lead him to "cruse [sic] around all weekend killing lone people in the night then move on to kill again, until I end up with a dozen people over the weekend." In many respects, the pattern of crime and writing letters was not novel at all. Around the same time the Zodiac Killer was murdering people on the West Coast, the Son of Sam terrorized New York City in much the same way by killing at random and writing letters to the police. Serial killers often use a set pattern and/or rituals as part of their modus operandi, so in that regard the actions of the Zodiac Killer didn't exactly distinguish him from other serial killers. The main difference, of course, is that most serial killers are caught, including the Son of Sam (David Berkowitz), while the Zodiac Killer's identity remains an unsolved mystery. By both remaining unidentified and leaving seemingly tantalizing clues in his writing, the Zodiac Killer ensured his notorious legacy in American history, much the same way the attempt to identify Jack the Ripper continues to fascinate people across the world today. If this case had been part of a well-written police show or movie, there would be music, shooting, and perhaps a romance between a cranky cop and a sexy detective. The case would be wrapped up in an hour or two, the killer would either be killed in an exciting firefight or put away for life, and the people of San Francisco would once more rest easy at night. But this was no movie, the script lacks an ending, and though the killer would be an old man by now, as far as anyone knows, he could still be alive and potentially dangerous. The Zodiac Killer: The Mystery of America's Most Infamous Serial Killer looks at the life of the serial killer and the crimes he committed.
