About this episode

The episode discusses Eddie Heriberto Seda, a serial killer who modeled himself after the Zodiac Killer and terrorized New York.

“Eddie” Heriberto Seda was a serial killer with an uncanny resemblance to Eddie Munster, who was obsessed with sorcery, necromancy, astronomy, magic and spells, and who envisioned himself as a continuation of the infamous Zodiac Killer who’d terrorized San Francisco twenty years earlier. Like the original Zodiac Killer, Eddie wrote bizarre letters to the press and police, plunging New York into a state of panic and fear, becoming known as the New York Zodiac. It is an utterly bizarre story, with a conclusion as wild as it gets. Buckle up!
