About this episode

Bailey Sarian explores the enduring mystery of the Zodiac Killer, discussing his crimes and the unanswered questions surrounding his identity.

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday!! Today I dive into one of my most requested episodes EVER... a story many of you have been patiently waiting for: the Zodiac Killer. For over 50 years, the Zodiac has terrified Americans. From isolated lover's lanes to busy city streets, this menacing, hooded murderer unleashed a terrifying spree, targeting young couples, a cab driver, and even threatening a busload of schoolchildren. His taunting letters, cryptic clues, unsolvable ciphers, and bone chilling phone calls kept the public in a frenzy. Even with DNA collected from the crime scenes and relentless investigations (some to this very day), the question remains... who was he? Despite countless theories and compelling arguments for several suspects, one thing is true... Zodiac seems to have gotten away with it. But how?! Why does this case still capture our attention? Why can't we solve it? Why did he do it?! Why why why?! So many questions. Dive in with me, share your theories, and let's explore the enduring mystery of the Zodiac Killer. Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon. xo Bailey…
