He called himself The Zodiac. A man who murdered without mercy, taunted without fear, and wrote his name into the history of American crime with ink, blood, and code. Between 1968 and 1970, he struck across Northern California — couples on quiet roads, a taxi driver in San Francisco, and perhaps others still unknown. Then he disappeared, leaving behind only letters, ciphers, and a symbol that came to define him: a circle and a cross.
In this episode of The Veil, we return to those nights — to the still air over Lake Herman Road, the gunfire at Blue Rock Springs, the terror by the water at Lake Berryessa, and the quiet horror in Presidio Heights. Using only verified evidence and original records, we unravel the investigation that followed — the mistakes, the suspects, and the trail of arrogance the killer left behind.
From Arthur Leigh Allen to the Case Breakers’ modern claim, from the unsolved ciphers to the endless theories, the story remains the same: a man who wanted to be both invisible and unforgettable.
More than half a century later, the Zodiac’s true identity is still hidden — but his voice still echoes. “This is the Zodiac speaking,” he wrote. And maybe that’s the point. The murders ended, but the message never did.
Because behind every mystery, there’s a darker one waiting — and the Zodiac still waits behind the veil.
While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.
