The Zodiac /// Part 5 

Part 5 of 5

A killer’s letters. Cryptic threats. Questions that endure decades later.

In the final installment of our Zodiac series, Mike Morford from the Criminology podcast joins us in the Garage to examine Zodiac’s communications with attorney Melvin Belli and the unsolved murder of Cheri Jo Bates—a case long debated for its possible connection to Zodiac.

Drawing on Mike’s extensive knowledge, we dig into the evidence, weigh the suspects, and explore the “what ifs” surrounding one of America’s most infamous unidentified serial killers.

Grab a chair and join us in the Garage.
