00:02:56
the afternoon of saturday september 27 1969 almost three months after the murder of
00:03:03
darlene ferran in napa california 21 year old joanne and her two friends made their way into california's vacca
00:03:14
mountains they drove into a parking lot south of their destination and pulled their car
00:03:20
into park after gathering their belongings they prepared to make their way down to lake
00:03:26
berryessa the 23-mile long human-made reservoir was a popular recreational spot for
00:03:34
swimming fishing and water sports it was a warm afternoon and the three young women were planning to do some
00:03:41
sunbathing as they exited the vehicle another car caught their attention a late model two-door blue chevrolet
00:03:52
sedan with california plates drove into the parking lot from the southern side it passed the trio but then began
00:04:00
backing up to the empty spot behind their car the driver continued reversing until the
00:04:08
chevrolet's rear bumper was almost grazing the bumper of the women's car then he stopped and switched the
00:04:15
engine off he didn't get out as joanne and her friends walked past the chevrolet they caught a glimpse of
00:04:24
the lone driver inside sitting silently behind the wheel was a well-built white male who looked
00:04:32
to be about 40 years old with black hair parted to the left the women continued onwards to the lake
00:04:40
and settled by the shore they stripped down to their bikinis and began soaking in the sun
00:04:48
about half an hour later they looked up and noticed a man standing approximately
00:04:54
40 feet away amongst the trees the women recognized him it was the driver of the chevrolet
00:05:05
now that he was standing outside he looked tall perhaps between six foot and six foot two
00:05:12
he was dressed in dark trousers and a matching shirt an odd choice for the sunny waterfront
00:05:19
setting the enormous size of the lake meant there was more than enough room for visitors to spread out
00:05:27
this alone made the man's proximity unusual but it was the way he stared at the women that was most unnerving
00:05:36
deciding it was best to ignore him the young women didn't speak to the man but they glanced up intermittently to check
00:05:44
if he was still there every time they cast their gaze in his direction he averted his eyes
00:05:53
after about 30 minutes he finally stepped out of the shadows of the trees and dangled down to the lakefront
00:06:02
he got within about 20 feet of the women before traipsing up a hill and disappearing into the distance
00:06:10
when the trio returned to their car 15 minutes later both the man and his vehicle had vanished
00:06:19
[Music] a short while later clifford rayfield and his 16 year old son were further
00:06:25
along the shoreline when they noticed the man in dark-coloured clothing watching them
00:06:31
he stood on the incline of a hill halfway between the nearby road and the lake that's odd clifford thought
00:06:42
the man wasn't carrying a fishing pole camping equipment or a firearm for hunting
00:06:49
what's he doing out here then clifford wondered the man moved closer he was somewhat stocky and not very
00:06:58
nimble but he walked with purpose when he was within 100 yards of the father and son he stopped abruptly and
00:07:07
stared at them six uncomfortable seconds passed then just as suddenly he turned around and headed back up the
00:07:18
hill towards the road it seemed as though he'd been agonizing over something but then changed his mind
00:07:28
confused by the encounter clifford looked to his son the teenager happened to be holding his
00:07:36
rifle [Music] [Music] oblivious to the strange man disturbing other lake berryessa visitors
00:08:08
22 year old cecilia shepard and 20 year old brian hartnell took in their peaceful surroundings
00:08:17
they had arrived at the lake earlier in the afternoon the two students were good friends who'd
00:08:24
previously dated cecilia had recently transferred to another university and had stopped in at
00:08:31
her old college for a visit when she bumped into brian there the pair decided to spend the afternoon
00:08:39
together a last minute change of plans led them to the lake brian parked his white volkswagen karman
00:08:49
gear by the side of knoxville road he and cecilia gathered up a blanket and a deck of cards then ambled along a
00:08:58
narrow dirt trail towards the water after walking for about a quarter of a mile they saw a sandbar that provided
00:09:07
access to a small grassy island they walked across and spread their blanket under the shade of a large oak
00:09:15
tree near the shoreline from this idyllic spot they had the perfect vintage point to admire the lake
00:09:24
cecilia lay with her head on brian's shoulder and they reminisced about old times
00:09:31
two hours passed with nothing to disturb their privacy except for an occasional boat sailing across the lake's calm
00:09:38
waters it was nearing 6 30 pm when all of a sudden they heard a rustling sound from
00:09:46
some nearby bushes brian asked cecilia if she could see what was making the noise
00:09:55
she looked over a heavyset man was standing a short distance away watching them he was white
00:10:05
approximately 200 to 225 pounds and between five foot eight and six feet tall as cecilia watched
00:10:15
the man stepped behind a tree and disappeared she told brian who assumed the stranger
00:10:23
was merely looking for an isolated spot to urinate nonetheless he told cecilia to keep an
00:10:30
eye on him suddenly she squeezed brian's arm and cried out oh my god he's got a gun
00:10:45
cecilia and brian stared in shock as the man strode towards them pointing a handgun in their direction
00:10:53
dressed in dark trousers and a windbreaker the man's face was concealed by a dark hood that covered his entire
00:11:01
head shoulders and part of his torso holes for his eyes had been cut into the hood and he wore a pair of clip-on
00:11:10
sunglasses over the top neat white crosshair symbol was carefully painted across his chest and
00:11:18
hanging from the right side of his belt was a large sheathed knife [Music] i'm on my way to mexico he revealed
00:11:28
i escaped from dear lodge prison in montana brian peered through the exposed eye
00:11:36
holes in the man's mask and noticed sweaty brown hair stuck to his forehead he thought the man sounded young as
00:11:45
though he was between 20 and 30 years of age and he didn't come across as well educated
00:11:52
he also spoke with a slight drawl that was strangely familiar brian explained that he didn't have any
00:12:00
money but would help in any way he could he offered to hand over his wallet and car keys but the man didn't take them
00:12:10
in an attempt to defuse the situation brian nervously tried to engage the hooded man in conversation
00:12:18
at one point the man reholsted his weapon but he wasn't interested in being reasoned with
00:12:28
it was clear he had a specific purpose in mind lie face down on the ground i'm going to have to tie you up he said
00:12:39
he removed several lengths of plastic washing line that were hitched to the left side of his belt and handed them to
00:12:46
cecilia you tie the boy up he demanded cecilia did as she was told the man hog tired cecilia himself before
00:12:59
checking brian's restraints to make sure they were tight enough he then bound their ankles together
00:13:08
noticing the man shaking brian asked if he was nervous yes i guess so he replied
00:13:17
[Music] since the beginning of the ambush brian had suspected that the man's gun wasn't
00:13:24
loaded now that he and cecilia were both restrained he wasn't so sure he asked the man who pulled out the clip
00:13:34
in response confirming there were bullets inside he then reached into his belt and pulled
00:13:42
out a bayonet style knife with a long sturdy blade brian felt terror surge through his body
00:13:50
upon realizing this wasn't going to end well he begged the man to stab him first so
00:13:58
he wouldn't have to watch cecilia being heard he began stabbing brian over and over in
00:14:05
the back six times in total brian was flooded with shock he lay prone in a total days
00:14:16
unable to react cecilia started screaming frantically the man turned to her and launched a
00:14:25
frenzied assault he stabbed her in the back before rolling her over and repeatedly stabbing
00:14:32
her in the torso he launched his knife into her chest breasts groin and abdomen grunting and breathing heavily as the
00:14:43
attack intensified when cecilia stopped moving the man calmly walked away from the scene
00:14:53
he headed back towards the road where his victim's white volkswagen kamen gear was parked and took out a black marker
00:15:03
on the driver's side door he drew a large crosshair then scribbled a series of words and
00:15:09
numbers set out in several separate rows he concluded his note with two final chilling words
00:15:20
by knife ronald fong was fishing in lake berryessa with his nine-year-old son when he heard two voices screaming for
00:15:33
help the cries sounded as though they were coming from a small island nearby ronald circled his boat approximately
00:15:43
100 yards from the island and switched off the motor he could faintly make out a young man
00:15:50
and woman on the shore but it was too far away for ronald to tell whether their plays were serious
00:15:58
he ultimately dismissed it as a gag but 15 minutes later he could still hear the screams
00:16:08
ronald decided to approach the island and cautiously called out to ask what was wrong
00:16:15
as he drew closer he saw brian hartnell leaning his head against cecilia shepherd and swaying from side to side
00:16:24
both were soaked in blood the pair had merely been playing dead in the desperate hope their attacker would
00:16:33
leave brian explained that they had been stabbed and robbed horrified by the shocking scene
00:16:42
ronald immediately piloted his boat to the nearby resort where he was staying to alert the authorities
00:16:51
with help now on the way cecilia and brian managed to wriggle loose from their restraints
00:16:58
both struggled to remain awake as blood continued to seep from their wounds brian's hands and feet were completely
00:17:08
numb but he was able to gather enough strength to stand up he kissed cecilia telling her
00:17:17
i'm going to get help on the verge of unconsciousness brian started walking towards the road
00:17:27
instead of focusing on the realization that he could die he told himself not to give up and focused on pushing on
00:17:37
i'm not satisfied with my personal life brian thought this is no way to end it slowly pain started to slip through the
00:17:49
shark his vision soon went black and he had to lie down he made several more attempts to move
00:17:58
but eventually collapsed not far from the road all he could see were the trees around
00:18:05
him blurred into an indistinguishable haze then he heard a sound it was the engine of a truck drawing
00:18:15
closer park ranger dennis land was driving on route to the location where fisherman
00:18:24
ronald fong and his son had witnessed the young couple in terrible distress approximately 300 yards from the road
00:18:34
ranger land found brian hartnell lying in the grass his torso covered with blood ranger land helped brian to his
00:18:43
truck and brian directed him to the scene of the attack by the time ranger land reached cecilia
00:18:51
shepard she was in an immense amount of pain she had six stab wounds in her back and
00:18:58
five to her front the largest of which was ten inches long she was rocking back and forth on all
00:19:07
fours moaning he was a man with a hood his face was covered it hurts it hurts at 7 40 pm the switchboard at the napa
00:19:27
police department lit up as a call came through seventy minutes had passed since the
00:19:33
attack at lake berryessa i want to report a murder no a double murder the mail caller said calmly
00:19:45
they are two miles north of park headquarters they were in a white volkswagen kamen
00:19:50
gia the caller continued ignoring questions i'm the one that did it he then placed the receiver down instead
00:20:04
of hanging it up so the call remained connected officer david slate kept speaking into
00:20:12
his phone asking whether anyone was there but there was no reply passing traffic could be heard in the
00:20:19
background along with what sounded like female voices officer slate contacted the phone
00:20:27
operator to see if the call could be traced he was informed that the caller had used
00:20:33
a pay phone the operator would keep the line open as she attempted to find out where the call
00:20:40
had originated from meanwhile radio news reporter pat stanley was listening to his police
00:20:49
scanner for possible stories he overheard officer slate saying that a suspicious call had been made from a pay
00:20:57
phone somewhere in napa and that the caller hadn't hung up properly pat decided to drive around town looking
00:21:06
for the phone in question near a car wash on the corner of main street 27 miles from the crime scene at
00:21:15
lake berryessa he spotted a phone booth inside the payphone's receiver was dangling down
00:21:25
pat approached the phone and began shouting into the mouthpiece asking if officer slate could hear him
00:21:33
when officer slate responded that he could pat provided the location two officers were dispatched to the area
00:21:44
they didn't notice anyone suspicious nor were there any footprints or tire marks
00:21:49
nearby they photographed the phone booth and processed it as a crime scene finding
00:21:56
seven latent fingerprints three latent palm prints and one indistinct print at lake barry assa officers had found
00:22:07
brian's volkswagen parked on the side of the road a short walk from where the couple were attacked
00:22:14
its doors were locked and it didn't look as though anyone had attempted to break
00:22:19
in however someone had used a black marker to write a message on the driver's side door
00:22:28
it began with the crosshair symbol followed by the city name vallejo and a vertical rows of numbers
00:22:38
the discovering officer immediately recognized these as significant dates first was december 20 1968
00:22:47
the date that the zodiac murdered david faraday and betty lou jensen was july 4 1969 when the zodiac attacked darlene
00:22:58
ferran and michael mojo the third and final date was the current one september 27 1969
00:23:08
followed by the time of 6 30 and the words by knife upon seeing this final date the police
00:23:19
officer felt a wave of horror wash over him it seemed that cecilia shepherd and brian hartnett were the latest victims
00:23:28
of the zodiac killer his instincts were confirmed when the handwriting on the car was compared to
00:23:36
the known zodiac letters it was a match several witnesses who'd been at lake berry assad that afternoon spoke of
00:23:49
seeing a man lingering around the shoreline prior to the attack on brian and cecilia
00:23:56
police believed this was the zodiac when collated these reports depicted a heavyset white man of average height
00:24:06
wearing dark coloured clothing he had spent hours traversing the hills around knoxville road
00:24:15
it appeared that the zodiac was on the hunt for solitary vehicles parked in the area
00:24:21
he would pull up behind them then go searching for the vehicle's owners he'd first done it to the three young
00:24:29
women who went sunbathing but left without confronting them for reasons unknown he then came across clifford rayfield
00:24:39
and his son it was possible he'd left them alone after being spooked by the side of their
00:24:45
rifle or because he preferred his victims to be male female couples about 20 feet to the rear of brian's
00:24:56
volkswagen were some tyre prints believed to have been left by the zodiac's vehicle
00:25:02
at least two of the wheels had an exceptionally worn tread indicating an older poorly maintained vehicle that
00:25:10
spent a lot of time on the road latent fingerprints lifted from the exterior of the volkswagen didn't match
00:25:19
anyone in police records several distinct footprints were spotted leading to and from brian's car
00:25:29
they were approximately 13 inches long with a parallel bar tread design on both the heel and sole
00:25:38
plaster casts of matching footprints were taken throughout the area including one in the sand 100 feet from the point
00:25:46
of attack this one also showed a circular design in the instep area of the print
00:25:54
the pattern was from a wing walker shoe wing walkers were government-issued footwear worn by air force and civilian
00:26:03
personnel their design allowed the wearer to walk on airplane wings without causing damage
00:26:12
it was determined that the lake berryessa print had been made by a military-sized 10 and a half r boot
00:26:21
wing walkers were manufactured in philadelphia before being shipped to utah military bases throughout the country
00:26:29
would then place orders for the boots and sell them on site the closest base to the crime scene was
00:26:36
the travis air force base located 25 miles east of napa purchase records indicated that the base
00:26:44
had ordered and sold roughly 100 pairs of size 10 and a half boots to personnel over the past 13 months
00:26:53
unfortunately buyer's details weren't available for these sales another 500 to 1 000 pairs had also been
00:27:04
sold at the base's separate surplus store of those customers able to be traced and
00:27:11
tracked down none were arrested for crimes associated with the zodiac brian hartnell and cecilia shepard were
00:27:23
both rushed to the hospital in critical condition cecilia lapsed into a coma on the way
00:27:31
she died two days later without ever regaining consciousness but like michael majo before him
00:27:40
brian miraculously survived as he recovered detectives stood vigil outside his hospital room
00:27:49
worried that the zodiac might learn of the young man's survival and attempt to pay him a visit
00:27:57
once brian was well enough he provided a detailed account of his terrifying encounter with the zodiac killer
00:28:06
the lake berryessa stabbing was in stark contrast to his previous attacks at blue
00:28:12
rock springs park and lake hermann road which appeared to have been more opportunistic
00:28:19
michael majo said that when he and darlene were approached the killer fired into their car without saying a word
00:28:28
in the lake berryessa attack the killer had spoken openly the difficulty lay in knowing whether or
00:28:35
not to trust what he'd said the killers claimed that he'd escaped from dear lodge prison seemed like a
00:28:44
cover but police still considered whether montana could be significant to him he had also admitted to being nervous
00:28:55
was the zodiac not the confident killer he portrayed himself to be the answer to that question and many
00:29:04
others remained a mystery what was known was that he was becoming increasingly cruel and violent
00:29:12
his arsenal had increased to include a knife and robe he had made himself a striking uniform
00:29:20
which brian hartnell described as carefully sewn and meticulously placed [Music]
00:29:27
but what was the point if he didn't plan to leave survivors who could describe it
00:29:33
perhaps his motivation was to instill fear in his victims ensuring that the last thing they ever saw was a dark
00:29:42
hooded figure with a crosshair emblazoned across his chest or perhaps the outfit was linked to his
00:29:50
self-aggrandizing fantasies whatever the reason the zodiac was receiving the notoriety he craved
00:30:00
his crimes were making headlines as police chased a killer whose pattern of behavior was as unclear as his motive
00:30:09
investigators were flooded with tip-offs and struggled to keep up with leads one suspect was investigated after
00:30:18
speaking about dear lodge prison another was interviewed for having a crosshair tattoo
00:30:26
a man who was shot by police during a hostage crisis used his dying breaths to gasp
00:30:33
i'm zodiac that's me but it was later determined that he was a troubled individual struggling with
00:30:41
substance abuse psychics muddied efforts with dubious visions while the police were flooded
00:30:49
with calls from pranksters purporting to be the zodiac detectives travelled interstate examined
00:30:56
other murders for links compared handwriting samples and checked alibis as september gave way to october
00:31:06
newspapers ran frightening headlines warning of the danger this type of person could strike today
00:31:14
or tomorrow one article cautioned he's not run of the mill he's a real psychopathic killer
00:31:24
citizens were advised to steer clear of remote areas and told to travel in groups
00:31:30
couples in particular were warned to be careful meanwhile on a street corner in san
00:31:38

ends meet studying during the day and working at night was exhausting but paul was no

job from his dispatcher there was a customer waiting to be picked up at an apartment downtown on
00:36:21
9th street paul accepted the fair and began the 12-mile drive north back into the city
00:36:30
by this point it was just after 9 45 pm as he neared the intersection of mason and the giri streets in the tenderloin
00:36:40
neighborhood paul caught sight of someone waving him down he pulled over the man asked if paul could take him to
00:36:50
the intersection of washington and maple street in the affluent neighborhood of presidio heights
00:36:57
paul thought about it for a second it was approximately a three-mile trip in the same direction as 9th street
00:37:06
he figured he could drop this man off on the way and still make it to collect his
00:37:11
next passenger in time paul accepted the fair making note of it in his logbook the passenger hopped in and closed the
00:37:22
door behind him paul put his indicator on and pulled back into the street he weaved his cab through the tree-lined
00:37:32
streets of presidio heights past the stately homes the area was known for as he neared the corner of washington
00:37:41
and cherry street a block further than his passenger's original destination his cab suddenly rolled to a stop
00:37:50
the engine idled paul stein slumped down in his seat flopping towards the passenger side
00:38:00
blood snaked down his face and onto his torso the single bullet fired at close range
00:38:07
to the right side of his head had killed him instantly he didn't even have time to turn the
00:38:14
meter off sitting in the passenger seat with the body of paul stein draped across his lap
00:38:23
the zodiac killer rifled through his victim's pockets then he pulled out a piece of fabric and
00:38:30
methodically wiped down the car's interior stepping out of the vehicle he turned
00:38:37
his attention to the outside rubbing the cloth carefully across the exterior paintwork
00:38:44
satisfied with his clean up the zodiac straightened up and casually walked away down cherry street
00:38:52
what he didn't know was that he was being watched by three teenage siblings who had gathered at the upstairs window
00:39:00
of their nearby home while they didn't witness the shooting they saw what the killer did after
00:39:08
they quickly phoned police describing the perpetrator as between 35 and 45 years old about 5 foot 10 and 190 pounds
00:39:19
with a paunchy stomach and a reddish blonde crew card he was wearing horn rim dye glasses and
00:39:27
a dress done remarkably in trousers and a jacket officers donald falck and eric zelms
00:39:36
were on patrol east of presidio when they received a word of the attack and a description of the perpetrator
00:39:44
they raced towards the scene at washington and cherry keeping their eyes peeled for a suspect as described
00:39:52
they soon spotted someone a stocky middle-aged white male with a light-colored crew card
00:40:00
standing at about five foot tan the man walked slowly with his head bent down not appearing to be in any hurry
00:40:10
curiously he matched the suspect's description to a t except that he was white the dispatcher had specifically said the
00:40:21
offender was a black male as the man didn't fit the profile officers falc and his arms continued on
00:40:32
upon arriving at the crime scene officers found paul stein lying in a semi-supine position across the front
00:40:39
seat with his head resting on the floor both he and the front compartment of the
00:40:46
cab were soaked in blood the three teenage siblings who had witnessed the aftermath of the shooting
00:40:54
were interviewed at the scene when they described the attacker as a white male the questioning officer was
00:41:01
confused weren't they on the lookout for a black suspect realising the dispatcher had made a
00:41:10
grave error the officer immediately radioed in to have the broadcast corrected he then walked north along cherry street
00:41:19
eyes peeled for anyone who looked like the shooter but the streets were quiet not only was there no one who matched
00:41:28
the suspect's description there weren't even any witnesses around to question continuing east along jackson street the
00:41:38
officer passed a man out walking his dog but didn't see anyone else noteworthy when word raged officers donald fark and
00:41:48
eric zelms that the shooter was actually a white male they were stunned they had just passed by a man who
00:41:57
matched the perpetrator's description in every way other than the colour of his skin
00:42:03
realising they might have inadvertently driven right by the killer officer fauc sped off towards the presidio war
00:42:10
playground believing the man probably headed there after turning onto maple street
00:42:17
the area was surrounded by dense foliage officer falc couldn't see anything through the dark
00:42:27
a large-scale search commenced a spotlight scan to the darkened streets alleyways and parklands as police swarm
00:42:36
to the area in patrol cars and on motorbikes some paced the streets with sniffer dogs
00:42:43
in tow but the killer was long gone paul stein's logbook indicated that the killer's destination had been the corner
00:42:54
of washington and maple street the intersection was guarded by high trees that obstructed the views from
00:43:02
residential windows making it a safe place to pull off the murder without witnesses
00:43:09
it was also only one block from the presidio war playground which would have provided a quick escape route
00:43:17
however the location where paul's cab was found was one block further west in a more exposed spot further from the
00:43:26
park police wondered if paul had perhaps overshot the intersection and the killer
00:43:32
asked him to pull over at the next corner or maybe the shooter saw an unexpected
00:43:39
witness at the original destination and changed his mind at the last moment another possibility was that paul had
00:43:48
still been driving when he was shot forcing the gunman to take control of the vehicle as it careened out of
00:43:55
control there was very little evidence to help identify the suspect yet police had a couple of clues to go
00:44:05
on despite the killer's attempts to wipe the cab clean of evidence several latent
00:44:12
bloody fingerprints were lifted from the exterior of the vehicle a pair of men's size 7 black leather
00:44:19
gloves were also found inside the cab these didn't belong to paul examination of a spent winchester
00:44:28
western bullet casing found on the passenger seat confirmed that had been shot from a nine millimeter
00:44:34
semi-automatic pistol the killer had also taken paul's wallet and car keys before fleeing the scene
00:44:44
this indicated to police that the shooting was nothing more than a violent robbery and there was no reason to
00:44:50
believe otherwise the three teenagers who'd seen the killer worked with a police artist to
00:44:58
create a suspect sketch officer falck later helped complete a second composite based on the man he'd
00:45:06
passed near the crime scene the two faces were remarkably similar soon both were on display in police
00:45:16
stations across the state printed side by side on wanted posters [Music] two days after paul's murder carol
00:45:28
fisher kotz was sitting at her desk at the san francisco chronicle newspaper she worked as the letters editor and it
00:45:37
was her job to sort through correspondence sent by readers as she flicked through the mail that had
00:45:44
arrived that day she spotted an unusual envelope in the top left hand corner where a
00:45:51
return address was usually printed someone had drawn a small crosshair symbol carol opened the envelope and to
00:46:02
her alarm a strip of bloodied cloth fell out onto the desk she looked inside the envelope and saw a
00:46:10
single sheet of paper it was a brief handwritten letter that read this is the zodiac speaking
00:46:21
i am the murderer of the taxi driver over by washington and maple street last night to prove this here is a
00:46:29
blood-stained piece of his shirt i am the same man who did in the people in the north bay area
00:46:38
the san francisco police could have caught me last night if they had searched the park properly instead of
00:46:44
holding road races with their motorcycles seeing who could make the most noise the car drivers should have just parked
00:46:52
their cars and sat there quietly waiting for me to come out of cover school children make nice targets
00:47:01
i think i shall wipe out a school bus some morning just shoot out the front tire and then
00:47:07
pick off the kitties as they come bouncing out the letter was signed off with the same
00:47:16
crosshair symbol that appeared on the envelope law enforcement officials were notified
00:47:22
about the zodiac's latest confession and took possession of the letter given that paul stein's murder had been
00:47:30
classed as a violent robbery detectives hadn't considered any links to the zodiac
00:47:36
killer so far he'd only confessed to murders involving young couples in isolated locales
00:47:45
because the zodiac had been particularly brutal towards his female victims criminal analysts theorized that he had
00:47:54
a particular hatred for young women a male cab driver killed at work didn't fit with his mo
00:48:04
additionally detectives weren't even aware that a piece of paul stein's shirt was missing
00:48:11
no one had noticed this detail when bagging his clothing as evidence they recovered paul's shirt from the
00:48:18
morgue and compared it to the strip of bloodied cloth sent to the chronicle it was a perfect match
00:48:27
however it appeared the killer had taken more fabric that was still unaccounted for
00:48:36
a handwriting expert for the fbi compared this letter with the others sent by the zodiac killer
00:48:43
and deemed that all had likely been written by the same person [Music] with another zodiac murder confirmed
00:48:54
criminal analysts now had more information to work with they noticed how the killer's letters
00:49:01
were peppered with misspelled words and grammatical errors he seemed intelligent so these mistakes
00:49:08
suggested he lacked a formal education though it was also possible he was deliberately making mistakes just to
00:49:17
throw authorities off track another common thread was the fact that all of his crimes seemed to occur by
00:49:25
bodies of water or in places with water themed names none of his crimes appeared personally
00:49:34
motivated it seemed that all victims had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong
00:49:40
time this was extremely concerning given that the window between his attacks was
00:49:46
narrowing after shooting david faraday and betty lou jensen almost seven months passed
00:49:54
before the zodiac killer struck again then there were only three months between his attacks against michael majo
00:50:02
and darlene ferran and brian hartnell and cecilia shepard paul stein's attack came exactly two
00:50:11
weeks later if he continued following this pattern it seemed likely that another murder was
00:50:19
imminent when newspapers reported on the zodiac's latest letter they strategically
00:50:27
declined to mention the threat he'd made about killing school children california's residents were panicked
00:50:34
enough and they didn't want the zodiac to get any more satisfaction that all changed on october 16 five days
00:50:44
after paul stein's murder when the los angeles times decided to make the detail public
00:50:51
as expected the result was widespread panic on the afternoon of october 20 a couple
00:51:02
was out walking with their eight-year-old daughter in the northern california town of ukya
00:51:09
as the trio strolled along the quiet back road of lake mendocino drive a light-colored car drove by
00:51:18
the driver threw a twig out the window towards them attached was a piece of paper
00:51:26
written on it in crude handwriting were the words you're next zee the following day a san francisco bay
00:51:37
area newspaper received a phone call from someone claiming to be the zodiac he issued a harrowing warning
00:51:47
he was planning to shoot children as they traveled on school buses both incidents were reported and law
00:51:56
enforcement agencies were immediately on high alert the police and california's highway
00:52:02
patrol began surveilling all school buses in the area some even had officers on board ready to
00:52:10
respond if necessary but there were no attacks it was becoming abundantly clear that
00:52:20
the media obsession had spurred hoaxes and attention seekers into action prompting false confessions and copycats
00:52:29
some individuals developed an unhealthy fixation with the case including one man from montana who was
00:52:37
convinced he was going to be a victim i left california because it got too hot for me an individual claiming to be the
00:52:47
zodiac told an oklahoma radio program the zodiac was a title many were willing to adopt for their own reasons
00:52:57
while the actual killer remained silent to coax the zodiac killer out of hiding california's attorney general appealed
00:53:08
for him to come forward by promising to provide help and protection editors at the san francisco examiner
00:53:16
also ran a direct message to the zodiac on the paper's front page it read in part
00:53:24
[Music] five people are dead let there be no more killings you are being hunted everywhere in the
00:53:32
state and nation you are alone in this world you can share your secrets with no one
00:53:41
we ask that you give yourself up to the examiner we offer you no protection and no
00:53:48
sympathy but we do offer you fair treatment the assurance of medical help and the full
00:53:54
benefits of your legal rights and we offer to tell your story there was no response
00:54:06
paul stein's brother joe also directly addressed the zodiac when he offered himself up as bait
00:54:14
joe was sure that he could take the killer down explaining that he was an army and air force veteran capable of
00:54:21
overpowering a coward like the zodiac even without a weapon giving specific details as to where the
00:54:30
killer could find him joe said i work at the ritchfield service station at 706 sutter street in modesto
00:54:41
i start at 7 am i go to lunch at the walk-in chicken in a shopping center two blocks away
00:54:49
riding a bicycle along sutter street and leaving the station at noon each day i go back to the service station and
00:54:59
work until five let him come and get me other residents and business owners in the neighborhood were less than thrilled
00:55:10
about joe's challenge they feared it would draw the serial killer to their community and place them
00:55:17
in danger however their concern was unwarranted the zodiac didn't take joe up on his
00:55:26
offer on the night of saturday october 18 a lone car sat in the parking lot of vallejo's blue rock springs park
00:55:39
close by to where darlene ferran and michael mojo had been shot it was nearing 2am when a second vehicle
00:55:48
approached in 1964 greenish grey chevrolet station wagon pulled into the parking lot and
00:55:57
drove towards the other car the chevrolet stopped and its engine switched off a middle-aged man of average height and
00:56:08
build exited the vehicle he walked right up to the neighboring car just then two undercover officers sprang into
00:56:19
action they had planted the first car there as bait hoping to lure the zodiac into
00:56:26
attempting another attack their plan appeared to have worked but the driver of the chevrolet
00:56:33
explained that he was a navy employee stationed on treasure island in san francisco
00:56:40
he was on his way to lake berryassar but had gotten lost upon seeing the car at blue rock springs
00:56:48
park he'd decided to ask for directions with no reason to doubt him the officers
00:56:56
let the man go and resumed their covert positions they stayed there for the rest of the
00:57:03
night but nobody else approached the bait car the zodiac clearly wasn't falling for it
00:57:12
despite their initial hope the tactic was unsuccessful and no further stakeouts were planned
00:57:22
investigators turned their focus to the guns used during the attacks in total the killer had used three
00:57:30
different firearms a 22-caliber weapon had been used on david and betty lou while two different nine millimeter
00:57:39
weapons were used during the attacks on michael and darlene and paul stein the one used to kill paul was a
00:57:48
semi-automatic that required ammunition only available from specialized gun dealers
00:57:54
[Music] only 143 nine millimeter firearms similar to those used in the zodiac attacks had been sold in san francisco
00:58:05
over the last three years investigators hunted down the buyer's gun applications and compared their
00:58:13
handwriting to that on the zodiac letters no matches were found it was close to midnight on tuesday
00:58:24
october 21 1969 when a phone rang at oakland police department 12 and a half miles east of san francisco
00:58:34
an officer answered and was greeted by a male on the other line who introduced himself as the zodiac killer
00:58:43
he then made a strange request he wanted one of two specific defense attorneys to appear on san francisco
00:58:52
talk show the jim dunbar show the following morning if this request was granted the caller
00:59:00
said he would be open to negotiating live on air to prove he was genuine he provided
00:59:07
knowledge about the zodiac case that police deemed to be legitimate [Music] investigators agreed to the caller's
00:59:17
demands one of the attorneys he wanted to speak to was melvin bellaire he was famous for defending jack ruby an
00:59:26
american nightclub owner who killed presidential assassin lee harvey oswald bellai agreed to appear on the show
00:59:37
the next morning the jim dunbar show went live to air at seven o'clock all the other guests on the show were
00:59:45
cancelled as dunbar and bellai made small talk after 49 minutes the phone finally rang
00:59:54
the caller identified himself as the zodiac but bellai asked for another name they
01:00:01
could use he told them to call him sam talk to us just tell us what's going on in inside you right now sam

the roof of a hotel unless bellai agreed to meet him there while off air bellaire convinced sam to
01:04:43
meet him elsewhere they arranged to meet at 10 30 that morning at the saint vincent de paul's
01:04:50
office building on mission street bellai and dunbar went to the location with high hopes
01:04:58
word about the meeting got out and camera crews and curious onlookers flocked to the area hoping to witness
01:05:05
some action the police arrived half an hour later but the zodiac never showed up
01:05:14
recordings of the calls were played to three people who had heard the zodiac's voice
01:05:20
these were lake berryessa survivor brian hartnell and the two police dispatchers
01:05:25
nancy slova and david slade none of them thought sam sounded like the zodiac with no evidence to convince them
01:05:36
otherwise police suspected that the calls had been a hoax on saturday november 8 another envelope
01:05:46
arrived at the san francisco chronicle with the words please rush to the editor written on both sides
01:05:54
it had been almost four weeks since the zodiac had made contact he was now attempting to be funny by
01:06:02
submitting a greeting card that parodied a popular television commercial of the time
01:06:09
on the front was an illustration of a fountain pen dripping in blood and inside was a cipher with 340 different
01:06:17
characters accompanying the card was a handwritten letter that read this is the zodiac speaking
01:06:27
i thought you would need a good laugh before you hear the bad news you won't get the news for a while yet
01:06:36
p.s could you print this new cipher on your front page i get awfully lonely when i am ignored
01:06:43
so lonely i could do my thing it was signed with the zodiac's crosshair symbol followed by the words
01:06:53
december july august september october equals seven this final line was explained the very
01:07:04
next day when the san francisco chronicle received another letter that began this is the zodiac speaking
01:07:14
up to the end of october i have killed seven people i have grown rather angry with the
01:07:21
police for their telling lies about me so i shall change the way the collecting of slaves
01:07:29
i shall no longer announce to anyone when i commit my murders they shall look like routine robberies killings of anger
01:07:38
and a few fake accidents etc the police shall never catch me because i have been too clever for them
01:07:46
[Music] the zodiac's claim that he'd killed seven people was confusing as he was
01:07:54
only known to have taken the lives of five victims he went on to boast that he avoided
01:08:00
detection by wearing a disguise and coating his fingertips with aeroplane cement while committing his crimes
01:08:08
he also claimed to have wiped paul stein's cab down to leave the police with false clues
01:08:16
then detailed a supposed encounter he'd had with two officers near the scene quote cops pulled a goof about three
01:08:26
minutes after i left the cab i was walking down the hill to the park when this cop car pulled up and one of
01:08:33
them called me over and asked if i saw anyone acting suspicious or strange in the last five to ten minutes
01:08:42
and i said yes there was this man who was running by waving a gun and the cops peeled rubber and went
01:08:50
around the corner as i directed them and i disappeared into the park a block and a half away never to be seen again
01:08:58
[Music] hey pig doesn't it roll you up to have your nose rubbed in your boo-boos
01:09:06
[Music] the letter droned on for six pages towards the end the zodiac provided accurate bomb making instructions along
01:09:16
with an illustration of a homemade incendiary device he warned he was going to use this
01:09:23
contraption to blow up a bus adding that he could be storing it in his basement or at the site where he
01:09:30
intended to detonate on his trademark crosshair symbol the zodiac had added small x's at various
01:09:39
points of the circle which were believed to indicate various times of day editors for the san francisco chronicle
01:09:48
published excerpts from the two most recent letters but decided to omit the bomb threat for fear it would lead to
01:09:55
panic they also published the new cipher included with the greeting card which was named the 340 cipher
01:10:05
it was a different code altogether from the original 408 cipher and the editors hoped that amateur code breakers would
01:10:13
be able to crack this one too it was also forwarded to professional cryptologists at the fbi headquarters
01:10:21
the national security agency and the central intelligence agency but no one was able to break the code
01:10:33
in december 1969 defense lawyer melvin bellaire traveled to the german city of munich to attend a conference
01:10:42
while he was away his housekeeper back in san francisco forwarded all correspondents to his office so his
01:10:49
employees could check for important documents when they returned to work after the
01:10:56
christmas break they discovered an envelope postmarked december 20. scribbled on the back in poor spelling
01:11:04
was the message merry christmas and new year one of bellai's colleagues opened the
01:11:12
envelope inside was a blood-stained scrap of fabric along with a neatly handwritten
01:11:19
letter that read dear melvin this is the zodiac speaking i wish you a happy christmas
01:11:29
the one thing i ask of you is this please help me i cannot reach out for help because this
01:11:36
thing in me won't let me i am finding it extremely difficult to hold it in check
01:11:44
i am afraid i will lose control again and take my ninth and possibly tenth victim
01:11:51
please help me i am drowning at the moment the children are safe from the bomb because it is so massive to dig
01:12:00
in and the trigger mechanism required much work to get it adjusted just right but if i hold back too long from number
01:12:10
nine i will lose all control of myself and set the bomb up please help me i cannot remain in control for much
01:12:19
longer the envelope and its contents were passed along to authorities who determined that the bloody fabric was
01:12:29
another piece of paul stein's shirt this along with the fact that the zodiac's bomb threat hadn't been
01:12:37
released to the public convinced them that the letter was genuine although it was significantly neater
01:12:45
than the others leading some to believe that the zodiac wanted to impress bellai
01:12:53
it was difficult to tell whether the zodiac was being sincere or sarcastic in his cries for help
01:13:00
up until this point he'd portrayed himself as a dangerous man not to be messed with
01:13:06
but now he was coming across as vulnerable and desperate it was also unclear what he wanted
01:13:13
belair to do with this information as he hadn't specifically requested psychiatric or legal help
01:13:21
but the letter raised an even bigger question at this point the zodiac had been linked
01:13:28
to five murders those of betty lou jensen david faraday darlene farren cecilia shepherd and paul
01:13:36
stein so who were the three other victims he was referring to were there more victims investigators
01:13:46
hadn't yet linked him to or was he simply taunting them bellai appealed for the zodiac to make
01:13:55
further contact via an article in the san francisco chronicle he offered to meet anywhere the zodiac
01:14:02
wanted and agreed to any demands on january 14 1970 the phone rang at bellai's home in san francisco
01:14:18
he was still overseas so his housekeeper took the call [Music] it was sam the same man who had called
01:14:26
the jim dunbar show claiming to be the zodiac when he was told the lawyer wasn't
01:14:33
available sam replied i can't wait it's my birthday he then hung up the phone almost a month later on february 5 sam
01:14:48
called jim dunbar again police were alerted and jim tried to keep sam talking while detectives raced
01:14:56
to the studios to listen in by the time they arrived sam had hung up the call hadn't been long enough to be
01:15:05
traced the calls from sam also continued at melvin bellaire's residence so the fbi
01:15:14
set up a trace on the line one call was eventually traced back to a mental health facility in oakland
01:15:23
it had been made by an in-patient named eric wheel who was an amateur photographer from the san francisco bay
01:15:30
area recordings of wheels voice were played to those who had heard the real zodiac
01:15:37
speak including lake berryessa survivor brian hartnell and none thought they were the same
01:15:44
person regardless weir was interviewed extensively and also provided fingerprints and handwriting samples
01:15:55
investigators confirmed he was responsible for the hoax phone calls to the police department the jim dunbar
01:16:02
show and marvin beller's residents but he was ultimately ruled out as a suspect in the zodiac killings
01:16:11
the real zodiac never responded to bellaire's public offer of assistance [Music]
01:16:19
as news of the zodiac continued to dominate headlines in california los angeles resident donald chaney
01:16:26
couldn't shake an uneasy feeling he'd recently been plagued by the memory of something that happened a couple of
01:16:34
years earlier and it was eating at his every thought in january of 1968 donald had been on a
01:16:43
hunting trip with a friend the two were chatting about a science fiction story when all of a sudden
01:16:50
donald's friend turned to him and asked have you ever thought of hunting people [Music]
01:16:58
as donald tried to process this disturbing question his friend began describing the way he would carry out
01:17:05
such an attack he would go to a lover's lane armed with a revolver or pistol that was fitted
01:17:12
with an aiming device and flashlight he would then approach anyone in the vicinity and start shooting
01:17:20
alternatively he would shoot the tyres of a school bus and then shoot each child as they came bouncing out of the
01:17:27
bus the crimes would have no motive making it difficult for investigators to catch
01:17:34
him to amuse himself he would then taunt detectives by sending them letters filled with the red herrings
01:17:43
while this information alone was enough to haunt donald there was one detail in particular that had his head spinning
01:17:52
his friend had said he would sign the letters with a name he'd taken a particular liking to
01:17:59
