In Part Two, we wrap up the Zodiac Killer case. In this episode, we explore the suspects who have been investigated over the years, break down the psychology behind serial killers, and discuss what type of offender the Zodiac may have been. We also dive into the many theories surrounding the case and share our thoughts. And most importantly, we take a moment to remember the victims and acknowledge the families who have lived with the weight of this case for decades.

In this two-part series, in Part One we break down the chilling beginnings of the Zodiac Killer case. We cover the known crimes, the victims whose lives were taken far too soon, and the letters that turned this case into a national obsession. From cryptic ciphers to taunting messages sent directly to the media, we walk through how one unidentified killer was able to spread fear across California and leave behind one of the most haunting mysteries in true crime history.

In the New Mexico desert, a man named David Parker Ray hid a nightmare behind closed doors—a place he chillingly called his “toy box.” What happened inside that trailer remains one of the most disturbing mysteries in true crime, with stories so dark they still unsettle investigators today. With the help of Cindy Hendy, Ray is believed to have preyed on countless victims, many of whom may never be identified. It’s a case defined not just by what we know, but by what may never be uncovered.

In this episode, we cover the long awaited capture of the Golden State Killer and the decades long investigation that led to his identification. From the use of genetic genealogy to finally put a name to the crimes, to the ethical questions surrounding that method, we break down how this case was ultimately solved. We also walk through the emotional courtroom moments where victims were given the opportunity to share their statements, despite there being no trial due to a plea deal and COVID.

After years of silence, the victims were finally able to be heard—and their stories will always matter.

In this episode, we break down the horrific timeline of the Golden State Killer’s crimes and the victims whose lives were forever changed. From burglaries to brutal assaults and murders across California in the 1970s and 1980s, we walk through how the crimes unfolded, how investigators began connecting the cases, and the growing fear that spread through entire communities.

Before the killer had a name, there were victims and their stories deserve to be remembered.

For years, Israel Keyes traveled quietly across the United States, hiding a terrifying secret. He buried “kill kits” in remote locations, chose victims at random, and vanished without leaving patterns for investigators to follow. His carefully controlled double life finally collapsed in 2012 after the abduction and murder of Samantha Koenig —revealing a methodical predator whose full list of victims may never be known.

On September 1990. Sixteen-year-old Colleen Walker-Craig disappears after a party in Bowraville, Australia. Police tell her family she probably "ran away."

What happened in those early morning hours has divided a community and turned this case into one of the most explosive courtroom battles in Massachusetts.
