Episode 38 The State of DNA in the Zodiac caseIn this episode, Mike Morford discusses the state of DNA in the Zodiac case with DNA analyst and Lab Director of Pure Gold Forensics, Suzanna Ryan. Mike & Suzanna review the evidence in both confirmed and possible Zodiac crimes, and what clues any DNA left behind by the killer(s) may help solve the case(s) once and for all. Suzanna compares the most modern DNA examination techniques to those that were available to investigators even just a decade ago. Can evidene be re-examined for clues that weren't found previously; clues that may one day ID the Zodiac? Suzanna's insights may surprise listeners causing them to re-evaluate what they thought they knew about the confirmed and possible Zodiac crimes.

Episode 24 The Eureka CardIn December, 1990, a greeting card with a snow man on the cover was mailed from Eureka, CA to the editor of the SF Chronicle. Inside was a photocopy of 2 keys attached to what appears to be a penlight. For some reason, the card was put on a shelf and forgotten for years until the 2007 movie, Zodiac was released. The movie prompted SF Chronicle staff to look at all of the stuff that they had received over the years that might be related to the case. That's when they discovered the 1990 Eureka card that had been stored away years earlier, and it turns out that they may have been in possession of a correspondence from the Zodiac Killer for years. The find led to many questions, a potential suspect, and debate as to whether the card was really from Zodiac.

Episode 13 Cheri Jo Bates Part 1On November 16th, 1970, SF Chronicle reporter Paul Avery ran an article in the newspaper linking the Zodiac to the October 30, 1966 murder of 18 year-old Cheri Jo Bates in Riverside, CA over 400 miles South. Although he stayed silent at first, the Bay area serial killer finally admitted to being responsible for Cheri's murder and credited police for stumbling onto his 'Riverside Activity'. But was the Zodiac actually involved in Cheri's murder?

Episode 12 1978 to 2001Although the Zodiac's last official confirmed letter was mailed in 1974, from 1978-2001, a steady flow of unconfirmed, and possibly hoaxed letters continued to come in. Crimes that bore a similar MO to the serial killer were often blamed on him.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:https://zodiackiller.net/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

Episode 11 1974In January, 1974, the Zodiac Killer broke his silence of almost 3 years mailing several new letters in the SF Bay area before his last known confirmed letter in July of that year. During his absence, people wondered and theorized about what might have happened to the bay area killer to make him go silent. Once he returned, it wasn't long before other bay area crimes were pinned on him.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:https://zodiackiller.net/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

Episode 9 The Mystery of the Missing NurseOn September 6th, 1970, well over 100 miles North East of Zodiac's stomping grounds, 25 year old South Lake Tahoe nurse, Donna Lass went to work her shift at the Sahara Hotel-Casino just a few miles away. During her overnight shift at the casino, Donna Lass vanished. The next day, an unidentified man called Donna's landlord, and her employer to let them know that Donna had gone home to SD for a family emergency, but the call turned out to be a hoax, and Donna Lass has never been seen again. It wasn't long before a possible Zodiac correspondence was mailed hinting at responsibility for Donna's disappearance. In this episode, we discuss the Donna Lass case, as well as other suspicious, and possible Zodiac activity around the same timeframe.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

Episode 8 Mount Diablo, The Mikado, and more Mysterious MailingsThroughout 1970, the Zodiac continued to mail taunting letters, notes, and codes- some of it referenced Mount Diablo, and the Gilbert & Sullivan production, The Mikado. Meanwhile, in the SF Bay area and beyond, multiple letters and threats, though unconfirmed to be Zodiac, were quickly attributed to him.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

Episode 7 The Spring of 1970The Spring of 1970 was a busy one for Zodiac, or at least it may have been. With the possible March abduction of a young Mother named Kathleen Johns and her daughter in Stanislaus County, as well as the sadistic April murder of lamp designer Robert Salem in San Francisco, the police were kept busy. Capping it off was a 13 character cipher from Zodiac that has yet to be solved to this day.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

Episode 6 'December 1969'In December, 1969, a flurry of confirmed and unconfirmed Zodiac correspondences, in both California, and beyond, came in. Some of them seemed to link to the mysterious death of 16 year-old Leona Roberts. 50+ years later, we are still trying to figure out if all of these correspondences in December, 1969, can be directly attributed to the Zodiac Killer.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

Episode 5 A Bus Bomb and PoisonFollowing Zodiac's last confirmed murder of Paul Stine, he promised to terrorize the SF Bay area using various methods and making the crimes he committed seem random. He threated to use a bomb, but never carried out his threat. However, other possible crimes in the Bay area may have been the work of Zodiac, such as the stalking and attempted poisoning of school teacher Daniel Williams in Contra Costa County.
