Imagine a man who killed 37 people, and sent a letter to a newspaper revealing his name… yet the identity of this person still remains a complete mystery. On this episode of Serial Unsolved Ciphers we explore the mystery of the Zodiac Killer, a murderer who attacked during the 1960s in Northern California. We delve into the ciphers themselves, including how one of them was broken by two high school teachers. We, explore who the Zodiac Killer could be, why the second cipher is unsolved, and even talk about the popularity of Zodiac Killer in today’s society.
