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.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Zodiac terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area and demanded attention through chilling communications with the press and police. His identity remains one of true crime’s most debated mysteries. The 2018 arrest of Golden State Killer Joseph DeAngelo renewed hope that even decades-old cases could yield answers. Could investigators finally unmask the Zodiac? Join Nic and the Captain in the Garage as we trace the timeline of Zodiac’s confirmed attacks, examine the evidence, and offer our speculation and insights along the way. Grab a chair.

2026/10/07

The Zodiac Killer? /// Part 2 /// 961 Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com The Zodiac Killer remains officially unidentified, making his string of crimes one of the most infamous cold cases in American history. Operating primarily in Northern California between 1968 and 1969, the killer came to symbolize a unique brand of public terror. The Zodiac operated with an almost supernatural ability to evade capture. So who is the Zodiac Killer? This week Eddie McNamara joins Nic in the Garage to discuss his new book that revives an old Zodiac theory. The book is titled Zodiactually: the real story of a fake serial killer. The book is a fantastic read and the Garage conversation about one of America most intriguing serial cases is equally fascinating.
