December 20, 1968. Two teenagers are shot dead on a quiet road outside Benicia, California, and the case that will consume investigators for six decades begins without anyone knowing it. This episode follows the Zodiac Killer's first year of confirmed attacks — from Lake Herman Road through Blue Rock Springs, Lake Berryessa, and the cab murder of Paul Stine in Presidio Heights — tracing not just the violence but the deliberate architecture behind it.

What makes this chapter essential is what the killer chose to do between the attacks. A phone call to Vallejo police claiming credit. Dates carved onto a car door at the water's edge. A piece of Paul Stine's bloodied shirt mailed not to law enforcement but to the San Francisco Chronicle. These weren't acts of panic. They were decisions made by someone building a public identity in real time.

The episode also examines how three separate California counties — Solano, Napa, and San Francisco — each held their own piece of the case in isolation, and how that fragmented jurisdiction gave the killer room to operate. By the time investigators understood they were looking at one perpetrator, five people were dead and the letters had already started arriving.

This is the foundation of the Zodiac case: the confirmed victims, the surviving witnesses, and the communications apparatus the killer constructed around the murders. Understanding this year means understanding every suspect, every cipher, and every dead end that follows.
