Five confirmed murders. Twenty-two known communications. Four ciphers — two still unsolved. And a piece of DNA evidence locked in police storage that no one will test. This episode of California's Unsolved takes stock of everything the Zodiac case contains and confronts the uncomfortable truth: the evidence almost answers the question, but almost is not enough.
From the first shooting on Lake Herman Road in December 1968 to the execution of taxi driver Paul Stine in San Francisco's Presidio Heights ten months later, this chapter traces the confirmed killings in sequence — the teenagers at Benicia, the Fourth of July attack at Blue Rock Springs, the hooded assault at Lake Berryessa that left Cecelia Shepard dead and Bryan Hartnell able to describe his attacker in chilling detail. Each crime scene left threads. None of them closed.
The ciphers defined the case in the public imagination. The 408 fell to a Salinas schoolteacher and his wife in 1969. The 340 resisted every attempt for fifty-one years until David Oranchak, Sam Blake, and Jarl Van Eycke cracked it in December 2020 using a complex transposition method no prior attempt had identified. The decoded text revealed psychology, not identity. Two ciphers remain locked.
Meanwhile, the Zodiac was running a deliberate media operation — seventeen of his twenty-two known letters went directly to the San Francisco Chronicle, not to police. He understood the press and used it. That strategy shaped the investigation, the public panic, and the mythology that has kept this case alive for six decades.
This is where the case stands. Not closed. Not cold. Just locked.
