from Madness and Murder · host Danielle French

Author: Willa SabelkoDescription: The infamous Zodiac Killer was a serial killer in the Bay Area in the late 1960s who claimed to "like killing people because it's so much fun." There are five confirmed victims, but the killer claimed to have killed 37, and some say it may have been even more. The case has never been solved despite the many arguments made and evidence found against more than one suspect. This episode focuses on the evidence against the police's only named suspect, Arthur Leigh Allen. Since the case is unsolved, victims and their families have never gotten justice, and a killer walked free.Sources:Netflix - "This is the Zodiac Speaking"Links to an external site. Britannica - Zodiac killer.TODAY.com - Who was Arthur Leigh Allen?
