Ever since the advent of streaming services, the home media market has found itself inundated with an endless supply of documentaries, many of which, if we're being brutally honest, aren't all that good. It's hard to blame anyone for that; after all, it's clear as day that the public has an endless desire for true crime content, and they're willing to consume anything to scratch that itch. The good news is that Netflix's This Is the Zodiac Speaking bucks that trend by actually being informative and well-made. The even better news is that, for fans of David Fincher's Zodiac, it's a must-watch.

This three-episode docuseries, directed by Ari Mark and Phil Lott, examines precisely what you think it does: the 1960s murders committed by a serial killer who dubbed himself "the Zodiac." Zodiac smartly focuses its efforts on one man: Arthur Leigh Allen, the very same individual that...

Revelations include unsettling accounts from family friends, who say Allen even took them to the very locations where Zodiac attacks occurred, blurring the lines between his public life as a teacher and the shadows of his suspected crimes.

The documentary also revisits the investigation through the lens of Zodiac, David Finchers acclaimed 2007 film, which raised awareness of Allen's possible involvement.

The Zodiac Killer is one of the most infamous and mysterious serial killers in American history, responsible for a series of brutal murders in Northern California between 1968 and 1969, explored once again in Netflix's new docuseries This Is the Zodiac Speaking. He claimed multiple victims and terrorized the public by sending cryptic letters and ciphers to local newspapers, taunting law enforcement with threats and demands. Despite numerous investigations and a few suspects, including Arthur Leigh Allen, the true identity of the Zodiac Killer remains unsolved.

The confirmed murders attributed to the Zodiac Killer include two attacks on couples in remote areas and the fatal shooting of a cab driver in San Francisco. Beyond these five cases, the Zodiac Killer suggested in his letter ciphers that he had killed many more people, though police were unable to verify these claims with concrete evidence. Some experts believe the Zodiac may have been...

Netflix's shocking new documentary This Is The Zodiac Speaking offers new and persuasive evidence that chief suspect Arthur Leigh Allen was, in fact, the real Zodiac killer. Centered around the new testimony of the Seawater family, who knew Allen well, the documentary reveals that not only were the Seawater children with Allen at or around some of the Zodiac's crime scenes, the eldest brother, David, insists that Allen confessed to him in a phone call that he was, indeed, the mysterious killer.

David's story is compelling, but not decisive. There are several strong arguments to suggest that Allen was not the Zodiac; for instance, DNA samples taken from the killer's letters and envelopes did not match Allen's; Bryan C Hartnell, one of only two victims to survive a Zodiac attack, gave the authorities a very different description of his...

Netflix's explosive new documentary This is The Zodiac Speaking reveals previously unknown evidence surrounding the man police have long suspected to be the murderer, Arthur Leigh Allen. Allen's untimely death in 1992, at the age of 58, appeared to put an end to the case, with the killer's identity unsolved. The Zodiac Killer had seven confirmed killings between 1969 and 1974 in the era of serial killers. Still, he is a unique figure in American crime for the letters he sent to police and the media after each killing. The Zodiac Killer's letters contained ciphers full of astrological symbols, which, he insisted, would expose him if solved.

Throughout the 1970s, and until his death, Allen was the police's only named suspect for the Zodiac Killer murders; they connected Allen to the killings through largely circumstantial evidence and a tenuous link to the first victim,...

What was the Zodiac killer’s motive?

The mysterious case of the Zodiac Killer has baffled experts and investigators for over five decades, remaining unsolved to this day. Despite numerous efforts to crack the case, no significant clues have emerged that could lead to the identification of the killer. One of the key challenges in unraveling the mystery lies in the contradicting descriptions provided by witnesses, which greatly vary when it comes to the physical attributes of the murderer. Additionally, the ballistic evidence and fingerprints collected from the crime scenes do not definitively point to a single individual committing the crimes. While the globally accepted theory pointed to a single killer, the inconsistencies in witness testimonies and forensic evidence cast doubt on this hypothesis.

The story of the Zodiac Killer gained widespread attention, particularly due to his chilling portrayal in David Fincher’s film Zodiac, which depicted the horrifying murders associated with the killer. There are also...

By now, just about everyone has heard of the Zodiac Killer, the serial murderer that stalked necking teens in Northern California during the 1960s. Anyone with even a passing interest in true crime — or folks familiar with David Fincher’s 2007 film Zodiac — will recognize the artist’s sketches of the perpetrator, the cryptogram letters sent to police, the weird costume worn by the killer, and the iconic crosshair emblem associated with the case. Over the years, law enforcement, amateur sleuths and countless documentaries have proposed various suspects as to the identity of the still-at-large killer.

Myth of the Zodiac Killer, the new Peacock documentary debuting on July 11, posits a new theory: the Zodiac never existed at all. The hypothesis is the brainchild of English professor Thomas Horan, an amateur detective, linguistics expert and fan of floral shirts. (He never appears in anything else in the series.) Over the course of two hours,...

Peacock’s new true crime documentary series Myth of the Zodiac Killer reexamines the evidence collected, including the letters and cryptograms, using new technology. The trailer for the two-part docuseries reveals investigators will be using AI to help figure out if all of the correspondence was, in fact, written by just one individual.

Peacock offers this description of the docuseries premiering on Tuesday, July 11, 2023: “The identity of the serial killer known as ‘The Zodiac’ has been confounding investigators for nearly fifty years, but an unlikely and unconventional theorist may have finally shed light to America’s most famous cold case by asking a question that no one else has ever dared ask: what if the reason the Zodiac has never been caught…is because he never existed in the first place?”

Andrew Nock directed the documentary series and serves as an executive producer along with David Karabinas, Brad Bernstein,...
