Plus, new developments have been made in the cruise ship death of teen cheerleader Anna Kepner, who was reportedly found stuffed under the bed in her cabin. No arrests have been made, but newly revealed text messages could change everything, and you'll see them here.

In this deep-dive episode of The Redacted Report, host Brian cuts through fifty years of myth, speculation, and misinformation surrounding America's most infamous unidentified killer. This is the Zodiac story told without sensationalism—an investigation grounded in confirmed facts, disputed evidence, and the uncomfortable gray areas that have fueled decades of obsession.Brian begins by laying out the difference between what investigators know, what they suspect, and what the Zodiac himself claimed. He revisits the confirmed attacks—from the 1968 Lake Herman Road murders to the killing of San Francisco cab driver Paul Stine—along with the crucial survivor testimonies that shaped the early investigation. The episode also explores the long-debated question of whether victim Darlene Ferrin may have known her attacker, a claim that has lingered without proof.The narrative then shifts to the disputed cases, including the 1966 Riverside murder of a college student—claimed by the Zodiac but dismissed by police decades later—the disappearance of nurse Donna Lass, and several possible but unconfirmed victims tied to the killer by pattern or rumor. Brian also revisits the unsettling abduction of Kathleen Johns, a case still debated among investigators.The heart of the episode focuses on the most scrutinized suspect ever named: Arthur Leigh Allen.Brian details the mountain of circumstantial evidence that once made him the prime focus of the investigation, and the physical evidence—handwriting, fingerprints, and later DNA—that ultimately cleared him. Recent claims, including alleged confessions and alternative suspects promoted by documentaries and citizen groups, are examined with sharp skepticism and a commitment to factual integrity.The episode also breaks down the Zodiac ciphers, from the early Z408 to the 340 cipher cracked in 2020, and discusses the investigative failures, jurisdictional conflicts, and missing evidence that have kept this case unsolved. Brian confronts the theories—credible and absurd—and looks at how the Zodiac transformed from a real killer into a cultural phenomenon that continues to inspire amateur sleuths and wild speculation.Ultimately, this episode reveals a more grounded truth: only five murders and two attempted murders can be definitively tied to the Zodiac, and many widely accepted “facts” are nothing more than unproven theories. The case remains open across multiple jurisdictions, with thousands of suspects reviewed and no definitive answers.The victims are honored throughout the episode—teenagers on their first date, a young mother, a college student, and a working cab driver—all of whom deserve to be remembered beyond the mythology built around their killer.Survivors whose testimonies shaped the case are also acknowledged, along with the contradictions and evolving memories that complicate their accounts.This episode represents months of research and a commitment to separating fact from fiction. While many questions remain, Brian's goal is not to solve the case, but to present it with honesty—including its dead ends, contradictions, and discomforting truths.The Redacted Report is a weekly investigative true crime podcast dedicated to uncovering the hidden layers behind notorious cases. Brian brings his background in law enforcement and his dedication to factual accuracy to each episode, reminding listeners that sometimes the real story is buried beneath decades of noise. Join us next week for another investigation where the official story isn't the whole truth—because in every case, what's hidden matters most.

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday!! Today I dive into one of my most requested episodes EVER... a story many of you have been patiently waiting for: the Zodiac Killer. For over 50 years, the Zodiac has terrified Americans. From isolated lover's lanes to busy city streets, this menacing, hooded murderer unleashed a terrifying spree, targeting young couples, a cab driver, and even threatening a busload of schoolchildren. His taunting letters, cryptic clues, unsolvable ciphers, and bone chilling phone calls kept the public in a frenzy. Even with DNA collected from the crime scenes and relentless investigations (some to this very day), the question remains... who was he? Despite countless theories and compelling arguments for several suspects, one thing is true... Zodiac seems to have gotten away with it. But how?! Why does this case still capture our attention? Why can't we solve it? Why did he do it?! Why why why?! So many questions. Dive in with me, share your theories, and let's explore the enduring mystery of the Zodiac Killer. Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon. xo Bailey Sarian ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Goodreads: https://bit.ly/44P51lp Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d Discord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.com Business Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.com Business Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.

In the summer of 1969, the San Francisco Chronicle received a letter that would ignite one of the most infamous investigations in American history. Inside was a chilling confession, a cryptic cipher, and the signature that would terrify the nation: a circle with a cross through it. T We trace every confirmed attack, beginning with the Lake Herman Road murders of teenage sweethearts David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen—an ambush that seemed random until the killer later claimed it as his own. From there, we follow the trail to Blue Rock Springs, where Darlene Ferrin was killed and Michael Mageau survived a barrage of gunfire—and the eerie phone call that linked both crimes in the killer's own voice.We dive into the ciphers that made this case legendary: the first three-part code cracked by a schoolteacher and his wife, and the 340-character cipher solved over fifty years later.These messages revealed the killer's delusions, obsessions, and desire to terrorize an entire region. We also break down the horrifying daylight attack at Lake Berryessa, where Bryan Hartnell survived a knife assault from a hooded figure wearing the iconic crossed-circle emblem. Then we move into Presidio Heights, where cab driver Paul Stine's murder and a devastating miscommunication allowed police to unknowingly let the Zodiac walk right past them. We explore dozens of letters and cards sent to newspapers, including threats against school buses and claims of dozens more victims. This correspondence became the Zodiac's greatest weapon—psychological warfare that spread fear across Northern California.We examone the massive multi-agency manhunt, forensic clues from footprints to partial prints to modern DNA extraction, and the long list of suspects: Arthur Leigh Allen, Rick Marshall, Lawrence Kane, Ross Sullivan, and more—each compelling, each flawed, none ever confirmed.We also cover unconfirmed cases like Cheri Jo Bates and Donna Lass, as well as modern developments from DNA profiling to the controversial Case Breakers announcement.We discuss whether genetic genealogy may one day identify the killer—as it did in the Golden State Killer case—and why recent results remain sealed.Beyond the crimes, we look at the cultural footprint: how the Zodiac case reshaped criminal investigation, inspired countless books and films, and created a vast community of amateur sleuths still searching for answers.At the center of this story are the victims—Betty Lou Jensen, David Faraday, Darlene Ferrin, Cecelia Shepard, and Paul Stine—whose lives and futures were stolen by a killer who turned murder into a game.It's the story of a case that transformed American true crime, a mystery that refuses to die, and a shadow that still lingers over the Bay Area more than fifty years later. The Zodiac sought immortality—and in a grim sense, he found it.The case remains open.The cipher is not fully solved.And somewhere, the key to this mystery is still waiting to be discovered.
We discuss the recent developments in the shooting of Maria Velasquez, the cleaning woman who Curt Andersen shot and killed through a closed and locked door.Find discounts for Murder Sheet listeners here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/discountsCheck out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsOrder our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the early 1990s, a series of seemingly random shootings terrorized New York City. The killer called himself “The Zodiac." Either an homage to the Zodiac Killer of California...or perhaps the same person. He mailed cryptic letters to newspapers and police, claiming each of his victims corresponded to a sign of the zodiac. For years, the city lived in fear as investigators chased a phantom who seemed to strike with cosmic precision.Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, & Review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Audible!Support the show by becoming a sponsor on our Patreon: www.Patreon.com/NYMysteryMachineNYMM Merch! www.NYMysteryMachine.comHave a strange and/or paranormal story?

1968 marked the beginning of one of the most infamous killing sprees in American history. For two years, Northern California was terrorized by a series of seemingly random murders. It wasn't just the killings that terrorized people; it was the fact that the killer taunted the police and the media through a series of cryptic letters sent to newspapers. Over 50 years later, the case still hasn't been closed and remains one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in American history.

For our 300th episode of Forensic Tales, we're tackling one of the most infamous and puzzling unsolved cases in American history—the Zodiac Killer. Between 1968 and 1969, a mysterious figure terrorized Northern California with a string of murders, chilling phone calls, and cryptic letters sent to local newspapers. Despite decades of investigation, the Zodiac's identity remains one of the greatest mysteries in true crime. In this milestone special, we'll retrace the Zodiac's crimes and focus on the forensic evidence: the ballistics that linked his attacks, the fingerprints and palm prints that led nowhere, the handwriting analysis that divided experts, and the DNA testing that continues to fall short. We'll also look ahead at how advances in forensic science—like genetic genealogy—could one day solve this case. Thank you for joining me on this journey through 300 episodes. Here's to the stories we've told, the voices we've remembered, and the breakthroughs still to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode Summary: In Part 2 of our investigation into the Zodiac Killer, we turn our focus to the victims—who they were, what happened to them, and how their stories helped shape one of the most haunting unsolved cases in American history. We take you to Lake Berryessa, where a disturbing attack was carried out in broad daylight, and to the streets of San Francisco, where a cab driver was murdered in cold blood. We explore how police began to connect the dots between these brutal crimes and examine the disturbing letters and ciphers that continued to arrive at newspapers and law enforcement offices. Finally, we begin to sift through the most prominent suspects—some supported by evidence, others by myth—and consider why the Zodiac has never been definitively identified. What You'll Learn: •A victim-by-victim account of each confirmed Zodiac attack •How the killer's methods evolved—and what remained consistent •Key forensic evidence from the Paul Stine crime scene •The Zodiac's taunting communication with police and press •An overview of major suspects, including Arthur Leigh Allen •How the case continues to influence true crime, cryptography, and pop culture Victims Discussed in This Episode: •David Faraday & Betty Lou Jensen – December 20, 1968 •Darlene Ferrin & Michael Mageau – July 4, 1969 •Bryan Hartnell & Cecelia Shepard – September 27, 1969 •Paul Stine – October 11, 1969 Key Locations: •Lake Herman Road, Benicia •Blue Rock Springs Park, Vallejo •Lake Berryessa, Napa County •Presidio Heights, San Francisco Sources & References: •Zodiac by Robert Graysmith - The Zodiac Killer: The Story of America's Most Elusive Serial Killer •Zodiac Unmasked by Robert Graysmith •FBI Vault: Zodiac Killer Files •San Francisco Police Department Archives •ZodiacKiller.com victim and letter archives •Napa County Sheriff's Department case files •ZodiacKillerCiphers.com •Casefile Podcast – Case 12: The Zodiac •“The Most Dangerous Animal of All” by Gary L.

Meet Edward Wayne Edwards, the most evil serial killer you've never heard of. In this chilling case-by-case analysis and story of the killer's life, former detective John A. Cameron argues that Edwards was not only responsible for the five torture-murders he confessed to and was eventually convicted for, but for dozens more across the U.S., over decades. Tracing the murderer's life from his beginnings as a misguided boy who witnessed his mother's suicide, Cameron conducted hundreds of interviews, including exchanging phone calls and letters with the killer and interviewing his family. The result is a complex, terrifying, and fascinating analysis of Edwards' travels across the U.S. in the periods of his life: as a young itinerant handy man, an escaped fugitive on the run after a jailbreak, and of all things, an author on tour to promote a book about his life as a reformed criminal, followed years later by his arrest and confession. Each part of this haunting timeline is tied by Cameron to murder cases in the areas Edwards lived, based on his MO and his sick joy in taunting police, attending trials on the cases, and getting people wrongfully convicted for the murders he claims he did. These cases and ties include links to the famed Zodiac Killer, and more.https://amzn.to/41bnxU5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
