This Is the Zodiac Speaking

The Zodiac Killer must be one of the most compelling cases in the history of forensics.

A monstrous being, ahead of its time.

When you read the stories you can't help but feel sorry for the victims, their families and the police. No one was prepared for a being of this magnitude.

This miniseries gives us a very interesting point of view.

Arthur Leigh Allen was always the number 1 suspect, all the circumstantial evidence, the fact that he had been in the area of several murders on the same days that they occurred and even his identification by the survivors.

However, he could never be locked up and died prematurely from his kidney disease.

In the Seawater stories there is so much pain, so much darkness lived, so many traces followed that it is impossible not to follow this conjecture. ALA was the Zodiac Killer, without a doubt. Egomaniac, narcissist, abuser, with extremely useful skills and talents... all the combo to do what he surely did.

It's a shame that David has passed away and will not be able to see the end of this story. I am left frozen by the bond with his mother and how she was/could have been an accomplice to this for so many years. A destroyed family, a sister who would clearly be one of the next victims and who was saved by a miracle.

Finally, the hope that the knife he gave to Connie's son will finally reveal that truth that has been awaited for more than 50 years...

The most compelling circumstantial evidence provided to the public. Watch this documentary to get an insight into the family exposed and linked to a strong suspect for the Zodiac serial killings.

Arguably this is the most renowned serial murder case in the US that has gone unsolved for decades. The family associated with Arthur Leigh Allen provide their insight to growing up with a man who they trusted and accepted into their family. As the decades pass and they reflect on their dealings with the suspect, they begin to piece together that Arthur Leigh Allen, the person they welcomed into their family, could very well be the notorious Zodiac killer that has evaded conviction for decades.

This documentary should provide more focus for detectives to come to a final conclusion on the Zodiac killer.

This Is the Zodiac Speaking: A nasty guy alright, at times he wanted to encourage people to think he was Zodiac, even wrote letters to people suggesting that he had carried out the murders. But just before he died he denied it, wrote a letter which was discovered when he was found dead. Certainly some circumstantial evidence, the testimony of those families he interacted with and abused is interesting. Their memories stretching back 50 years might not be so reliable though as to his actions in proximity to attack sites. Maybe he was just a sad petty predator who had dreams of being an infamous serial killer. Still the series is worth watching even I think it could have been done in 2 rather than 3 episodes. Directed by Phil Lott and Ari Mark. On Netflix. 7/10.

I've always been intrigued by the statements from these brothers, and it amazed me that no one had done anything about it... until now! Without a doubt, Arthur Leigh Allen was, is, and will be the number one suspect-miles ahead of anyone else, light-years, even. There's a huge amount of circumstantial evidence, way beyond the ordinary, and when you add in the experiences of these brothers, I've got no doubt he was the killer. Let's not forget that a survivor from the Lake Berryessa side and Michael Mageau identified him as their attacker, among a ton of other things. A narcissist and an egomaniac with two faces. Hopefully, his guilt can finally be confirmed, because there's no one else who even comes close to him.

After having watched the movie Zodiac many times I watched this hoping I would get a lot more evidence one way or another. This documentary certainly does provide a fair amount of evidence suggesting that it was in fact Arthur Leigh Allen. Based on what it shows and what I know previously if I had to bet it would be that it was him. However , not to say Graysmith is wrong , but the entire theories presented do always seem to come through him. I had some suspicion while watching that this was the case in this as well.

What I've realized is that there was simply nothing to really stick to Allen outside of circumstantial evidence . For crimes of this scope the threshold level for evidence is quite high.

In the end the accounts of the children grown up I found very interesting and certainly made me believe it was Allen even more. However, after reflection I still would need to see DNA that was not found. There certainly was huge motivation to get this guy, but their unwillingness to try him for all the crimes shows that the attorneys couldn't build a case to meet the thresholds.

Overall on a private level, I do believe it was him. From a legal perspective , I would need something larger in terms of evidence, which clearly is why it is still considered a cold case.

For all the Zodiac victims sakes I do hope they find something extremely conclusive. It's horrid Zodiac was able to get away with this level of evil.
