Summary

In the early 60s, a madman was on the loose in Boston. In the span of 2 years, he's know to have brutally raped and murdered at least 13 women in their own homes. The killer was a monster who definitely didn't look like one--he'd easily gain his victim's trust and access to their homes, as there was never any sign of forced entry. And he was meticulous, almost never leaving a single clue. As the terror in the city reaches a fever pitch, investigators make an arrest. But did they get the right guy? Or was he just a willing patsy set up to take the fall?

0:00.0	Hey fam, Patrick here.
0:03.6	So before we get to the show, I've got a pretty exciting announcement.
0:07.8	So as some of you might know, earlier this year, the author Jared Kobyak named a new
0:12.7	suspect to be the Zodiac Killer.
0:16.1	This was based on years of research, which uncovered never-before-seen evidence and answered
0:21.4	many of the open questions that have remained over the decades that investigators have been
0:26.1	trying to crack this case and uncover the Zodiac's true identity.
0:31.0	Our big news is that the obsessed network has helped publish the audiobook of Jared Kobyak's
0:35.9	work.
0:36.9	The audiobook is called How to Find Zodiac and it's available right now to download

0:52.0	rest of the book laying out his evidence.
0:54.9	His evidence that his suspect is in fact the Zodiac Killer is so compelling that true
1:00.4	crime heavyweights like my dear friend Rebecca LaVoy, host of the podcast Crime Writer's
1:05.0	On, and Paul Haynes, the researcher who helped Michelle McNamara uncover the identity of
1:10.5	the Golden State Killer, both of them are willing to stake their reputations on the fact
1:15.1	that Jared Kobyak has indeed identified the Zodiac Killer once and for all.
1:20.3	I have now listened to this audiobook twice.
1:22.8	It is without a doubt the most riveting audiobook listening experience I have ever had.
1:27.4	If you're like me and you're mildly obsessed with the case of the Zodiac Killer, you are
1:31.1	going to want to run to Audible right this second and download the audiobook.
