Summary
Court reporter Nancy Bennallack was found brutally slain in her apartment in Sacramento in October 1970. Her killer had stabbed and cut her dozens of times, and taken precautions to ensure that he was not identified. No suspects stood out, but a possible link to another murder led many to consider whether Nancy could have been the victim of an infamous serial killer; the Zodiac. When Nancy's murderer was finally identified by forensic genealogy, he turned out to be someone police had spoken to – someone who was hiding in plain sight. Although we know his name, the question remains – why did he kill Nancy?
