Summary

In this final episode of our series on the Zodiac, we explore a radical new theory that challenges everything we've come to believe about one of America's most infamous killers. Professor Thomas Henry Horan, an academic with a controversial stance, suggests that the Zodiac Killer never truly existed. Through his "Zodiac Hoax Theory," Horan argues that the murders attributed to the Zodiac were, in fact, the work of multiple unrelated killers, with the infamous letters and ciphers being the product of hoaxers. Join us as we unravel this alternative perspective on a case that has perplexed investigators and captivated the public for over five decades.
