In the 1960s and 70s, this criminal left an indelible mark on US history by sending letters and ciphers to local newspapers. Although many messages remain unsolved, one of the most notorious, the 340 cipher, was decoded in 2020, revealing a taunting message from the killer.

In the message, he expressed that he did not fear the gas chamber, believing it would take him to “paradise.” The text included references to having “slaves” to work for him, implying that unlike his victims, he did not fear death.

Netflix’s new documentary, This Is the Zodiac Speaking, highlights the story of the Seawater brothers, who had contact with Arthur Leigh Allen, the prime suspect in the case, during their childhood. The documentary shares their experiences with authorities for the first time, offering new perspectives on the case.

Although Allen was the main suspect throughout the investigation, there was insufficient evidence to bring formal charges. The documentary is set to premiere on October 23, promising to revisit this decades-old mystery.
