WEBVTT - Monster: The Zodiac Killer [trailer]

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>In the seventies as it was happening, a lot of

0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>us have probably thought, gee, there's a lot going on.

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>But looking back at a decade of violence, it was

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>just crazy. It was crazy time. Most serial killers don't

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>make any effort to involve media or investigators. They're very secretive.

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>They don't want attention. They almost want their crimes to

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>go unnoticed. But the idea of committing a crime and

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>then calling up the police and bragging about it, that's

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a whole another level of terror. A man who wore

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 1>a medieval style executioner's hood, who has baffled the police

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and baffled the media. He seems to crave publicity. He

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>sent letters and cryptograms to newspapers and the police. Subjects stated,

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>I want to report a murder, no a double murder.

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I did it Here. We are fifty years after the

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>first Zodiac killing. In today's world of forensics, old cases

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>are being solved. We're talking about probably the most famous

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>cold case the last century or so in terms of

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it's trauma and being unsolved. Who doesn't want to know

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>how it turns out? Dear editor, this is the Zodiac speaking.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>If you do not print the cipher by the afternoon

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>of Friday, first of August. I will go on to

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>kill rampage Friday night. I will cruise around all weekend,

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>killing loan people in the night, then move on to

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>kill again. The best part of it is that when

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 1>I die, I'll be reborn in paradise and all that

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 1>I have killed will become my slaves. From my Heart radio,

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>How Stuff Works, and Tenderfoot TV. This is Monster, the

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Zodiac Killer.
