11: The Beach Murders: Domingos, Edwards, & The Swindles

Unsolved Crimes That Preceded the Zodiac's Reign

Both incidents occurred years before anyone had heard of the Zodiac Killer, but the eerie similarities to the Zodiac’s known crimes suggest these could have been his early strikes. In this episode, we explore the horrifying events on Gaviota Beach and Ocean Beach, the cold case investigations, and the emerging evidence that connects these cases to the infamous Zodiac. Could these early unsolved murders reveal a deeper, darker chapter of the Zodiac's history?
