About this episode

As Halloween Month continues, we're taking a break from discussing ghosts and ghouls to turn our attention to real-life killer, cryptography enthusiast and all-around jerk, The Zodiac Killer. His murders have gone unsolved for decades, but this week, some internet goofballs decided they've cracked the case. Have they? We investigate!
