But as far as investigators are concerned, this was the last time any news outlet or law enforcement agency would hear from the Zodiac. Yeah. So who the fuck was this guy? Yeah. We got to talk about it. We do. So obviously a lot of the Zodiac story is, you know, result of the media attention, the public fascination that surrounded the case.

Because he's just going to be like, cool. First, they started here. Then, they went here.
