Get ready to dive into the story behind the Zodiac Killer in a new series titled The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer. The new series will arrive in November.
History revealed more about this new limited series in a press release. Check that out below.
“Throughout the early 1960s and 1970s, the Zodiac Killer, one of history’s most famous unidentified serial murderers, terrorized America in a spree of heinous attacks, sending taunting letters and codes filled with bizarre and ancient symbols. This code has baffled some of the greatest minds in cryptology for over 50 years. HISTORY’s new nonfiction limited series, The Hunt For The Zodiac Killer opens up a new investigation into the mystery of this twisted serial assassin. Premiering on Tuesday, November 14 at 10PM ET/PT, this five-part limited series, features a team of top investigators and code-breakers, working in tandem with a super-computer, known as CARMEL, the first of its kind programmed to think like a killer. This team believes they may have broken a significant portion of the diabolically complicated code, Z340, and have been granted unprecedented access to police files, new witnesses, new clues, and the cooperation of representatives of the CIA and FBI.
The Z340 code ranks with the Nazi’s Enigma Code as one of the most difficult in history to break, and the FBI, CIA and thousands of citizens have tried and no one has been able to crack it. Its tangled mix up of ancient and modern symbology has left many to consider it unbreakable, until now.
The team of experts leading the investigation are retired LAPD homicide detective, Sal LaBarbera, who is one of the most decorated homicide detectives in the country, former FBI task force member, Marine Corps vet, and cold case detective Ken Mains, and University of Southern California Professor of Computer Science and code-breaker Kevin Knight. Together they utilize their unique expertise and one of the most powerful computers on earth to work on solving the code. On the ground and in the lab, these brilliant minds will attempt to finally bring one of America’s most notorious monsters to justice.
The Hunt For The Zodiac Killer is produced for HISTORY by Karga Seven Pictures, a Red Arrow Entertainment Group company. Sarah Wetherbee, Emre Sahin, Kelly McPherson, Tracy Bacal, and Jason Wolf are executive producers for Karga Seven Pictures. Dolores Gavin, Michael Stiller, and Bert Klasey are executive producers for HISTORY.
A+E Networks holds worldwide distribution rights for The Hunt For The Zodiac Killer. The series will launch on HISTORY UK on Wednesday 22 November, 9:00PM GMT.”
Will you check out this series? Tell us what you think.
We are lead to believe in the last episode they found a name but can’t talk about it over the phone at start. Later they have a DNA match. Anyway by the end of the last episode we’re not told anything. A waste of time
Please please continue the series. I lived through that era in the Bay Area.
Enjoyed Zodiac series. When will it return? Don’t like to be left hanging for answers.
I hope you continue, next year, and show the results from the DNA matches. Plus, what did the FBI find after you gave them the broken code. I love the show.
hi im watching ur show i have an idea where miss lass could be buried on the post card where it is punched out could that be where her body is buried the coordinates good luck
I have been totally drawn in to this series.. It is excellent. I am a bit puzzled about the three dog hits on the same basic spot and nothing to be found. Is this to say there was a later removal by zodiac? Do your very best to find the old code books in college library and look for his signature on the sign out card and then check each and every page for anything written in ink and or pencil that could tie that name to the other letters sent to newspapers and such. his letter “H” or such… Read more »
I noticed that the time of the Connie Henly potential victim said 5 pm at shift change. I have been a RN for 34 years. I have never changed shift at 5pm. I would look through NYS Professional License records for the name. Her name could have changed in another state (marriage, divorce etc.)
Seems they did a search for a woman named Connie and found nothing. Maybe he was a man named Connie.
