The Mystery of the Missing Nurse
Episode 9 The Mystery of the Missing NurseOn September 6th, 1970, well over 100 miles North East of Zodiac's stomping grounds, 25 year old South Lake Tahoe nurse, Donna Lass went to work her shift at the Sahara Hotel-Casino just a few miles away. During her overnight shift at the casino, Donna Lass vanished. The next day, an unidentified man called Donna's landlord, and her employer to let them know that Donna had gone home to SD for a family emergency, but the call turned out to be a hoax, and Donna Lass has never been seen again. It wasn't long before a possible Zodiac correspondence was mailed hinting at responsibility for Donna's disappearance. In this episode, we discuss the Donna Lass case, as well as other suspicious, and possible Zodiac activity around the same timeframe.To listen to every episode of this show AD-FREE and get benefits like bonus and early-access episodes of every other show on the AbJack Network, consider an AbJack Insider subscription from Apple Podcasts.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

The Spring of 1970
Episode 7 The Spring of 1970The Spring of 1970 was a busy one for Zodiac, or at least it may have been. With the possible March abduction of a young Mother named Kathleen Johns and her daughter in Stanislaus County, as well as the sadistic April murder of lamp designer Robert Salem in San Francisco, the police were kept busy. Capping it off was a 13 character cipher from Zodiac that has yet to be solved to this day.To listen to every episode of this show AD-FREE and get benefits like bonus and early-access episodes of every other show on the AbJack Network, consider an AbJack Insider subscription from Apple Podcasts.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

December 1969
Episode 6 'December 1969'In December, 1969, a flurry of confirmed and unconfirmed Zodiac correspondences, in both California, and beyond, came in.

A Bus Bomb and Poison
Episode 5 A Bus Bomb and PoisonFollowing Zodiac's last confirmed murder of Paul Stine, he promised to terrorize the SF Bay area using various methods and making the crimes he committed seem random. He threated to use a bomb, but never carried out his threat. However, other possible crimes in the Bay area may have been the work of Zodiac, such as the stalking and attempted poisoning of school teacher Daniel Williams in Contra Costa County.

Presidio Heights
Episode 4 Presidio HeightsIn early October 1969, the city of San Francisco remained untouched by the Zodiac Killer's attacks to the North East of them in Solano and Napa Counties. That would all change on October 11th of that year when a cab driver named Paul Stine was murdered in his cab in the prestigious Presidio Heights section of the city. At first glance, it appears as if the dead cabbie found at the corner of Washington & Cherry Streets, was the victim of a robbery gone wrong. It wouldn't take long for the Zodiac to take responsibility for the murder going as far as to provide proof of his involvement, and sending the residents of San Francisco into a panic.To listen to every episode of this show AD-FREE and get benefits like bonus and early-access episodes of every other show on the AbJack Network, consider an AbJack Insider subscription from Apple Podcasts.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

Lake Herman Road
Episode 1 Lake Herman RoadOn December 20th, 1968, a young couple out on their first date; 17 year-old David Faraday and 16 year old Betty Lou Jensen, were shot to death along Lake Herman Road on the outskirts of Vallejo, CA. Police looked at people that may have been jealous of the young couple, or may have had a gripe with David, but those avenues of investigation led nowhere. The double murders of the teenagers shocked the community, and it wouldn't be until eight months later when another Vallejo couple was attacked, that the city realized that they had a maniac on the loose. Soon the SF Bay area would come to know this maniac as the Zodiac Killer.To listen to every episode of this show AD-FREE and get benefits like bonus and early-access episodes of every other show on the AbJack Network, consider an AbJack Insider subscription from Apple Podcasts.For show news, past episodes, and more, please check out the Zodiac Speaking Website. & for formative Zodiac articles, check out Rich's website.Find us on your favorite social media platforms; we'd love to interact with you.
