    7:40 I can’t be the only one who wishes there was way less story about the victims
 Yes, tragedy, and all that, but I just don’t care about somebody I’m never gonna meet. So pls just get on with the story lol

    it was Arthur Leigh Allen, we know it was him in the couples incidents, the dna rulling out doesnt make sense because only dna we have is from the saliva on the letters, but Allens friends said he casually maked someone else lick his letters for him as a quirk

    these videos are meandering way too much now. I watch youtube for straight to the point videos not movies with entire sideplots and character development.

    I grew up in Benicia/Vallejo and this was always a topic of conversation when we were teens
 we used to go out to Lake Herman late at night and walk around the hills trying to find the Zodiac.. kids are stupid 😂

    Really the zodiac killer and episode about the zodiac killer proves that fern is no longer going to make those big controversial documentaries. The private equity influence is real, and it has started affecting this channel nearly immediately after it was bought out.

    A theory of mine… He was terminally ill. And chose to do this before he dies. And before he could send his final letters (if that was the case) he passed away. He likely kept no copies of any of his, so no one would have been able to find anything if he just ended up dying at home (likely just a blue collar/rich guy with time and likely single and mentally unwell)

    I think you stole animation. A german channel named "Simplicissmus" uploaded the exact same video 1 month ago. whilst you uploaded it yesterday. The text on the right corner is covered by a black bar with overlayed text, compare it to the german channel and it's just white text. looks more original to me.

    Americans especially white, asian(east/central/south-east/levantie/gcc), latino, caucaus, maghrebi/berber, turk, greek, circassian/druze/assyrian/yazidi/kurd, lgbtq and j-w americ-nts are insufferable open hypocrities.
