Really interesting podcast that examines the Black Dahlia, Zodiac and other cases for potential links, and puts to the test a theory about the possible killer. This podcast doesn't seem to have garnered as much attention as the most recent previous theory about the Zodiac killer, but it should! Michael Connelly is, as ever, an excellent host.
Podcast Addict525 days agoJacy- Flawed theory, interesting podcast nonetheless
I really enjoy Michael Connelly’s production on this podcast, but the main theory seems like a major stretch. The whole thing relies on an amateur sleuth using AI to analyze texts and solve short ciphers that can actually have multiple answers. While Marvin Margolis makes sense to me as a Black Dahlia suspect, trying to link him to the Zodiac is tunnel vision.

Might be Connelly’s #1 fan of all the books and the last 3 podcasts. The connections to the Dahlia case seem really well done and on point, but I can’t help but think the Zodiac connection seems like an after thought and anemic at best.
We need more meat on the Zodiac connection. Arthur Lee Allen seems like a much superior suspect at this point t.
Apple Podcasts5portola_steveUnited States2 months ago I'm not a true crime fan, came here after rec. from an unrelated pc. I only knew the bare minimum about the cases. Mostly came for the cryptography chat.
I'm posting this after listening up to e10. Mostly i wanted to say that i find Baber not only very likeable, but compared to so many ppl on PCs, refreshingly earnest and humble. My <3 broke for him a little in the 1st minutes of e10. People are awful; stay cool Baber.
Podcast Addict52 months agoJimKarnage- Well Researched
If you are familiar or not with Zodiac and Black Dahlia Avenger, you get a lot out of this fascinating exploration of these crimes. The info on breaking the ciphers is a podcast in itself. Well done.
