Five dead. Two survivors. Twenty letters. Four ciphers. One crossed-circle symbol. Almost sixty years later — nobody has ever said his name. Zodiac: The Killer Who Named Himself traces the most theatrically engineered murder campaign in American criminal history, told from both sides of the case — the attacks that shocked Northern California and the investigators, journalists, and obsessives who spent their careers trying to find a man who simply refused to be found. Told entirely through narration across twenty episodes, this micro-drama series follows the Zodiac from the gravel turnout on Lake Herman Road in December 1968 through his escalating media strategy, his four ciphers, his letters that paralysed school districts, and the investigators who came within fifteen feet of him and drove past. Unlike every other killer in this series, the Zodiac was never caught. He named himself, defined himself, and then disappeared — leaving behind a partial DNA profile, an unmatched palmprint, a 51-year cipher, and the only open serial murder case of the modern American era. He is the only one who got away with it.
