Free Online Talk · How the Zodiac Killer Became America's Most Famous Urban Legend with Eddie McNamara

Between 1968–69, the Zodiac Killer struck fear into the hearts of the public, claiming at least five victims and taunting the police. He was never caught. Tonight, join author and former police officer Eddie McNamara as he peels back decades of myth and sensationalism to reveal a shocking truth: The Zodiac Killer never existed. Rather than a single, unstoppable predator, he was an urban legend—one amplified by media frenzy and public imagination. Drawing on his new book Zodiactually—and the original police files, newspaper archives, and court records that shaped it—McNamara shares the hidden stories behind the murders and reveals how media frenzy, public hysteria, and myth-making created one of true crime’s most enduring (and imagined) figures.
