I just spoke with a park ranger at Lake Berryessa who told me that a film crew from the Peacock network was there a few weeks ago filming a new documentary.

Should be hearing details soon.

NEW Zodiac Man documentary!!!

About Tom Hanson's experience when he tried to trap Zodiac. I hope the suspect's name is given, but I doubt it will be. The trailer makes it seem like it could be Earl Van Best Jr. That would be disappointing. Did Van Best work as a mailman or work at Bank of America? http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/232699 ... estigated/

The Shocking Truth: Zodiac

doranchak — Sun, 05 Mar 2017 14:23:46 +0000

Episode 5 of this Canadian documentary series is about Zodiac and airs on E! Canada.

A cold-blooded killer begins his reign of terror in 1969. A panicked San Francisco lies in the grip of fear. Nobody knows where - or when - he will strike next. In his taunts to local police and newspapers, the killer claims to have murdered as many as 37 people. A chilling mystery is about to unfold. How did visionary director David Fincher turn this story into what critics call the gold standard for fact-based serial killing thrillers?

An article with more details about the series: http://www.calgarysun.com/2017/03/03/alberta-shot-shocking-truth-recreates-gruesome-scenes-to-find-the-truth-behind-iconic-films IMDB includes Michael Butterfield in the cast list for the Zodiac episode which airs tomorrow (March 6, 2017).

Zodiac on YouTube

BuzzFeed just came out with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzIxYdWVbm0 Over One Million views in a few days. Unfortunately, it's hosted by a couple of amateur comics who probably spent 2 hours researching the case. SPOILER - They figure Z was ALA or Larry Kane. They also mention Earl Van Best as a possible suspect. It's not nearly as good as this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgNpIP8p0ww

Zodiac error strewn documentaries

I have just watched Case Reopened Part 1 again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go2LCyRAVmc&list=PLlennTkQxGFFBZrd53S38IO1e69D1nq3k&index=14 My point being is that these documentaries are error strewn fiction, no wonder people new to the Zodiac case start with so many false ideas and it's not like these were made a few months after the murders, the producers who compiled this had many years to get this right and still failed. In the opening scene of the Lake Herman Road murder the Zodiac is wandering off a cattle farm onto the LHR turnout that has grown by 100 metres, his car appears briefly about 40 feet from their Rambler (he may as well have walked from Vallejo), he approaches the car and fires into both sides of the Rambler, which he didn't. He supposedly chased Betty Lou Jensen across the turnout, which he didn't and the list goes on throughout the whole documentary, there were 30+ errors throughout, in fact I stopped counting. My question being; if you are going to produce a documentary, at least research the facts. If we all made this amount of mistakes at work we'd be fired, so how does something like this get past production, didn't they have a reputable Zodiac researcher to guide them in the right direction. That's the least they should have done. Here endeth the rant. It should be renamed Case Reopened Part Fiction.

Documentary: From the Special Edition DVD of Zodiac (2007)

Title: This Is the Zodiac Speaking (2008) Duration: 1 hour and 41 minute long Director: David Prior http://documentaryheaven.com/zodiac-speaking/ DESCRIPTION Documentary covering every aspect of the investigation, including interviews with the original investigators and surviving victims. From the Special Edition DVD of Zodiac (2007) special features. This is no doubt the very best video/documentary I have seen concerning covering the confirmed Zodiac murders. However the entire Zodiac killer's correspondence is hardly covered at all . I wish the same team, director David Prior & Co would make a documentary on that too. And another documentary on the possible Zodiac victim cases, Cheri Jo Bates, Kathleen Johns and Donna Lass You can find names on all the persons that appear in the Documentary here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1560206/ful ... t_ov_st_sm
