  • 80. Profiling the Zodiac Killer – Part 1

    80. Profiling the Zodiac Killer – Part 1
    Apr 16 2025

    Writer, researcher, and podcaster Michael Butterfield joins us to examine the series of murders attributed to the person who called himself the Zodiac. Michael has dedicated 30-plus years to investigating this case. In this episode, we discuss the earliest known attacks: the December 20, 1968, murders of Betty Lou Jensen and David Faraday on Lake Herman Road in Benicia, California, and the July 4, 1969, shooting of Darlene Ferrin and Michael Mageau at Blue Rock Springs Park in Vallejo, California. (Michael survived.)

    You can listen to Michael's podcast, Zodiac: A to Z, a deep-dive series that methodically examines the Zodiac Killer case, exploring each suspect, clue, and theory with a focus on separating fact from speculation. Michael also has an upcoming book titled The Zodiac Killer: The Story of America's Most Elusive Murderer, scheduled for release on May 6, 2025.

Great podcast

To get inside a crime from the profilers that worked the case before it was solved. I'm so glad that the prosecutors introduced me to your podcast.

Hearing from several FBI profilers on real cases is very interesting. Highly recommend!

I have followed this series from the beginning. Hearing from real FBI agents on real cases, some even unsolved, is riveting! I highly recommend starting with Profiling Concepts so you get a feel for how to look at the cases. Also, don’t miss the Mark Twitchell SK Confessions one. The reading of the killer’s diary is captivating. Really a nice add to the series. Can’t wait for the next one.

Gripping insight

It is an amazing behind the scenes process of how cases are analyzed. Small details matter and the analysis makes you think of true crime in a whole new way! My absolute favorite podcast!
