As Rita Williams, a former reporter at KTVU, points out in the trailer, “He got away with it.” One of the most notorious suspects in this chilling case was Arthur Leigh Allen, a convicted sex offender.
Despite being the prime suspect, Arthur was never formally charged due to insufficient evidence linking him to the crimes. This is the Zodiac Speaking aims to revisit this perplexing case using archival footage, firsthand interviews with individuals connected to the investigation, including the Seawater family, and insights related to Arthur Leigh Allen. The series is set to debut on Netflix on October 23, 2024.

All episodes will be made available simultaneously for dedicated true crime fans to binge-watch.
Notable figures in the documentary include Williams, along with investigative journalist Robert Graysmith, who is known for authoring one of the most acclaimed books on the subject titled Zodiac, presenting evidence that points towards Arthur Allen. Williams conducted an on-camera interview with Allen before his passing.
