Reliable Zodiac Information

If you are among the many folks who have become interested in the Zodiac Killer because of David Fincher's excellent movie, find tonight's broadcast of Coast to Coast AM where ever you are able and start listening now -- at 2:14 a.m. Eastern Time.

George Noory is hosting guests Ed Neil, Michael Butterfield, and Tom Voigt. These men are three of the most sensible and reliable sources of information and thought about the Zodiac Killer you will ever encounter.

Robert Graysmith surely did yeoman's work in writing his first book on the Zodiac, but the truth about Graysmith's books -- which were the chief inspirations for Fincher's fantastic film -- is that they have a unifying flaw. That flaw is Graysmith's obsession with Arthur Leigh Allen being the Zodiac.

In my review of the film I go on to detail to some degree the concrete reasons Allen ceased being a viable suspect a few years ago and add a few more theoretical reasons for Allen not being the best suspect any more.

Voigt, Butterfield, and Neil take sensible, historian-like approaches to the existing information available about the Zodiac Killer and make logical interpretations of evidence that seems to try very hard to never bias anyone reading their respective websites.

I'm making this entry short so I can listen to the rest of the show -- which is already better than some of the usual Coast to Coast fare in part due to George Noory putting on his newsman's hat -- asking smart, pointed questions that show he knows plenty about the case going in. Good true crime radio tonight on Coast to Coast AM -- if you miss it, the show is usually available as a podcast later.
