✕ Remove Ads Netflix's explosive new documentary This is The Zodiac Speaking reveals previously unknown evidence surrounding the man police have long suspected to be the murderer, Arthur Leigh Allen. Allen's untimely death in 1992, at the age of 58, appeared to put an end to the case, with the killer's identity unsolved. The Zodiac Killer had seven confirmed killings between 1969 and 1974 in the era of serial killers.
On October 29th, 1966, 18-year-old Cheri Jo Bates was stabbed to death on the grounds of Riverside City College. The likely murderer sent two letters to RPD headquarters and the offices of the Riverside Press-Enterprise, Zodiac-style, claiming responsibility for the killing, and chillingly confessing that he had approached Cheri with the words:"It's about time," and when she asked"About time for what?" he simply replied:"About time for you to die.
