Show Notes

In 1966, the peaceful city of Riverside, California, was rocked by the brutal murder of 18-year-old Cheri Jo Bates. Her death remained a baffling cold case until years later when Paul Avery of the San Francisco Chronicle received an anonymous tip that the Zodiac Killer may have been involved. In this episode, we explore the haunting details of Cheri Jo’s life, her tragic death, and the series of letters that seemed to tie her fate to the infamous Zodiac. Join us as we investigate whether the Zodiac was truly responsible or if another mystery lurks behind her untimely demise.
