The Brooklyn Zodiac: Confession in the Signature

Her Teeth Removed, Her Underwear In Her Throat, Found Floating In The Thames: The Murder of Anna Tailford A naked woman emerges from the Thames on a London morning in February 1964. Her teeth have been deliberately extracted. Her own underwear obstructs her airway. Scotland Yard cannot answer the question that haunts them: who did this, and why? In this episode, we explore the investigation into a series of murders that Scotland Yard struggled to solve for over two years, examining the contradictions between two prime suspects, the forensic particles that pointed to a specific industrial estate, and the ambiguous suicide note left behind when the crimes inexplicably stopped.
