In the second part of our Zodiac Killer coverage, we explore 2 separate attacks. First we examine the September 1969 attack on Cecelia Shepard and Bryan Hartnell in which the killer wore an executioner's hood while he repeatedly stabbed the couple in broad daylight at Napa County's tranquil Lake Berryessa. Next we look at the October, 1969 murder of cab driver Paul Stine in which he shot Stine in San Francisco's most upscale neighborhood signaling a departure from the couple's normal MO of targeting younger couples. After the murder of Paul Stine, there was never a confirmed Zodiac attack again.

We are joined by GeoProfiler Douglas MacGregor who provides us with analysis of the Zodiac's crime locations
