Episode 24 The Eureka Card
In December, 1990, a greeting card with a snow man on the cover was mailed from Eureka, CA to the editor of the SF Chronicle. Inside was a photocopy of 2 keys attached to what appears to be a penlight. For some reason, the card was put on a shelf and forgotten for years until the 2007 movie, Zodiac was released. The movie prompted SF Chronicle staff to look at all of the stuff that they had received over the years that might be related to the case. That's when they discovered the 1990 Eureka card that had been stored away years earlier, and it turns out that they may have been in possession of a correspondence from the Zodiac Killer for years. The find led to many questions, a potential suspect, and debate as to whether the card was really from Zodiac. Mike & Rich discuss all of that in this episode
