I think I voted for the Zode because JonBenet and Natalie seem beyond any satisfying resolution- I mean I doubt Walken is going to suddenly reveal something for the latter - and with more victims, more possibilities for resolution? I'm barely talking myself into it!
From the NY Times article about the Idaho murders. Definitely not so annoying that anyone deserved to be murdered, but really? I thought zoomers didn't make phone calls.
"[Alivia Goncalves] said that her sister [Kaylee Goncalves] frequently called people late at night — and often kept calling until they picked up — even if to ask a mundane question like what she ought to have for a meal."
I picked Natalie Wood. I think the Jon-Benet evidence/investigation was too bungled to ever be solved. Cooper and zodiac have so many conspiracy type solutions that I don't think anyone cares. I thought we knew what happened to Natalie (even if it's not definitive enough to prosecute).
I voted for JonBenet only because it's the most recent one, so there are more witnesses still living. Likewise, I agree with Becki about the bungled investigation, but if there's any physical evidence that was collected properly and not contaminated, there may still be usable DNA?
The whole "Why??" with regards to the Idaho suspect is leading me to wonder how often a satisfying motive is ever really revealed for cases like this? What would a satisfying end be? For him to just come out and confess under questioning like at the end of a "Law & Order" episode?
As a lifetime true crime content consumer who grew up very near the Moscow student murders, I found myself not able to take in a lot of content after the basic facts were established. Too, too close. I’ll wait for the book(s) now.
Also, my bff of decades is separated by about two degrees from one of the victim’s families. We’ve both been rethinking our approach to and consumption of true crime as the effects of this continue to ripple.
Everyone, I thought we settled who is Zodiac. I am Zodiac. Mike Pesca of Slate and I had an email exchange once upon a time wherein I cursed him for putting me onto a podcast about me, and I replied with the solid evidence that I was a child at the time of the majority of these crimes, living in Michigan and a. unlikely to have the $$ to fly into and out of CA to commit said crimes and he replied with b. That’s something Zodiac would say, hence, c. I am Zodiac. Busted. No need for future docs or anything. I AM Z. Also, and this part is true, when I watched the film about me for the first time, Zodiac, I paused two-thirds of the way through, so creeped out by what I had done, that I called the only person I knew who was of adult age at that time and a native Californian to talk about it. After he calmed me down, if I finished watching the movie about me and then, still creeped out, went for a walk in the dark (approximately midnight in Pasadena, CA). When I told one of my unsuspecting sisters about this, she decried, “Why would you walk around at night when he hasn’t been caught?” “Well,” I replied, “ either he was going to get me or not, but I wasn’t going to sleep without that walk.” The end

I could see a documentary about the process used to save the bearer bonds being far more interesting than Kaleidescope.
