Talk about adding fuel to the fire of mystery.

Fifty years later, people are still desperate to discover the identity of the Zodiac Killer, the most notorious serial killer in American history.

To this day, internet and social media detectives consistently theorize and investigate who is behind the cryptic letters and gruesome murders. It’s nothing new. What’s new, though, is the Peacock documentary airing July 11th, which offers an interesting theory about the zodiac—a theory you’ve never heard before.

The two-part series “Myth of the Zodiac Killer” claims that this infamous cultural icon never really existed.

“What if the reason the Zodiac never got caught was because it never existed in the first place?” read Press release promoting the series.

NBC released a trailer for the documentary on Tuesday.

But at the same time, it makes perfect sense. I’ve always wondered why the Zodiac Killer was never caught, why he continues to commit murders for decades and decades, especially here in 2023 with still no investigation and technology constantly advancing. In doing so, I wondered how a person could escape sin. But perhaps this is why the Zodiac never existed. (Related: I Needed This!

All I know is that when Peacock drops a document, I notice it. Because I couldn’t get enough of this stuff and now it’s pulling me in to see what they bring to the table.

Ah… Zodiac Killer. Some crazy, crazy interesting stuff.
