The California Medfly Attack

In October of 1974, a young woman named Arlis Perry was brutally murdered in the Stanford Memorial Church. Over the years, her case has been bandied about as a potential cult-based murder, has been tied to unrelated offenders such as the Son of Sam, and even became the focus of many "Satanic Panic" theories in the 1980s.I covered this story in one of the first episodes of the podcast, back in March of 2016. Now, some new information has surfaced which points to a resolution. Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal WhelanLearn more about the podcast at unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast (and others), consider heading to patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron Music CreditsThe Gateless Gate - "Mvatn"Daniel James Dolby - "Longing"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

On September 11th, 2001, a massive attack brought America to a screeching halt. In the immediate aftermath - while everyone was trying to figure out what had happened, and if it could happen again - another series of events began to play out. Originating in Florida, and then spreading into other populated areas along the East Coast, anthrax-laced letters made every American question their safety.Over the next decade, federal investigators tried to determine who was behind this biological attack, which left seventeen infected and five dead in its wake. But even now - close to 17 years later - the same doubts continue to linger...  Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal WhelanLearn more about the podcast at unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast (and others), consider heading to patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron Music CreditsFabio Keiner - "El Canto Tercero"ROZKOL - "On The Run"Kai Engel - "After Midnight"Breath Before The Plunge - "End Of All Things"Scott Holmes - "Everest"Pulse Emitter - "Triangulum Galaxy"ROZKOL - "Opening Credits"Daniel James Dolby - "Yearning"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

Between December of 1968 and October of 1969, four separate attacks left the San Francisco Bay Area shaking. Two attacks happened in the area of Vallejo, another took place along scenic Lake Berryessa, and the final incident took place in San Francisco itself - in the wealthy neighborhood of Presidio Heights.A madman, who referred to himself as "The Zodiac," began corresponding with the media at around the same time. He took credit for the attacks, and - as the attacks progressed - he became more confident and began threatening police, journalists, and even school-children.Throughout the years, many have theorized connections to this mysterious killer: other possible crimes, noted suspects, etc. But the many mysteries of the Zodiac killer continues to linger...Part three of three. Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal WhelanLearn more about the podcast at unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron Music CreditsBlue Dot Sessions - "Olivia Wraithe"Soft And Furious - "Melancholic Ending"Laoish Ma - "Enoch"noiseonport - "Spectre"Artem Bemba - "Respiratory Waves"Blear Moon - "Cold Summer Landscape"Percival Pembroke - "North Atlantic Treaty Organization"Marcos H.
