New Netflix Documentary Features Family’s Shocking Claims About Arthur Leigh Allen’s Guilt in the Infamous Zodiac Killer Murders in California

A gripping new documentary titled This is The Zodiac Speaking is making waves as it delves into the chilling enigma of the Zodiac Killer.

It features striking claims from a family closely connected to Arthur Leigh Allen, the prime suspect in the infamous case.

The film raises questions about the truth behind one of America’s most notorious unsolved criminal mysteries.

The Seawater Family’s Disturbing Memories

The documentary shares the harrowing experiences of David and Connie Seawater, who recount unsettling memories of their time with Allen, their former elementary school teacher.

They reveal that he took them to various murder sites during the height of the Zodiac killings in the 1960s.

The pair recalls eerie moments, including bloodied rags and the sound of police sirens haunting their childhood.

Years later, David alleges that Allen made a shocking confession about his involvement in the murders when confronted.

He claims that after reaching out to law enforcement with this revelation, his concerns were dismissed.

A poignant detail emerges: after their mother passed away, the siblings discovered a box filled with cryptic messages that hinted at Allen’s desire to confess and alluded to police looking for “mass killers.”

The Close Relationship with Allen

In the documentary, the Seawater siblings reflect on the bond they shared with Allen, who became a father figure in their lives.

Their father was institutionalized, leaving Allen to fill that role.

He developed a close friendship with their mother, Phyllis, often dining with them and taking the children on outings.

Connie now believes that Allen was, in fact, the Zodiac Killer and that he likely took them to some of the murder scenes during those trips.

One of the most chilling recollections involves a trip to Tajiquas Beach in June 1963, which coincided with the tragic murders of 18-year-old Robert George Domingos and his fiancée, 17-year-old Linda Faye Edwards.

During that outing, they noticed Allen’s strange behavior, as he left them to play alone while he wandered down the beach and returned with what appeared to be a bloodied rag.

Frightening Encounters and Lost Memories

The siblings also share harrowing memories of a trip to Riverside the day before the murder of Cheri Jo Bates.

They both experienced blackouts, with Connie recalling finding David unresponsive after drinking juice from a motel room.

Later, she was taken on a tour of the college campus where Bates was killed, only to lose consciousness again and wake up as Allen drove away with police sirens blaring in the background.

Years later, when confronted by a reporter, Allen allegedly made a chilling remark to Connie when she asked him if he was the Zodiac Killer, saying, “If I told you that, I’d have to kill you, too.”

David, in later life, made calls to thank Allen for their childhood experiences, but during one conversation, Allen’s emotional response led to a shocking confession: “I was not as good to you as you think I was. I drugged you guys.”

When David pressed him further about their lost memories, Allen’s response was horrifying: “I molested your sister.”

In response to David’s inquiry about being the Zodiac Killer, he allegedly admitted, “Yes, it was me.” Once again, when David reported this to the police, he felt ignored.

The Mysterious Box and Allen’s Past

The siblings became convinced of Allen’s guilt after watching the 2007 film Zodiac.

Following their mother’s death in 2017, David discovered a box buried in her garage that he believed contained crucial evidence.

Inside were letters hinting at a desire to confess, including one stating, “I almost decided to confess to finally bring it to an end.”

The documentary also sheds light on Allen’s disturbing history.

In 1991, Marlene Seawater, the youngest sibling, discovered that Allen had faced charges for molesting students years prior.

He had previously been arrested in 1974 for child molestation, receiving a suspended prison sentence and mental health evaluation.

His absence from society for three years coincided with a period of silence from the Zodiac Killer.

The Zodiac’s Lasting Legacy

The Zodiac Killer continued to taunt law enforcement, even sending a new letter in 1978, stating, “I am back with you. I am waiting for a good movie about me.”

The killer’s reign of terror involved at least seven victims, five of whom were murdered.

He sent taunting letters to newspapers, claiming to have killed 37 people and threatened further violence.

The cryptic message from the Zodiac included statements that revealed his twisted psyche, boasting about his evasion of capture and expressing a lack of fear regarding death.

He claimed, “I am not afraid because I know that my new life will be an easy one in paradise.”

Ongoing Investigations and New Leads

While Arthur Leigh Allen was the only suspect officially named by police, the case remains open, and new suspects continue to emerge.

Journalist Thomas Colbert recently revealed that an FBI whistleblower suggested Gary Francis Poste, an Air Force veteran, is now considered a suspect.

Poste, who died in 2018, allegedly had a partial DNA sample linked to the murders.

The Zodiac Killer’s legacy looms large, inspiring countless books, documentaries, and films.

Despite Allen being the only named suspect, investigators continue to explore new leads in hopes of finally solving this enduring mystery.

With the documentary stirring renewed interest, many are left wondering: will we ever uncover the true identity of the Zodiac Killer?
