The story so far
Everything you need before watchingA stranger tightens the wheel, then once she is in the car says he will throw the baby out the window. She jumps, hides the child, and waits in case he comes back. The paper's new policy is to stop printing the letters and watch what he does; stacked against older cases, someone says Zodiac is full of it.
