Topic: Zodiac Murders

Jay Weidner discusses his process of "back-engineering reality," where he re-examines historical events like the Zodiac and Manson murders to determine if they were also staged. He notes a suspicious pattern in modern "crisis" events where the participants appear to be well-cast, attractive individuals, such as the Tsarnaev brothers. He argues that the aesthetic polish of these news stories mirrors Hollywood productions rather than the messy reality of actual crimes.
