“Hunting The Zodiac” is a 63-minute documentary about the vast subculture of amateur detectives who are obsessed with solving the Zodiac Killer case from the late 1960s. Shot in 2001–02, the film chronicles a major turning point in the hunt for the psychopath who killed at least 5 people in the San Francisco Bay Area and mailed more than a dozen bizarre letters and coded messages to local newspapers. In this clip from the film, newspaper reporter Matthew Hedger describes how he uncovered startling new information that seems to further implicate the prime suspect in the case, Arthur Leigh Allen, a former schoolteacher. While reporting his front-page article for the Ledger-Dispatch (Calaveras County) in 2001, Hedger located several people who had been Allen’s students in 1966–68. Two different women told him that Allen had a strange habit of muttering the phrase “titwillo titwillo titwillo” during moments of exasperation in the classroom. If both women are to be believed, then Arthur Leigh Allen was in the habit of saying “titwillo titwillo titwillo” at least six years before the phrase appeared in a Zodiac letter.
