Criminal Minds, the CBS television show centered around a team of profilers from the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), will be airing an episode entitled True Genius this Wednesday, January 18 @ 9:00 ET. The episode’s plot is based on the case of the Zodiac. From the preview (below), it appears that the team is chasing somebody who is recreating the Zodiac’s crimes.
