[Warcodered]

"An international team of amateur sleuths claim to have decoded a half-century-old taunt by California's notorious Zodiac Killer.

And federal authorities said they believe the code breakers appear to be on solid ground in following the mysterious killer who fatally stabbed or shot five people in Northern California in 1968 and 1969."

This stuff is always interesting to me. True crime peaks my interest. Not quite related,  But Helter Skelter was one of the best books I've ever read.

I read Helter Skelter when I was in high school in the 70's, usually at night.

 

There were nights sleep did not come quickly because of that book.

Didn't he give them his name in one of his coded letters?

Sounds familiar I think he might of said he did, but it's not like he'd lie or anything.

Every decipherable game is variably encoded so how exposure accelerates distresses.  

 

If it goes fast, great.  If it goes slow, you're solving decades old mysteries.
