Letters from Zodiac?

Recently, on www.zodiackillersite.com, we discussed some of the unconfirmed Zodiac letters, letters that may be from the Zodiac Killer, but so far, have not been positively connected.

Two of the letters most discussed are the 'Bleeding knife of Zodiac' & 'This State is in Trouble' letters. These were mailed together  12/16/69, and were postmarked from Fairfield, CA.




These may have been sent by Zodiac in time for the one year anniversary of his first confirmed attack on 12/20/68.

Personally,I have been on the fence as to whether they are really from Zodiac or not, but recently, I am leaning towards them being from the real Zodiac, and NOT a copycat or hoaxter. Most people that view these mention that they don't look much at all like the Zodiac's confirmed writing, and that is true, but if you want to make somebody think you are mailing a real Zodiac letter, then you make it look as close to the real thing as possible. There is some suggestion that Zodiac practiced the altering of his handwriting,and may have disguised it at times, and these letters may be evidence of that. In fact, the FBI could not rule these letters out as being authored by Zodiac.

"Zodiac" 10 Are Marked For Murder

SAN JOSE (AP)- The Highway Patrol station here reports receiving a telephone call from a man identifying himself as "Zodiac" and threatening to kill five patrolmen and a family of five by Monday.

Sgt. Robert Rengstorif said he took the call at 10:10 p.m. Friday from a man who told dispatcher Shirley Searcy he was "the Zodiac" and wanted to speak to the man in charge.

Rengstorif quoted the man as saying:
"I am going to kill five of you officers and a family of five between now and Monday."

The patrolman said the call was not recorded and there is no way of knowing who it came from.

A killer who calls himself Zodiac first struck a year ago in Vallejo and has killed a total of five persons.

His last known communication was a month ago in two letters addressed to the San Francisco Chronicle.




Based on the phone call containing the threat against cops, and the mention of San Jose, and the fact the call came in almost the exact time the letters were mailed, I have no doubt that the caller & letter writer are one and the same. The question is, is that person Zodiac?
