Zodiac
I mentioned Freudian slip two days ago and I wondered if any of you sleuths might have noticed anything that the Zodiac had said that could be classified as such. Although this might have happened as the Zodiac spoke or wrote I think the use of drugs might have played a larger part in the formation of his sentences. That is although he had a fairly high I Q, we can not assume that all he said in his writing was absolutely true. The fact also remains that we may be dealing with more than one personality in his head. Maybe two, three or four or more. The Zodiac didn't speak the same to Paul Avery as he did to Dave Toschi.
As an example we don't talk the same way to our parents as we do to our intimate friends. Therefor there are many variations in our personalities as we talk to different people. This is mentioned in the 1971 movie Carnal Knowledge where Candice Bergen is talking to Art Garfunkle at a mixer (a college getting to know each other get together.) I guess we therefor have to take the Zodiac at his word and make the most sense out of what he gives us or gave us if he is no longer still alive. Summing this up we are different things to different people. Thank heavens no two people are exactly alike or there would be no conversation at all needed.
We can hash this Zodiac character over and over again and still never come closer than we were before. Inflections in his speech and "psychological traits" are about the best tools that we have to use to get inside his mind and find out who he is. Also just plain dumb luck, maybe with a Freudian slip, might bring us closer to him. This man is the Hamlet of serial killers and we with a sane brain are trying to find out who he is with an insane brain.

Zodiac - Ricks
Hello Zodiac sleuths. It's time to go back to Blue Rock Springs and Darlene Ferrin and Mike Mageau. As the car pulled up behind them Darlene said, "Oh no, Rick," or something close to that so Mike said. I think we can eliminate Rick Marshall but there are two other Ricks. Rick Crabtree at the house painting party and also Rick Hoffman. Those two can be researched. I don't know anything about Rick Crabtree but Rick Hoffman was at the scene trying to get information from Darlene but to no avail. She was too far gone and filled with bullets. Graysmith wrote that Hoffman was at the house painting party but he swears that he wasn't. I just wonder if that could be some kind of a Freudian slip?
As the Zodiac wrote he left his "psychological fingerprint" by the way he constructed his sentences. A good psychiatrist might be able to identify him just by talking to him either on the street or in a one on one conversation. Even though he is psychotic, he still would leave some sort of a "fingerprint" in his speech or writing.

Zodiac
Of all the people that discussed the escapades of the Zodiac, the best speaker of the bunch was Ralph Spinelli. He off times used the phrase " now I want to paraphrase the following information." Ralph has long commentaries on the second disc of the two disc set of the Zodiac. He, as far as I can remember, never mentioned Don Cheney but he did mention Arthur Leigh Allen a lot. He tried to convince us that Allen was either the Zodiac or was connected to the Zodiac. The one thing that stood out was that when he said that he was the Zodiac he didn't actually say that he was the Zodiac but "I'm Zodiac." It seemed that he couldn't quite say that he WAS the Zodiac only "I'm Zodiac." There is a difference between being the actual person or acting like the real person.
When they ran tests on Allen after he died, the tests showed positive for him being the Zodiac but after they ran them again they didn't. This must have been a big let down for Toschi, Greysmith and the bunch. He was the one who many suspected was their man. This also left Spinelli out in left field.
There is one more thing pertaining to that thirteen symbol cipher the Zodiac said which contained his name. Using the key that the Hardens used, shift the letters once, twice or three times and use those letters and see what you get. This only works with letters, not symbols.
Also, in the long rambling letters the Zodiac wrote, wherever he spells a word wrong, use that letter or a letter close to that letter and gather all those letters and try to make some sense out of it. I still think there is some hidden messages or names in a collection of those misspelled words.
In closing I should remind you sleuths to visit web site mk-zodiac.com the web site of Ricardo Gomez.

Zodiac and Ciphers
This is Daryll K. Lathers speaking. I've been away from the computer for a while as I was having my '95 Ford show truck painted which required a lot of preparation and a lot of $. The original color was Cayman Green (dark blue/green). Where I live in Upstate New York the winters are rough on paint so I figured the job was justified. Don't ever try this yourself unless you've had previous experience because you can easily ruin the job. Take it to a professional and do it right. As I was doing this I was also thinking about the Zodiac and I've come up with some new ideas which I'll share with you all.
On page #144 of the Zodiac paperback, the one with the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog at night, the Zodiac gave us a thirteen symbol and letter cipher. He said his name was in the cipher........? You can easily make out Herb Caen or Arthur Leigh Allen. Sleuths don't be fooled!!!! This is much too simple and much too brief to figure out. Somebody, the Zodiac himself, is trying to shed the light on someone else and it follows a pattern that we've seen before, more than once. Do you remember how Ralph Spinelli and Don Cheney would shift our attention towards Arthur Leigh Allen? This is more of the same. The Zodiac didn't or does not want to be caught because he enjoys killing too much! I think we are closer than we think to knowing the real identity of the killer. I don't think that Cheney or Spinelli had the brains or especially the patience to write the long rambling messages that the Zodiac did. But - we probably have mentioned the Zodiac's name in our conversations and didn't know it. Looking for patterns, I think that this is the best shot that we have had in all our conversations. There is just one more word that might lead us to the killer ----- titwillow.

Zodiac
Last night in a conversation with a friend I mentioned that there is a possibility that there is no real person called the Zodiac and that there is a person or persons taking credit for random murders as they occur. This could be true but with so many young attractive girls being murdered it doesn't seem likely.
Coming up this Friday there is a radio program on WGY in Schenectady at eleven o'clock P.M. where they might be discussing past murders and the Zodiac topic might be mentioned. WGY is at 810 on the A M dial. If they do mention the Zodiac it thought I might have the availability of calling in the station if calls are accepted.
I might have mentioned this before but Arthur Leigh Allen told Ralph Spinelli at his bar, the Crazy Horse Saloon, that he could perform a service for him such as getting rid of unwanted characters. He said he could do this because he said he was Zodiac. It's interesting in the way he put it. He didn't say he was THE Zodiac but that he was Zodiac. It almost seems to hint that he might be affiliated with another person who was the real Zodiac and that he was just an affiliate. Sorting out the truth in his case seems to be a little difficult. Remember, Don Cheney and Arthur Leigh Allen were "friends" at one time.
There is something else I noticed. Sometimes when I read the Zodiac's messages I seem to sense a variance in continuity of his sentences. It almost seems that more than one person is writing the messages. The variance in continuity is from one message to another. There is a distinct possibility that more than one person is writing these notes. Some sentences have misspelled words in them while others don't. Also in the early messages a lot of feeling was entered about slaves in his after life while these "slaves" seemed to have dropped away in later paragraphs. You have to get the psychological "feeling" of these readings and then you can begin to tell and also feel the comparison. I guess some people would attribute this to being psychic but the feeling when reading the Zodiac's notes is impossible to avoid. Everyone who reads the Zodiac's writings gets something different and
that's what makes the enigma so fascinating.

Zodiac
It should be noted that in the Zodiac's ciphers all his letters and symbols are very even latitude wise but not so much longitudinally. It's almost as if he used a straight edge as he wrote them. We should also pay attention to what he doesn't mention along with what he does mention. He starts out in the 11/8/69 cipher with Herb Caen and finishes with detective Dave Toschi. That means those names were foremost in his mind and in that order. I don't think he ever mentions Robert Graysmith in his writings along with many of the law enforcement officers who were at the scene of the crimes after they were enacted.
It's almost a certainty that Donald F. and Eric Z. spoke to the Zodiac at the scene of the Paul Stein murder. It's too bad that Donald can't offer more as to what the Zodiac seemed like, personality wise, from his encounter near the murder site. That was an opportunity missed.
Here's something to think about! As the Zodiac wrote the 340 symbol cipher, when he had a change of thought, he changed from letters to symbols. This happens throughout the whole cryptogram. In other words he left a "mental fingerprint" as he wrote. Numerology also plays a part in the cipher and is used throughout the paragraph. Seven girls and seven girls murdered in S. F. , etc. The way he thinks or thought is something he cannot hide from the public because it is an integral part of his psychological makeup. I find the expression titwillow, titwillow, titwillow very interesting. I'll have to look this up because it sounds like it might be connected to an old English or possibly Irish limerick or poem. Therein might be a good lead as to whom the Zodiac is or was.
In the meantime I'll keep brousing through Graysmith's paperback and wait for something new to pop into my head. Those who saw him said he was big and overweight and this might tend to make him lethargic and lazy and less likely to plant a bomb at Mt. Diablo or do anything which requires much physical labor. The one thing that we might have overlooked is the fact that he might have been caught on videotape buying some of the equipment that he needed for one of his elaborate set-ups.
Till next time...............
