Correcting misinformation on the red mask being orange

BDHolland — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 13:56:07 +0000

REDDIT:

"Everything fits my hypothesis. Even the Skeleton has a RED MASK on." u/B-D-Holland

FIXED:

The above-mentioned hypothesis concerning the true identity of the Zodiac killer is featured in a website and e-book created by anonymous Internet user "b-d-holland." Hilariously, a key piece of Holland's "evidence" relies on something being red, when in fact it is orange. Buyer beware of "b-d-holland."
-- THE MASK BELOW IS CLEARLY ORANGE, NOT RED --

From https://www.zodiackiller.com/FixingReddit.html

Tom Voight, who once called himself a web site designer did not understand that he can use a dropper on a paint program to give him color codes.

He doesn't know how to use RGB or hex notations. Like web design 101 class 1 year 1.

So he guessed Orange.

It was wrong.

R - 84.7
G - 22.7
B - 3.9
Rounded up to (85,23,4) = Maroon, Red Brown or Seal Brown

R - 94.9
G - 38.4
B - 34.9

Rounded up to (95,39,35) = Saddle Brown or Oxide Red

Negative for Orange, positive twice for a red tint.

Hex code e45453 is one in Tom's clipping above. The name of this one. Mainly Red.

So hopefully that cleared up his guess work against these strong facts we can measure in computer science.

Zig zag symbol: overlay it on a map?

egg — Sun, 27 Dec 2020 00:25:38 +0000

Note that he included the symbol on the enveloppe and the card, which could imply it actually is a clue. On the enveloppe it is where one would usually write the return address, and a Z under it. So taking it a face value, it is "The Zodiac's return address". So assuming the symbol represents a location, I decided to superimpose the symbol on a map of Vallejo, looking for a match to streets or roads. Could be anywhere else, just looked for a quick match without zooming in too much to focus on the main roads. I added the dots too, just to not omit them. If this was to be overlaid on a map, maybe those four dots would help find landmarks to get a match. Would have to consider those present at the time. This is the easiest match I found yet. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Valle ... 22.2566367 With the symbol as found on the card: With the one as found on the enveloppe: Both match one another well-enough in terms of stem lengths and dot placement, which could add weight to the idea that they are expected to be overlaid on a map, as otherwise depending on which you would use you would end up with mismatches, so he was seemingly careful on drawing both similarly to not break the "game". If I just try and overlay the original on a zoomed out map, aligning it like I did in the image above, the only thing I can see with the circles is they are somewhat close to some landmarks. One dot is at Vallejo High School (on the left). One is at the high school's baseball field. One is at Highland Elementary School on the right. One is at Amador Park. Anyone has a map of Vallejo from no later than 1971? The one I found seems to have the north part missing, or the roads that match at the top of the F didn't exist back then.

Inspiration for the card

Hi all, I think I may have found the inspiration for the card design plus a tenuous link to Arthur Lee I welcome any thoughts I put the images and video here http://www.gembryn.com

Halloween Card Breakthrough

Shawn — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 05:39:16 +0000

I made this video showing some interesting findings I made..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzFmu-JVY-o Let me know what you guys think. Below are clippings from the October 27th, 1970 SF Examiner - Same Day Halloween Card Mailed. Was Zodiac inspired to mail the card on the 27th because of what he read in the paper? Being inspired by the rare wording "why spoil the game" as found on the Halloween Card. Adding "L" to Averly as a clue to Twombly the sportswriter who quoted golf player "Lee" Trevino saying "Why Spoil the game". Plus on page 14 there is the story of Nancy Bennallack. 14, 4-TEEN

Could this card be from a hoaxer?

mccririck — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 11:42:59 +0000

What evidence is there to believe it is from the real Zodiac? Note there was a thread started in 2013 about this card and a few others: viewtopic.php?f=78&t=168

new thought on "eyes" of Halloween Card & Map

Toots — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 04:46:23 +0000

I'd like to get as many people to review my overlay of the Halloween Card and the 1st confirmed Zodiac murder at Blue Rock Springs. There were several things I noticed about the skeleton on the inside of the card; 1) The feet in a triangle were bizarre, I certainly think it's a clue to either triangles or a Mt. I've never seen a skeleton with feet positioned like this. 2) One of the "eyes", (which I believe are disguised as "C's", as in Clues is exactly similar to the Columbus Parkway that cuts through Blue Rock Springs. 3) The skeleton reminded me of the outline of the SF Bay. When I turned the skeleton upside down, the pelvis fit in the North Bay and the upperbody fit in the East Bay. Even the leg bones mimicked the Richmond Bridge and GG Bridge. 4) both hands are somewhat hanging from the San Mateo Bridge "posts" at Hayward and San Mateo. I've mapped the "eyes" to known Z sites, Blue Rock Springs, LHR, even an area that (thanks to Sandy for pointing out) potentially Kathleen Johns was driving around. One of the "eyes" is also positioned near the Antioch Bridge. Sandy also mentioned a Nurse committing "suicide" from the Bridge sometime between (1969-1970). Could Zodiac have been giving clues to his 13 sites? Is the angle that I have the Halloween Card overlayed have the "O' in Boo even close to be set to Mag. North?

Skull Eyes Different between Movie Card and FBI picture

Shawn — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:17:47 +0000

Hello, In 2007 Fincher put out a mostly verbatim Halloween card for his Zodiac movie. It was verbatim except for the skull eye, especially the right eye. A big deviation. Any thoughts on why this happened?

Peek-A-Boo High School Yearbook

themikado90 — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 18:42:38 +0000

Hi everyone, I was going through Ron Allen's yearbook from Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo Junior High School and discovered a peek-a-boo in a collage of all the students. It might not be of any significancy but it does seem somewhat eerie. If we presume Zodiac lived and/or grew-up in or around Vallejo then he must be in one of these yearbooks. Has anyone ever done an extensive scan of all the yearbooks starting from, say, 1954? Dave
