                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Have a couple of thoughts regarding this letter but I'd first like to gauge opinion with a couple of questions.....

 1. What was the purpose of this letter/what was Z trying to achieve?
 2. Was he still Z? 
 3. Was he attempting to &quot;slip&quot; one passed LE or had he an expectation that the connection would be made?
 4. Could he be confident either way? ie... that he could slip it by or that it would be recognised?

 Thanks!]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi,

inside the citizen letter, Z writes 'Kit + Holly'...Kit + Holly refers to Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, two teenage spree killers.

There is the idea that Z as a cinema buff simply watching Badlands and therefore had referred to it. Another option could be that Z somehow was connected to this case elsewise. Badlands had appeared in the cinemas at least one year earlier, what makes me a bit supicious is that Z is referring to the year 1959. The Starkweather/Fugate murder spree happened in 1958, but Starkweather was executed in 1959. Z refers to the ad for the movie, eventually has never seen it by himself.

Anybody an idea which ad it had been? Like days before he had sent the letter, SF Chronicle? Badlands had opened on a Friday, letter was sent on Wednesday..

I found this. Something my brain has always ignored and filed under, smudge, actually looks to be the number 5, from a stamp or something? Anyone know what that's about and has it been mentioned before. I don't recall if it has but now I've seen it it's the most obvious thing on the page lol.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Both the Citizen Card and the Red Phantom letter were announced in this article.  

It's interesting to note that although the Citizen Card was postmarked May 8, 1974 it was not received by the Chronicle until June 4, 1974, nearly a month later!
