Comparison of Celebrity Cipher Card and some Zodiac writing, put together by me and AweShucks.

sandy betts, Subject: Z note Fri Aug 13, 2010 1:56 pm

The card is so very Z like to me, and the Idea that the first letters look like ROBT. I like that card very much LOL. I do believe that it was a warning of a killing at a Sandy beach in Calif. The Z enjoys giving fair warnings.
Check out the date it was mailed.
Naturally anyone who has a suspect in jail, or long dead, would not see how Z like it is. I tend to believe that the Zodiac is very much alive and is still killing, but not announcing it, just as he said he would do. That could be the only time he told the truth ?

I am pretty sure there will be more information about that Celeb card, when Lyndon’s book comes out towards the end of the year. Zam and I will be the first in line to get a autographed copy of that book !

AK Wilks, Subject: Re: Celebrity Cipher Tue Feb 28, 2012 4:37 pm

Just bumping this as it was recently mentioned.

It does say "SANDY BEACHES – CALIFORNIA" on the lower left side.

There have been some attempts to solve the code, but not yet an agreed proven solution.

This is what I came up with a while back. Warning: I was more into anagrams back then, now I think extreme anagrams have too much possible variation and multiplicity of solutions, thus I am not as crazy about them, but some limited anagram use is possible, as mentioned by the FBI in their analysis of the 340 Cipher.

D G O L R
O T N H U L A P
T E U R S L T C V R
OT U A C O S, L (A, S or J)

T E _ L
U Y _ H
H O D I H P
T M
D G O L R
O T N H U L A P

September 25, 1990

The "_" means I have no clue. The rest I have made very, very early provisional possible first stage solves using Harden, 340 and Fairfield. SOME of these or even a LOT of these could be wrong. There could be a "V" symbol before the "T E _ L", and in Harden that is a "B".

Could be some are regular anagrams (DGOLR = Gold R?) , maybe some or all then use Caesar 0-3-6-9?

This is PROBABLY a Zodiac hoax. The message could read "ha ha dumb cops North High rocks go Raiders! PS I luv Kelly".

In May 1990 Judi Bari was car bombed in OAKLAND and someone probably mailed a strange Zodiac Xmas card to the Chronicle in December 1990 from EUREKA, where bari had been protesting.

That the reverse of the card is said to have driftwood on an ocean beach is interesting.

I feel compelled to give a shot to any possible Z code, even if it is 90% likely a hoax.

As a regular anagram the fourth line can give you: OUST ALCOA or COAST LA (with OU left over).

Regular anagram application can give:

GOLD COAST LA

Meaning "Gold Coast Los Angeles".

Regular anagram application can give:

GAVIOTA TUNNEL ORANGE COAST

Site of June 1963 murder of couple. Their bodies were dragged into a driftwood shack by the beach. The image on the front of the card is said to be driftwood on a sandy beach by the ocean.

If this was a hoax, perhaps the hoaxer was well versed in Zodiac possible crimes.

NOTE: I now think much of this possible translation I did was wrong. Someone translated the fourth line as OAKLAND, CA and I now think that is likely correct.

One of the things that makes me think this MIGHT be real is that 1990 was when Zodiac mailed an Xmas card (approximate 22th anniversary of Xmas week 1968 attack), and this card was mailed on the 21th anniversary of the Zodiac LB attack on 9/27/69. Add to that the evidence that TJK was in Northern Cal in winter of 1990 and in Oakland in summer/fall 1990.

I can’t say if this card ir real or hoax, but it does interest me. And it lacks the copycat language and show off nature of most hoaxes.

There are strong evidentiary and MO links between the SB beach attack and the Zodiac LB beach attack. Same .22 LR ammo Winchester Super X used in SB and Zodiac LHR 68, and SB 63 and LB 69 share use of knife – gun – rope, ordering female to tie male, then tightening, overkill gun shot wounds and overkill stab wounds, attack on couple on a blanket at the beach.

On something like the February 5, 1964 "Honeymoon Murder" of newly married US Navy sailor Swindle and his wife by a .22 rifle in San Diego, on the beach. Like SB and LB, we have a .22 caliber LR ammo attack on a couple at a beach. Then there is the knife murder of John Hood, a decorated Vietnam Vet, and girlfriend Sandra Garcia, at Cemetery Beach in Santa Barbara, on Feb 21, 1970.

Now, there was also a man named Joseph Henry Burgess who was killing couples with a .22 in California! He just got killed in New Mexico. He might have done the 2004 Allen – Cutshall murders in Jenner, CA, but his MO and other factors make it unlikely he did these ones.

There is some evidence linking these couples murders – 63 SB, 64 SD, 69 LB and 70 SB. The gun used in SB 63 was not the same gun as 64 SD, though they were both .22 caliber. The ammo from 63 SB and 68 LHR match up.

ROLAND and http://www.zodiologist.com also did an impressive possible solution to this code:

I think it says:

DIRGE
SET UP RED
EXPERIENCE
RIPENED, IO
PT FOR
PLEA /
AS DEAD
EX
DIRGE
SET UP RED

They offer some very interesting possible references that their proposed code solution may make to SB 63, suspect "Sandy" as researched by Ricardo of http://www.mk-zodiac.com , the Donna Lass case, a poem and a Dylan song.

I would also note this card is postmarked OAKLAND September 25, 1990, and that in OAKLAND on May 24, 1990, activist Judi Bari was blown up in a car bomb. She was a feminist, environmentalist and had demonstrarted in support of the Nicaraguan communists, and was labeled by her critics as a "RED". Her bomber admitted in a letter he had planted a bomb at a lumber mill in an attempt to set up Bari as having done that bombing.

This might be what you refer to.

I made this "solution" back in Aug 2009.

I based it on that that someone else, can´t remember who, belived the town in the addres was Oakland, CA. and I took it from there filled in the letters from "Oakland, CA" and guessed the rest of the letters that is in my "solution"
I´m certanly NOT saying my "Solution" is correct, it was just my try on it, and I´m NOT skilled in ciphers/codes whatsoever.

AK Wilks, Subject: Re: Celebrity Cipher Wed Feb 29, 2012 1:02 pm

I asked thebigZ and Doranchak if they had any thoughts on this. BigZ said he would look through his notes. Doranchak said:

I’ve looked at that cipher before but haven’t spent much time with it.

The most interesting "chunk" of the cipher, to me, is this: IZY+FBI>c+ [NOTE: This is the 3rd line].

Looks like that is a 10-letter word, whose 1st and 7th positions are the same, and whose 4th and 10th positions are the same.

Here are 10-letter words in English that match that pattern:

oglethorpe
attendance
acceptable
acceptance
transition
restaurant
allegiance
liberalize
aftertaste

Perhaps plugging in one of those, or some other matching word, will reveal more plaintext in the remainder of the cipher.

AK Wilks: Interesting idea. Or could "FBI" in the 3rd line actually mean "FBI"?

I think the possible solution Trav1st posted above may have some merit. I agree with the 4th line of OAKLAND, CA. And the DO YOU KNOW (WHAT) MY NAME IS seems to fit quite nicely! Looking at the 5 symbol, 8 symbol repeat at the start and finish, what is that? That seems to be the "NAME"? I may see if ALORD SAVENGER ILORD AVENGERS or some variation fits.

I agree the Zodiac crosshair could be "N", but the crosshair filled in may be something else, maybe "I" or "A".

I did a search for "Celebrity Cipher" at newspaperarchive.com. The oldest Celebrity Cipher puzzle I could find ran in newspapers in 1993, in the Ukiah Daily Journal. This does not mean that the puzzles didn’t run in other papers before then. The archive could just not have the papers that ran it at an earlier date.

This is what one of the ciphers looked like. It ran in the UDJ March 14, 1993.

Morf, I posted late last night about the celebrity card, but for what ever reason one of your mods decided it should be deleted ? If I post something that you feel should be deleted at least let me know why ? This is the second time this has happened here. I will attempt to post it again.
Yesterday’s post told that I had seen the code solution. It was done by someone who was taught code in the military, so I believe it to be the true solution.
Sorry but I have been asked to hold off on showing it just yet.( I am very sure it is in Lyndon’s book is why I must wait.)
I can tell you that the front of the card shows a beach front with lots of driftwood , very much like the beach at Jenner.
It’s as if it was a warning that Zodiac was trolling Calif. beaches , looking for more victims ?

The solution has the word "Slut" in it.

AK Wilks, Subject: Re: Celebrity Cipher Wed Feb 29, 2012 2:45 pm

That is cool Sandy, I look forward to seeing that possible solution when you can post it. To my knowledge no mod deleted your post it must have been a tech error we do get those soemtimes.

I would love to see the image on this card…driftwood on a sandy beach does bring to mind 6/4/63, the driftwood shack, the suspect SANDY, the beach…

Seagull thnaks for the info.

So the Celebrity Cipher involves a QUOTE OR SAYING from a famous person. In this respect the possible decrypt of "DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY NAME IS" is a saying or quote from the Zodiac.

I agree the Zodiac crosshair could be "N", but the crosshair filled in could be something else, maybe "I" or "A".

Never noticed that!

In my opinion, the top left of the postcard is no doubt a return name & address(ending in ST for street), and just below it, we see the address of the Vallejo Times herald. Then, we see the author’s name signed at the bottom right of the postcard again. (it ends in TROUT) …which ends "MY NAME IS"..like the cipher from Zodiac. Can we crack this?

Example: "MY NAMES IS TROUT(looks like the word TROUT anyhow) _______" 5 letters in his first name, and 8 in his 2nd name.

IMO, he lives on a Street because it ends in ST as opposed to LANE or DRIVE, etc. Also the town could be VALLEJO, OAKLAND,or any other 7 letter town around there.

Here is what I have:

the ‘M’ symbol stand for the letter M
the backwards ‘D’ symbol stands for letter Y
Crosshair Symbol stands for letter N
The Triangle symbol stands for letter A
The 9 symbol stands for letter E
The ‘I’ symbol stands for letter I
Backwards Q symbol stands for letter S
the ‘B’ symbol stands for letter C

Also, I can not see the image well, is there two types of crosshair symbols? One that is is filled in and one that is not, or is that just my eyes?

To me, the last name of this person is 8 letters long, starts with a Y and ends with a E. Any ideas?

But his first name does not seem to match the first name of the cipher.hmmm

If anybody wants the name and would like to poke around with it, send me a PM. The guy was born in the bay area,and lived in the bay area in the 80’s and 90’s,but he is listed in the 1965 Riverside phone book. His last name is so unusual that I have no doubt it is the same guy!

But this cipher is not going to contain anyone’s real name. The newspaper celebrity cipher is a quote or saying from a famous person. If this is Zodiac real or fake the code probably has a saying from Zodiac. We may have parts of this right, the "Oakland, CA" and the "My Name Is".

I do think there are TWO different symbols, a regular crosshair and a crosshair filled in.

"NUDGE PIMP SULE INSENSIBLE DUSTBIN, SO IF YOU SHAM ME MY NAME IS NUDGE PIMP SULE"

Maybe Z was angry about not getting a letter printed or people wearing buttons..’Sule’ als could be ‘sure’, however the name Nudge exists:

The last line does look a lot like PLAYOVID, backwards and with OVID upside-down. Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, is based on Ovid’s story, Pyramus and Thisbe. And, in Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pyramus and Thisbe is enacted and often referred to as a play within a play. These stories are about young lovers, meetings in odd places, illicit love.

Also consider that there are no other V’s in the cipher and if it was a straight substitution it should be an F anyway.

traveller1st, Subject: Re: Celebrity Cipher Sat Mar 03, 2012 1:49 am

Well there are other examples in the proposed solution that have more than one symbol assigned to a letter. That’s homophonic isn’t it and if it’s the other way round with the same symbol assigned different letters that’s polyalphabetic? is that right.

I’m asking, well for one I can’t remember lol, and also to figure out what this one could be cause I can’t think of any two letter words that start with K.

Also it might be a v but I thought it was something I should point out once I thought I saw it. In the grand scheme of things it might not affect it all that much to matter. Some more zynchronicity for ya – the symbols on the left hand side of the post card number 32.

AK Wilks, Subject: Re: Celebrity Cipher Sat Mar 03, 2012 1:53 am

I mean presumably the stamp was affixed by the person who sent it so why write over it and not avoid it and you certainly wouldn’t stick the stamp over part of it unless it was no longer meant to part of the cipher.

Officer Husted phoned to report that he checked at Kentwig Lodge and GEORGE identified as George XXXXXX. He only worked there one day and when he left he gave his address as 20 Sandy Beach Road. Stated that he could be contacted there if his services were needed.

George it seems had many different jobs and addresses with the Sandy Beach Road address being just one. LE did finally catch up with him in Yountville, Napa County, to interview him. He is mentioned on a few different pages of the report.

I was not aware that there was a road by that name in Vallejo until seeing it in the report last night. It probably does not have anything to do with the cipher card but thought I’d mention it just in case someone can make something of it.

Is that a cat wearing a taco?

Yes there is an area called Sandy Beach & a Sandy Beach Road in Vallejo, right on the water. Sandy & I went there an snooped around. We did a report on it on the old defunk Zodiaczee. I might still have that information. This is were George XXXXXXX once lived.

I just have this image of you and Sandy with deerstalkers and oversized magnifying glasses.

Cat, the other white meat! Yes, s/he is wearing a taco costume. I have never seen a cat look so calm and collected while being dressed up. I put a Christmas sweater on my cat once and he totally freaked out and started racing around the room backwards. I had a hard time catching him to get the dang thing off. It took a little while for me to regain his trust after that, I felt terrible about it!

OK, but I’ll need rice and beans on the side, and a large pitcher of margaritas.

Probly had it already and just don’t know it.

Always thought it was a taco. All this cat talk got me looking at some old photos on my phone of our cat brindle when we got her. She was so tiny and cute. Now she big, cute and lethal. Haven’t tried any animal cruelty with her yet, I mean dressing up

Yeah we were roaming around…it was kinda creepy & it was getting late. It was a full moon nite which
make it eerier. Also saw Pine Trees there, and my imagination was getting the better of me. So, we left
& headed to the Old Past Time Bar in Benicia to try to find this guy who supposedly has some Z stories.
Never found him…but we did have fun! >grin< If my memory serves me
correctly George W lived in number 20. I must admit it’s totally cool to be able to sleuth around!

Yeah I ‘ve been there Zam. I mean figuratively in the creepy scenario sense. I could tell you some ghost stories.

I’m actually a bit disappointed with myself. I had some thoughts about this celebrity cipher and I can’t remember them or find if I noted them down anywhere. I just know I had something in the back of my head that fitted quite well,

the bottom right line reads from right to left play ovid…Ovid.read somewhere was a roman poet/ satirist

http://ancienthistory.about.com/cs/people/a/ovid.htm

EDIT: Also to add that if the last two lines are a name they contain 13 letters.

Never noticed that!

In my opinion, the top left of the postcard is no doubt a return name & address(ending in ST for street), and just below it, we see the address of the Vallejo Times herald. Then, we see the author’s name signed at the bottom right of the postcard again. (it ends in TROUT) …which ends "MY NAME IS"..like the cipher from Zodiac. Can we crack this?

Example: "MY NAMES IS TROUT(looks like the word TROUT anyhow) _______" 5 letters in his first name, and 8 in his 2nd name.

IMO, he lives on a Street because it ends in ST as opposed to LANE or DRIVE, etc. Also the town could be VALLEJO, OAKLAND,or any other 7 letter town around there.

Here is what I have:

the ‘M’ symbol stand for the letter M
the backwards ‘D’ symbol stands for letter Y
Crosshair Symbol stands for letter N
The Triangle symbol stands for letter A
The 9 symbol stands for letter E
The ‘I’ symbol stands for letter I
Backwards Q symbol stands for letter S
the ‘B’ symbol stands for letter C

Also, I can not see the image well, is there two types of crosshair symbols? One that is is filled in and one that is not, or is that just my eyes?

To me, the last name of this person is 8 letters long, starts with a Y and ends with a E. Any ideas?

I’m agreeing with Morf’s work here.
Anyone know a POI whose first and last names put together would give you a version of TROUT? Hmmm. Let me think :scratch:
The author spells the name Herald as Herold. Anyone know a suspect whose first name was changed to his middle name because he was named after his father, Harold. Hmmm. Let me think. :scratch:
Must be another series of coincidences. Like everything in this case. All just a coincidence.
The stamp is of Marianne Moore. Her initials are MM. Anyone think of a POI whose organization was abbreviated MM? :scratch:

The Celebrity Cipher was never authenticated by anyone in LE, correct?

Hmmm. I see Zodiac symbols, and some of the letters resemble Zodiac printing.
Yes, it appears to be a name with a return address.

If that is from Troy Houghton, you have just confirmed (for me at least) TH was not the Zodiac killer.
