Good job, Morf. This letter is ****ed up!

I agree with you Phil, that was totally what I thought too. If the guy did live/get drafted in NY he could have wrote from Berkeley because that’s where he was hanging out with all the hippies and wanted the draft board to know.

I can see why people thought this could be Z, that’s obvious. Too many non matches to my eye. and the guy signed his freakin name? I don’t think that’s very Z…

Good points, but a couple things, if this was Z for a second, he might not have any reason to hide his name since this was sent BEFORE any confirmed Z murders,plus, we dont know what name he signed

That page with the drawing was doing my eyes in with all that interference, I’ve cleaned it up and tried to leave the entire handwriting marks alone but sometimes it was hard to distinguish:

One phrase that jumped out at me was ‘Like His Master’s Voice’ – was that in common use in the USA in the 60’s? It’s something that’s quite famous in Britain, it was an ancient record label under EMI and was an unoffical title for a famous painting of a dog looking at a gramophone. Very common in the UK and the commonwealth but I don’t know if EMI used this branding in the US? Possible British-English influence .

Very, very common in the US. I used to have some old Victor records, inherited I guess. And I’m not that old.

"His master’s voice" was used by RCA/RCA Victor as their logo. In 1931 EMI and RCA merged, by 1935 they split but EMI continued to distribute RCA in the UK. So, yes the phrase and picture were very common in the US.

This looks like the kind of gibberish Blaine Blaine would write..

I think the drawing MAY be of (what is now) the Tiburon museum. Check out the older photos:

1920 Paradise Drive

Remember your post Morf on Forummotion in 2011. A woman was found 20 feet off Paradice Drive, Tiburon. She was wearing a red dress, like you stated about the Riverside Desktop Poem. Also on part 61 Christopher J Farmer on Opordanalytical, points to 3141 (Pi), Paradise Drive as the area of possible Zodiac burial sites. 22 miles east of where Leona Roberts body was found on a beach at Bolinas Lagoon, Marin County.

I doubt that you have met or spoken to Blaine, or you would have a very different opinion of him. I know because I have spoken to him in person more than once and believe me he is extremely intelligent !
He would not need to write a letter to any draft board, because he was 4F already, do to his poor eye sight, he was not born in1947 .

MK-Zodiac has a report of his, you and others might want to read it and get a better idea of who he is.

Since the Lady in the Red Dress has been mentioned a couple of times now, I thought I would repost the articles I was able to get on her. I believe when I originally posted them, ages ago, we came to the conclusion that she probably had nothing to do with the Zodiac murders.

I would think that someone’s handwriting would change if one were on LSD. I have never taken LSD so my impressions are limited to those who used it and related that to me. This person certainly sounds like they are on LSD. Why would law enforcement consider this suspicious if sent before the first murders, there must be something else.
By the way, welcome to the San Francisco Bay Area 1968, so you can get a feel for what the culture was like for the Zodiac Killer.

I’ve read the report at that site..And although the draft board letters may not have been written by him, the nonsensical nature of the letters bare a striking similarity to his nonsensical report..You have your opinion and I have mine..no harm to foul Sandy..

LSD can affect people in wildly different ways so I doubt we can really say one way or another on that front. I agree that there’s got to be something about this that raised LE’s suspicions, but what? Maybe it’s as simple as them thinking the military connection was solid and due to the draft it was worth checking any ‘weird’ letters any military office had received over the previous few years.
As an aside, I googled Marin County and fog banks and got a couple of good hits on the coast so it certainly does look like he’s referring to a specific place, whoever he is.

I think it will be next to impossible to figure out who wrote this (Zodiac or Not). ‘IF’ he used his real info, name, addess,and SS#, then you would think he almost certainly would have to have been ruled out.

Personally, I think Z lived in Vallejo area, but Berkeley has been mentioned before(questioned document if i remember correctly threatening or mentioning a bay area shrink), also, I remember the psychic Deluise predicted Zodiac lived in Berkeley(not that I buy everything psychics say).

While I see some differences, I see some similarity too. Two things on this that stick out like a sore thumb, the double postage (cant tell how much these stamps were or how many stamps were required), and the obvious unmistakable ‘Z’ in the mail to address. These two items were done BEFORE Z ever mailed a letter in the Zodiac case. This needs to be looked into more.

The stamps are the writer, naturalist and protestor THOREAU.

That stamp was issued in 1967 with value of 5 cents.

Can we tell if that is a postcard, or an envelope? I would think,judging by all of the drawings,letters,etc, he mailed it in an envelope,no?

Efffective Jan. 1968, a letter was .06 cents, and .05 cents for a postcard.
