This is awesome work, Dave!
I have entered the key from the video min 4:44 into the cipher. This is the result:
Regarding 4:57 min – Where can you read the text (SOHEENBECAUSE…) – I can’t even find the word ‘BECAUSE’? As in the video it is said "the same key with the same reading direction"?
This, so far, leads the ‘solution’ to be bogus. Or am I missing something? Please correct me if I am wrong. Doranchak – I have used your key: Please, can you show where the word ‘BECAUSE’ shall be written, thanks?

My thoughts on the message….
1) The message is not nearly as exciting as the 408 message.
2) The message is drab and Zodiac seems to be down and out.
3) The resulting drab message does not measure up to the sophistication of the coding.
4) He probably thought it would be solved hence did not leave any clues to his Identity.
5) He had beyond basic coding skills but his attention span was limited to the point of making mistakes in coding.
Claim in Min 7:09 cannot be found either. Not the word ‘SLAVERS’ but ‘SNRFES’ instead..
A lot of explanations missing, so far. All of which could have been done before going into public, imo.

OMG…Doranchak, hopefully there will be a super rock-solid explanation of how the text can be read..otherwise you are in ‘deep real estate’, imo

Well done all. that is some great news.

he has a fourteen minute youtube video about it. i was able to follow along without issue.
Outstanding work! Bravi!!
Just a note, wouldn’it make much more sense if the two extra words would be put at the end? In this way you don’t have repetitions, and the message ends with a very fitting “Death is life”
I like that. Definitely sounds cleaner
I AM NOT AFRAID BECAUSE I KNOW MY NEW LIFE IS
LIFE WILL BE AN EASY ONE IN PARADICE DEATH

I thought the video presentation was actually really well done and explicit. Did you watch it?

Zodiac WAS watching TV when Melvin Belli came on! What time and day was the show on?
A guy on reddit claims that applying the key to the Z13 it gives:
E C I D A R A P A _ I E P
That’s interesting for sure, if confirmed.
Doranchak, do you think it’s worth a try?

Wow, absolutely incredible news. Stunned. Awesome work.
