Interesting & Strange. Back in 1980. This little boy was killed around Halloween. Some of the notes said:
It’s Time.
Time is short.
U. R. Next
You have been warned.
And they were signed X

Add 6 month anniversary to that for sending notes as well.

Great follow up U2S. I had read the article in the Huffpost but didn’t think to dig any further. Very curious indeed.

Didn’t Zodiac say something like ‘time is short’ to Hartnell? And that article mentioned the letter warns residents to guard their children,sort of like the Bates confession letter warning that he was stalking their girls. Anybody see a copy of one of the handwritten letters?

He said "It’s about time" to Cheri. Can’t find anything in the Berryessa reports that has him talking about being short on time.

It’s here in this ZK thread:

"’Nah, time is running short" (Hartnell describes Z saying)

Thanks. I thought it sounded familiar but I was looking at the transcript of the Charles Sims.

Here’s Robertson’s full report. It’s near the bottom in the last paragraph.

Lets not forget this one either.

This thread is getting curiouser. I keep thinking about it.

Yes you have to wonder if whoever was responsible might have drawn inspiration in phrasing from some of the Zodiac stuff, at the very least. The relevant ‘stuff’ from CJB had been mostly printed in in the papers, as far back as ’70. Plausible I guess, I mean we suspect that Z might even have done that, taken certain phrases from other serial killers and copycats are unfortunately a sad reality. Even if it’s just a few words and phrases here or there.

The Adamses card though? It was never in the papers and morf only got it in 2012. Still, your, or UR next is a reasonably commoner garden threat.

That being said though this is a most interesting case and I would like to know/find out more. Hopefully the new evidence testing will provide answers for the family.

I hope there is a writing sample available for viewing, just in case….that 1 in a million chance

There seems to be evidence of previous bullying or an attack on this young man. Hate to see cases like these unsolved after so long, I feel for the Victim’s Family members
