Here is the actual ad for the Forest Pines condo units at Incline Village that Zodiac used as the basis for his "Peek through the Pines" card.

Was this a clue that Donna Lass is buried at or near Forest Pines at Incline Village?

Notice anything unusual about the horizontal line in the Zodiac symbol on the Pines card as seen above? I would say the horizontal line is on a noticeable INCLINE.

The ad really does say "peek through the pines".

This is the address side of the card. A postcard that one could buy from the post office was used to make this card.

An incorrect premise therefore an incorrect conclusion is that Zodiac never used a lower case character like his a’s on the address side of the Pines or when a upper case should be used can added into the hopper thus leading one to refutation of the Pines as a Z.

Who said the two a’s or "attn" and "averly"were even meant(incorrect premise first year student blunder)to be upper case a’s?
We all know Zodiac didn’t always follow rules that we think he should have used in his missives!!! Note "zodiac"which is hand lettered and determined by Sherwood Morrill State Examiner and world authority or Expert on Z’s writing says was "not inconsistent" with Z’s known writings. This included the brush lettering. Did Z not use a lower case z in Zodiac? http://www.zodiackiller.com/DragonCard.html -"melvin twice does not have an upper case m. Blast does not really need a cap either just the opposite.
Zodiac was not always consistent(second implied false premise) in character presentation,upper/lower case characters,spelling,etc.,etc.We all know this. Z 101.
Not only did Z sometimes use a lower case letter in place of a upper case but did the opposite at times too!!!

Z simply used a lower case a in attn and in averly. Simple. It does not refute anything or that Z wrote and concocted this card.Z followed rules when he wanted to.Why? Because as Jim Nelson always says because he could! I will add and did!!!

The addresses were pasted on the card. Why didn’t Z write them? Evidently, because he did not want to!
He did hand-prints with brush lettering (like on the HC card)in other places which Morrill I’d as Z’s. is proof he was not trying to hide his writing here. Why try and think for him a real not follow the rules psycho? We can all ,of course, speculate why Z did or didn’t do thus and so and we do in posts but this in context is a decision he made which we know should not be taken as a gold standard or consistent trait.

Like why did he burn Johns car? Why play deadly dress up at LB? Why walk up to a car and start shooting kids? Why take a cab just to kill a person? Why -Why?
Why so many inconsistencies in his letters. Why?

Does anyone else see what looks like "fh" above the C in Club in the original postcard and also it appears there is some writing below or at the base of the tree that is to the left of the S in Sierra?

Thanks.

EoT, I see what you are talking about but it looks like sketching technique to me.

When in doubt, don’t.

It looks the same to me as on the original card. But what I find interesting that I didn’t notice before, is that the Zodiac logo looks like it matches up to the hole punch on the other side of the card ? I always felt that the hole in that card was a clue to the hole I believed Donna was buried in.
Now I am thinking that the hole was punched on the front of the card for his logo ? If so the hole on the other side means nothing . Sort of which came first the chicken or the egg ?

I always imagined that if you follow the instructions and ‘peek through the pines’ then you are looking through his logo, or your eye appears in the crosshair, depending on how you want to take it.


I don’t know Chief, he’s very smart or very dumb.

Well Z doesn’t capitalise the initial’s in ‘Paul Averly’ this time, but should that be something pointing to a hoaxer, or could it be relevant and a purposeful attempt on his part? After all, he has once tried to draw the readers attention to Averly being significant by doing this:

He underlines the AV in Averly on this occasion above. Why wouldn’t he try and draw attention to it in another way by this time refusing to capitalise A in Averly?

"Sought victim 12"…

The Zodiac we KNOW was Zodiac had already teased of #12…a hint at Officer Radetich.

They denied Zodiac could have killed Radetich because a black male was their prime suspect. Any solid reason for this or was it just racial profiling?

I take back what I posted about the hole punch on the address side of the card being made. Now that a skull has been found north east of Incline Village, that is where the hole punch is on the other side of the card. I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to hear more!

I thought I would post this here:

Search results for “around in the snow” in books released in the 20th century. Can’t narrow the dates in the search filter but the dates are listed each time:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22arou … dpr=3#ip=1

Some interesting results and not many results to go through.
