I haven’t seen anything on this site regarding the CIRCLEVILLE LETTERS MYSTERY-
It is a very involved case and I am no expert on it but I did see some cross over to Ted K

the case involves thousands of threatening written letters to the community of Circleville, OH 1977- 1993? (not sure exact last date of letters)
mostly sent postmarked from columbus, OH
one main target was a children’s school BUS DRIVER named Mary Gillespie

things that stood out or seemed to relate to Ted K:

the envelope (NO ZIP CODE USED)
the words attention mrs. Gillespie were written on the outside of the envelope
the mode of letter writing as means of terrorizing a community
that poison was sent with some of the letters (arsenic)- not that Ted is known to do that but he is linked the the Tylenol poisioning case
the block letter handwriting and distinctive dots :
the booby trapped gun box and signs taunting/teasing Mary Gillespie along her bus driving route which carried children
the desire to confuse police by misleading statements in texts sent to victims (pretending to be a disgruntled school employee)
when a return address was used it was 550 ridgeWOOD
letter was written in 1993 to unsolved mysteries tv show- Ted K is known to contact the media

Its also totally possible that this was an interpersonal affair which had nothing to do with Ted K.
Wondering if anyone has any additional info or ideas about this case.
It was hard to find many images of the letters even though it is said that 1,000 were written over many years.

i have attached a few images

thanks

"Only pigs ride motorcycles". That’s very Zodiac-like.

Interesting. But there’s no way TK could have been in Columbus for that amount of time to send someone in letters. It also doesn’t really fit his range of Interest. It sounds like a Columbus resident had a very specific grudge against this city employee or the city as a whole.

But look at the Atlanta child murders thread in this section. That Liberty Bell stamp is part of the same series and set that several probable Zodiac hoax letters used. So it could conceivably be the same hoaxer. But it still seems more likely this is a Columbus resident with a specific grudge against that person.

‘Please take it serious’

This guy can’t even harm a fly, imo. Barking dogs don’t bite.
