These photos are of World War I cryptographers trained by William and Elizebeth Friedman, in Aurora, Illinois, early 1918. By facing either forward or sideways, the soldiers formed a coded phrase using Francis Bacon’s biliteral cipher. The intended message was the Baconian motto “Knowledge is power,” but there were insufficient people to complete the r (and the w was compromised by one soldier looking the wrong way).

A French cold case has just been resolved, called the "Le Grêlé" case ("Pockmarked-faced killer"). Identified a couple of days ago, François Vérove, a retired gendarme and policeman, raped or raped and killed several teenage girls and two adults in Paris and its region between the mid-80s and the mid-90s. Despite a composite picture described as very faithful by key witnesses and surviving victims, and the police having his DNA profile, Le Grêlé's identity remained a mystery for 35 years.

Described as having a pockmarked face by witnesses, Le Grêlé used a Gendarmerie card on several occasions to control his victims, which eventually led to his identification. As a matter of fact, French police decided  to summon and interview "batches" of former gendarmes and policemen whose ages and former places of living corresponded with Le Grêlé's crimes. 

As a retired motorcycle gendarme and policeman, François Vérove was summoned last week but never showed up at the police station. Instead, he wrote a letter explaining that he was indeed the killer called Le Grêlé and that he regretted his crimes, then committed suicide. 

He was a father and a grand-father who also served as a city councillor for years. His relatives have declared they are shocked by this announcement.

The investigation continues in order to check if he may have committed other unsolved crimes.

Interesting to see another member of law enforcement doubling as a serial killer! Maybe Zodiac was a cop too.
