I did a search a minute ago and found a man that fits the bill. I don’t know if he is still alive so I can’t mention the name. I haven’t dug enough to see if he was living in California at the time. However, he was arrested, charged and convicted in 1977 for threatening to kill Jimmy Carter. This guys reasoning for doing so was because he was bored and wanted to make a name for himself. He thought that the best way he could do it was to threaten high profile names like presidents (he threatened more than one throughout his life), judges, politicians, actors and the like. The problem here is that this guy was about 24 when he was convicted of threatening to kill Jimmy Carter. He wasn’t a kid.

I have no idea if the aforementioned 24 y.o. Jimmy Carter hater is the guy (lots of starstruck kooks out there), but since a quick Google search reveals that the Federal Youth Corrections Act (mentioned in the FBI report) applies to offenders aged 18 to 26 :shock: , he might very well be!

So yeah, whoever the writer was, he was definitely on the older spectrum of "kid," lol.

The idea that Burt was listed and he was stalked by someone for years, makes me think this is a true Z letter.
It looks good, but makes no sense to me, why Zodiac would want certain people released?
Was he just looking for more attention after being quite for a while?

A man named Callisha S Lakota, also known as George B. Schneider, seems to be the likely person the government thought wrote this letter. This guy plead guilty in 1978 to have phoned the secret service from a Kentucky jail and threatened Jimmy Carter’s life. He was born in 1957 and was 21 years of age when the letter was written. Can we determine anything on this guy?
