if you take just the letters from My Names is cipher and not the symbols you get AM MAN KEN. If you take the backwards N in the Halloween card as a clue that helps to spell Knife. Using the word Knife you get the anagram KEN IF as to be pronounced KENNITH. I don’t put to much faith in anagrams or have a dog in the fight since I don’t have a POI named Ken but just find it noteworthy. Also was there any suspects that were named Ken ?

My opinion on the anagram is….

First 4 letters A E N K = Anagram KANE
Three Circled Eights = 24. Lawrence Kane was born in 1924.

I think the cipher may indeed be an anagram, but I think it’s possible that the author’s name almost appears visible just by looking at the cipher, and that the ‘circled 8’s’ are actually Taurus symbols, and represent the letter E

The Taurus symbol would again fit Kane being born late April. But yes I agree Morph, I have stated on another thread that this is not, IMO, a cipher, but an anagram. In His Ciphers he used many symbols to mask letters. He doesn’t do that here, there letters are there for you to see.

I’m 99.9% sure those are 8’s and not taurus symbols. Actually, I’m gonna grow a pair – I’ve seen a pretty hi res version – they are FLIPPING 8’s lol.

I think they are also. 3 x 8 = 24. The year of his Birth I believe.

I do have a good person of interest with an interesting date of birth that might make sense of they are indeed circled 8’s…..
A fellow Ramona HS, Riverside class of 66 graduate along side Cheri Jo Bates, moved with his Parents to Napa in later 67 to early 1968. His date of birth is
08/18/48. He is one of only two students that graduated with Cheri that I could trace back to Napa or Vallejo

Wow maybe you should make a topic about him and what you can tell. I see on the old board someone else also had a POI named Ken.

Stitch, I found timecops post "a guy named ken". Not the same guy. Interesting take timcop had on kens name formulating from the paradice slaves "by fire, gun etc. Etc ". I too have his name in that same location but not put together the way timecop has.

Glad you found there post Soze and didn’t think it was the same Ken as yours. Timecop does have a interesting take on the Halloween card and cool you can see your suspects name there too. Looking forward to hearing more about you’re suspect when you get the break.
