OK, I am going to try to upload this map.

This includes the murders, the letter drops, and other areas of interest.

Murders are in red.

Confirmed communications are in black.

Rumored or possible events are in yellow.

As always, feedback is encouraged.

Hmmm…any suggestions, tech folks?

Good work Chaucer. Have you noticed that after every attack he seems to heading West?

Was it on a train of consequences?

But on a serious note: Great Work guys. I really feel like investigations like this are whats going to develop some brand new clue/evidence that will help break this case wide open. You guys are doing some seriously amazing stuff here.

You mentioned that Richmond was just a 20 minute walk from where Stine was killed. I thought Richmond was on the other side of the bay?

The Richmond District of San Francisco.

You guys have done an amazing job. Thank you for putting this together.

I’m curious as to how accurate the pins are on Google Maps. Were you able to trace the letters back to the exact postbox or are these approximate locations?

What I find interesting is that the pins are predominantly located in residential areas and near schools. Assuming they are close to his place of employment I would think his likely occupation would be in construction or education. I can’t find any aerial maps from that time, but they should be available from San Francisco’s index to records. Going forward it would be interesting to see what kind of construction occurred between 1968 – 1970 and then find the relevant building permits to determine what companies were involved.

Actually, we pursued further research which determined that the numbers on the postmarks had nothing to do with the location from which they were mailed. Rather it had to do with the machine that sorted it in the post office. This is a dead end unfortunately.

Having said that you pursued an interesting area which hasn’t been discussed much. You might want to track down someone who worked for the San Francisco Post Office back then to find out what the mail cancellation process was like. Did San Francisco collect mail from all boxes and cancel it on Sunday or just some boxes? Or none. Did offices in the region send mail to San Francisco to cancel or did each office cancel its own collection mail? Which pieces were hand cancelled?

I’ll pass that torch to you, friend. I’m exhausted from researching postal stuff to be honest.
