Regarding the initials RA at the end of the ad, the only person I can think of that has those initial and any sort of a connection to the Zodiac case, albeit a thin one, is Ron Allen ALA’s brother. This would explain why Graysmith would have included it in his first book. Of course the initials could stand for something other than actual name.

The ad is curious, that’s for sure. I was the somebody that got the copy of the ad, primarily to confirm that the ad contained the exact content as contended and appeared in the Chronicle at the time that Graysmith claimed. Graysmith didn’t always have accurate dates and so forth.

Thanks Seagull, I didn’t even realize you were that ‘somebody’

Correct me if I am wrong, but, there is no mention of Manalli or this Personal ad in the original yellow book, correct? The Ron Allen piece is interesting. The only thing that would make it more interesting would be the initials, R.H.

I am going to scan thru my unredacted police reports to see if anybody else has those initials

Your right, the ad was only in the second book. I made a boo-boo!

That’s why I tend to think RG didn’t place the ad, his first book didn’t come out till years later, and when it did, he failed to mention the ad. Seems like he would be an unlikely candidate

This was a bit interesting as related to ‘slaves in the afterlife’

R.A. = ‘RESIDENT ADVISOR’?

This one is interesting-

"A resident assistant (also variously known as a resident advisor, community assistant, resident mentor, peer advisor, community advisor, or senior resident), commonly shortened to RA or CA is a trained peer leader who supervises those living in a residence hall or group housing facility. The majority of RAs work at colleges, universities, or residential mental health and substance abuse facilities.[1]

An RA has many roles and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, building a residential community through programming, acting as a para-counselor for students, being a familiar first resource for students with academic or institutional questions, and enforcing residence policies. Typically, but not exclusively, the RA goes through a rigorous training process. An RA must balance his/her own schedule and priorities with the needs of the students he/she is supporting. Above all, a resident assistant must be an example and uphold professional and personal accountability as outlined by the institution."

Thought of this mailing to the Psychiatrist in Orinda-

It does’ contain ‘you are next’, longer version of the ‘you’re next’ as seen in the AD

The “imperial wizard” comment is bizarre. Is it a clan reference? I don’t know.

But I would think the most likely way to have the opportunity to join the Klan would first to be white, second to get a conviction and end up in prison. That doesn’t really narrow it down, but…

Check this out.

I did a search to see if I could find anything related to the KKK and Imperial Wizard that happened in 1976. It seems that an Imperial Wizard, Sam Bowers, of the KKK was released from prison in 1976. The story is a little hard to follow on the website I found this on but apparently Bowers went back to prison in 1998 and died there in 2006. In 2002 he sent Christmas greetings to a fellow patriot. Would you look at the snowman on the letter and notice that the letter was signed Sam. Those two things remind me of the 1990 Eureka card, bigtime!

The entire write up on this letter is available at a murderabilia website, the letter has been sold.

Here is a screen capture of the letter only.

Regarding the initials RA at the end of the ad; could it be, due to reversed Alphabet, a code for I Z ?:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A

R=I
A=Z

IZ = initials meaning; I the Zodiac

Bill Wilkinson 1975-1981

Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was a rival Klan group to David Duke’s Knights of The Ku Klux Klan. The Invisible Empire founded August 1975 was headed by Bill Wilkinson. Both Klan organizations were based in Louisiana. Wilkinson’s group was apparently organized to weaken the support of Duke’s Klan. In a article that appeared in Nashville’s Tennessean Bill Wilkinson was an FBI informant from 1974 to 1981

Don’t know if this info has any relevance but just in case, I post it.

RA is also only one off from SB…. Sam Bowers maybe.
