And why did he pick S?

Because the word solved starts with S.

Solution confirmed.

“6 + 14 + 16 – 18 = 18 → ‘S’.”

Ciao @shaqmeister! Regarding what I think I’ll be publishing in the coming days (hopefully) you might want to watch this video.

In short, the person you’ll see in the video is V. Vecchione, who, after 35 years, managed to identify the magazine used by the Monster of Florence to compose the anonymous letter sent to prosecutor Silvia Della Monica.

That letter represents one of the most significant and concrete pieces of evidence in the case: inside it, in fact, there was a fragment of human tissue belonging to one of the last victims.

I’ve had a quick look at this and am sure that it will interest me. I will, however, need to spend some time with it so that I can work on a translation of what is being said. Thanks for posting it, though.
