Personally, I’m more inclined to think that Zodiac did actually include his name somewhere within one of his ciphers. Beyond my own Z13 solution, I ha…
On this point, I don’t really know much more than you do. From what I’ve read, some of the individuals who were investigated and accused of being the …
Ok, now I understand how you’re treating X and Y. I’m not 100% convinced yet, but your reasoning makes sense. As I mentioned a few posts ago, we cou…
But coming back to the point: if the initials were really UL, why not simply use XX as markers instead of XY? If U and L are already in the correct …
I think there’s actually a pretty simple explanation for that. It could just be that the author stuck to the same format used in the previous ciphers,…
I understand your point, and I think I see what you mean when you say that the constraints become tighter once the “HERCULES” layer is fixed. The idea…
I’m not entirely convinced that the order of the initials is that important. If, in the end, we had to choose between UL or LU, I don’t think it would…
If I were the author and my initials were UL, I’d probably make that explicit by using two identical markers (something like XX) ending up with a stru…
Avevo in mente anche un valore compreso tra 16° e 17° Est, e in pratica nessuno dei due è davvero sbagliato. Se ricordo bene, il valore più preciso …
I think I understand your point: once a solid method has been established to derive Hercules, it’s not easy to also “fit in” the author’s initials wit…
Hi @shaqmeister! I’d like to clarify one aspect of your proposal. In this approach, you are essentially excluding the entire first row and relying s…
At this point, it seems quite clear that identifying the city of Hercules is relatively solid and unambiguous. On the other hand, determining Zodiac’s…
Yes, when I did my research, I recall that by the mid-1960s the Hercules Powder Company had already stopped producing explosives and shifted to manufa…
I was already familiar with the Stine case, but not with this particular individual who was initially suspected—that’s definitely an interesting detai…
Ciao @shaqmeister ! In my view, the fact that HERCULE/HERCULES can be read counterclockwise thanks to the two paired symbols doesn’t rule out a seco…
