MURDER BY NUMBERS

3/16/2018

 
Picture
The Zodiac Killer gave us a running victim count during his five year reign of terror, but how much of what he claimed in his communications can be be attributed to reality or fantasy?

There are differing opinions to how many victims the Zodiac may have condemned to an early grave, ranging from as little as five or less in his widely publicized canonical crimes, to as many as thirty-seven or more, claimed in his final confirmed correspondence on January 29th 1974. The canonical crimes began on December 20th 1968 with the murders of David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen on a lonely turnout in Benicia, and ended with the brutal and callous execution of Paul Stine in Presidio Heights on October 11th 1969.

But can we use mathematics and statistical analysis of his running murder count to evaluate the voracity of the Zodiac Killer's claims. This will be an experimental examination, using the frequency of his alleged murders, to unlock the likelihood of whether he carried on murdering after October 1969, or he simply used statistics himself, and painted a picture of murder by numbers. ​The Zodiac Killer claimed to have murdered seven people between December 20th 1968 and October 11th 1969 (stated on the Dripping Pen card). That is a span of 295 days, or one victim every 42.14 days. The following will have to use the postmark on communications as the time period - so will be approximate.  

The next notable period is from December 20th 1968 to January 29th 1974, when the Zodiac Killer had claimed 37 victims. That is 1,866 days, or one victim every 50.43 days. The next relevant time span is from December 20th 1968 to March 13th 1971 when the Zodiac Killer was claiming 17+ victims, before his communications ceased for nearly three years. Dispensing with the plus symbol for now, this gives a frequency of one victim every 47.82 days. From the Los Angeles letter of March 13th 1971 to the arrival of the Exorcist letter on January 29th 1974 his communications to the newspapers were no more (omitting the 'Pines' card), leaving some to speculate he may have been abroad, or incarcerated in prison or a mental institution. If the Zodiac Killer was denied the opportunity of murder during this period, did he have the foresight to create a viable murder count during his absence - or if still committing murder - had his frequency slowed or increased?

His rest periods from Lake Herman Road to Presidio Heights had considerably shortened between attacks, however, his alleged victim count didn't maintain this pace up to the arrival of the Exorcist letter. From the March 13th 1971 Los Angeles letter to the January 29th 1974 Exorcist letter, he would add a further 20 victims (again disregarding the + symbol for now). If the killer was indisposed for a significant period of this communication 'absence', was he able to create a realistic frequency to his running victim count when he resumed writing. This period of 1,053 days indicated a victim count frequency of 52.65 days - closely aligned with his 47.82 days from December 1968 to March 1971.
Picture
The Zodiac Killer had claimed 14 victims by the time the Halloween card arrived on October 27th 1970, and 17+ victims just 5 1/2 months later. It is not likely the Zodiac failed to remember how many victims he had murdered during this relatively short period. ​The use of 17+ to denote his victim count is also an extremely curious and rather meaningless total in regards to current crimes. If you had killed 30, 50 or possibly 100 victims and had lost count, you may write 50+ for example, but you certainly don't write a specific number such as 17 and bolt an addition sign to it, when it was only a few months since you were claiming 14.

March 13th 1971 possibly marked the last day the Zodiac Killer used the pseudonym under which he was killing. He would never use it again in any future confirmed correspondence, including four letters received in 1974. The addition sign was likely signifying the crimes he was claiming down south, including the murder of Cheri Jo Bates in Riverside on October 30th 1966, when he stated "This is the Zodiac speaking Like I have allways said, I am crack proof. If the Blue Meannies are evere going to catch me, they had best get off their fat asses + do something. Because the longer they fiddle + fart around, the more slaves I will collect for my after life. I do have to give them credit for stumbling across my riverside activity, but they are only finding the easy ones, there are a hell of a lot more down there. The reason I'm writing to the Times is this, They don't bury me on the back pages like some of the others".

After his so-called admission of previous crimes, that may have included the Domingos and Edwards murders in Santa Barbara on June 4th 1963, unlikely to have been committed under the Zodiac umbrella, it may have been the final curtain for the Zodiac Killer. His return just under three years later had dropped the "This is the Zodiac Speaking" opener, and his crosshairs were notably absent. He was reduced to Me- 37 SFPD- 0. But his change may have come a lot sooner than that.

The Zodiac maintained a statistically significant victim count throughout his five-year reign, that may have been more by design than actual reality - something that was closely aligned with the delivery of his communications. The author had throughout maintained a close correlation between his victim count and the correspondence he mailed. By the time his 'in tandem' communications of the Dripping Pen card and Bus Bomb letter had arrived, he had mailed, in total, seven letters, and was claiming 7 victims. By the time he had mailed the 13-Symbol cipher on April 20th 1970 (including the Fairfield correspondence), he had mailed 10 letters and was claiming 10 victims. When the Button letter arrived on June 26th 1970, both communication and victim count totaled 12. There was a slight difference shortly after that, but parity would be soon resumed by March 13th 1971, when the Los Angeles letter arrived - his seventeenth communication with 17 victims.

The Zodiac Killer appeared very structured in the frequency of his alleged victim count and the regularity of his communications, bound tightly to one another. But was it too structured, given his marked absence for nearly three years,  thereby lending credence to the idea that it was all just a case of murder by numbers.                   


The Hunt for Zodiac: The Inconceivable Double Life of a Notorious Serial Killer

My suspect never stopped killing until he could no longer physically function. He died in 2001 from alcoholism. Towards the end of his life he claimed frequently "I've killed 144 people." Always 144.

That's an astonishing tally,Judith.One wonders where all these victims came from,if he was telling the truth [?].

Only Dr.Harold Shipman can compare with that,in modern times.....and he was a doctor,addicted to Heroin,and had access to unlimited supplies of kindly old ladies,whom he made ''fall asleep'',forever.

I have Zodiac down for 12-14 murders.

Some people,just the 5 Bay Area ones,claimed by the FBI.

Interesting comparisons.

Murdered seven? You mean six don't you Richard? Or are you including an unknown murder victim after Sheppard and before Stine?

Carl Karas link
3/16/2018 09:01:05 pm

I meant 5. So you are saying there were two unknown victims. Or are you just following the Z letter claims? As far as the regularity of the later claims goes- did he have a technically oriented mind? In claiming made up (or not) victims with such exactitude?

Btw did anyone ever follow up on Cecelia Sheppard's Riverside connection?

Richard
3/16/2018 10:28:15 pm

I have rephrased it Carl. Yes, because he claimed likely 2 victims in August, we know therefore he was claiming 7 by October 11th 69. The Riverside connection other than residence I cannot elaborate on.Sorry.

I believe that Cecelia Shepard had decided to switch her course back to Riverside,where her family lived,Carl.

Her relationship with Bryan,is ''unclear'',and he has always been too modest,to talk about it.

Yes,its always possible that ''Peter'' was claiming the square root of 144,in some strange way,Judith [?].

Even of we added the Santa Rosa murders to the Bay Area ones,we wouldn't total more than 24.

And their are many local police stations in the Santa Rosa area,in denial of a Zodiac involvement,to this day.

Shipman was indeed ''exceptional''.In 2004,he was found guilty of 15,and subsequently hanged himself,in his cell.

A ''Shipman Inquiry'' followed,and it was ascertained that he was definitely responsible for 218 [!].But the final tally may exceed 250.

These numbers are almost ''industrial'',and I would have thought it unimaginable that Zodiac,could come anywhere near close to that level of carnage [?].

I feel that the real person,behind the ''Zodiac persona'' did acquire the actual ''blood lust'' eventually.But he was never ''out of control'',as such.There were times were he just needed to satisfy an aching within him,to cure depression......that came,and went,according to what was going on in his real life.

I have Zodiac down for another 5 murders,following Paul Stine.All single women,under the age of 32.And,over the next 35 years.

Drew
3/18/2018 12:03:28 pm

Hi all, I don't think I have any earth shattering revelations here but as this Zodiac kill count may be the biggest issue in the case on which to speculate I thought I'd share some thoughts. If the killer who for a time called himself Zodiac totalled more than five victims then he must have been motivated by more than a desire to spread terror, ridicule authorities and attain fame and that is hard to rationalize because what we are pretty darn sure that we do know about him is that he spent a great deal of effort seeking attention.

It is highly possible of course that he was a mass murderer beyond what we know, but without a solution to a single cold case tentatively attributed to him outside the cannon we are left with little more than the Zodiac publicity campaign itself to make the determination. The Zodiac character didn't definitively lie, boast or try too terribly hard to convince readers that his rampage was continuing. Rather, he seemed content with cryptic implications and probably got bored of it all and eventually moved on with his life.

Because his threats and victim claims became seen as unconvincing I see the Zodiac character as having boxed himself in to the cannon view by writing that the Lake Herman Road double murder was when he 'started collecting' his 'slaves'. He hadn't yet come to the idea that the Riverside Killer had from the outset of his campaign - that suggesting that his latest victim was 'not the first' would guarantee a legacy of mystique. Zodiac of course adapted this approach in March 1971 with his LA Letter claiming his involvement in Riverside activities, etc.

With the pattern breaking murder of Paul Stine followed by the claim that he would change his killing methods Zodiac left the door of interpretation open, but without evidence that he killed for intentions other than infamy, and with practical reasons to question the authenticity of the post March 1971 correspondences, I find it difficult to believe the culprit continued his murderous ways.

That said, I have always entertained and pontificated on the notion that Zodiac was indeed a killer before and after his campaign and that sex, money, politics, and even personal vengeance may well have motivated his actions. It's taken reading countless articles from Richard to arrive at a view more tethered to reality.

If the murder of Cheri-Jo Bates is ever solved, which I think is the most viable cold case associated with Zodiac that has a chance for resolution, and that guilty individual can't be ruled out as Zodiac, then I would reconsider the unlikelihood of the Zodiac kill count. I would also be persuaded by an unearthed Zodiac letter confessing to the unsolved 1963 Domingos and Edwards double murder if one was sent before the press leaked the proposed connection. Tom Voigt suspects that such a letter exists but admits he doesn't know for certain when it was sent, what it contained. Unfortunately he can't even share (if he knows) how the authenticity of this not-publicly released letter was confirmed.

Perhaps for me another cold case that could completely refocus my perspective on the kill count is the murder of Robert Salem. Little has been uncovered about this brutal ritualistic killing but the police and press reactions to it are stimulating to the imagination. Richard's analysis of the Salem murder which also links to Paul Avery's article on the incident seems to contain about all that has been publicly revealed (though Baker's self-connection to a likely mythic 4Pi serial killer cult which he claimed was an extension of the darkly cloaked Process Church of the Final Judgement should have been explored in my estimation). https://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-news/the-robert-salem-murder

It is a deep dive into speculative waters that Zodiac may have seduced this homosexual San Francisco designer who was found stabbed to death and missing an ear in his apartment days after transpiring days before Zodiac's April 20 My Name Is cipher letter, but I have always had a hard time disregarding the blood writing on the wall and the ankh on Salem's chest.

Could Salem's murder have been a very long delayed response to Avery's 'latent homosexual' accusation? I don't find that in itself terribly compelling but I also have problems attributing the crime to a copycat killer. At the time that is what authorities had to say about it, and that could have been motivated by the halfhearted confession of cannibal Stanley Dean Baker, but apart from the messages at the scene this residential killing did not resemble a Zodiac murder, so why did the actual killer choose to write Zodiac on the wall in the way he did (in two lines) with a non-Zodiac symbol (the ankh) if he was trying to pin the murder on the real Zodiac, and why did the police decide to take the April 20 bomb threat seriously?

When they didn't publish his 1969 bomb threat Zodiac did nothing explosive to retaliate. When police didn't immediately publish the April 20 bom

Drew
3/18/2018 03:11:45 pm

Doh! It seems I have succumbed to the comment character limit - I forgot that would happen because Ray Grant hasn't posted in so long! I miss that crazy ole curmudgeon. Thanks for the notice and encouragement Richard. I will henceforth see if I can remember how I completed my thoughts on how the police may have privately viewed the Robert Salem murder's potential affiliation with the Zodiac.

continued....

When LE didn't allow publication of his 1969 bomb threat, Zodiac did nothing explosive to retaliate. When police didn't immediately publish the April 20 1970 bomb threat he still failed to make good on his threat, merely sending a greeting card a week later warning them not to call his bluff. What about the April 28 Dragon card (if it didn't arrive with additional materials) prompted them to comply on May 1 with his farfetched request which clearly played straight into his desire to spread terror and put his name back into the spotlight?

Police seemed comfortable telling the media on May 1 that they did not believe his claim of ten victims on the April 20 letter, but perhaps when the Stanley Dean Baker theory quickly began to look thin they revised their thoughts on the possible Zodiac connection to the Salem homicide.

If police, after having directed the media to report the Salem murder as a copycat crime and immediately receiving elaborate Zodiac letters, decided that they needed to quickly appease the Zodiac, they may have decided that publishing the unlikely bomb threat would be less frightening for the public than continuing to ignore him, potentially encouraging the Zodiac to strike again in a manner in which he was a credible threat, not as a bomber, but as an evolving killer.

Tom Voigt says that there are two additional confirmed victims, which is of course terribly frustrating to hear without additional information. If it is true though, I think Salem may be one of them, and if Zodiac had 'evolved' into a residence killer, I think his kill count seems a lot more believable. The one thing that the kill count being true would explain is that Zodiac's 408 message about enjoying killing was also truthful - he just enjoyed killing people whether he got credit or not.

Great appraisal of this topic Drew and some very interesting and thought provoking points. The comments section only allows a set length, so I have not used the reply button so you can continue your piece underneath. The Robert Salem murder is a very good possibility as a Zodiac crime, and too readily dismissed just because of a so-called modus operandi, that if we include Cheri Jo Bates, really didn't exist. A brutal stabbing of a young girl around the neck and face, two couple murders with a gun at night, the stabbing of a couple adorned in a costume in daylight and the assassination of a taxicab driver in a built up area. Therefore, the Robert Salem murder doesn't worry me as a departure from his so-called signature, which really wasn't that consistent over the four canonical crimes.
It is too easy an assumption by police to just dismiss the Salem murder as a copycat, on account of the writing on the wall, and style of the attack. The Zodiac's crimes throughout were extremely risky, but his final two confirmed attacks were certainly more brazen- but being possibly indoors for the first time, the Zodiac would certainly have been able to command the scene without fear of interruption, thereby living out whatever fantasy he liked. Although not a great comparison, Jack the Ripper's crimes were extremely sickening, but his final confirmed crime committed indoors was particularly savage. He wasn't constricted by fear of discovery, and the nature of his brutality untethered.
I don't think I can add any more to a very clever analysis. I hope you finish it off Drew.

He has kindly replied, but his "Supplemental Homicide Report data we have only goes back to 1976". I asked if he could analyze any unsolved crimes from 1968 to 1976. Never mind- but I appreciated the reply.

That is a shame. It is nice though that he didn't leave you dangling like the other agencies. Say, have you checked out Mindhunter on Netflix yet? Great quality programming! I believe you and Thomas Hargrove would approve of the approach the show took with the John Douglas material.

Richard
3/18/2018 05:00:18 pm

Yes, I have watched a little bit. Looks good so far Drew. I love crime shows with heavy forensics and puzzles. I did like Numbers to begin with, but it got a little repetitive. I used to be a gamer- loved Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and Broken Sword. I'll have to continue with Mindhunter, but usually have to find a good stream online.

Drew
3/18/2018 05:23:29 pm

I love em too Richard and had the same experience with Numbers. I don't know much about the killers they profile in Mindhunter and the show doesn't get into as much detail as I would like but it is still great. I wish the approach was as thorough as The Wire but that's setting the bar pretty high. I still learned a lot from it about how these profiling techniques were developed and the filmmaking is really engaging. You might give this streaming site a try.

Murder by the numbers
Numerology is very important in deciphering the dates selected for the kills of the Zodiac (and the dates the letters were sent) not to forget decoding the letters and ciphers.

Today is 3/22
Skull and Bones has the number 322 below the scull and crossbones
Legend is 322bc was the year Greek orator Demosthenes was killed

From Wikipedia
In 322 BC, the Lamian War ended with the death of Demosthenes. And, Athenians were made to dissolve their government and establish a plutocratic system in its stead, whereby only those possessing 2,000 drachmas or more could remain citizen. Plutarchy, is a form of society defined as being ruled or controlled by a function of wealth or higher income. Plutocrats for ignoring their social responsibilities, using their power to serve their own purposes and thereby increasing poverty and nurturing class conflict, corrupting societies with greed and hedonism.
RAT = Russell and Taft = The founders of the secret society of "the Order of the Scull and Bones" were William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft in 1832 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

What is the nature of ciphers? Secrets.
The Mikado is strictly for the rich.
The Zodiac was probably upper crusty.
What blue collar goes to the opera?
Let's decipher these notions.
Thank you for reading!

Some fascinating thoughts,to take in,BB.

I agree with the nature of ciphers,being really about ''secrets''.

I find that what you have mentioned,in general,alludes to the class structure,in western culture,fifty years ago [?].And therefore of great relevance,in trying to understand Zodiac.

Nowadays,it seems to be the perception that 90% are ''middle class'',with 10% relatively poor,and in need of state handouts [?].

It was really Reagan and Thatcher that introduced the notion of us all aspiring to be middle class.So,from about 1930 to 1980,it was,essentially about five social classes....''working'',lower,middle and upper ''middle classes''....and ''upper''.

My father was ''lower middle'',who aspired to be ''middle'',by working a lifetime in the Oil Industry.Essentially,a ''blue collar'' industry that paid ''white collar'' wages.

And,this is what I believe was the background of Zodiac.His parents would have earned just enough to give him a good and full education.

With an engineering degree,he acquired a junior management job,in the Oil Industry,or similar.A white collar worker in a blue collar,work environment.

A young man,educated,and on good wages,who had started to aspire to the more ''cultured'' aspects of life [?].

We are waiting for the DNA to come back from the History Channel.

It should be any day now that we get the answers. Right?

Personally, I think Alex is correct with his suspect Cane. But, if not I hope you are right with your suspect Grant. Some days I think you're right, and then I return to the mountain of circumstantial stuff that Alex FOIA'd and I lean back towards Cane. But, then again you could find out any day now.
Good Luck!

PS - Tomorrow is not only April Fools, it is Easter Sunday but on HLN is the story of the GSK so often confused with the Zodiac case. Perhaps there will be something revealed about PSP for Judith. Her suspect seems more in line with that type of SK. What's your Take?

3/31/2018 12:57:15 pm

I didn't realise that we were actually promised anything back,BB [?].

If it were to be ''official'',then of course it would be welcome.

Grant isn't my suspect.I maintain that Grant is the only person,at the time,who could have revealed Zodiac's identity.

''The History Channel'' and ''April Fools''....seem that they might have '' poetic resonance '' [?].

But wish anyone good luck,if they receive some answers.

I was under the impression that The History Channel said it usually takes about three months for DNA results but it has been long enough that I've already forgot.

As to my response should I have said Grant connection?

Very funny thing you said.
That crack of yours about the History Channel.
Here is your Zodiac - APRIL FOOLS!

Oh well, until their DNA answer comes, it's back to my conspiracy theorying.

And,I look forward,genuinely,to what you come up with....on the more ''subversive'' side to ''Zodiac''.

I didn't realise,for example,that I would come across Zodiac's more political minded side.

And,that I would state that I believed that the Zodiac case,had given Mr.Trump an excuse to fire James Comey,last May.

It could still be true [!].

Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy (November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968)
John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)
Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)

All were murdered on Dali days

According to Wikipedia
COINTELPRO was a series of covert, and at times illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations. FBI records show that COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals that the FBI deemed subversive, including the Communist Party USA, anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists of the civil rights movement or Black Power movement (e.g., Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Panther Party), feminist organizations, independence movements (such as Puerto Rican independence groups like the Young Lords), Black-owned bookstores, and a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left.

I think Doctor MLK Jr. was murdered on April four 1968 by rouges in the government.

J. Edgar Hoover considered him a radical and made him an object of the FBI's COINTELPRO which tried to get MLK Jr. to commit suicide.

There is the Dali day signature of 4/4 being the murderers signature day same as Zodiac.
This signature is even on the suspicious death of Hoover 5/2/72.

There are many commonalities here. With the smear campaign of liberal causes such as the shutting down of the Good Times Newspaper by the FBI.They made accusations that the paper's editor Giakowski was the Zodiac. Why - because the Good Times hippie commune was trying to stop the war. The Gulf of Ton-kin was a black project false flag operation. Proof the war was a crime. The Pentagon Papers were released in 1971 by RAND employee Daniel Elsberg. The Gulf of Ton-kin incident was on a Dali day 8/2/64 but no Americans were harmed. Just innocent Vietnamese were. 3 were killed and 6 were injured.

Former FBI Agent Robert Mahue introduced the CIA to the Mob. In mob connection shadow government parlance the terms "the commission" or the "committee" are used when referring to the coordinating of mafia associates (which was first and for-most boss Sam Giancanna) with any government intelligence. But, since the black budget of these secret groups is off the books we can only speculate as to who exactly was involved. The members of these groups are secret too. JFK was killed by this Mob/CIA group.He called for the secret organization to be "scattered to the winds".His last speech was about the dangers of these groups.
The Plumbers were all mob'd up CIA guys who perpetrated "Dirty Tricks" against the Lib's to get right-wingers elected. CIA Howard Hunt worked for Bush when he had an office in the Nixon WH. Watergate was all CREEP. Peace loving liberal hippies were their number one enemy according to former FBI man G. Gordon Liddy. And, how they combated them was through establishing guilt by association smear campaigns. The Charles Manson's had long hair therefore hippies are evil. The Hells Angels look like them therefor hippies are evil. Therefor be scared of hippies and vote for right wingers and there causes.
Remember at this time circa 1969 the hippie was the symbol of left ideal free American.
The hippies are evil according to right winger Hoover. To him the peace protesters had to be stopped. He wished hippies would go die in Vietnam the way they were supposed to.
Hoover was the ultimate hypocrite - gay but against the Gays. In the Mob but he was the top cop in America. His nick name was the "Bulldog" but he wore womens panties.

Zodiac was the perfect boogie man for their causes, like we need to allow for police brutality, which was one of the biggest social causes of the day. Their answer was the hero introduced in the movie "Dirty Harry". The Movie sold tons of guns as the 44 magnum was shown off. Clint Eastwood was the biggest movie star in the world. They got him to portray the tough-on crime cop that you supposedly need. The Scorpio was representing Zodiac he had long hair - hippies are evil, be scared, you should vote-in a tough on crime right-winger. Scorpio paid a criminal to inflict some police brutality on him to get this good cop Harry smeared as a dirty cop.I think they (this mob fused group) terrorized left leaning San Fransisco to get voters to think they need to vote for more cops, brutal with bigger guns, to stop the Zodiac. But guns aren't the answer. The ultimate weapon of all time is the pen. Its' ammo is the truth.

You have highlighted some fascinating information,BB.

The coincidences,with Dali days,is most interesting.As if,perhaps,these secret organisations had adopted their own calendar [?].

The idea of 13X28 Day lunar cycle goes way back to astronomical discoveries....but the renaming,and reshaping of interpretation,seems more recent.

It appears that Salvador Dali's 1967 collection of lithographs,called ''Dali's twelve signs of the Zodiac'' had some influence.

There seems to be so many ways,at looking at that era [?].

One,could be a war on the young,for daring to speak out...by those of more advanced years,who believed that they had acquired wisdom [?].

There was certainly a fear of revolution,by the ''establishment''.

One can see that individuals,like ''Gyke'',had the finger of blame,pointed at them...at any opportunity.

What a strange man,Hoover was [?].

The ''consummate hypocrite'',perhaps [?].

So,I have heard,addicted to gambling,but never paid his debts..but always insisting on any winnings,be paid in full [!].

The LAPD have never managed to live down their partnership with the FBI,over COINTELPRO.

''Black Power'' found its ''hotbed'' in Los Angeles,but what the cops were up to was ''murder''...pure and simple.

As The Beatles sang : ''It's all too much''.

A final line from Dali : ''The only difference between me and a madman is,I am not mad''.

Perhaps a claim from many factions,at the time [?].
