THE ALBANY, FAIRFIELD AND 1987 LETTERS ENHANCED

5/19/2017

Sent to the Albany Times Union newspaper and postmarked August 1st 1973. Obtained by Tom Voigt of Zodiackiller.com, the letter threatened to kill a female on August 10th at 5.00 pm on a shift change, just nine days after its mailing date. An FBI cryptanalysis unit deciphered the code material at the foot of the letter to reveal 'ALBANY MEDICAL CENTER. THIS ONLY THE BEGINNING.' The threat on a nurse, had menacing overtones reminiscent to the disappearance of Donna Ann Lass from the Sahara Tahoe Hotel on September 6th 1970. Her body has never been recovered.
This letter in all likelihood was not penned by the Zodiac letter, and despite its threatening tone, no murders or abductions occurred on the specified date, or even close to it.

Not a handwriting expert Richard, but the printing included in the link below, which Sandy says is from her suspect Kane, taken around 1986 or 87, looks practically identical to the 1987 you have here on display.. Take a look, would love to get some closeup side by sides...

The Fairfield Letter was most likely written by a Manson follower playing the game of "Zodiac copycat". The amateurish bit of code probably just says "ZODIAC", although I once considered it could say "OR ELSE". It is difficult to know if all of the symbols in the different quadrants of the crosshairs symbol are meant to be part of the code or are just there for decoration. It is probably just meant to suggest that the Zodiac entity is everywhere, NSWE, and nobody knows where he will strike next.

The letter connects well with the general tone and subject matter of the KHJ-TV letter, but appears to have been penned by a different individual.

I find myself having a chuckle at Dave Oranchak's "solution". It's a fairly safe bet he is completely and utterly wrong.

For what it is worth, here is one of my solutions.

STABLE I BE AND ON ROAD. WELL. CONCENSUSS HI. STANDS HERE IN A AICU.

AICU = Albany ICU

Suggests the writer had just had an operation, but recovering well.

Oops, I meant "Albany Adult Intensive Care Unit" = AAICU

Actually this would suggest a stroke.

I have considered the possibility that the Zodiac did succeed in killing someone at Albany Medical Center. Just because it was shift change doesn't mean he meant to kill a nurse (they would be on high alert given the letter). However, shift change is a dangerous time for patients even when the Zodiac is not near, and especially so if he was actually in the hospital. Checking the census for patients who died that night or were found dead in their beds the next morning might yield results.It might even have been his roommate - he never limited himself to killing only the fairer sex.

Why did the murderer of Paul Stine take the ignition keys from the car and his wallet. Here we will examine one possibility.

Further analysis of the Pines Card and its relationship to the 13 Symbol Cipher, Button Letter code and 13 Hole Postcard. Also, was this card integral to the Donna Lass disappearance on September 6th 1970.

Using blood pattern analysis and distribution to explain the story as it unfolded from the moment the killer requisitioned the taxicab in the theater district of San Francisco to the last possible sighting of the murderer.

Examining the most likely hot spot, the Zodiac Killer returned to after his murderous acts of evil, to narrow down a location to the small town of Benicia, a low crime rate, middle class community, with a population of roughly 5,000 in 1968/69.

Experimenting with the idea that a silencer was used in the commission of the Blue Rock Springs attack and furthermore a silencer or modified compressor was either used or carried during all four attacks of the Zodiac Killer.

On a cold, dark night back on December 20th 1968, a young couple were enjoying a late night out, parked up in their Rambler, on a lonely gravel turnout, just off the unlit, narrow winding road of Lake Herman, when an unknown assailant shattered the tranquil night time air, gunning down both David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen in cold blood and unleashing an unparalleled horror on a community, the like of which had never been seen before.

Examining the logical exit routes, away from each of the murder sites, using the premise that the Zodiac Killer would immediately head for a secure or safe location after each crime, usually home.

Analyzing the aftermath of the Lake Berryessa attack on Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard, including the handwriting on the car door.

The Button and Little List letters were as intertwined as could possibly be. The story began with his choice of Mount Diablo as the focus and continued with his selection of the Phillips 66 Road Map itself.
