THE AUTHOR OF THE S.L.A LETTER?

1/17/2019

 
Picture
The Exorcist letter was mailed to the San Francisco Chronicle on January 29th 1974 featuring a 'review' of the 1973 William Friedkin Exorcist movie, a verse from The Mikado's 'Tit-Willow', the usual threat and some curious Asian characters at the foot of the letter, whitewashed from the January 31st San Francisco Chronicle article regarding this communication. Just three days later, a follow-up correspondence, widely labelled the S.L.A letter was mailed, highlighting the word "Kill" at its foot. The Asian characters on the Exorcist letter have been 'decoded' by Zodiac researcher Kevin Robert Brooks to spell "To Kill", opening up the possibility that the designer of the S.L.A letter was immediately responding to the Chronicle's whitewashing of the characters, giving us the solution and thus verifying they were the author of both. However, without being able to convince everybody or anybody of the "To Kill" solution, more is needed in tying these two communications together, along with the May 8th 1974 Citizen card and July 8th 1974 Red Phantom letter. 

The Zodiac Killer had a penchant for the theatrical, appearing in costume at Lake Berryessa on September 27th 1969 and citing Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado twice in his July 26th 1970 letter. The 1974 Exorcist letter would feature film and theater, the Citizen card expressed consternation at the 1973 Badlands movie and the Red Phantom letter, likewise, may have been referencing a theatrical release of the film El Espectro Rojo or Red Phantom, as detailed by Tom Voigt on Zodiackiller.com. This provides another avenue of inspiration behind the Red Phantom pseudonym chosen by the July 8th 1974 author. It is certainly in keeping with the film and theater angle, heavily laden in the 1974 communications. Tom Voigt articulates that El Espectro Rojo or Red Phantom played at the Port Theater in Mill Valley, Marin County on the 27th and 28th April 1974, just three months prior to the arrival of the Red Phantom letter. The critical part now, is unearthing the inspiration behind the S.L.A letter from a film or theatrical standpoint, and connecting this to a Symbionese Liberation Army member. In a previous article, it has been shown that a Symbionese Liberation Army member typed a letter to the Hearst Family on February 10th 1974 and signed off with "A friend" - a few days earlier, the San Francisco Chronicle S.L.A letter arrived, also signing off with "a friend".  

PictureKathleen Ann Soliah
One possible author of the S.L.A letter (and possibly the Exorcist letter) was Sara Jane Olson (born Kathleen Ann Soliah on January 16, 1947). She was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army in the 1970s. She grew up in Palmdale, California, the daughter of Norwegian-American parents, Elsie Soliah (née Engstrom) and Palmdale High School English teacher and coach Martin Soliah. Engström, Engstrøm and Engstrom are surnames of Swedish and Norwegian origin. Was she responsible for authoring the S.L.A letter on February 3rd 1974, one or two days before the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst?

To examine this possibility we have to examine her background. The S.L.A letter was postmarked 
"U.S. Postal Service, CA 913 PM 3 FEB 1974". Kathleen Ann Soliah was brought up in Palmdale, Los Angeles County, California, often frequenting the nearby census-designated area of Agua Dulce. In fact, Agua Dulce was the commuter route from Palmdale to 1466 East 54th Street, Los Angeles -  the site of the deadly shootout between Symbionese Liberation Army members and law enforcement on May 17th 1974, resulting in the deaths of six urban militants. The Symbionese Liberation Army had its main headquarters in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Agua Dulce had a postal zip code of 91390, tying in nicely with the postmark on the February 3rd 1974 S.L.A letter. It is less than five miles from Palmdale. 

PictureView on Google maps
To discover the author of the 1974 communications attributed to the Zodiac Killer, we may be looking for somebody familiar with the Zodiac murders and correspondence (particularly with regards to the Exorcist letter), but also, somebody with film and theatrical leanings that may have a strong bearing on the design of the S.L.A letter.

​Kathleen Ann Soliah, after leaving high school, studied acting at nearby Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, California, near Palmdale. She then moved to study theater at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she met her boyfriend and future Symbionese Liberation Army member, James Kilgore. After graduating in 1969 her radicalization intensified during future years in the Bay Area, eventually becoming friends with the notorious Angela Atwood. This is where a blend of her theatrical leanings, Norwegian-American heritage and a passion for writing may have come into play.

S.L.A  member and boyfriend of Kathleen Ann Soliah, James Kilgore, was ultimately jailed in 2002 for his participation in the April 21st 1975 Crocker National Bank robbery that resulted in the murder of bank customer Myrna Lee Opsahl. “I accept full responsibility for my actions on that day,” said Kilgore, a former San Rafael High School honors student and one-time economics major who became an SLA bomb maker and eventually a professor at the University of Cape Town" ReligionNewsBlog. The July 8th 1974 'Red Phantom' letter was mailed from San Rafael, Marin County, and the May 8th 1974 'Badlands' letter was mailed from Alameda County, where the County Coroner's Office received Symbionese Liberation Army threats after the 1973 murder of Marcus Foster. Espectro Rojo or Red Phantom played at the Port Theater in Mill Valley, Marin County.      

PictureHenrik Ibsen
When looking for the inspiration behind the S.L.A letter and "Old Norse", keeping in line with the theatrical influences of the Exorcist letter only days earlier, I looked for a link to the theater in the S.L.A letter too. Whoever designed the Exorcist letter, mimicked the July 26th 1970 Mikado letter mailed by Zodiac. The Mikado is a two-part comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, which opened to the paying public on March 14th 1885, and was hugely successful, running for 672 performances at the Savoy Theatre in London. Hedda Gabler is a play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Ibsen was present at the world premiere which took place on  January 31st 1891 at the Residenztheater in Munich. It is recognized as a classic of realism, nineteenth century theater and world drama. The title character, Hedda, is considered one of the great dramatic roles in theater.

Symbionese Liberation Army member, Angela DeAngelis "General Gelina" Atwood died in the Los Angeles shootout on May 17th 1974. A year earlier "Kathleen Ann Soliah worked as a cocktail waitress in San Francisco and took small acting roles. She befriended Angela Atwood, the daughter of a New Jersey Teamsters boss who, like Soliah, had grown up in a middle-class home before coming to Berkeley. Atwood, who appeared with Soliah in "Hedda Gabler," helped her friend get a job at the Great Electric Underground, an upscale restaurant in the Bank of America world headquarters". link.

​If Kathleen Ann Soliah authored the February 3rd 1974 S.L.A letter referencing her Norwegian heritage of "Old Norse" and signing off with "a friend", then she was likely the author of the February 10th 1974 S.L.A Hearst letter, again signing off with "A friend". ​Her role in the Norwegian Hedda Gabler theater production would be an influence she carried forward, when we consider the presence of "Old Norse" in the February 3rd 1974 communication. The premiere of Hedda Gabbler opened on January 31st - the same day in history that the San Francisco Chronicle featured the arrival of the Exorcist letter. 

"At this period of Ibsen's youth, Norway experienced a nationalist awakening. The new literary generation, after 400 years of Danish rule, sought to revive the glories of Norwegian history and medieval literature. The middle ages were glorified as well because the romantic movement was in full swing throughout Europe. Thus, when Ole Bull, the great violinist, founded a norse theater at Bergen, the project met with enthusiastic approval from all the youthful idealists eager to subvert the influence of Danish culture.  Encouraged by the success of Ole Bull’s Norse theater in Bergen, enthusiasts of nationalist poetry in the capital also founded a new theater in direct competition with the conservative, Danish-influenced Christiania Theater. Asked to direct this new venture, Ibsen’s promised salary was twice the amount he received at Bergen, about six hundred specie dollars  The problems of Ibsen’s social dramas are consistent throughout all his works. Georg Brandes, a contemporary critic, said of Ibsen, as early as the 1860s, that “his progress from one work to the other is not due to a rich variety of themes and ideas, but on the contrary to a perpetual scrutiny of the same general questions, regarded from different points of view.”
Hedda Gabler, with its emphasis on individual psychology, is a close scrutiny of a woman like Nora Helmer or Mrs. Alving, who searches for personal meaning in a society which denies freedom of expression". link.


The Det norske Theater is a former theater in Bergen, Norway, and regarded as the first pure Norwegian stage theatre. It opened in 1850 by primus motor, violinist Ole Bull, and closed in 1863, after a bankruptcy. Norwegian (norsk) is a North Germanic language spoken mainly in Norway, where it is the official language. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties, and some Norwegian and Swedish dialects, in particular, are very close. These Scandinavian languages, together with Faroese and Icelandic as well as some extinct languages, constitute the North Germanic languages. Faroese and Icelandic are hardly mutually intelligible with Norwegian in their spoken form because continental Scandinavian has diverged from them. While the two Germanic languages with the greatest numbers of speakers, English and German, have close similarities with Norwegian, neither is mutually intelligible with it. Norwegian is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. Wikipedia.

Great article, Richard. This SLA series brings back some rather uneasy feelings from that time period in the Bay Area. Interesting that Soliah would choose the Swedish form of the name Olson. The Norwegian spelling would be Olsen. There is a strong possibility she was not aware of the difference, I am just showing off by splitting hairs, UffDa. Have a good day everybody. I am going to spend some time today researching Ms. Soliah’s life.

Richard - You are most deserving of a rest! Especially in light of all your latest articles. But, before you say good night I wanted to ask you if you have seen John Arthur Getreu? He has been arrested for a 1973 killing using the latest DNA matchup like for the Golden State Killer suspect Joseph James DeAngelo. Also, Steven Crawford.

I was almost off then BB. No, I haven't seen this John Arthur Getreu story, but I will certainly have a look. Do you or does anybody hold out much hope on the genealogy angle anymore. We had this furore in 2017, hailed as a breakthrough year, then 2018, and we are still barreling on. I see little hope that the Zodiac case will be solved with DNA anymore. Cheers BB.

The following is what the Zodiac case is doing to my head. Copy the following 4 words and paste it into Google search..

Great work, Richard. You have the makings of an award winning book here. Not sure tho if it would be a Zod or a SLA book tho. Perhaps somewhere in between. Perhaps it wouldn’t matter.

It certainly seems more likely now that the young women were making a conscious effort to imitate Zodiac in the SLA letter handwriting and tone. And possibly that they may have been talented enough to forge the Exorcist Letter. My first wife had a painter uncle who was able to forge 10 George Braques’ before he was caught. Considered impossible at the time as he painted so few paintings. You never know. I’ve made a couple studies of the Exorcist Letter at ZodiacKMAK.com. One thing that pops up is that the letter template appears to be a ‘Peace Sign’ which as you may know is also the Nordic rune symbol for todt or death.

Oh boy, Mike Rodelli will be disappointed.

As an aside, the most likely suspect so far in the Ripper case is Michael Maybrick, best selling songwriter of the day, who knew his top competitors Gilbert and Sullivan well. All part of the same Masonic chapter. See: ‘They all Loved Jack’

Thanks for a wonderful and enlightening piece of writing

Richard
1/17/2019 02:31:04 pm

Funny you should say that Carl, I was on your site earlier today and have been looking at the Exorcist symbols. In the event they didn't spell "To Kill" as Kevin proposed I have been looking for alternatives, from a map as Rubislaw suggested, to a peace or CND design as you have suggested (a sort of variant to the crosshairs). The boldness of the characters design strike me as Asian (in Mikado style) but if they were Runic in nature obviously I would be over the moon. The one thing that has always felt wrong about a word puzzle for them, is the detached nature of the dot and exclamation style mark - why place them so far removed from the rest of the design when it's just a collection of letters. This could indicate they are a form of overlay or template from something else such as a map, or larger design. I like the "To Kill" explanation because of its tie in to the S.L.A letter, but it's certainly not a slam-dunk.
I do like the Jack the Ripper case, but know more of James Maybrick than Michael, taking the JA and CK from his start and end of his name to get JACK. I recently watched the documentary regarding Charles Cross/Charles Lechmere which I found very interesting, being the only suspect named who was spotted at one of the crime scenes and acted suspiciously in the aftermath of the crime. They analyzed his walk to work using timelines, part of a case I really enjoy. I read your taking a break from the scene to recuperate and spend more time with the family. Hope everything's fine.

Whatever viewpoint is concluded,Richard,I realise that,the FBI files are probably the only direction to go,at present,in attempting to uncover more information.

So far,I am really inspired by the potentials,over both the ''Russle and Little'' and ''A friend'' letters.

I suspect that the Zodiac took to the compulsion to write to celebrities and media agencies,from an early age....and predominantly with a typewriter,attempting to pass himself off,as a worldly adult.

I am going back to the SLA,since he may have followed their fortunes,for a while.As you say,the task looks daunting...but,I notice that the redactions are fading [!],and sometimes,one can read everything.

Looking around,''Black Power'' could reap something....with the ''Popular Culture'' category,always having potential.

As an example,the Walter Leland Cronkite file is certainly worth a look.Page 38 presents a typed letter to this legendary news reporter,copied to J Edgar Hoover....and talks of ''Communists brainwashing American citizens...'',and ''God bless J Edgar Hoover''.

That one,from Allentown,Pa,November 19th 1964.

I think that,as soon as Zodiac,had the independence,he was ''on his travels'',exploring the vast country,in which he lived.And,probably taking his typewriter,with him.

In addition,actual impersonation probably started with ''impressionism''.He would ''invent'' himself,as anything,from a right wing fanatic,to a liberal middle aged woman.

Hiding behind a pen,or tapping away on his typewriter gave his world,a completely new dimension.

Richard

DBCooper case is linked to the Zodiac case.

The only thing DBCooper left behind was a clip-on tie.

Chemical analysis of the tie showed a strong presence
of the element cerium. Which, occurs in the form cerous.

Published on Sep 29, 2018


This video explains step-by-step, the hints and guides that form the structures and mechanics used to decipher a multi-layered cipher, known by officials in the FBI and Law Enforcement as the Z340, an unsolved cipher authored by the notorious "Zodiac Killer".

The video takes the initiative to solve the case presented, and unravels the messages and the cryptic challenge behind the threats made by the Serial Killer.

It reveals numerous themes, presents hard evidence of scientific research, and compiles the most in-depth review of the ciphers to date.

Take a look at the first reveals of this 3-layered cipher, and the methods used to hide the keys within the letters.

The information is new, and can be easily interpreted by anyone that is able to reference the many pages of evidence that have been gathered here, to compare the many coinciding structures that all hold the same patterns throughout.

I have been studying murder statistics in California starting in 1965 when the murder solution rate was over 95%. Since then the murder rate, the number of murders, and the percentage of unsolved murders has increased dramatically. Quite a contradiction to the "summer of love", the peace movement and other developments. I have not yet been able to find county by county statistics.

Yes,BB,interesting that you should bring up D B Cooper.On timeline,plus the Zodiac's apparent inclination to travel....not least some persuading handwriting...the D B Cooper case seems to be ''made'' for the Zodiac,as a hoaxer,muscling in [?].

I can feel myself taking more and more of an interest.I note that eleven of the 33 D B Cooper FBI files,are currently ''missing'',which awakens even more curiosity.

Here is one letter,to the FBI,from someone claiming to be,from Kenmore,New York.The typed letter,is dated November 24th 1973.

Dear Sirs

I am interested in playing the '' D B Cooper Game ''.If you could,I would be happy if you would send me a copy of the list of serial numbers of the twenty-dollar bills,taken by Cooper.

I know it won't be easy,but I'm going to give it a try.If you could,I'd also like one for my father.All together,I want two.

Thank you very much.

I might have to give this FBI files work,a break,on account of actual information to the FBI,itself....plus expose an assurance reviewer of police,for lying to politicians.....so,''name dropping'',apart :

If anyone is interested,in looking at D.B.Cooper's 33rd FBI file,it could be,that the same hoaxer of Sammy Davis Jnr.,Harland Sanders and Randolph Hearst....was muscling in,on the D B Cooper case.

''Approximately'' pages 244,to 346,there seems to be some dots joining up...including,a typed letter,close proximity of a pharmacy and Bank of America,on Riverside Drive,Sherman Oaks,L.A.....possible residency,at a park,at Glendale...and a telephone account registered at Van Nuys.

I need more time,on this...but if someone else wants to look into it,there could be a ''sleuths feast'',awaiting.

It may be,that this POI,to the FBI,acquired Oregon vehicle licence plates,of a motor car,also.

Good luck ''anyone''....you need to be well versed,in The General/Red Chief.

But,could be ''fruitful''.

By the way,Richard,and with reference to the comments post above,the park,is ''Canoga Park''....which has 5 zip code allocations,starting ''913''.

In addition,the zip code for Van Nuys,CA is ''91316''.Plenty of them,obviously....but all in that vicinity.

Still relatively ''sold'' on ''A friend'' and ''Russle and Little'' letters,as possibly attributed to the Zodiac,himself.

''Mr.Editor'' has all to play for [?].

.....strange that a particular gentleman,and regular Zodiac contributor,with a liking for ''Ted K'',hasn't made a ''move'' on Mr.Fagan,over this ''2001 New Years Card'' [?].

Normally,Mr.AKWilks is ''first on the scene'',with any new ''uncovering'',which should include the ''A friend'' and ''Russel and Little'' letters.

Wasn't ''Ted K'' already incarcerated,at the pleasure of U.S.Prisons,for 5 years,by 2001 ?

Isn't it ''just the way'' [?].

If Mr.Fagan's ''sudden conjuring trick'' would have involved a letter,from a few years earlier....then the two largest Zodiac sites,would be all over the letter,like a rash.

Apart from Ted Kaczynski's conviction,in 1996,we have recently been privy,to the footage of a film,which features an interview with ''Dicky Gyke'',in his last few years,as a campaigner for the legalisation of marijuana,in cases of recognised serious illnesses.

''Mr.Gyke'',was busy,meeting with consumer groups and politicians,at that time,in his efforts to bring comfort,to genuinely sick people.

''Mr.Gyke'' came across as a ''complete sweetie''.

Apart from the forthright and ''sensible'' Ms.Tahoe 27,there has barely been a ''squeak'' out of the two largest sites,over this ''2001 New Years Card''.

Too many ''Bubbles burst'' and ''Hearts broken'',perhaps at risk,for those that are largely ''Suspect driven'' [?].

As ever,when the truth gets ''too close'',the ''mighty'' fall back,in quiet retreat.

Rubislaw 32 link
1/21/2019 09:41:56 am

Indeed,Richard...we can only take these things,as far as we are able.

Sometimes though,''extras'' can be gleaned,with reasonable confidence.But it requires a will,and often,time that can be made,to invest.

There is always a chance that the hoaxer who is The General/Red Chief/Der Fuhrer....is also a D.B .Cooper hoaxer....and ''A friend''.

It may seem like asking a lot....but the hoaxing of Davis Jnr.,Sanders,Hearst and Cooper....emanates from ''that'' North Hollywood vicinity.And,we know,within near certainty,that the ''A friend'' typed letter writer,mailed the letter,within three minutes walk,of San Francisco Airport terminal.

With the ''2001 New Years Card'',we do actually have ''a member of the public'',Kevin Fagan,who has produced it,and could tell us more about how he obtained it,and why he employed the words ''likely to be a hoax''.Not least ....why he has seemed fit,not to reveal its actual signature.

But,Mr.Fagan of course.is an employee of the Hearst Corporation,even if we could ''forgive'' him,for colluding with ''LE'',in denying ''us'',further information.

And,here am I,about to give the FBI more information,simply on the basis of adhering to the principles of being a law abiding citizen.

Talk about feeling ''slapped in the face'' [?].

1/21/2019 01:53:32 pm

I take your point,BB,but what we have ''on the table'',at least...is '' CA 913 PM FEB 1974 ''....which represents details claimed by the FBI,with regard to the posting of a letter,claimed also,to be from the hand of the Zodiac Killer.

This topic obviously debates the possibility that,the ''SLA Letter'',was by the hand of the SLA,themselves,piggyback riding,at the expense of the Zodiac.

It's always possible that the posting details have been messed with...but,perhaps we move too far from the point of this debate [?],if we can't trust the posting details.

Some may disagree,but either the ''SLA Letter'' [ Mr.Editor/A friend],is by the hand of the Zodiac,on official claim....or,someone else.

And,that whatever the truth,the premise of the debate is,that the letter,emanates from that North Hollywood vicinity.
