On the article Proposed Zodiac 340 Solution Comes Under Fire From Critics

ReplyProps to him for taking the blame on himself and saying that he was too scared to admit it when the car dealership deal went through. He appears genuine, probably started with good intentions and things got out of hand. I can see where you might find a similarity between that case and whats been going on with mine. I wish I could get people to understand that my motivations were pure but people are going to think what they want to think.

ReplyHear it from the horse's mouth. I have no desire to write a book about the Zodiac.

Reply@John Morse. I know that you are interested in this case, and so am I. But my question is this...and I know that in your position you must be heavily involved in research-you'd have to be-...if you have mixed feelings, why have you been so quick to jump to the conclusions that you have without having the write-up in front of you? Is it the default approach or do you have hard evidence that I'm exploiting the families of the victims? I have expressed on numerous occasions that the method by which I came to the conclusions I did is more complicated than it seems for people who take it at face value. And what do you propose I hope to gain? People attacking me personally? Reading thousands upon thousands of comments on forums telling me I'm a fraud, a fake, that my attempt to bring some peace to the victims families was a hoax? I'm sorry that this has gotten bigger than me but I didn't think I had a choice. Now I'm regretting it. So you don't need to remind me that I'll continue to catch heat from the public. I never meant for it to get this out of control.

ReplyWhen I said that I had to work backwards, I said this twice. One was in regards to the words that I chose for the solution, the other was that I didn't want to put the write up out until the authorities had a chance to look it over, and before I put the solution out there, the authorities wouldn't pay attention. And now I think everybody is stuck, which is unfortunate.

ReplyI tried using Oranchak's "webtoy" before all this came to a head. It's based on the theory that this is a simple substitution cipher. The "game" that I referred to comes from the Halloween card that was sent to Paul Avery. "I feel it in my bones, you ache to know my name, AND SO I'LL CLUE YOU IN, but then why spoil the "game." For a long time, people have agreed that the Halloween card may give hints and clues about solving the 340. I risked taking a lot of heat because I suspected that this solution was in fact accurate. If I'm wrong, everyone will get their last words in and that will be in for me. If it's verified by Quantico...well, people are going to think what they want to think, regardless. There's nothing I can do to change that and without a detailed write up, nobody at this point has what they need to prove me wrong. David used a photo of the Caesar shifts supplied by Patch. The picture itself is of my first guess. A few days later, I sat down to doublecheck my work and realized that a few of the shifts may have been off, so I corrected them using a fresh sheet of paper. It was not until several months later that I came to what I believe was the most accurate guess, and told Tewksbury Patch.

I guess by that method I could have made it say that I did it, nevermind the Pope, but I didn't use that method. The write up will be out as soon as Quantico has a had a chance to look it over.

It wasn't a simple substitution cipher. It was Caesar, among other things.

Any code created by man can be cracked by man given the correct variables, one time pad or not. Monkeys writing Shakespeare, buddy.

If I were to cipher ISNTCRCKED against a Caesar shift of 3, it would read LVQWFUFNHG. Now, if I put the coded text out as a quiz and somebody was able to decipher it correctly, does that mean its not cracked because there are words in it that are mispelled?

Could you elaborate? The way that you worded it confused me. Who is trying to cover what up?
