Confirmed by the FBI. It was cracked by David Oranchak and a couple other guys. Great work!

How exciting to see some serious progress after 50 years. The message does not get us any closer to identifying the killer IMO and the message itself is rather drab but still cool. Are we absolutely sure that this solve is accurate?

Are we absolutely sure that this solve is accurate? I don't think it is 100% accurate, but close to it. I'm wondering if there is more to it... other ways to find more messages.

It is doubtful my friend. Look at the message. It was not me that called the Dunbar show. 14 days letter this new cipher shows up. How complex of a cipher do you think Z could have put together in such a short time frame? It's unfortunate yes, but it is what it is, just a plain boring message from the killer with no new clues to help with solving the case. Not we have to hope for the z13 or the z32 to be solved and have useful clues. IMO these ciphers and letters were just to get LE chasing their tails. We will never know the identity of the killer. Did he get lucky? Yes he did. But he was never going to give his name so the people that say he was an ego maniac that was obsessed with getting on the front page, that is not true. Same goes for the people that say Z wanted to prove he was smarter than everyone else. Not true. And he wasn't all that smart. He did outsmart everyone but a lot of luck played into that, too. An egomaniac would have left behind something that let us know who he was and that never happened.

It wasnt solved by crypto guys, his name is right in the middle staring at them. Its a double cipher. The Z13 and Z10 - name in Z340, my name is........... Law enforcement has had this for 5 months. Everything was solved. You use a specific cereal box cipher wheel and additional aids. Quite easy, really. Match on all.

Everyone thinks Zodiac was an expert in codes & ciphers lol I think this is WRONG He made too many mistakes to be an expert I'd bet everything I own on him being an amateur that read a couple of books on ciphers and started putting together his own because it was fun for him. Look at the two that were decoded. What did they say? Nothing No clues to who he is And again, way too many mistakes made in both ciphers
