So a cryptographer dismissed this result and the police aren't looking at it. Third or fourth time someone's cracked this, this year. Why is this special? Seems he took a lot of assumptions.
Forgive me. But I've seen Glenn Beck and Jon Stewart (satirically for Jon) make ridiculous connections using numbers. That's what I saw when I read, right after the Virgin Island 340 area code:
This is where it gets even creepier. 3+4+0=7. Right. So you get 7+0=7. 707...707 are the area codes for Vallejo, Napa, and Solano.
Also, is the message decoded supposed to look that nonsensical? What did the other Zodiac decoded messages look like? Were they more coherent?
- alorres 15y agoI like how the "e" is taken out of some words but included in nonsense like "Aeiour." What's that even supposed to mean?
- spudlyo 15y agoThis seemed fishy to me, I did some digging and I found a posting on the zodiackillerfacts.com forums which debunks this forced "solution". It turns out that the 340 area code was not used for the Virgin Islands until 1997, which to me seems pretty damning.

A quick check of NANPA (North American Numbering Plan Administration) shows an in service data of 06/01/1997 http://www.nanpa.com/nas/public/npa_query_step2.do;nanpaid=rPSpTpcJ2Qd7WVn2ZGWRKgvD52XJlr2f2jNdLczgLZnpjLj1BnC8!-1086977106?method=displayNpa http://www.nanpa.com/nas/public/npa_query_step2.do;nanpaid=r...
- michael_michael 15y agoHis letters weren't particularly coherent and infamously contained numerous misspellings. Example: http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=139 http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pi...
