it def says something about this case that the message ends up (unsurprisingly) being more of the same boring braggadocio

I have a slightly used vault that used to belong to Al Capone I'd be interested in selling for $1M or best offer. If interested, please contact me care of FOX NEWS.

TMZ broke it first but I can't read their article due to work filters
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 17:21 (two years ago) link
The investigators were commissioned by a television producer who obviously wants to hype the audience numbers, so the linked article is rather thin on details. But the guy they name is dead, so libel shouldn't be a legal worry. In other news, the case of Jack the Ripper has finally been solved... for the ninth time!

the only clue they've revealed is that he had wrinkles on his forehead.
― adam t. (abanana), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 18:28 (two years ago) link
looking at some zodiac forums, nobody believes the name works as a key to the ciphers. It uses the same bullshit anagramming that Graysmith used -- it produces nonsense text, then rearranges the letters until they make words.

What do the forums think of that Wolfram decipherment krakow posted?

Aren't these just normal wrinkles, not scars?

the actual press release on this is much more interesting than anything in the news reports which are all kind of vague:

intrigued by this 'criminal posse'
― akm, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 23:02 (two years ago) link
i am skeptical purely because it’s Riverside which always felt like a separate set of murders than Vallejo/Bay Area zodiac …but that’s just my nerdy halfassed opinion and there is so much ~un~confirmed that any sense that theyve “got” the guy feels wildly insanely premature
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 23:08 (two years ago) link
where are the claims that the letters in his name decode some of the cyphers coming from
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 7 October 2021 13:52 (two years ago) link
The claim is in the press release but they haven’t showed their working yet. One of the case breakers mentioned on Twitter it involves anagrams which doesn’t sound particularly convincing.

yeah I mean these are retired law enforcement. are these usually people we just believe?

idk that i believe un-retired law enforcement
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Thursday, 7 October 2021 17:51 (two years ago) link
I don't really follow the case so I don't know how the circumstantial evidence for this suspect compares to that of any other, but it's a good story, and it seems like a big deal that it should be possible to definitively confirm whether or not it was him:

key memory of seeing this for the first time with mr veghim being SO psyched at all the period recreations of bay area/SF stuff, the chron, the freeway, transamerica, tv stuff etcme being SO psyched by all the zodiac recreations of the letters, codexes, cards, and the suspect casting etcwe nerded out so hard on this movie in completely separate parallel lanes lol
