When he was done, he had decoded the following text: KILL/SLF/DR/HELP/ME/KILL/MYSELF/GAS/CHAMBER/AEIOUR/DAYS/QUESTIONSABLE/EVERYY/WAKING/MOMENT/IM/ALIVE/MY/PRIDE/LOST/I/CANT/GO/ON/LIVING/IN/THIS/WAY/KILLING/PEOPLE/I/HAV/KILLD/SO/MANY/PEOPLE/CANT/HELP/MYSELF/IM/SO/ANGRY/I/COULD/DO/MY/THING/IM/ALONE/IN/THIS/WORLD/MY/WHOLE/LIFE/FUL/O/LIES/IM/UNABLE/TO/STOP/BY/THE/TIME/YOU/SOLVE/THIS/I/WILL/HAV/KILLD/ELEVEN/PEOPLE/PLEASE/HELP/ME/STOP/KILLING/PEOPLE/PLEASE/MY/NAME/IS/LEIGH/ALLEN/Īrthur Leigh Allen was a prime suspect during the Zodiac investigation. Starliper split his work into two sessions of 6 hours and 3 hours.
340 cipher series#
He said he was able to figure out the non-patterned series that by finding “similarities in the numerical sequence.” “And I was able to keep going from there.” For the first few lines, the pattern remained constant, but it changed beyond that. “What are the next two going to be? right? I figure, what’s the first word he’s going to throw in there? Kill,” said Starliper. He found the first two letters to be “K” and “I”. After everything symbolic had been interpreted alphabetically, he started applying reverse Caesar shifts. “I first went in there and I did that,” he said. For example, a ^ or < symbol could be interpreted as inverted or sideways “V”s. To combat this problem, Starliper extracted symbols and changed them to letters they could correspond with.
340 cipher full#
This doesn’t mean the 340 is such an easy task to decode, considering the fact that the original 340 cipher is full of symbols: >, +, and ▲ being just a few of the signs found in the code.
340 cipher code#
So I figured, why not start this with Caesar code using 3,4.”Ĭaesar code is a substitution type cipher where an encoder has “simply replaced each letter in a message with the letter that is three places further down the alphabet,” according to. 707.707 are the area codes for Vallejo, Napa, and Solano. that Zodiac is going to be prosaic enough not to mention the U.S. “So that’s what I started with,” said Starliper. It was then that he found out that 340 is the area code for a portion of the U.S Virgin Islands - not an insignificant connection. Starliper believed that the “340” of the 340 cipher was significant, and had some tie-in with the U.S. “Where everyone else has nothing when they reach paradice so they are afraid of death.Starliper said that after becoming interested in the code, he abandoned it for some time, but after that, an idea for breaking the code came to him almost by “accident.”Īccording to Robert Graysmith, in “Zodiac”, tips received by police after Darlene Ferrin’s murder indicated that the killing was connected to the U.S Virgin Islands. “I now have enough slaves to work for me,” the Zodiac writes, presumably referring to his victims. It includes the “same kind of attention-seeking junk from the Zodiac” he was known for, according to Oranchak. The codebreakers’ programs had to sort through 650,000 possible reading directions to find the correct one for the cipher.Īs for the message? It’s as horrific as you’d imagine. While solvers only needed to figure out the key for the Zodiac’s other ciphers, for this one, a key was necessary as well as an unscrambling of the letters. The cipher was exceedingly difficult because of the Zodiac’s use of transpositions of the encrypted symbols. This 340-character one is the last to be solved. (At least the active period officials know of, anyway.) The murderer, who claimed to have killed more than 30 people, sent four ciphers in total. The Zodiac Killer, who operated in Northern California in the late ’60s and early ’70s, taunted the Bay Area press during his active period with ciphers.
