Amazing. I sure wonder who he is/was
Bkmrk
In before the “Drink Your Ovaltine.”
He creates a cipher that takes 50 years to crack, but misspells a basic word. 🤔
He misspelled a lot of words, deliberately. By the way, when you misspell a word in a code, you make it harder to decipher.
It sounds like he could be ruled out as being Dr Hodel the black dahlia killer, but maybe not.
sounds like a muslim... and paradice, he’s a gambling addict... quadraplegic... should be easy to find in california.
He likely didn’t quit killing. He more likely tried to kill the wrong person and is pushing up daisies somewhere.
Never caught any traitors during the Vietnam War, never found who's funding a coordinating Antifa.
Wasted a ton of money trying to frame our president -
yup, that's our FBI..
I just assumed OJ deciphered it while looking for the real killer.

Yup. If someone deliberately misspells words, if makes the encryption more opaque as you can’t use standard word frequency checks to try and identify common words in the cypher.
Isn’t this the one where Zodiac was supposed to name himself? Or am I confusing it with something else?
Paradise, California, was once known as “Paradice”. (Source, GNIS, USGS)
Do not think it is a misspelling. I think he left a clue on purpose.
In all passphrases I use, there are intentional misspellings of really oddball and nonsense words.
Yes, it was his MO. I have read many books, stories and articles on this elusive serial killer.
“It’s a complicated bit of code creation, Oranchak said, but a basic scheme for it can be found in at least one U.S Army code manual from the 1950s.”
Zodiac killer must-have served/drafted into the Military as a radio operator in the 1950s. Could have seen action in the Korean War.
