Nice to have a real solve and not some work by a crank that requires huge leaps in logic like you often get when reading about such things.

He more likely tried to kill the wrong person and is pushing up daisies somewhere.

I doubt it. He seemed to be a pretty good victim profiler.

...supposed to name himself? I don’t know.

I don’t think all murderers are crazy, just evil. But if these are his genuine thoughts he was obviously out of touch with reality.

Based on this I wonder if he believed everyone he murdered would be his slave after his death.

To think, all he had to do was wait a few years and write his notes in cursive, and no-one would be able to decode them. :P

Well, at least we know where Joe Biden was for 47 years, even if he still doesn’t and he does seem to require a cipher key to figure out what the heck he just said.

Like DB Cooper, Amelia Airhurt and Alec Baldwin, we’ll just have to keep looking into the mysteries they left behind.

Did they decipher all the characters, or just decipher some and say the rest was junk thrown in for the heck of it? That was what the History Channel “experts” did.

After doing a bit of digging, it looks like I might have been thinking of Z13 where the only code is after the words ‘My name is.....’ that has had numerous suggestions. One of which is Alfred E. Neuman.

Sounds like the devil to me from this part:

“I NOW HAVE ENOUGH SLAVES TO WORK FOR ME WHERE EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTHING WHEN THEY REACH PARADICE SO THEY ARE AFRAID OF DEATH I AM NOT AFRAID BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MY NEW LIFE IS LIFE WILL BE AN EASY ONE IN PARADICE DEATH”

Just what I thought of when I read it.

I have not looked into suspects but I did read a list of the main ones and who and why they were ruled out. One not ruled out is this one: ROSS SULLIVAN Why Suspected:  The 1966 murder of Cheri Jo Bates in Riverside, Ca. bore many similarities to the Zodiac killings. Staffers at the Riverside City College library, near where Bates’s body was found, said a coworker, Ross Sullivan, had made them uncomfortable and disappeared for several days after the murder. Sullivan also sported a crew cut and glasses similar to the composite sketch of the Zodiac. He moved to northern California in 1967 and was hospitalized several times for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. "Sullivan wore an Army jacket and military-style boots like those that left footprints at the Lake Berryessa stabbings. Zodiac buffs also note that his letters mention “The Mikado,” by Gilbert and Sullivan, which could be a reference to Sullivan’s name". https://www.history.com/news/could-any-of-these-men-have-been-the-zodiac-killer Guy looks just like the sketch.

This was also analyzed by another researcher in 2011. Google zodiac victims.
