Anthrax Letter Writer Profile

[bootless]

That style of "1" is European, as is the date style - or military. Let's not forget a left-hander. Perhaps a member of the "elite" (ha) Republican Guard from Iraq who got kicked out of the military and the country for being left-handed, i.e., unclean. I would be very surprised if the perp was domestic.

The same person did NOT write all of those letters. How can they say that? They're totally different in the amount of pressure one used to write to the printing of the letters and numbers. What fool is doing this "profile"?

[kcvl]

I really think Fox Network should tell the dirty details about the lettters they got. And post the pictures of them.

Did I miss something?

[Terrorista Nada]

LOL

Is there any mention of two of the letters being zerox copies? Two of them sure look like it to me. Note the last "T" with the rope looking thingy hanging on its left igit in both letters.

Anyone in the US military would write the date as "09" as in 09 Sept 01. I'm born in America all and never used slashes in dates, i.e., 9/11/01. Kinda strange if you ask me.

[Clinton's a rapist]

Yes, officer, that's the man!

[Angelique]

The use of the 09 is a good observation. In finance the double digits are always used, but I wonder if scientists do the same?

[Revolting cat!]

This looks like it was written with the left hand, but not necessarily by a lefthander.

I just wrote 'THIS IS NEXT' with my left hand (normally write with the right,) and holy sh!t, the writing is almost identical to the letter. Should I be concerned?

. Let's not forget a left-hander

A left handed person might leave minute palm marks from the ink as they traverse from left to right. Take it from someone who knows.

[fnord]

not sure what you are getting at ... a " / " and an " S " printed block style are essentially exactly the same upside down.

[Media2Powerful]

The "W"'s and "M"'s are odd. Pointy.

[Angelique]

LOL

[bvw]

That's nifty. Let's try this sampler now:

         09-11-01

THIS IS NEXT

TAKE PENACILIN NOW

DEATH TO AMERICA

DEATH TO ISRAEL

ALLAH IS GREAT

Personally I think the "G" and the "6" are telltales -- unlike every other letter, those were written in natural tempo. Maybe they are too close to something the writer writes all the time, and his muscle memory overwhelmed the utter paced stroke used in all the other letters.

[spunkets]

He prepared the packages over the weekend. Mailed 'em late Monday after work...dark out. That's how they got the tuesday postmark.

[Media2Powerful]

ROTFL....bingo. Have you been waking up in odd places and forgetting large blocks of time, sometimes days? Especially Tuesdays?

[Egg]

BY golly, I think you've got something there. Perhaps this terrorist wasn't satisfied with the way Brokaw covered the election, and/or the way Daschle reacted to the idea that Bush won the election instead of pulling more for Gore...

[snopercod]

What a joke. This could apply to anybody.

Adult male? I'm surprised they didn't include the words "white", "of European descent", and "a member of the Republican party".

[RickGee]

The names and address on each envelope are noticeably tilted on a downward slant from left to right.

Someone here said that this indicates that the person is right-handed, but I'm right-handed
and my writing/printing has always slanted upward as I go to the right, unless I am being careful.

[Revolting cat!]

I'm surprised they didn't include the words "white", "of European descent", and "a member of the Republican party".

Well, why state the obvious! That's all implied. Also this:
"toothless, currently residing in Randy Weaver's old cabin at Ruby Ridge."

[snopercod]

He was angry and sweaty.

A sweaty-toothed madman? [from Carpe Diem]

[Angelique]

Since he mentions/uses the 4th grade as a return address

I thought that quite curious, and could be a clue in some tie, like a child, to the perpetrator, although I guess that is too obvious.
