the letters:



So what do you guys think? complete jibberish or a possible code to crack? The FBI couldn't do it after 11 years.

Would be difficult without some more context behind the scenario of whom was killed or any potential motive, but frankly there's not much even regular folks like us could conclude that they FBI haven't already had their experts attempt and stress to the n'th degree already.

See does anyone thing stuff like this can be a code in a code in a code type situation? So when you get it perfectly right it's still gibberish. and perfectly right again it's still gibberish then a third time the message is revealed?

Maybe it's just me but seems like a great way to hide a message; 3 completely different random codes and the ones you'd use to decipher are based on something common between the people
That's what I was thinking too. There's also lots of parenthesis sentences...

At least the killer gave us the virtue of dividing his codes via paragraphing and parenthesis, but aside from that we're pretty much in the dark as to making all that nonsense into tangible information.

I think that last line in the first page of the letter is an address then zip code.

It could be encrypted, like the codes used during WWII(?), and probably like encryption software (I dunno). Unless you have the key, you have absolutely no hope of ever figuring it out. The key itself is basically gibberish in itself.

I can't remember the name of the code/codex thingy (or who used it... my history sucks).

Cannot help, but this stuff reminds me of the games that tanga.com has under the play section. The one word wonders. Can view past games and play. Not trying to promote them, but I use to play their games all the time. Especially the one word wonders, where they sometimes give you a a paragraph and out of that paragraph, there is one word hidden in there that you have to figure out.

True, however autopsy reports would indicate if he was killed prior to that time fame.
Most bodies are found the day after the initial slaying, so either way that puts us nowhere near Friday lol.

I'm not sure where you are getting Friday from, however. The article says he may have written the note a few days before his death, so he could have been killed on Monday/Tuesday but written the notes on Friday the week before.
