There was a GHOST here.
It's gone now.
What if we just made community colleges into prisons? Like, you decide you wanna take a creative writing course, get registered for Mr. Grayson's MWF 7 PM lecture, and when you walk in on your first day- BAM! Maximum security prison!

Think of all the serial killings we'd solve!

I was reading Wikipedia after hearing this news and the black dahlia killers likely son reckons his dad did that murder, the Chicago lipstick murders and maybe a bunch more including the zodiac killings

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Amazed it took this long, and that there are more to solve. I woulda thought with the legions of obsessives and modern tech, any homebrew cipher would have gotten cracked if it was possible to. Like, a wacko with an a 50s army manual on ciphers can dupe the best cryptographers for over half a century.

Do you think he couldn't spell, or is it intentional, do the spelling mistakes make the code more difficult to crack?

People misspell words sometimes, I'd guess it was just an error. But who knows.

Technological advances aren't really linear, one time cryptopads reign supreme until some nerd trains up a quantum computer or something

The crazy thing is there are a number of people with tons of circumstantial evidence against them in this case. More than in many cases that do get solved.

I think that was to sell his second book. If it were him he'd be in his mid-late sixties at that point iirc.

A classmate of the first couple murdered claimed he did it on his deathbed.

i don't think a guy in his 60s would have much trouble murdering a 6 year old. might be unrelated murders in the chicago case though

Its much easier to encypt something so it can never be solved than it is to make a difficult, but solvable, cipher

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
