Section 4 The 340 Hidden Message

Section 4

======================================================================       The 340 message

======================================================================

The Zodiac Killer Enigma

                                                            The 340 message overlay.

                      

   Again we use this key like we did on the map with the compass. Except we align it with the dice and rotate. We know it rotates because the timer in the other bomb drawing has an arrow.

    The timer turns. When we overlay and align the timer with the dots common sense tells us to turn the timer rotating it over the 340/map overlay, revealing words. A hidden message. 

     The dice that number the quadrants give us the order. We start in quadrant 1 and then to go 2 the finish in quadrant 3. Only the last dice in each of the quadrants are used for the message. They number the code and the order.  The rest are meant for numbering the quadrants and giving locations on the map. If you try this with print outs then cut out your boxes. I show both digital and print out examples here. 

                     These dice number the four quadrants giving us the order of the hidden message.

      This hidden message is revealed by using an overlay mask aligned with the dots and turned along with the numbered quadrants. If you are looking for a substitution type code (if there is one) then I bet it would also have something to with this numbering. Also, you may have to throw out all of the symbols used for other purposes like marking locations on the map. This is just an insight. 

      Both documents have a police ruler in each example for scale. The ruler on the bottom of the 340 is 3 inches, and the ruler on the bomb diagram is 1 inch. I have checked them against each other. Below is an example.

         We are interested in these three dots. Each one is the dot numbering the quadrant. I checked the others. I didn't find anything. That doesn't mean this can't have more uses.

                                                                The "overlay" message.

                                                                 

                                                We start at the Crystal Springs Golf  Course.

 I recently found that an unsolved murder of a young girl occurred at this location in 1969. I will add more about it at the end of this post

      Here is an animation I made of this. I did the best I could anyway. It starts off showing the scale of each document then follow the flag/timer. I have to put this banner here to get your attention. I am one of those people who like to scan through things myself.

                                                                 

                                                                "I took her, love Zodiac"

      See...It is pretty simple once you see how it is worked. It just sounds complicated. What it takes two minutes to show takes two hours to explain. It is is a clear, simple, straight forward message based on a form of cryptography called masking. All the codes combined to form a giant one time pad. A code jumble. The context of the message obviously applies to one of these places on this map. Possibly even someone important the police were looking for at that time.  Masking was really quite popular at one time and is still used today. What makes it so great is that it is impossible to crack and find the hidden message without the mask. I know people were wanting a big long complicated message, but it just isn't there. Besides, the locations and everything else we got from the 340/map overlay is nothing to be scoffed at. Locations, people... LOCATIONS!!!. Think about it. Seriously.. stop right now and think about that for just ten seconds.  The 340/map overlay gives us a few more important things also as you will see.

                                            This link was added after I created this post.

       Some of the info in the rest of this post speaks to this so I am adding it in here. I write new posts about my work but is am putting it here for new people who just ran across this. After I created this post and did more research into these locations I found something truly shocking. I predicted he may have taken a girl from one of these locations because of the message you have just seen. At the very first location marked, the number 1 square I found a  girl had been taken from this place then her body dumped and found months later. Here is a link to this article and more info will be added as it is discovered. I post my work in real-time as I find it. I don't know what I will find when I research this stuff. I just do the work and present it to you for you to decide, 

                                                            "I took her, Luv Zodiac"

                                                             

           http://www.zodiackillerenigma.com/2017/12/did-zodiac-killer-murder-susan-nason.html


======================================================================

         The word love is one of the most common ways to end a letter or message just like the word dear is one of the most common ways to begin a letter or message, but Zodiac would never use words like that would he?

   

       Some have attacked my use of the word "Luv". I am glad they did so I can go ahead and address it. One said the spelling was never used until "texting" came out a few years ago. Someone also schooled them pretty well on it. Thank you, whoever you are. I would give you props if I knew your name. That was impressive.  What about the Chevy Luv truck. I have seen Valentine's things with words and spelling such as that. What about people through history who couldn't spell very good. What about the origins of the word itself. In fact, I can prove the spelling was used for a very long time. I can even show it in the dictionary.

          There is it in black and white..so to speak. The pronunciation. After all... That is all that matters. I also have to point out that it is a very very common way to sign letters and messages. It is actually one of the most common endings. Look it up yourself.  Zodiac did it just to be a smart ass. If he had spelled it as "love", then it would have been too obvious. It makes perfect sense if you think about it for more than two seconds. On top of all of that one of the things Zodiac was famous for is making puns, and misspelling words just like this all over his letters on purpose. Anyone that has looked at the letters knows that. You have to think about the context of the message also. We found a bunch of locations on the map along with a small message suggesting he took a girl from somewhere. Who? I have no idea, but I do think I may have found a hint to a name. It is at the very end of the blog. To further address the claim that "LUV" was never used before texting, I have posted a few common examples of the spelling "LUV" used commonly before the last decade.

       I can guess that the person that made that statement is right around 20 years old. If he were any older then he would have known the spelling of the word "LUV" is much older than texting. All texting proves is that it is human nature to spell the word "love" as "LUV". In fact..thank you for the texting example of the use of the word "Luv":).  Luv has been spelled like that for centuries, but the biggest clue to it all is... the fact that it is even in the 340 code. The Zodiac himself wrote the letters L, U, and V beside each other in the code. All I did was high light it with an overlay mask the Zodiac sent disguised as a bomb drawing. Keep in mind I PROVED a connection between the drawing and the map in an overlay when it matched the highway running through San Francisco and the timer over the compass. It matched more than one separate point.

              As someone else pointed out the British actually use this spelling. I was just watching the Dead Pool with Clint Eastwood and saw it in the closed captions.

       San Francisco's own Dirty Harry himself(Clint Eastwood) even uses it in this movie while having a conversation with Liam Neeson. These are the actual closed captions from the movie. So the spelling "LUV" was never used before the last decade?

       I took that picture right off my T.V. I have recently noticed it in all kinds of movies. I am watching one right now that uses it quite frequently called "Peeping Tom"  made in 1960. It is about a serial killer who videotapes women while stabbing them. It is screwed up. I watch these old movies and things because Zodiac got his inspiration for his ideas from somewhere. He may have even got them from an old movie like the one I am watching right now. You never know, I might run across it. He does reference things like that a lot.

   

      If you haven't figured it out by now you can click on images to enlarge them.  I will do my best to address concerns that anyone may have about anything. That is why I had to put this little section in on "LUV".. I am not complaining. It is good that people do that.

       

                                                It actually helps, so, I know what things to address.

                           

   I have recently found some unsolved murders in some of these areas. One is the murder of a 9-year-old girl in the Crystal Springs Area in 1969. That is the area marked 1 by the dice. I am researching this stuff more and it will all be posted in a separate post. All of this stuff takes time and it is a lot of work. I have other articles I have done about this murder. It is very interesting. 

                                       .



                                                        Side by Side  of the overlays

                                                        The original overlays did with print outs

 There is "the bad news". He suggests that he kidnapped a girl from one of the locations revealed on the map.

             

     I recently discovered an unsolved murder of a girl that went missing at the location marked 1 by the dice in the overlays. The Crystal Springs Lake. 9-year-old Susan Nason went missing here in 1969. She was missing for two months before they found her body. When they found her body the cause of death was from being hit in the head with a blunt object. He beat her brains out then dumped the body. The Crystal Springs Reservoir was dragged for evidence. When I found this murder I found something else in an unrelated search. I found a timeline with murders of the bay area from the 1930s to 2000. When I got to the Zodiac stuff on the timeline.. guess what I saw.. This unsolved murder right in the middle of the Zodiac murders. Here is a link to where I found this timeline.

                                           http://www.timelines.ws/cities/SFBA_C.HTML

                                                            "I took her, Luv Zodiac."

       Those that have been watching over the last year know that I said a girl probably went missing at one of the locations marked on this map. I just found her... Is it possible Zodiac didn't commit this crime?.. of course.. is it possible he is just trying to take credit for it?...of course. Is it also possible he did commit this crime and this is what the message and the bad news would be? Hell yes, it is. Zodiac threatened to kill schoolchildren many times. 4 of the people he attacked were teenagers. I have found things at other locations also. They are mentioned in other posts. 

        Watch "Turn" "Washington Spies"  on AMC. I just saw a preview of it and they showed and overlay exactly like the kind I have been looking for to show as an example. They called it "masking". You can't find a better example than that.

                                                   

         That is exactly how they taught us to do it in the 3rd grade at a place called, Caney School. (In the early 1980s, not that long after the first Zodiac murders) The best school I ever went to. Except we would draw a picture, hiding boxes in it. Then we would write a  letter that goes with the key or hint to a book and a page number that could also be used with the key. This is old but very effective stuff. It is impossible to solve without the key. Once you have the key it can be used over and over with different letters or codes. I looked every damn where for an example of masking like that then it just flashes across the T.V. screen. You honestly wouldn't believe how often things like that happen to me. 

     This masking could run through all of the letters, and if the zodiac had sent more masks he could have used the 340 code to say just about anything he wanted to say....if you had the right mask... I bet there are more that were either never sent or the public doesn't know about. There is one more possible mask that could be used on the 340 to reveal a hidden message. that I know of. I am not going to say what it is, but you should be able to figure it out. Well... actually 2 to 3 more possible masks that could be used to reveal a hidden message...that I know of... They could also be nothing, but someone who is smarter and more creative than I am might be able to figure it out... These possible masks are posted in this blog. Like I said..with the right mask...you could say just about anything you wanted to say. One thing I am positive about... Overlays are the way this is worked. I think if this had been realized back in the day that more masks would have been sent. 

        

                                  Here is a link to one of the most famous masking codes known.

      It is literally one of the only ones you will find on the Internet. It is rather simple and is only limited by the creator's imagination. When I try to research this stuff to find more examples to show you all I usually get back in my searches is stuff that I myself have put on the Internet. It is kind of sad that the Internet doesn't give this part of history the attention it deserves. Check it out.

Section 5 The 32 Symbol Map code and JKF WROTE

Section 5

=====================================================================

   The code that came with the map animated

=====================================================================

The Zodiac Killer Enigma

                                                                 Here is the  32 code

                     The four quadrants of the map/340 code are also how this puzzle is worked.
               
                    It is easier to just show it than it is to explain it. The order doesn't really matter. You
                                                  just put one symbol in each quadrant.
                                                             This is called "transposing".

             


                     Below is an animation to give you a better idea of how the puzzle is worked.
               
                                                                                         
                                      

 

     It is worked by following this number pattern so he didn't lie when he said this code had something to do with the map. Because of room and other things I had shown you the way I did above, but if you want to stop by my house I can show you.;) It is kind of hard to explain everything the way I would like online.  So I do the best I can.

                   

                                                   
                                                  It is actually part of the "JKF" pattern
                        but I had to do a separate section dedicated to explaining this puzzle.

      After we get the hint we use the number of characters in the puzzle as a fill in the blanks. This is actually a common form of a puzzle. I have seen a few like this in puzzle books and different places over the years. The Zodiac even left us hints to this in his letters.

                                    JFK did write that, but I think    JKF  wrote the Zodiac Ciphers.      

      This puzzle may give us a hint to a name while at the same time disguising this hint as something else. I always believed he wanted attention and credit for what he did.  I figured he had a box somewhere with all the evidence in it along with a letter that says, "HAHA. I made it this long and you never caught me", that would turn up after his death. That is why I think he is still around. Just my opinion but I am state mine just like everyone else.

   

The guys at Opord came up with the same solution for this, but they went in a different direction with it.  The fact that two independent sources came to this conclusion separately lends it validity.                                                            To see their work and read their pdf,

                                                                        Click here

       The Zodiac was a clever man. He even used misdirection in the solutions to his puzzles. If we figured this puzzle out he may have thought we would stop with the JFK solution.  It is a trademark with serial killers like this to feel smarter and superior to everyone else, which is why most serial killers do what they do, and it is a form of having control or sometimes revenge. The BTK killer hid his identity and where he lived in his codes. So I took what this puzzle said literally. JKF WROTE. I Think JKF could be his initials. That is exactly something that someone like this would do. You will see what I think is proof of this as you read on. Then I thought," well... If JKF wrote the Zodiac letters then maybe something he said would fit in this puzzle as a fill in the blanks as well. Something he boasted and bragged about. Something he thought we would never figure out."

                                                       
                                                                     "JKF    WROTE"

     Some might say when the Zodiac said a code was to be coupled with the map he was talking about this code. He gave us a hint when he made that statement and gave us this code along with it that had 17 characters across like the 340.  You just saw the number pattern with the 340 map coupling works for this code. So it was used with the map. It wouldn't make very much sense to send a secret code and also send the directions along with it on how to work the code. It would make sense to leave hints. You can bet when George Washington sent his secret messages and codes that he didn't send the directions along with it. Hints and riddles about the code's true purpose is another story. So, when someone says it was this code and not the 340 that was meant to be used with the map..well..think about it. It is called misdirection. The whole point of sending secret codes and messages is getting the people you don't want to solve it to believe it is something else.

     That is Secret Message 101 stuff.  So for the people who wanna say when Zodiac said a code was to be coupled with the map that he was talking about this code and not the 340 code...well....that wouldn't be the first time Zodiac has fibbed and mislead people now would it ;) and you all know that. That is the joke behind it. Think about it. I would have done the exact same thing. More than that..it comes down to common sense...How the hell are you going to couple that code with a map to find locations?  You will see the true importance of this code as you read on.  "JKF WROTE"

    Believe it or not, though.. it may not give us locations..this "JKF WROTE" is very important. I believe they are initials to a name. It can still tell us an area where bombs or something might be.. how you ask. I solved this because of this number ordering in the 340 map coupling.

                                 

                           One character in the code for each Quadrant. You start in the 0 Quadrant. I laid it out in the animation the way I did for practical reasons. People often forget that 0 is the first number. Hell...I do myself. I can finally add this part in now that I broke the main body of work down. I couldn't update it before because the page was so big. Below I numbered each one. I will make another animation and add it in if I have to.

      Whether you work it clockwise or counterclockwise..it really doesn't matter. The end result is the same. I made another animation to show this. The end result is the same. It is the number order and the 4 quadrants that are the key to it.

                                             

  In the image below I placed each group of characters in the quadrant and order they are supposed to go. It is this number pattern in the 340 map coupling that gives us the order.

       Notice the Quadrant the "JKF WROTE" is decoded in. You have seen this quadrant before in connection with bombs. I think there could be something in this quadrant, but I really can't say what right now. In the 0 quadrant, you can see the square and compass motif again.

      I find it interesting these two symbols end up beside each other. This is the only time the omega symbol appears in the codes.

      Wouldn't it be interesting if the 340 cipher had another secret in it similar to what you have just seen, A transposition of each symbol from the numbered quadrants in the order of 0,1,2,3, Zodiac sent the 408 cipher in three parts so the quadrant marked 0 may not even be used? It is just an idea. It is something I will check out in the future if someone doesn't beat me to it. It is just a thought, but every thought is worth at least checking out.

This quadrant of the map is marked by a string of bombs in the School bus bomb Map overlay.

      Something important is in this area. A few things probably. I don't know if they were actual bombs, but they could be. In my opinion, the bomb would bot have worked ( at least the way the Zodiac presented it ) There are too many variables and wet cell car batteries die over time. He said the bomb was meant to be planted for a year before it was activated. Look up the battery thing. Even the batteries we use today go dead over time, and back then they were much worse because of poor insulation. If he had used dry cells it may have been a different story...That is if he actually planted a bomb and tried it the way he described. 

    He said a school bus would break a beam of light setting the bomb off while cars passed by unharmed. What is to stop a big truck or something the size of a school bus form setting it off? It is interesting to note that the area in that overlay marked by the string of bombs is a place where the military stored bombs and things. I have a little more on that somewhere in another section. I don't think there was an actual bomb, but there could have been....and if there was...it didn't work, but I wouldn't have expected it to the way he described anyway.

        Remember the most important thing about this code is the JKF WROTE. I believe they are initials to a name. In the end... this code was coupled with the map to be solved. It may give an area where a bomb maybe or something else. It just wasn't used to find specific locations.

                                                                       READ THIS!!!!

     Now I offer a theory or an idea about the 340 cipher. You saw how I transposed the 32 symbol code... If the 340 code is indeed a cipher or maybe even something else... Wouldn't it be interesting if you transposed the 340 by that number patter 0,1,2,3..... and then you found a hidden message or the right order for the substitution code? That is only an idea and I may try transposing it in that order and posting it. If that is a way to find a message then my opinion would be that the lines of code dividing the cipher into 4 quadrants would have to be thrown out and maybe even the last line of the code... also the symbols used for marking the map or other things may also have to be thrown out.

     Then they may not have to be. Also, the quadrant marked 0 may have to be thrown out. It is just an idea. I know that some symbols only appear one time in the code and others only a couple of times in a code that has 62 different symbols in it .. that is nearly 3 times as many as the alphabet. All of this is just a possibility but I would like to see someone try anyway. I may try myself from time to time. I do think I will try transposing it with this order. I tried something similar before but o moved the whole quadrant. Next time, I think I will do it symbol by symbol, like I did with the code you have just seen and see what happens. It is worth a shot. I have a post where I have been working on this very project. It is titled, "Breakdown and Transpositions of the 340".

                             Something I want to add.. Vallejo has a John F. Kennedy library.

             I found something pretty interesting about this but I can't post it right now. I have to do more research before I jump the gun.
