in the stine letter, zodiac threatened to wipe out a school bus full of children. which luckily never happened. i dont know if this was discussed, probably was. but, could this empty threat be in...

I don't think Z wrote the letter before the attack. The details he included indicate that he was watching or observed the police behavior shortly after the attack IMO. However, I think he got the hell...

The attack on Stine lends some credence to this claim. Z had already murdered high school kids and maybe he was crazy enough to attempt to blow up a school bus.Well, not only that, but police didn't...

I've always thought of the whole idea of "bombing school busses" as a pretty desperate attempt to divert attention away from what Z realized was his hugest mistake ever (being seen...

Maybe someone familiar with PH can answer this: Is the Washington and Maple intersection in the direction of Z's presumed escape route? I wonder if he looked up at a nearby street sign as he escaped...

IMO, the Zodiac was just making a threat to harm that which many people love the most in their lives, their children, in a place where their parents would be helpless to protect them, a school bus.I...

Greygost, I read your post from a while back: June 9Anyway, a police call box was dual purpose; to ring in and to talk. In the days before radio, police needed a regularly scheduled way to contact HQ....

His fanciful use of the word "bouncing" is his terrorist threat against the school bus was always interesting to me.

I think Zodiac had a rich fantasy life with an anger and hatred towards people. I can imagine him having to wait behind a bus unloading kids and the thoughts he had. He probably thought they were...

I can think of two possibilities - either country-boy Zodiac got a little screwed up in the big city, or he wrote the letter in advance of the Presidio Heights shooting, having originally planned to...

Sorry to go off subject, but were there "fire trucks" around there too, as mentioned in his letter?
View ArticleRe: theory
Tahoe I seem to remember, possibly from the hacked board, that the fire trucks were at the scene to provide lights for the search. Hopefully someone else can confirm this.

Inspector Kracke summoned a fire department "spotlight" vehicle to assist in the search. Pg. 1 of the police report.

October 31st, 1969 - Vallejo Times-Herald "Parents are urged to keep Kiddies in". Poor choice of words considering the Stine letter was just a couple of weeks prior. To use Zodiac's...

Martin Lee held a press conference a day or two the letter arrived and read it for the cameras. It was on the news immediately.

The quote "...pick off the kiddies as they come bouncing out" appeared on the front page of the Napa Register on Fri Oct 17, 1969.

Thanks guys! For some reason I thought they held off for a while mentioning the threat to children.

At risk of getting my very own screwbie: that bomb diagram could be the outline of an area on a map *whistles in the dark*, not a real bomb diagram at all. Gun, Rope, Knife, Bomb....clue? also: I dont...

There was once a suggestion that the 'bomb diagram' was actually the schematics for a sewing machine. One of the more unusual theories, to be true, but not a bad one - I wouldn't put a prank like that...
