Starliper split his work into two sessions of 6 hours and 3 hours. He said he was able to figure out the non-patterned series that by finding “similarities in the numerical sequence.” “And I was able to keep going from there.” For the first few lines, the pattern remained constant, but it changed beyond that. “What are the next two going to be? right? I figure, what’s the first word he’s going to throw in there? Kill,” said Starliper. He found the first two letters to be “K” and “I”. After everything symbolic had been interpreted alphabetically, he started applying reverse Caesar shifts. “I first went in there and I did that,” he said. For example, a ^ or < symbol could be interpreted as inverted or sideways “V”s. To combat this problem, Starliper extracted symbols and changed them to letters they could correspond with. This doesn’t mean the 340 is such an easy task to decode, considering the fact that the original 340 cipher is full of symbols: >, +, and ▲ being just a few of the signs found in the code. So I figured, why not start this with Caesar code using 3,4.”Ĭaesar code is a substitution type cipher where an encoder has “simply replaced each letter in a message with the letter that is three places further down the alphabet,” according to. 707.707 are the area codes for Vallejo, Napa, and Solano. that Zodiac is going to be prosaic enough not to mention the U.S. “So that’s what I started with,” said Starliper. It was then that he found out that 340 is the area code for a portion of the U.S Virgin Islands - not an insignificant connection. Starliper believed that the “340” of the 340 cipher was significant, and had some tie-in with the U.S. Starliper said that after becoming interested in the code, he abandoned it for some time, but after that, an idea for breaking the code came to him almost by “accident.”Īccording to Robert Graysmith, in “Zodiac”, tips received by police after Darlene Ferrin’s murder indicated that the killing was connected to the U.S Virgin Islands. ![]()
