Let's talk about Jon Benet Ramsey and April Tinsley.
Does anyone think it is possible that either of these murders could be connected to the Zodiac killer?

Let's talk about Jon Benet Ramsey and April Tinsley. Does anyone think it is possible that either of these murders could be connected to the Zodiac killer? Yes I do ,I have been reading about the April Tinsley case and noticed how much the notes that the suspect wrote were like that of the Zodiac's. They had the cursive d's , check mark r's, 3 stroke k's, crossing out of words , odd spacing of letters, misspellings and the wording was very much the same. Like Zodiac his left margins were straight. And like Zodiac he commanded his letters be put in the newspapers. Now some of you will say: But Zodiac was not a rapist. As far as we know he wasn't, April , Jon Benet or Cheri Jo Bates were not raped per-say. April Tinsley from what I have read was molested with an object as was Jon Benet, both had semen "on" their bodies. Cheri Jo was not molested ,like all other "known" Z victims. Zodiac did threaten to kill children and did say he would change his way of collecting slaves for his after life, that he would no longer announce to anyone who , when or where he would kill. If the man who Darlene said was back from out of state, was the same person who killed her, then Zodiac did travel out of state. At Lake Berryessa he told his victims he had just come back from Colorado. If that was true, he also traveled and we know that killer was Zodiac. April Tinsley was taken on "April Fool's" day 1988, that day was also Good Friday, Easter was that Sunday April 3rd. Her body was found on the 4th, so she may have been killed on Easter? Jon Benet was killed on Christmas night, there was a 3 page printed note left on the stair case. The killer's note was for a ransom of $118,000. Yet she was murdered before the Ramsey's could even read the note. The latest Life Mag. has an article about her murder, it is too bad that they did not show the 3 page note, so that people who have never seen it , might notice it as printing of someone they know. Cheri Jo was killed on the eve of Halloween 1966, that killer also wanted attention from the media, something we know was probably more important to the Zodiac than the kill itself. There was a witness to April's abduction and a composite was drawn. He was thought to be in his 30's. If the witness was from a young child, 30 is old. The notes other than what was written on the barn door, were done on yellow lined paper. Tom Voigt whom I know and is my friend, showed me a note he received yrs ago (Maybe 10 yrs ago ? )it was written on yellow lined paper in Zodiac like printing. I think it came from Singapore ? ( We called him the Singapore Slinger )This person was claiming to be thee Zodiac and had put some items inside a "plastic bag", so Tom could get the DNA checked to prove he was in fact Zodiac. Most of the Yellow notes written by April Tinsley's killer, were put in "plastic bags". Coincidence, sure it could be , but something that should not be swept under the rug. To me there were a lot of things that were every much the same in all three of these cases and should be looked at with fresh eyes.

Very good analysis!
You mentioned the misspelled words. I am still trying to understand them!
I can see that the handwriting from the April Tinsley case resembles the handwriting by the Zodiac killer. However, in my opinion, the handwriting from the JonBenet Ramsey case looks different. What do you think?
Yes, I agree that the newspaper reference makes the note very much like the Zodiac killer.
We don't know whether or not the Zodiac killer ever raped anyone. We only know that the confirmed victims were not raped.
There were a couple of letters which may or may not have been written by the Zodiac killer which were mailed outside of California.
Very interesting that her name was “April” and the crime happened on April 1. Do you remember “in the woods dies April”?
Other victims were murdered on or near holidays, too.
Do you think the Zodiac killer would have mailed any items with his own DNA? I don’t think he would take that risk. Years ago, yes. Nowadays, no.

Ricardo you are right, there are some letter's in the Ramsey note that seem different from Zodiac's known writings. Like the umbrella "a" . I need to find where I saw a possible Z note that had that same "a". If he did in fact do this crime and wrote the note, I think he was too clever to want LE to recognize his handwriting and start looking for him again. He is staying just under the radar I think . Yet he gets front page news without his Zodiac name being used. In his sick mind he is still getting the attention he craves. You and I have thought about the idea that Zodiac copy's other people's writing. He knows Kane was a Zodiac suspect and there are examples of his writing on the internet, Kane used the umbrella a. One of the calls I received from my suspect, he said he was my uncle Larry, (I don't have an uncle Larry). On my garbage can someone scratched a K and the name Bob on top. So for Zodiac to pretend to be Larry Kane or Art Allen for that matter, is not that hard to believe. The Ramsey note showed that the perp. had a shaky hand, my poi gets very shaky at times, like when he sat next to my work station in 1990. It took some doing for him to work his way down the bar over days, to get right next to me. Seems silly I know, for someone so brazen to be afraid to be next to little ol me. Remember he is a coward at heart, he only has courage when he has a weapon in his hand is what I think ? Sort of like when I have my gun on me, I am not afraid of anything then. Did zodiac fear women and that is why he hates them so much ?

Are you thinking about the unconfirmed Draftboard letter with the umbrella “a”?
What do you think was the reason that the writer of the Ramsey note had a shaky hand?
Was the writer trembling with excitement?
Or was it done on purpose to disguise the handprinting?

Thank goodness for DNA!!!!! Zodiac has to be very worried right now.
My honcho suspect has high tailed it to southern Calif. I was told this by someone who knew him. Coincidence perhaps, but I think he wants to be close to the border.
