The San Jose Cryptogram ------------------------------- [with acknowledgement to Richard Grinell]
On November 21st 1969,a letter was received at the Butte FBI Office,Montana.
It was immediately passed on to the California State Department of Justice,in Sacramento,California.
The letter was presumed to be from the Zodiac Killer,and has yet to made public,in its entirety.However,we are aware that the message contained,within the letter,was addressed to a widowed woman,residing in San Jose,California.
The Ca.DOJ then passed the relevant information to the FBI headquarters,in Washington D.C.
Some of the contents of that letter are,as follows :
1] The ''Zodiac'' had signed off his message,to the widow,with : ''There's no doubt I will do my Thing !''.He left his customary cross hairs symbol.
2] A date had been included,which read : ''November = 8''.
3] A cryptogram was included,which appeared as : '' - + 6 2 + - ''.

Initial observations :
1] The content of the available part of the message,''There's no doubt I will do my Thing !'',shows familiarity with the Dripping Pen Card of November 8th 1969,sent just two weeks prior :
''.....I get awfully lonely when I am ignored,so lonely I could do my Thing !!!!! ''.
2] ''November = 8''.The same Dripping Pen Card of November 8th 1969,Zodiac had added a postscript,which read :
Deg July Aug Sept Oct = 7
So,it appears that ''November = 8'' is an indication of ''body count'' claimed by Zodiac.
Of Zodiac has claimed a total of 7 victims,by November 8th 1969....then,by November 21st 1969,it would not be surprising that he was claiming a further murdered victim,thirteen days later.
3] The cryptogram : '' - + 6 2 + - ''.
Well,a very short cryptogram of only six characters.And,little to go on,since the bulk of Zodiac's message to the widow,remains redacted.
However,the possibility emerges :
Of we adopt the simplest of Code Keys,with A=1,B=2,C=3 etc.
Then,we might interpret '' - + 6 2 + - '',as '' - + F B + - ''.
And,write them out,on dual form,thus :
'' - + 6 2 + - '' = '' - + F B + - ''
It appears that ''FB'' might be part of ''FBI''.Therefore,we proffer further,by substitution :
'' - 9 6 2 9 - '' = '' - I F B I - ''
Time to take stock of possible six digit numbers,of familiarity [?].There are none.
What of five digit numbers,then,as in P.O.Box numbers and Zip Codes [?].
Therefore,a good candidate for the substitution of ''-'',would be ''0'' [zero].
Hence :
'' 0 9 6 2 9 0 '' = '' 0 I F B I 0 ''

So,what of the number 096290 ?
i] Army Post Office 096290 is a Zip Code in San Francisco.
Army Post Offices are not just for the use of the military.The general public are free to use them,and often do.Particularly,when requiring overseas services.
ii] P.O.Box 096290 is a collection warehouse in Houston,Texas.
What of the possible solution to the cryptogram : '' 0 I F B I 0 '' ?
Well,too much of Zodiac's message is redacted,to give us a definitive answer.
But,it is possible that Zodiac had hinted at an interpretation,such as 0-1,FBI-0,with the first zero indicating the cross hairs symbol.
Perhaps it is the case that Zodiac was simply expressing a teasing scorecard [?].
At the time,in late November 1969,the FBI had been assigned jurisdiction on field investigations,pertaining to the Zodiac case,for just 4 months.
A thrill for Zodiac,perhaps [?].
So,a solution to the cryptogram of something equivalent to ''Zodiac - one,FBI - nil'',is certainly possible.

Thoughts on the San Jose redacted message :
We are aware that :
a] A widow is referred,and therefore a likelihood of Zodiac ''pouring scorn'',in his cruel and sadistic manner,that was to become one of his features.Following information passed on to the San Jose Police Department,we are aware that a local widowed female resident,was checked on,for her well being.
b] Zodiac ended the message with ''There's no doubt I will do my Thing !'',followed by his customary cross hairs symbol.
Given that A.P.O. 096290 is a San Francisco Zip Code,and that P.O.Box 096290 is a collection point in Houston,it does suggest credulity to '' 0 I F B I 0 ''.
We could look at this conundrum,in reverse [?].If the solutions offered by the cryptogram are credible,what then is hidden in the redacted message,that makes them so [?].
One observation is that,if '' 0 I F B I 0 '' were to be ''Zodiac-1,FBI-0'',then the two ''zeros'' would require specified nomination,from Zodiac,within the hidden part of the message.
Another description of the ''zero'' symbol is......''The egg''.
In November 1967,The Beatles released a collection of songs,written for the film,''Magical Mystery Tour''.
Included,in the collection,was the psychedelic masterpiece,''I am the Walrus''.A John Lennon song,inspired by Lewis Carroll's ''Alice in Wonderland''.
The song's lyrics made numerous derogatory references to the police.Its chorus was as follows :
I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob
------------------
Is it possible,that Zodiac included : '' I am the egg man,they are the egg men'' ?
If so,then Zodiac could have expressed that,the first ''egg'' of '' 0 I F B I 0 '' was Zodiac's.
And,that the second ''egg'' of '' 0 I F B I 0 '',was the FBI's.
Hence :
Egg man - 1 , The Egg Men - 0
Zodiac - 1 , The FBI - 0
Victory to Zodiac......Goo goo g'joob .

In The Beatles song ''Glass Onion'',released one year following ''I am the Walrus'' [1967],John Lennon provided the solution to the identity of ''The Walrus'' :
''Here's another clue for you all,The Walrus was Paul''.
Hence,we assume that Lennon was referring to his collaborator,Paul McCartney.
But : Who was The Egg man ? And,who were The Egg men ?
If '' 0 I F B I 0 '' is the solution to The San Jose Cryptogram,then,and as a consequence,Zip Code 096290 in San Francisco,and P.O.Box 096290 in Houston,also take on further significance.
Were Zip Code 096290 and P.O.Box 096290 used by Zodiac ? Does Zodiac have associations with both San Francisco and Houston ?
Perhaps of possible significance,also,is another moniker for Zodiac.
We are aware,already,of the ''Red Phantom'' and the ''Imperial Wizard''.
Was Zodiac inspired,to call the FBI,''The Egg men'' ?
And himself,''The Egg man'' [?].

Pretty little Policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run

Don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
