Zodiac Killer Letters July 31, 1969 – Comparison

We find it interesting that the Zodiac Killer took the effort writing three similar letters instead of carbon-copying just one. Furthermore, he did not transcribe the letters exactly. They include some noteworthy variations and inconsistencies. For direct comparison, we listed the three letter texts next to each other.
