“I hope you enjoy trying to catch me,” the killer wrote in a coded message sent to the newspaper in 1969. “I am not afraid of the gas chamber because it will send me all to heaven. Early because now there are enough slaves to work for me. “
The letter was a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols and has been studied over the years by numerous authors, criminologists and detectives. It still does not reveal the name of the unknown killer that emerged in Northern California in the 1960s and 1970s.
