Why does the letterwriter start with "SOooooooooo""?

No idea

I don't know what the alibi was. Even if he did not kill heri, he still could have been the letter writer in her case,and also been Zodiac

I don't ways trust alibi's. People can lie & get other's to lie for them.

"Soooooooooo" sounds or looks like the way Zodiac ended his phone call at BRS "Goodbyeeeeee", the way nancy used to say it.

Doubtful they have anything to do with one another.

A woman typed that letter, we know who she is, and where it came from

Also possible that Ross could have written letters in the Bates case, but not killed Cheri, then went on to become Zodiac. Tom V, pointed out he had a alibi, and even if it's true, that alibi for Cheri does not rule him out as being Z. If you believe Sherwood, then we know Z wrote the letters and desktop in Cheri's case. We do not know if he killed Cheri.

1) We have don't know for sure if this guy was really investigated by the police and if he really did have an alibi. Doubt the Riverside police released this kind of information. Probably just a rumor.

2) One interesting theory floated around;
The reason great care was taken to hide the brand of typewriter used to type the "confession letter" was that the typewriter could be linked to the RCC library. Or at very least, the school.

Why did the writer go to such lengths to conceal the model and individual typewriter? If this was written by a crank across town, he would never be suspected. His typewriter was perfectly safe. In such an instance, what did it matter if the police could prove the typewriter upon which the gross confession was written was a Royal or a Remington? The writer would only go to such lengths if he was a person the police would naturally suspect and possibly issue a search warrant against to examine his house or apartment and therein uncover the typewriter. Or this was a typewriter in the public domain— in other words at the campus. In this case, a search and testing of typewriters could reveal a limited number of people who could have had use of it after hours. Either this would be a secretary’s typewriter or typewriters associated with some classroom. After hours use would suggest a staff member, a limited number of students and, very possibly, a janitor/groundsman. If The Zodiac is responsible for both The Confession and poison notes, he worked at the college. Whoever is responsible for The Confession probably worked at the college.

I guess her working for the YMCA would explain Ross' connection to the YMCA.
