My Name is....Jack the Ripper
**There is no doubt in my mind that Zodiac was influenced by Jack the Ripper...or at least the letter writer.**
My name is: Jack the Ripper (13 symbols) - 1888 (three circled 8's)

Also in this letter below (whether really from Jack or not)...the writer states "don't mind me giving the trade name". Basically telling us he is picking "his name". Reminds me of Zodiac not being fond of "Cipher Slayer".
And of course Zodiac uses "NAM" at the end of his "My name is" cipher - see above.
Also, "Yours truly". (Received Sept 27, 1888) - "yours truly and Sept 27"

The attack at Lake Berryessa--so vicious. I can't help but think of JTR, especially having read the above letter, dated Sept. 27th. And of course "by knife"
