Jacob asked; "Anyone know why, or suspect why, it hasn't been released?"

A.K. Wilks communicated with the SFPD about it and the upshot of it all was that
it appears the SFPD did not maintain an audit trail for this mail item and it is now
unknown if it is held by some other agency, or is in fact lost.

No.

I saw the Monticello card back in 1998 at the Hall of Justice in SF. There was nothing to indicate it was from Zodiac.

I will give you something to consider Tom, that may change your mind. When the Zodiac Killer mailed the Dripping Pen card, it was correctly surmised that the extra two victims Zodiac was claiming in "Aug" were Kathy Snoozy and Debra Furlong. This bumped his victim total from 5 to 7.

Now fast forward to the July 13th 1971 Monticello card, adorned with cryptic pasted clues, akin to the Pines card. It has been believed for many years that the Pines card was a clue to the burial location of Donna Lass. The following Monticello card stated "Near Monticello Shought Victims 21 ...... In The Woods Dies April".

Kathy Bilek (another victim of Karl Werner, along with Snoozy & Furlong) was the subject of the Monticello card. She was murdered in the woods, in April, and near Monticello. The author of the Monticello card chose the phrase "near Monticello" because it was a clue, not only to the identity of Kathy Bilek (featured in the Monticello card), but because her namesake, Kathy Snoozy, was buried in the Monticello neighbourhood of San Jose. She was buried in the Oak Hill Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Monticello. The Zodiac Killer was effectively tying the Dripping Pen card claim of the Snoozy & Furlong murders with the Monticello card of Kathy Bilek.

The Zodiac Killer irked by press coverage claiming that Karl Francis Werner was being attributed with two previous murders he had insinuated his involvement in on November 8th 1969, fired of the July 13th 1971 Monticello card, effectively attempting to reclaim his stake in all three murders. This is why, about the same time, the Zodiac Killer mailed another communication in 1971, telling the investigators who were holding Werner to "stop listening to phonys". It arrived shortly after the arrest of Karl Francis Werner was reported in the newspapers by Paul Avery. The article was entitled 'San Jose Student Held in Slaying of Three Girls'.

The Monticello card was giving us the clue of "Kathy", but more importantly, it was giving us "Monticello", where Kathy Snoozy had been buried in San Jose.
