Seagull--

Thank you!!! :D I always appreciate the help and the time and effort it takes to do so.Time can be so valuable these days...


up2something--

Thanks for your comparison of the differences between the 2 letters.......I will definitely be reviewing your comments....so I can make sense of the 2 letters and differences. Very helpful information.

edit
The blurred one is so hard to see....I do not know how you saw the differences. I cannot make them out.

One other difference I spot is that some of the last words on a particular line, are not both the same in both. For example, in one version, in the line "asked her for a date", the word 'her' appears as the last word on a line, and in the other version, 'for' is the last word on the line

I think that's a result of the single spacing vs. double spacing between sentences, which shifted things around a bit.

Trav... I wish you could work your "magic" to help determine the whole victim/victom thing. For me, that would be a big bonus on whether or not Z was the author (though I already tend to think he was).

Unfortunately it would take magic.

The info just isn't there in the image to make it much clearer. I've tried already and it really didn't help. That's how restrictive the image resolution is.

Not that if we ever see the envelope, it will reveal something earth shattering, but rather that somehow, this was overlooked all these years by everybody. Thanks for always looking with fresh eyes Seagull. This proves that it always pays to go back and review this case with fresh eyes.

It would be huge, I'd say.

Twitch/twich isn't compelling, nor is shall. They're interesting similarities - but not compelling, IMO.

Victom, however, would be compelling - and more than that, even.

I must confess........if I did not have spell checker on my phone I would be spelling "victim" as "victom" It is just a fact about myself. ;)

TBH it could be anything but my feeling is that it's something other than 'victim'. Despite the distortion and lack of resolution there's a possibility that even what's there might be suggesting a thinner character other than an 'I'. I've tried to match up the sizing as best I can with what is just about visible in terms of identifiable characters.

Tough to make out, but thanks for trying. I know what I WANT to see... that's part of the problem.
