And when I saw his presentation, I thought there were probably a couple of things I could suggest, to see if he'd tried before."īlake's suggestions snowballed into him and Oranchak formally working together, along with Belgian programmer Jarl Van Eycke, to solve the cipher, which is organized as a grid of 63 unique, mysterious symbols. "I really liked his approach, it was very analytical. " put together some really good videos where he did a deep dive into the analysis of the 408 cipher, then he did a couple of talks at the American Cryptogram Association on the unsolved 340 cipher," Blake said. One of the ciphers, called the 408 cipher, was solved in 1969 by a schoolteacher and his wife, but it did not reveal the killer's identity the additional three puzzles remained unsolved for over 51 years, despite advances in computer technology. The series was dedicated to solving the codes the Northern California serial killer sent in letters to newspapers in the late 1960s and early 1970s. His interest marginally increased in 2007 after the release of David Fincher's "Zodiac," but it wasn't until last year that it completely was cemented while watching code-breaking expert David Oranchak's "Let's Crack Zodiac" YouTube series. Sam Blake, an Australian mathematician, first learned of the Zodiac Killer's unsolved ciphers - a series of encrypted messages - from a documentary in the 1990s.
