The article showed a postcard postmarked October 5, 1970, which had been mailed to the San Francisco Chronicle.

This communication to Edwards C. Adams mimicked the postcard shown in the article.


For example, the date of this particular article "Mon., Oct. 12, 1970" was cut out and pasted on this communication to Edward C. Adams.

There is a brief FBI report about this communication.


FBI report dated November 4, 1970

FBI report dated October 29, 1970


According to the FBI report, Edward C. Adams had a suspicion that the card could have been sent by a former patient who lived in Berkeley circa 1970.
The name of the former patient is redacted from the FBI report.


Presumably, the former patient was investigated by law enforcement.


It is still an unsolved mystery who sent this communication.

Another person of interest in the Zodiac case may have a connection to this message in which the date "Mon., Oct. 12, 1970" had been cut and pasted from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Mon., Oct. 12, 1970


In the San Francisco Chronicle on October 12, 1970, there was a brief article on page 35 about an event which occurred the day before.


On October 11, 1970, there was a ceremony at Round Top Peak in which Gudde Ridge was named in honor of Erwin G. Gudde who was born on February 23, 1889, and died on May 6, 1969.


http://oaklandgeology.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/gudde-ridge/


Gudde Ridge is at Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve (southeast of Tilden Regional Park).

Gudde Ridge has a view of Eichenloh, the house in which Erwin G. Gudde had lived in the hills of Orinda, not far from the home of Edward C. Adams.


Erwin G. Gudde was the author of "California Place Names: The Origin and Etymology of Current Geographical Names".

In this book, Erwin G. Gudde explained the origin of the name for Paradise.

Erwin G. Gudde was a German professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

Gareth Penn attended the University of California, Berkeley from 1968 to 1972.


Erwin G. Gudde was specifically mentioned in a message from Gareth Penn dated May 24, 2010.


http://d550.blogspot.com


Gareth Penn wrote: "Speaking of my undergraduate years at Berkeley, at that time, there was a professor in my department named Erwin Gudde. Professor Gudde was a linguistics scholar who had devoted years of study to California Indian languages. This led him to compile a list of place names derived from those languages, and, since he was a German, a Teutonic compulsion to thoroughness drove him to expand his list into a dictionary of all California place names; that dictionary is now the standard work on the subject. In the entry on the town of Paradise (Butte County), Gudde notes that a railroad map published in 1900 misspells the place name as "Paradice." The Zodiac murderer misspells the word the same way in four documents; Gudde and I were in the same department, so it is amazing that none of those who comment on my criminal activities has ever brought up this stunning piece of circumstantial evidence. I never took a course from Gudde, and I donīt even know what he looked like, but he must have been influential; the results speak for themselves."
