Correction: One of the mailings that Zodiac sent while Thoresen was alive contained six stamps. But was sent to an attorney, Melvin Belli, who Thoresen hired a few years earlier to fight bombing charges.

The two-stamps MO was an identifier he used when mailing the media. The final mailing (two stamps and editor notation intact) sent while Thoresen was alive is postmarked April 28, 1970.

He died on June 10, 1970.

The first mailing after his death arrived on June 24, 1970, with one stamp and sans editor notation. Numerous others followed that contain only one stamp and no editor notation, including the so-called "Halloween Card."

A significant portion of Zodiac's Bus Bomb letter was about bomb making. Not mentioned in this video is that William Thoresen was presumed to have murdered three and was a suspect (by the FBI and Chicago police) in two additional murders. After federal agents raided Thoresen's SF mansion and storage lockers in 1967, they confiscated more than 70 tons of weapons from them. Thoresen had flecks of red in his hair. The Stein murder witnesses reported Zodiac had "red in his hair." After Thoresen died there were no more Zodiac phone calls, sightings, or letters that contained evidence of the crimes. Police deemed the letters that lacked evidence or did not fit Zodiac's MO as genuine, implying a cover-up.
