Zodiac's repeated text
Did the Zodiac killer use words and phrases that were unique to his style of writing? Below are the results of an experiment showing how bits of text match up within all the letters.
First, the killer's correspondences are translated into a stream of all capital letters, with all spaces, numbers, and punctuation removed. Then an algorithm looks for chunks of text that repeat more than once in all the correspondences.
Below are the results, showing the longest matches first.
