Scorpion letters/ciphers sent to John Walsh

From http://ciphermysteries.com/other-ciphers/scorpion-ciphers

From 1991 onwards, John Walsh (the well-known host of “America’s Most Wanted”) received a string of letters and cryptograms signed “SCORPION”: these are more usually known as “The Scorpion Ciphers”. However, only two of the ciphertexts and a few pages of text have so far been made public.

The first Scorpion Cipher is known as “S1”, and is laid out in a 10×7 grid: 53 of its 70 symbols are unique.



The fifth Scorpion Cipher is known as “S5”, and is laid out in a 12×15 grid: 155 of its 180 symbols are unique.




trying to find the rest of the ciphers and the letters.

I don't know if the scorpion ciphers have been solved but according to one website they have been partially and here is what they say


The Scorpion text released so far is:

“
I am your worst nightmare coming true. My true identity is not known to you yet, and hopefully will not be for a long time, Your show is more exciting, interesting and factual than any shitfulled movie or series. I have recently moved into New Jersey and began a new crime spree. I am currently responsible for 23 unsolved crimes ranging from Arson to Burgulary to sabotage homicide and occasionally everything in between. I strongly advise that you keep this letter and start a rather large file, since you will be hearing from me again. I have enclosed a rather difficultly encoded message containing information that will prove rather useful to you. This code took a lot of time and effort to develop, in hopes that it will defeat FBI and CIA codebreakers. Anything you wish to tell me or ask me can conveyed to me on your show.

intricate and difficult to recopy onto these cards. My style of handwriting on these cards is verry much altered, and controlled in order to throw off graphologists, I would much rather communicate with you with letters sent between us but you and your over anxious associates would try to nail me even if I used a P.O. Box for a return address. This would create a rather messy situation since I do not plan to be taken alive if at all, and I truly believe in the use of superior firepower. This creates a problem for our communication since the only way I can communicate with you is by letter and possibly phone and your only safe medium in both of our best interests is your informative and helpful show. Consider this your second and definately last chance, since I will soon start collecting bodies for you, to prove that this is not a prank. Hopefully for you no one will expose themselves to me as an easy target for my ever growing anger before I get a chance to hear from you. I now realise with many hundeds of hours of

mindracking experimentation with my complex ciphers that my first one that I sent you was comparatively simple to my second, third, fourth, and now temporarily final cryptograph system. I have been encoding useful information for your use and have done it fairly, since all of my ciphers can be decoded simply, once the limited patterns and systems are discovered. I have enclosed another cipher for you to deal with. See you in hell amigo!

This is news to me. So from what I understand there were 5 letters each containing a cipher but not all of them were made public?

The "see you in hell amigo" signature sounds familiar. Didn't JonBenet Ramsey's letter say something like that?

possibly I really have no idea

hold on I will goggle it

nope. I think I read that on some sort of letter or note though not long ago. I just cant remember what it was

wait. I think Ed Edwards called someone amigo in a letter or something. let me browse the Cameron site on Edwards and see if I can find it

cant find it but im pretty sure it is on that site

I remember which letter it was now, I will find it and post it.

this was a letter Edwards sent to a guy named neal I think in 2010. he calls neal 'amigo' twice.

^handwriting doesn't seem to match the z letters

Wow, good catch Mickey!!

More where that came from bud.

do you know how many "Scorpion letters" were sent to John Walsh? and do you happen to have photos? I think what has been posted so far is just a small sample.

The way I understood it is that there were four or five letters sent to Walsh and I think two ciphers. I don't recall though for sure. I think what you posted earlier in the thread is what was released to the public while the other letters and cipher(s) were hidden from the public. I assume that the letters that were not released had sensitive subject matter.
