Killer’s Message – level 1

18-12-2020 15:00

A killer kills people in California, US, in the 1960s and 1970s. Police do not know who the killer is. The killer sends messages to journalists.

He writes about the murders. He says that he kills 37 people. Police confirm only five people. The killer sends four secret messages. Letters and pictures are in the messages. Police do not understand the messages. Experts try to read them. They solve only one secret message.

Last week, an Australian mathematician and two other men solve a second message. There is not much information about the killer. Police hope that they will know the killer’s name one day.

Difficult words: murder (when somebody kills somebody else), confirm (to say and know that something is true), secret (when somebody does not want other people to know or understand something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
