December 14, 1989: The Nurse with Deadly Intent
On December 14, 1989, Richard Angelo, a nurse, was found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder. Angelo had abused his medical knowledge and access to lethal drugs to commit these heinous crimes. He used a syringe and needle to inject pancuronium, a powerful muscle relaxant typically used in anesthesia and euthanasia, into his victims. This drug paralyzed them, leading to their deaths. The case shocked the medical community and the public, highlighting the terrifying potential for abuse of medical power.
December 14, 1999: The Foiled Millennium Plot
Ten years later, on December 14, 1999, Ahmed Ressam, a 32-year-old Algerian national, was arrested while trying to enter the United States at Port Angeles, Washington. Ressam’s nervous behavior drew the attention of border guards, who decided to inspect his vehicle. Hidden in the trunk of his rental car were materials intended for a powerful explosive device. This discovery raised alarms across the country, leading to the cancellation of Seattle’s New Year’s Eve celebration at the park beneath the Space Needle. The decision was made amid fears of potential terrorist attacks, reflecting the heightened tension and security concerns as the year 2000 approached.
Clive and Lally’s Deep Dive: Connecting the Dots Through History
Clive and Lally, renowned for their meticulous and unconventional investigative methods, embarked on a quest to connect seemingly unrelated events through hidden clues and patterns. Their investigation revealed a tapestry of connections, weaving together high-profile crimes, cryptic messages, and historical events.
- Zodiac Killer’s Enigmatic Cipher:
- Clive and Lally started their investigation with the infamous Zodiac Killer, whose cipher contained 17 columns and 20 rows. They speculated that these numbers might allude to significant dates. For example, the arrangement 17/20 could correspond to February 17 (17/2) or December 7 (12/7), both dates with historical importance. December 7, 1941, marks the attack on Pearl Harbor, a pivotal event in World War II.
- The cipher also included the clue “Willo” and references to “Mikado,” pointing to Japanese cultural and royal elements. They drew a connection to Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands, which had a soft opening on February 17, featuring a distinctive ship-like structure on its roof. This, in turn, linked to the symbolism of nautical and historical significance in the cipher.
- Maritime Mysteries and Symbolic Dates:
- On August 21, 2017, the USS John McCain was involved in a mysterious accident in the waters off Singapore. Notably, in European notation, 2017 could be read as 12/7, the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Interestingly, August 21 also marks the date in 1959 when Hawaii, home to the historic Pearl Harbor, became the 50th state of the United States.
- Clive and Lally noted that significant events seemed to cluster around dates related to Pearl Harbor, suggesting a pattern. These connections, they believed, were intentional, with the Zodiac Killer’s cryptic messages hinting at such alignments.
- Richard Speck’s Brutal Legacy:
- Richard Speck, infamous for the massacre of nursing students in Chicago, was born on December 6 and died on December 5, a day before the “Yogurt Shop Murders” in Austin, Texas. Clive and Lally hypothesized that the timing of Speck’s death was deliberately chosen to align with other criminal events.
- They believed that the Zodiac Killer might have referenced Speck’s name in one of his ciphers, drawing a chilling connection between Speck’s crimes and the Zodiac’s cryptic messages. The investigators speculated that these connections were part of a larger, coordinated narrative involving high-profile murders.
- The Jason Bourne Trilogy: A Cryptic Connection:
- Clive and Lally delved into the Jason Bourne series, particularly intrigued by the character David Webb, also known as Jason Bourne. They suggested that the trilogy was crafted to link with the Zodiac Killer, with Bourne’s character and the name David Webb serving as symbolic references.
- Bourne’s Zurich account number, 717-12-14-26, caught their attention. They noticed a pattern in significant international incidents related to this number. For instance, needles were found in sandwiches on a Delta flight from Amsterdam to Seattle on July 17, 2012 (7/17), and Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down on July 17, 2014 (7/17). Both incidents involved Amsterdam and significant dates.
- They noted that MH17, carrying many Australians, linked back to the Australian strawberry needle scare and the murder of Lilia Valutyte near an embroidery shop, further connecting the dots. On the day Lilia was killed, a vietnamese man responsible Strawberry needle scare was arrested.
- Potential Mass Killing Plot and Symbolic Targets:
- Clive and Lally suggested that the Space Needle in Seattle was a target for mass killing. They found several references to sewing machines, needles, the sun, and hills in the Zodiac Killer’s ciphers, which hinted at the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco. The building’s needle-like structure and construction timeline paralleled the Zodiac’s hints, suggesting it as a potential site for a major attack.
- The investigators believed that the Zodiac’s clues were designed to warn about threats to iconic structures, with the Transamerica Pyramid being a key focus. The symbolism of needles and pyramids underscored the potential danger to these landmarks.
- Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) Theory:
- Initially, Clive and Lally suspected that a WMD might be hidden in the Vatican’s Della Pigna, a monumental pine cone sculpture with deep historical and religious significance. However, further investigation led them to conclude that the Transamerica Pyramid was the more likely target for such a device.
- They theorized that various criminal events and cryptic messages were part of a grander scheme, with law enforcement already aware of the potential threat. The investigators hoped that their findings would help prevent any future tragedies and ensure public safety.
Clive and Lally’s investigation intricately weaves together a complex web of crimes, cryptic messages, and symbolic events. Their meticulous analysis uncovers connections that span decades and continents, highlighting the need for vigilance and proactive measures to thwart potential threats. Their work serves as a testament to the importance of uncovering hidden clues and patterns to protect public safety and unravel the mysteries of high-profile criminal cases.
