Source is here. PROOF: OCTOBER 15TH 1969 SANTA ROSA CALLER WAS THE ZODIAC KILLER
1969
October 13th - Zodiac postmarked letter threatens kids. It contains a bloody shirt piece.
This is the Zodiac speaking.
I am the murderer of the taxi driver over by Washington St & Maple St last night, to prove this here is a blood stained piece of his shirt. I am the same man who did in the people in the north bay area.
The S.F. Police could have caught me last night if they had searched the park properly instead of holding road races with their motorcicles seeing who could make the most noise. The car drivers should have just parked their cars and sat there quietly waiting for me to come out of cover.
School children make nice targets, I think I shall wipe out a school bus some morning. Just shoot out the front tire & then pick off the kiddies as they come bouncing out.
October 14th/15th (latest), Fred Sowash of Santa Rosa is made aware of a threat to school kids because of threats made by phone call to SRPD.
October 15th, SF Chronicle publishes a partial of the Oct 13th letter with the threats to school children redacted.
Next page here.
October 21st, Paul Avery through the SF Chronicle reveals
the Zodiac threatened kids on school buses.
(News-clipping done by Tahoe27).
So the Santa Rosa phone caller had inside knowledge and at a very early date.
It seems also clear that officials were buying time and setting up security for school bus trips between the 13th and the 21st.
We know there was a media blackout operated between SFPD and the media on some Zodiac communications. The bus bomb letter was postmarked 10th of November. Bill Armstrong talks about the media blackout in this KPIX News report:
Why is the threat to San Francisco insufficient? Santa Rosa is small potatoes compared to San Francisco, yet he wants a smaller city included. Why not Richmond? Berkeley? Oakland? San Jose? Why does he need to go all the way to Santa Rosa (and bypass San Rafael) for example?
Deductions:

Deductions:
- Either the caller suspected or had inside knowledge that his 13th October communication was not expanding outside of San Francisco to other school districts. That was not good enough for his terrorist tactics.
- The caller wanted Santa Rosa specifically to be included in his terrorist tactics. We don't know about any calls to any other smaller cities.
- Why not just mention it in the October 13th letter? That's the problem he was faced with. He wants to include Santa Rosa in his threats that San Francisco will receive but he doesn't want to explicitly state so. Instead he phones it into SRPD. Why not just write that? What's wrong with writing down Santa Rosa? He has no problem naming places in his other communications outside of San Francisco such as Vallejo. He even has no problem indicating Riverside in a letter communication. He wrote on the car door at Lake Berryessa. Yet he won't write about Santa Rosa.
