Handwriting Samples of Bruce Davis

Bruce Davis has used several different handwriting styles. For some examples the following are given. In correspondence from prison over a three year period to a person named Chris, here is how he hand-wrote that name (in comparative sizes) on the envelopes:

12.30.91

Note that none of the "i"s in "Chris" are dotted as is found in some of Zodiac's "i"s.

Now compare the "R"s from the following Zodiac envelopes:

Compare those to the following . . .

1966 "Confession" envelope

1967 Joseph Bates envelope

06.16.89 envelope from Davis

. . . and the "R"s from the above "Chris"s:

Here is some more lettering from the addresses (again in comparative sizes) on those same envelopes from Bruce Davis:

07.11.89

07.17.89

01.11.90

12.30.91

Here are some examples of how Davis can write the numeral "9".

07.11.89 Envelope

Not only over periods of time will Davis' handwriting style change, it even can instantaneously.  From the letter postmarked 12.23.88, note the capital "A" and the numeral "8"  where they change on a single line. Incidentally, this was written on lined, three-hole punched notebook paper.

That second "8" suspiciously tails off like the one written on the KHJ-TV envelope and like the following one on the 07.11.89 envelope.

Here is Davis' signature from the return address on the 07.11.89 envelope.

The middle initial "M" and the following one from the same envelope are reminiscent of the envelope of the 1974 Christmas card sent to Donna Lass' sister.
